I think you're stuck in the Mind, in ideas, in concepts.  You need to transcend the Mind for Enlightenment.

@Joseph Maynor What led to this conclusion? 

What is the mind and where is it right now? 

Is "me being stuck" an idea; a concept, as well? Or the rules do not apply in that case?

Call it a hunch.

This is why Buddhism is ultimately wrong. Yes there is a transcendent aspect to reality, but that is not all there is. The Pali canon tries to approach an aspect of perfection when it notes the aeons of reincarnations needed for the Buddha to attain Enlightenment. You can not approach perfection with numbers; like the kids game of saying infinity plus 1! The spirit of the message makes sense, it's logic does not.

Equally being is wrong; unfortunately judgements mean perhaps little, or nothing next to God.

What knows that knowledge does or does not exist and that understanding is or is not an illusion? :)

@Jack River No one knows anything.

Awareness is aware. 

Thoughts can only see thoughts in the mirror.

"This is why Buddhism is ultimately wrong" -- what a big claim!  What is Buddhism?  Let's start there.

wikipedia is wrong, as long as I didn't read it, it doesn't exist

Wikipedia doesn't even scratch the surface of the amazingness and vastness of Buddhism.
