Well, i am not enlightened but i noticed that I had several profound insights in my self-inquiry journey that affected permanently how I experience Reality. Sometimes people talk and teach about enlightenment as it is a binary thing, one moment you are lost in Maya and the next moment BOOM, full enlightenment, you are God. In my experience, it can be slow and gradual with peak experiences along the way.

Initiation into self-inquiry can open many doors for you. I don't know much but Papaji and Mooji use initiations into self-inquiry. Then it's a different world.

Detatchment from hurtful destructive patturns of thinking. Identification with negative ways of seeing things causes a lot of suffering and gets you stuck as you think it is you so you don't do anything about it.
