    Enlightenment about what?

    This is also enlightenment: to become aware that we are all actually modern day slaves becausewe have to work, i. e. earn money, just to survive physically.

    pretty much the difference between the eastern enlightenment, which is about witnessing the mind, and the western enlightenment, which was to improve the mind and hence society through reason; but this version here is a western version of the eastern approach; I woul say that the new p2p approach is to focus on the horizontal, participatory aspects of consciousness, as vehicles for social justice ; I don’t know enough for the above to know if they take that aspect sufficiently into account, and whether therefore the approach has still a individualist, say even narcissic bias, but at the very least, it is very self-reflexive and self-criticial about spiritual authority, which is an important advance all by itself
