Xeno -

While I agree we're always working through the fog, I do think that there is an endpoint.

That's a great way of thinking of it. It certainly is a research-intensive process. Thanks for stopping by.

You're absolutely right. It is a process. But there is an endpoint. There is a point where reunification with the Divine ends the process.

we see through a glass darkly

we never achieve total enlightenment

only partial

the fog dissipates to some extent, but never lifts entirely.

we just have to maneuver through the fog the best we can.

I see Enlightenment as having the lamp of knowledge lit, and feeding it with the oil of further research!

I don't see enlightenment as a destination

but more of a process. I'm more enlightened today than I was yesterday, but less than I will be tomorrow.
