backdoor enlightenment 

1.
percieved enlightenment
obtained through methods
that dont neccessarily deliver
the productivity of enlightenment

2.
shortcut to enlightenment
(an oxymoron as one cancels out the latter)
(as in.. he may think that hes figured it out living inside his acid trip
but no real progress has been made as he is still attached to the one plane- he percieves to be "it")

ex: "Ive seen many suffer the illusions of backdoor enlightenment in the psytrance scene."

Apple of Enlightenment 

A strange figure that Starman Deluxe mentions toward the end of EarthBound, upon his defeat by your hands. It has no known manifestation in the game nor is it said to have one. All that it says is that Ness and his friends are bound to beat Giygas.
Starman Deluxe: You're much stronger *whirrr* than our intelligence indicated...
We were not *beep* prepared for that eventuality...
The Prophecy from the *click* Apple of Enlightenment may be true...
but you must not *whirrr* underestimate us.
