The brief stretch of time just after a good morning shit, coinciding with ones morning coffee kicking in, that is characterized by peak mental illumination and a deep sense of physical bliss.
Jake waltzed out onto the deck, took a deep breath of the crisp morning air, plopped down in a recliner, kicked his feet up over the deck railing, clicked open the e-magazine on his iPad, took another sip of coffee, gazed off into nothingness, and sighed deeply as he entered his period of enlightenment.

Get the Period of Enlightenment mug.Spiritual enlightenment is the discovery of a whole dimension of yourself hidden in plain sight that you had never experienced before: your true Self. This dimension is not perceivable with the senses because it’s not within the field of your awareness. Instead, it is the source and ground of your awareness itself.
Therefore, you can’t know this dimension with the mind. You can only know it by being it, which activates a dormant cognitive device far superior to the mind. This is achieved by forgoing all mental distractions and allowing every bit of your awareness to return to its source. Because when the full weight of your attention rests idly on its ground, a sinkhole opens up into this dimension and you become your true Self.
The inexpressible knowledge that you gain by being your Self is so astonishingly clear, certain, and revealing that it blows your mind and shatters all your previous ideas and conceptions of reality. This knowledge affords a vantage point from which you realize that while everything that you perceive (i.e. your mind, your body, and the entire physical universe) is transitory and ephemeral, your true Self exists absolutely, beyond time and space, always here and always now.
Furthermore, being your Self brings with it an unshakeable state of peace and fulfillment that is completely indescribable; a glorious state in which being, knowing, and loving are one and the same. Because in that state, all is one, and your Self is all that exists.

Get the Spiritual enlightenment mug.More than just the simple belief that divinity lies within all life equally, it is the personal experience of this. It is feeling this spirit that dwells in all life,"oneness", that turns this belief into a personal knowing.
Your inner state of being that was present as young a child but lost around the age of 2 or 3. This inner quality found joy from within, laughed endlessly, and had wondered in awe of the world.... no worries or burden carried around as a result of the passage of time…enlightenment, the experience can be measured by the depth and degree of inner peace.

Example 1:
Person 1: I sure wish somebody would love who I am so much that they would like to live like me.
Person 2: Read The Enlightenment of Alexander
Example 2:
Person 1: We should get a little freaky tonight.

Get the hipster enlightenment mug.A question asked by someone where said question causes a lot of thinking to occur, almost on a spiritual level. You'll know you're being hit with a question of enlightenment when it brings forth an extreme sensation of awe. These questions have been witnessed before in popular media, but the term has been left undefined until now. These questions help increase humanity's understanding of its' environment as well as itself.
Trevor in GTA5 once asked a vegan woman, "You don't eat meat by you'll eat c**k?". This is a very good example of a question of enlightenment. Another example not from media would be "how can a lesbian be a lesbian if they like strap on dildos?".
