Enblightenment

The act of becoming enlightened through depraved means.

I'm so close to enblightenment - I skullfucked a corpse covered in shit, fingering my asshole with cheetos fingers, all while watching 2 girls 1 cup. Just another day on my spiritual path to God.

Enlightened American Syndrome

A self-loathing American who disparages American society and people with sweeping negative stereotypes and subjective rantings, with unsaid implication that they have somehow risen above their countrymen and behave in a more cultured manner. EAS is especially common among young Americans who have traveled or lived briefly in an expat bubble overseas.

Julie came back from her summer study program in Germany with a bad case of Enlightened American Syndrome and won't stop complaining about the ugly strip malls in her neighborhood.

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."

enlightenment

A "Neo seeing code view in the matrix" moment in real life; specially juicy if done through tantra or guided shamanistic drug evenings, and the bonus you get for near-death experiences.

"Who said that? Oh my God. I am living my mother. Get me outta here!" Pop!
"aaaaah - if I shut up and think before I speak, I won't risk repeating what's she's said, and if I loosen up and fuck whoever I please without trendy value judgements ruining my merging experience I'll be a happier person"

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.
