our ghostly endeavors

You have a perception of yourself. It is not real, at least in three-dimensional space. No one else sees it except perhaps in glimpses. It is a ghost. You are wed to your ghost. So-called enlightenment is knowing you have a self-created ghost. That is Enlightenment One. Enlightenment One A is dissolution of the ghost: Ghost Dissolving 101. Enlightenment 2 is strong laughter at the very thought.
