How does one reach spiritual enlightenment

I don't think there's any absolute definition of "enlightenment", it's going to vary from person to person.. but my interpretation of it is, achieving a state of non-commitance to the material world. in other words, you're thinking and living on a higher level, where the physical reality is just one of the many realities you are experiencing. it's a spiritual and religious and emotional awakening. you forgo your dependencies and insecurities and attachments to anything human-made, and embrace the world as it really is.
