Lol...are you "enlightenment" dudes honest enough to admit that this stuff is primarily fueled by ego and self-interest, and your desire to be "enlightened" is mostly about wanting to bebetter than the next man?
We not here to talk about atheism. So please stop talking about yourself and move on.

Nice zinger. First time for everything. It would nice to hear an answer to the question though.the point of "enlightenment" is to improve one's quality of life, that is, the perception's of one's life experiences.
and it is also to improve the quality of life for everyone else.
so both are true.
naturally there are some perpetrators out there. but the path to "enlightenment" by nature takes one away from harmful usage of the ego and towards the expression of love. so that makes so called "spiritual leaders" who express harmful egotistical desires easy to spot.
a man is defined by his intention, and his actions. if he is righteous in both, he has already mastered the first level of enlightenment.
but to really have this discussion we have to operate from the same definition of enlightenment, which i doubt we do.
more rosicrucian piff on the way..

Fair enough. I still think most people that are into this sort of stuff just want to feel like they're better than the next man, though.

some background info on steiner
Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner[2] (25/27 February 1861[3] 30 March 1925) was an Austrian philosopher, social reformer, architect, and esotericist.[4][5] Steiner gained initial recognition as a literary critic and cultural philosopher. At the beginning of the 20th century, he founded a spiritual movement, anthroposophy, as an esoteric philosophy growing out of idealist philosophy and with links to theosophy.
Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual component. He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view, in which Thinking is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas.[9] A consistent thread that runs from his earliest philosophical phase through his later spiritual orientation is the goal of demonstrating that there are no essential limits to human knowledge.

That's one of the first things you drop coming into this knowledge. We are supposed to become enlightened to the fact that we are one human race, part of a collective consciousness or awareness. We see all as God created, despite any religion, Creed, race, anything that separates us. Thus "Heaven on Earth" is achieved.
It's the Ego that thinks as a pyramid, im better than you or vice versa. But enlightenment thinks as a circle, we are all learning how to live as equals.
But that's the issue; we live in an ego driven, society construct. It thinks as a hierarchy, and creates the problems of the world today.
Enlightenment isn't a religion or a belief so to say. It's an uncovering of universal truths and knowledge. It's as simple as "The Sun shines on all of Us"
It's like when Stewie and Bryan were in that Hot Air balloon and they look down and they saw Earth as a map vs seeing life as it is, without (man made) borders
