Enlightenment to me means evolution. Simply put, its the next state of expanded consciousness that you can experience, and is entirely dependent on the state of consciousness that you are in. For a human, there is no end to our own personal enlightenment.

Our conscious awareness is fleeting and flickers to and fro. Even if you have a moment where you realize who you truly are, the next moment you can forget. Reaching enlightenment means getting to that plateau of a new consciousness, whatever it is for you, where there is no turning back. Where its not just a moment but a new state of awareness that defines you.
Right that all sounds wonderful but you're not speaking in an achievable, practical and broadly recognizable way.

Can we stop with the mystical bullshit for once and just help people understand how they can keep a clear mind?

For instance, another tip to retaining mindfulness: Lose time. Drop your sense of time and with it you regain all the extra attention being used for illusory criteria.
