Yes, i would say enlightenment totally dpends on you alone. Buddha found it, they say, but no one knows what. all that is known is that he went seeking, he found, and those he spoke with were profoundly touched by his honesty and clarity. I would say only you know what it is you seek. perhaps enlightenment is simply the dedication of ones life to the search, perhaps not. I believe in becoming one with body and spirit, i believe totally that the mind can command the body totally, i also believe the human mind to be capable of things that should be impossible. I search too, I study science, hard, but i dont go to uni or have any qualifications i could compare with others. personally im not sure either dude, about my life or my destiny etc. what i am sure about is the questions i cannot answer and that I seek, almost violently within myself continously. you cannot explain this too others, they probably experiance it too tho. My quest, i have no idea, i may die knowing little, and having little power, but no matter where or when it ends my life will always be a search for these answers i know this. im not saying im a buddhist or enlightened or anything like that. all im saying is to search is no bad thing, ur in great company (not me but the greats of the past) and if u die and have imparted one grain of furthar knowledge or peacefull understanding into others then im sure ull be well remembered
