Hey OP,
Don't listen to those who tell you there is no Enlightenment.
Actually Enlightenment is very real and its extremely deep. You can and if its meant to be, you will reach it with time.
It would be good to Meditate every day. At first its difficult because lots of thoughts are floating through your head. At the point ask "where are
they coming from?" and they will stop instantly and start again.
You will reach "no thought" very quickly but it will only last a few seconds or so, then in each meditation you will extend the no thought to be
longer and longer. In a month or so, you can get to "no thought" within a few minutes of starting meditation.
Now the key is to reach that "no thought" state and have that become your 24 hour a day state. Enlightenment is ego death and you being born
spiritually into a new spiritual you without the ego.
There are many people at this state. But After this ego death there are still many levels of Enlightenment. Stages such as Illumination, Dark Night of
the Soul, The complete emptying out of self, and then finally Union with All there is, or God. Even when you reach this "Union" as every day goes by
it will get deeper and deeper for the rest of your life. It feels like you dont exist and at the same you do. Union with God.
Another aspect in meditation you can strive for is putting all your conscious attention on your physical heart area, feel the beat, sense the physical
motion of your heart beating, and try daily in meditation to drop all your attention, focus, concentration on your heart area. There is a secret
chamber there. When you enter the chamber, you will see things in there in your minds eye, even if the room your in is completely dark and your eyes
are closed. At the end of the tunnel is where your soul, and God meet. You can enter into that and see many wonderful marvelous things, so extremely
wonderful that many people give up everything to spend the majority of their time within meditation to just be all the time in this "meeting
place."
Its all within you and get ready for many HUGE changes in your life if you take meditation serious. All it takes is time and effort. If you try this
for a week or so, you'll get minimal results. Stay with it for a year or so and you'l see HUGE results
