I know the common perception of an "enlightened being" is one of a highly evolved being who is extremely wise, is considered quite "godlike", and can perhaps perform miracles, etc. But is that truly what "enlightened" means?
Lately, I've come to the conclusion (at least for me) that true enlightenment merely means that one has somehow "felt" through the veil of forgetfulness to rediscover that he or she is not just a part or an aspect of The One (God, Source, Universe, whatever one may wish to call "All That Is"), but at their highest, most expanded level, they
ARE that being in its entirety. The limited physical consciousness of our so-called "ego" is simply an individualized expression of Self so that "All That Is" can create, experience, and explore Itself through and from a limited human perspective.
Now in my present state of being, I'm not consciously aware of any ability to do anything out of the generally accepted human norm--and I may not be able to perform miracles just yet, but I do consider myself to be "enlightened" insofar as the above definition is concerned. It also doesn't mean that I consider myself to be any better or worse than anyone or anything else--I'm simply at my own unique level of consciousness where I recognize that I'm a Divine Being. And so is everyone and everything else. They just might not have rediscovered this yet because they're still immersed in the illusion that they are not. And, believe it or not, that is perfectly OK. They're just doing what they're supposed to be doing.
