What is 'Enlightenment'?

It is the abandonment of reason. There is the 'Matrix' being used (or perhaps came into existence naturally) to confine our minds. It forms the separation between sheep, and shepherd. The politicians, celebrities, etc, are beyond reason (though not entirely), or 'unreasonable'.
Now, what is 'Reason'? 'Reason', is thinking with words. That's all it is. You were given symbols (words) by your language, of abstract concepts, like 'good' and 'evil', like 'god', like 'identity', and even 'separateness'. Then, you use those symbols to create a reason; a philosophy; a doctrine; or a purpose. Keep in mind, these abstract concepts, which you take to be truth, or real, were created by someone other than you, whom you don't know. By this process, you turn your emotions, and your identity into words - you turn your entire reality into words. We are social animals, and for that reason, words carry profound power - more power, in some cases, than one's own perception. Words become our world. We stop truly perceiving. And this is why childhood memories are always the most indelible; because we were still recording our experiences with our eyes and other senses. An adult with an inner-monologue is converting his perceptions into words, and in this way his perceptions are also influenced by his language.
Thinking with words, reduces one's cognition profoundly, for they only see and think with mere snapshots of the reality they're perceiving. A symbol (word) is only a reference to a real or abstract thing, and therefore all of its' 'life' is lost to the symbol. For instance, if I were to tell you that the sky is 'blue', supposing you'd never seen it, do you think I could ever, with all the words available to me, convey the actual reality of it? So, he who needs not 'reason', who perceives reality without a layer of translation, sees more. Sees all the little things his 'reason' couldn't tell him, for no words or questions he could think of would predict what he perceived.
