Enlightenment is logical?

(consciousness = we don't know exactly, logic can only go so far into that topic)

If "enlightenment" simply means realizing that you are just the consciousness observing your mind , then it is possible to come to that conclusion using LOGIC. But most people don't want to look that deeply because it's scary. And I mean yes, it IS scary... the question is WHO is producing that feeling? 

You? (the consciousness)

Or the 'you' you THINK you are (your mind, your ego, your identity)

What is fear? Isn't it a defense-mechanism? Something to keep us safe right? We need that, it makes sense. If a serial killer is chasing you then fear is extremely USEFUL to keep yourself alive.

But what is the "self"? What is it truly?

In the book Atomic Habits, the author James Clear suggests to change your identity in order to change your habits. But what is "identity"? If I can mold it into something different, then what IS identity?! And if my identity has been molded many times in my lifetime, but I've been there to experience all of them, then who am I?!

Find out who you are NOT first. And see what's leftover.

"Enlightenment" has no finish line, it just means the lights are turned on. If someone tells you they are the only "enlightened" person on earth, then you KNOW it's a fake.

Unexpected by-products of this journey:

Significantly higher EQ

The mind is more peaceful because less thoughts are being PRODUCED

Triggers begin to fade away like leaves in autumn

You are able feel more PRESENT in your daily life (I can clearly observe and hear the things happening around me, however now I am learning to let go of judgment towards the things and people I see)

You are more easily able to feel child-like at random times

You KNOW when someone is trying to deceive you

And much more. I know someone out there reading this is further ahead on this journey than I am. I mean of course, this journey has no ending. When humans have looked as far as possible in outer space, what have they found? More emptiness. When humans have look as far as possible into microscopic matter, eventually what do they find? More emptiness. Now it's your turn to look within and see what YOU find.
