Wordly possessions- All the property that someone possess.
 
Self-Enlightenment- blessed state in which the individual transcends desire and suffering and attains Nirvana.
 
Nirvana- 1.the beatitude that transcends the cycle of reincarnation; characterized by the extinction of desire and suffering and individual consciousness. 2.Any place of complete bliss and inner peace.

I thought my Xbox and laptop were self-enlightenment.

I'm already enlightened. The world sucks and so does everyone in it. 
 
It's an overrated phenomenon. :P

Well if I could I would. But I don't believe in it but the idea to me is desirable (even though desire is a bad emotion).

We are so use to being attached with unneeded material objects that give us the illusion of happyness, but in truth it only bring us more despair as it consumes us into wanting more and more. Never will the hole created by this emptiness be filled by such possessions and only by letting go of these things will we truly be free. Inner-peace of mind and body, by helping others you are able to help yourself little by little and will slowly feel what happyness truly is. 
 
I kinda wish I believed in what I am saying, but I am still shackled by such things as possessions and self pleasing emotions.

Honestly feel a bit irritated when post like a one sided battle gains more notice and post than a topic that has some thought... I am childishly complaining and being ethnocentric about my topic being more intresting than some of the ones I consider silly. 
 
Just kinda hoped to get more people to chime in on their thoughts, be it against it or not.

I mean don't get me wrong, enlightenment  is great. But self-enlightenment seems to be more so focused upon truths that you as an individual comes upon. I'd rather be tapped into the truth of all things, so that way I won't be living my life dedicated to some lie or something I found to be true and work for me.
