Oh, I see. That sounds a lot like religion! Various levels, you have to do certain things before you can be enlightened, misconceptions about 'truth' (which implies a personal knowledge of an objective and inarguable 'truth'), etc.
The Ten Bulls, a Buddhist concept, has it that you progress along a progression to enlightenment, at the end of which you achieve a "perfection of wisdom."
My philosophy is: Why wait?
