Freedom and enlightenment could be synonymous.

I haven't given anything up except altered states. They are just temporary distractions IMHO. You don't understand zen if your take on it is that it is quick. That doesn't even come close. Zen requires constant adjustment to conscious thought processes, or rather the correction of stinking thinking. Zazen is just one process. Mindfulness...now that is where the rubber meets the road, and I couldn't begin to claim I have mastered this. I'm not really a Buddhist, just a distant admirer of the Masters. The one Master I admire most is a Jewish nonconformist guy who turned the world on its ear a couple thousand years ago.
