I like to know if i am enlightened being, but it is hard to know if i am the one or not. Because it doesn't feel any different than usually. And zen masters usually say that you will know when you become enlightened one.

zen is okay. this is like listening to a noisy sound. a child of two in a crib or playpen will have a constant change by self. this says sees nothing yet visually locks onto a solid visual and grins and laughs. enlightened. We learn to be not enlightened. dogma is powerful. Admit of be considered stupid or ignorant. Child laughs in happiness.
ages ago of 1980s time, isolation tanks movies said this could happen. has happened.
eventual overload from massive information more than can be utilized.
Become human or become hermit. decision required.

"Enlightened" only means you understand something. Or you think you understand. Astronomers and physicists see the same blobs of light when they look at stars, but astronomers are trained to analyze things according to gravity and physicists are trained to analyze things according to electric charge. So both groups consider themselves to be enlightened, and both groups consider the other group to be deluded.
I can't speak of you specifically because you have not identified your field of study.
If you enter a dark room, how do you know whether the light is on or not? It's very simple, if you enter a dark room and if you can see nothing, the light is off. The moment you switch on the light, you come to know the light is on because you see everything. So it is with enlightenment, it is switching on the light within. When you can see that you are the Divine Soul, the Spirit, the Atman that is within, then you are enlightened. When you live in darkness, where you cannot see who you are, why you are here, then you are not yet enlightened. We must understand the true meaning of enlightenment and seek it. Then slowly and steadily we will realize the truth, we will see the light.
