I recognize that each individual's path is unique. The breath of life connects us all. Our task in this lifetime is to transcend our identification with our bodies and personalities and that in us all is the breath of God. In the deepest core of our beings we are at one with everything and everyone.
There is no enlightenment apart from where you stand, right here and right now. Just open your eyes and feel the breeze.
I highly recommend reading the book "Journey of Awakeing" by Ram Dass, "Zen Mind, Beginners Mind" by Shunryu Suzuki and "Meditation in Action" by Chogyam Trungpa. Journey of Awakening is light and breezy, Zen Mind, Beginners Mind will push you outside of the English Language, and Meditation in Action is like training for a marathon.
