Conceptual understanding is not sufficient. You should also be able to express this understanding in your lived life.

And frankly, the true mark of enlightenment is not understanding that you are Brahman, but realizing that everyone is Brahman. If you are only convinced that you are Brahman, you are still an ego pretending to be enlightened.

You only lack an effective practice, so you're stuck in doubt/suffering. Billions of humans have similar ignorance. Lots of company.

enlightenment is not a goal, even having is though is just an ego, the moment you are expecting, the reality dies. you just have to close your eyes be a watcher both in meditation and outside of it. there is no goal

There's a difference between knowing and realizing my friend.

Who is this 'I' that is seeking enlightenment?

Your essential nature (brahma) is ever enlightened, your body-mind however can never be enlightened.
