Scammy commerical gurus bank on the folk theory of enlightenment as their main marketing conceit. They would not have any business if they were truly honest about the effects of self-realization on a person’s life.

I've talked to a number of people who imo think they're enlightened (or something close to it) in a... sort of self help way, but also whatever it is they've been doing does actually seem to have improved their life.

My sadhana period included relatively regular entheogen use, so I’m not totally against it so much as concerned that folks lose their desire to think critically, and that’s a first step into the realm of delusion, IMO.

Oh sorry to clarify, I didn't mean these ppl were using entheogens, though some were; most of them did meditation and some had full on guru teachers
