-I'm gonna get enlightened. -No, you're not.

This word was used in a context. My original question relied on that context to try to clarify the meaning of the word & unfuzzy it. Sounds like the issue is with the word “I” rather than the word enlightenment. If by “i” I mean this system (not self), can “i” get enlightened?

Right! There are two booby-traps built into the koan, and you're questioning both of them. First is that "I", properly understood as process, can't "get" anything at all. Second is that "enlightenment," if it means something that can be got and owned, is a fantasy.
