I made an eastern religion joke earlier so I'm on the hook. Enlightenment is not descriptive. It doesn't "call for" things. You can't just read a blurb about enlightenment and become it. You need to walk the path. The separation of the spiritual and physical is a personal realisation on the path. Being able to see it intuitively is the goal, not to say "let's just forget the physical world".
These philosophies are very useful in the information revolution, and many of these concepts show up unchanged in the modern world. Enlightenment as I see it is similar to the idea that information itself is the primary substrate of the economy. A 3d printer will print anything, the file matters more.
