In an evolutionary context, development has no end. That means we can always develop more, further, higher and deeper. In Traditional Enlightenment, it’s possible to become ‘fully enlightened’.

God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

-Stephen Covey
