Alright Brethren .. hes found us out .. our gig is up.. someone please call Lucifer up and tell him to bring the Mother ship around, we will need a lift out of here. Pesky Humans always meddling in our diabolical affairs!
Are you Northern Jurisdiction then? The 7 pointed star is part of the 27th degree, Southern Jurisdiction... and the heptagon without the inscribed star is used in a few other degrees (as are the 9 pointed star and the nonagon).

Personally.. the seven point star you spoke of before is not linked to any branch of Masonry that I am apart of.
If you do not consider such experiences to be enlightenment, than either 1) how would you define enlightenment, or 2) what would you call your indescribable experience?

One can have an experience that is impossible to describe in language, but that doesn't make them "enlightened" in any sense other than they have caught a glimpse of something that is ordinarily quite hidden. It happened to me, and I held the experience close to me for a very long time.
Must? Perhaps not. But isn't the aftermath of such an experience well served by contemplation of both its revelation and its consequence?
It also doesn't mean that I must now be stoic, patient, wise, humble, or inscrutable.
