Spiritual Enlightenment may have been reached through any number of means, including Meditation , a process of reason (including Atheism and Deism ), or organised Religion . VIRTUOUS SECTS Some sects are known to practice various forms of Virtue Ethics as a means of fostering their goals and are thought to trace their lineages through the Chivalry of the Middle Ages to the time of Alexander The Great and the teachings of Plato and Aristotle . One such sect espouses meditation on ''quality'', ''integrity'', ''commitment'', ''honour'', and ''energy'' as a means of honing the mind and creating a fertile ground for virtuous acts.
