According to Buddhism, everything is impermanent. So how can the state of enlightenment be permanent? Can an enlightened being become less enlightened, more enlightened, or even de-enlightened?

According to Buddhism everything is impermanent, so how can the state of being human be permanent? an you become less human, more human or even de-humaned?

You can’t, because human is what you are and you are that throughout the entirety of your existence, which is not permanent. You become de-humaned in the moment of your death.

Enlightenment is not a state, it is what one is. It is permanent, but only for the physical organism’s life span. Once the organism is dead, enlightenment ends, just like humanity ends, and only awareness is, as it always is.
