Can the (Existentialist) Absurdism of Camus become a Path to Enlightenment?

Details

May's study will be conducted by Bro. Dennis Garza as he asks the question, "Can the (Existentialist) Absurdism of Camus become a Path to Enlightenment?"

Synopsis:
Camus thought that life was absurd, but that knowing that life was absurd was a beginning, not an end. By realizing it is all absurd, you have the opportunity to rebel against the meaninglessness. In The Myth of Sisyphus he says, ““accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful.” Can this revolt lead to a spiritual awakening? Or is this possibility absurd?
