I very recently took shrooms for the first time as well. It was a great experience. I had been watching Leo's videos and thinking a lot about enlightenment and self-actualization, and I felt like I intellectually understood a lot of these ideas, but was having trouble truly resonating with them and turning them into practical results in my life. I felt like I was onto something but couldn't really pinpoint it. The trip is what gave me much more of an experiential perspective. It induced an ego-death state and allowed me to actually experience all of these concepts.

I read recently on reddit someone else's experience with psychedelics and enlightenment, and think it makes a lot of sense. He described enlightenment as a cabin in the woods. Most people just wander around the forest all their life, never even realizing this cabin exists. What psychedelics can do is give you a tiny glimpse of it. If you're able to intuit that this cabin could possibly exist somewhere, they can give you a lens in which to glimpse a tiny portion of it- through a small window somewhere maybe. You can see a small corner of the house. But this is as far as psychedelics will take you- from there you need to have the wisdom to translate this experience into your sober reality so you can actually find the cabin, walk through the front door, and fully explore every room and all the nooks and crannies.
