Shoutout to Rob Burbea’s Jhana retreat on Dharmaseed! Those lectures changed the entire trajectory of my meditation practice. 

^^    x1000000... Same here brother! The 1st time 1st jhana experience somewhat signifies the beginning of the path, in my opinion -- after that, it's like an explosion or snowballing of well-deserved faith, confidence, stillness, subtlety, etc.

Bentinho Massaro YT channel was very powerful as well! Very different approach but very effective highly conscious teacher. IMO, anyway.

Haha yeah he’s a little eccentric, but not too out-there imo, and he has a lot of value to share about accessing higher states without psychedelics. And a lot of cool and inspiring mind and life practices that work well.
