Leo, what was your first awakening like?

[kylan11]

See title. Out of pure curiosity. @Leo Gura I've watched almost all of your videos yet I can't seem to remember a time where you specifically told the detailed story of the first time you've had a mystical experience. Nor I was able to find it in this forum. I assume it was with psychedelics.

I find there's something special about the first time you awaken, like a switch that you can never turn off once it's been flipped. To know that you know nothing and everything you thought you knew was bullshit. And sure you can go infinitely deeper but remembering that first HOLY SHIT moment always gives me a pure sense of joy and a weird nostalgia and I'd love to know the full story/context/etc.

So, if you don't mind, what was that like for you? Trip report style? Maybe it's a good idea for a video. I'd watch it in a heartbeat.

Actually it came from meditation not psychedelics. I describe it in some old video, can't remember which.

@Leo Gura Did you do any psychedelics prior to that or it was completely sober?
