our path to enlightenment: where it began

How did your journey begin? Where did you learn philosophical concepts about spirituality, enlightenment, and consciousness? is it through loved ones, books, podcasts?

for me it’s books, granddad, and my mom. my mom fillssss our message thread with millions of spiritual concepts, text, memes, and youtubers. my grandfather, a preacher, taught me meditation at a young age and encouraged me to trust in the universe & God throughout my life. I always come to him when going thru an existential crisis haha. but, i personally started with the power of now (eckhart tolle) after attempting to practice the law of assumption. the idea of presence removing all problems resonated with me well and i wanted to master it immediately. then i discovered this amazing free audiobook website (galaxyaudiobooks) where i was learning so so much more: stoicism, taoism, true meditation, Bhagavad Gita, ram dass, etc. learning about yourself provides the best high, i swear!

i encourage you to share your stories!!
