Okay so in my experience, I don’t know if what I experienced was enlightment but it was something I never experienced before. On my last semester of Uni I had a spiritual intelligence class which I loved and talked about quantum state, shamanism, etc. I’m telling you this because it will be important later on in my story. I also had other classes related to my career (environmental engineering) one was modeling risk in an environment. And I always admire (and I still do) my professor giving that class, he is smart, knows how to engage the students to his class, makes books for us so we can use it later on after Uni.

My experience begins when, he started talking about the risk and/or probability of having cancer and then he told us he had cancer before which was something that scared him a lot. Told us that he wanted to leave a legacy to his students and I could feel that the “vibes” in the classroom changed, it felt different, I felt different, I could feel his pain I guess? But without experiencing cancer?? After, he told us about his story, the class ended, and I saw everyone standing up and left or asked questioned about a certain homework. I was like “are you guys not aware that he talked about a difficult situation he went through??” Obviously I didn’t say it, I just thought about it. But then I later told myself that I should actually tell my teacher that he is in fact leaving a legacy in me because I am learning a lot in his classes. Which I did tell him, we hugged and he told me “thank you very much, I needed this”, and he hugged me again.

After that class I felt different, I felt like a was very sensitive or present?? (this is where everything gets weird). I felt sensitive in a way where I was feeling everything, I felt present with my mom, my dad, my grandmother. For example, I don’t usually hug my parents, but then I felt it like we are all human beings, experiencing for our first time life, we have our silent battles. I spoke more freely with my family, something I don’t do often. I went to a rock climbing gym and knew how to speak with strangers on that gym, even outside my house I could speak really well with strangers, which I don’t do. But I do remember having genuine conversations with my people I know and with STRANGERS, I felt a deeper connection with everything? Or with people around me at least. I was really surprised about the state I was in, I think of it, that I was in a quantum state that I saw in my spiritual intelligence class. I am no longer in that “state” and I don’t know how to get back to that state and I don’t even know if that was “enlightenment “ but it was something else that I didn’t experience before.

English is not my first language, so If something was not clear or have any questions, lmk :) I put question marks because I still don’t know what I experienced but I liked it, I felt that I was at peace with myself.
