Everyone said 25 was the time your brain stopped developing and I never really knew what that meant - but, now that I'm 28, it feels like a real thing. It feels like there was a meaningful shift in my brain at around 25. Do you guys feel like this happened at all?

Start eating nootropics, omega 3s, vitamin d, and other nutrients. Your brain is still good.

My brain feels good now, just... different? Like, I think I identify with who I was up until 25; before then feels like it was someone else. When I was 25, I remember feeling like I only identified with my past selves at around 12-6 month intervals.

Try putting yourself in novel situations and experiences, travel like a nomad for a year, sell all your belongings. Most people don't realize those feelings don't ever have to go away.

I have several actually; Ive been interviewing a bunch of people who claim enlightenment (or something similar) and have come up with roughly six categories. I'm planning on writing about it at some point.

Look forward to seeing this; I didn't take your survey for people who felt they had experienced this because I feel I'm not, even tho I often think am moreso than many who claim to be. (tho will be gone till the weekend after this, so not before then)

Interesting, I’ve never really considered that there could be different categories for enlightenment. I’m definitely going to do some thinking about it now tho. I can’t wait to read your thoughts as well, hopefully coming sooner rather than later :)
