For those who might ask "What does that even mean?", this is what I'm reading that triggered the question: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/transformative-experience/

Recent can mean the most recent you can remember, even if it was years ago. Interested in what y'all might say.

Finding the perfect partner after all of my strange or toxic relationships I’ve ever had. Married now, together for an eternity, never had a fight. They’re perfect.

Also the one time I did WAY too much K. I’ve done everything but opiates, I’ve broken through on DMT multiple times, I THOUGHT I had known ego death… not even close. It was like a reality-curtain was pulled back and I was seeing, feeling, and knowing things that aren’t meant for humans. It was terrifying. Well, once I could feel again it was.

I haven’t done it since. That was like four years ago.

D'aww. A good partner certainly changes your perspective on things. It's amazing when you mesh with another human so much that you decide "So I'm just going to be around you forever so we can grow into something incredible together".

Lol, K has always scared the shit out of me - but it can certainly be a transformative experience!
