Leo was actually tripping on psychedelics during this particular enlightenment experience. Still, an experience of the truth is the same with or without drugs. It just wasn't a permanent shift.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but it looks like he is going through a nice A&P.  In the last year or so when discussing my own A&P's to my wife, I've been referring them as tripping, and it looks like he is tripping.

I wonder if the negative reactions I see in the video's comments will feed a tough dark night.
