EVEN MORE about this episode!

What if hitting rock bottom unlocked the cosmos? In this gripping episode, spiritual seeker and The Broader Lens Podcast host Booboo Garcia shares his raw journey from gang life and addiction to a soul-shattering ego death that rewired his reality.

Booboo opens up about the trauma that shaped him, the moment of pure nothingness that awakened him, and how glimpses of past lives and vivid spiritual encounters set him on a path of truth and transformation.

We dive deep into ancient wisdom—from the Nag Hammadi to Yogananda—while unraveling the spiritual codes hidden in pop culture. If you’ve ever questioned your purpose or sensed there’s more beyond the veil, this episode is your invitation to explore the mystical side of healing, awakening, and who we really are.
