To understand, you have to get out of your current 'reality context'.
It's very easy actually.
A powerful psychedelic trip leads to a couple of simple realisations:
- you are God that created this Universe experiencing the sensation of being separate, weak and mortal within this body
- all living beings are the same - God experiencing himself subjectively. Including the cells in your body - God in a different 'vehicle'. Hence 'we are one'. Hence the necessity to be respectful towards all of nature - they're all you and you will experience all the interactions with your 'current' self.
- you have been here since the beginning of time and will 'exist' forever.
- Life is a trip, a story, a simulation. You will wake up from it one day. It's hard to believe it, because it's so 'real'.
But everybody will get 'it' when they die.

That is, "realization" implies that there is some truth that you are realizing is true. But these things may well be not actually true, just impressions from using chemicals to temporarily alter your brains. They may not even be true on the next trip! Acid trips as a way of actually discovering truth (rather than perception) seems to me to be hopelessly naive.
