I can attest to this 'enlightening' on mushrooms too, experienced when coming down from height of the trip. I am not spiritual at all, but spending months in buddhist places like Ladakh or Nepal made me realize I was closest to that compared to say christianity. It is some sort of unity with whole universe, living or not, profound and deep peace of mind with whatever life will throw at you, because in grand enough scheme of things it won't matter and its OK that way. These are mere words that can't describe the actual state, but the whole experience is still in some ways part of me and makes me a better person overall.

I can understand "a speck in a grand scheme". But how exactly the experience is making you better person? I know some people who do psychedelics, and they seem quite like anybody else. Sort of a foresee: a philosophy of "won't matter" is definitely not the one driving the personal growth.

  > But how exactly the experience is making you better person? Look at the original post: The John Hopkins study. This seems really trivial to argue. Look at the studies. Yes, there needs to be more, but the evidence looks promising. You arguing back and forth with everyone here is clearly going nowhere.
