After hundreds of trips on every psychedelic known to man, I can't really say I've ever had a mystical experience with drugs. I was always fascinated by the idea of having those revelations, but the closest I ever came was combining LSD with 80mg of DMT. I broke through and encountered an entity (which I met a few more times after this with DMT). However, the only thing he told me was "I told you so, hehehehe". I still don't know what to make of this. Maybe he was telling me that DMT entities do, in fact, exist in their own silly dimension.... but I'll never know.
I've experienced ego death several times, but I can't really say I learned anything from it, other than knowing that our brains, consciousness and reality are special and deserves more recognition and study.
I stopped using psychedelics in that way - looking for spiritual revelations, but still enjoy them for fun.
I'm still agnostic and non-religious. I'm still not very spiritual, and take a mathematical and scientific approach to life, however I do believe there is a God.... but I don't think our human brains are capable of comprehending what God is.
Consciousness defined by science is just a series of hallucinations. Electrical stimuli interpreted by your brain. Hallucinations you agree with, ones you predict, so it makes sense and that becomes your "reality".
I love this excerpt from Celia Green on existential psychology:
"On the face of it there is something rather strange about human psychology. Human beings live in a state of mind called sanity, on a small planet in space. They are not quite sure whether the space around them is infinite or not. Either way it is unthinkable. If they think about time, they find it is inconceivable that it had a beginning. It is also inconceivable that it did not have a beginning. Thoughts of these kind are not disturbing to sanity, which is obviously a remarkable phenomenon and deserves more recognition. The perception that existence exists invalidates the normal personality, as does the imminence of death. Now if you should see that the inconceivable that anything should exist, it is evident that at least one inconceivable fact is there. That is to say, that which exists is not limited to the conceivable. Since the inconceivable is there, it is impossible to set any limit to the quantity of inconceivableness, which may be present in the situation.
Now were the existence of anything consistently to remind you of the fact of inconceivability, since it is impossible to live without interacting with a large number of existing things, it would be impossible for you to feel in the same way about the conceivable. If anyone were reminded of the inconceivable by the fact of existence of all constantly, he would sooner or later have the perception that there may be inconceivable considerations, which are inconceivably more important than any conceivable consideration could be. Now if you do have a perception of an inconceivable consideration, it may be utterly invalidated by some other consideration which you do not know. And if you are reminded of this perception constantly by the fact that things exist, certain modifications take place in the way you feel about things. These modifications do not take place in the psychology of most people."
