It's all about letting go. To paraphrase one of my favorite philosophers, beauty/perfection is obtained by taking away, not adding to. The funny thing is that putting this into practice is waaay harder than simply understanding the concept.

One lucy trip triggered a year-long "trip" of its own that has brought me a completely new perspective to see reality from. The LSD trip didn't teach me anything MAJOR on its own, but it gave me a strong and loving shove in the right direction.
Not sure if anyone said this already, but I learned that All is One. :D Life and consiousness don't follow different rules than the rest of nature, we are subject to cause and effect and ought to seek equillibrium with our environment, which shouldn't be hard because it is us, and we are it.
The thing that makes humans special, when compared to other Earth animals, is that we have the power to choose what energy we put into this system. And it's baffling that we all don't just pour love and compassion into our reality, and enjoy the intensified echo of positivity that would ensue. The reason we don't all automatically do this, is the ego. The illusion that we are separate from this system, that we are separate from anything. We all possess the knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil. It is inside of us already, it needs not to be taught. This is what really turned me away from Christianity, which teaches the idea that human suffering comes from humans trying to see good and evil, a bit counter-fucking-productive there.
This has been the hardest point in my life, but also the happiest part, with the clearest sense of direction. I've been living my life wrong all along, and now I am trying to turn this motherfucker the other way. That's a hard thing to do, because most modern societies directly combat this way of thinking.

It's taught me, or rather "shown" me how alive we really are.

Psychedelics fuel my will to be my own boss and think for myself.

That in the big picture, we are nothing. It can be kind of depressing or very enlightening, depending on how you view the situation.
That we are all responsible for our own consciousness. We are not helpless victims. Even though I don't really believe in free will, because what I think is our true motives would manifest unimpeded if it weren't for the fact that we all project illusory fragmentation and conflict on the inseparable world.

1. All is one, love is the key
2. If the path is too dimly-sit to see where you are going, find someone who has walked it before. And then, help others to walk it later
3. Everything learned is just that, learned, and not necessarily true.

to look at things from every point-of-view.. there's always another side to something, even if my subconscious is completely convinced that something is just the way it is, there's always something important that I may not be considering
also when I was younger and going through crazy anxiety problems like so many people seem to have today, and I'd always tried to convince myself that girls are human just like me etc, well now I think I finally have a grasp on that.. except more on the lines of "we're all just hunks of meat"

Dont sweat the small shit, and dont hold on to anyone. Everyone leaves at one time and there isn't anything you can do about it so no reason to fret over it.

That I'm not alone in this world
Related: That life wouldn't be worth living if there were no one to share it with.

This is sort of a weird one, but in the end time has no meaning.
I have no idea why the fuck I came up with that, but it has crossed my mind on several different psychs.

Psychedelics saved me from nihilism. When I was young I was raised to value science and logic and thought very low of religion. I thought, god obviously doesn't exist, so clearly I don't have a soul and consciousness is only an evolutionary mechanism. I thought that we were all stuck inside of our skulls as prisoners, forever condemned to try and decipher language and perception, never really communicating, always separated by an infinite sea of perception and interpretation. It wasn't a very pleasant perspective to say the least, but after my first ++++ I never saw anything the same again. All is one, it is true, it's ineffable. I felt my spirit disintegrate into the ocean of energy, i felt the brilliant light of unity. How can a chemical or two do this!?!?!
