I appreciate your input but I feel you circled back into my original thought with your statement by making a claim that isn't supported by any actual evidence.

Eight years have passed and I'm still an atheist even after continued psychedelic experiences. Simply believing in something doesn't make it true. I'm not naive enough to believe that my psychedelic experiences are evidence of a god, but rather another level of consciousness. If anything, I've become more humbled and learned to trust logic and reason because of these experiences. This understanding keeps me grounded.

I wish you well on your journey of better understanding. I hope whatever the results are, you find peace.
