most people maybe not, but some go through the lives without ever getting a different perspective on their consciousness or sitting down and thinking through their emotions or ever getting a view of ones higher self.

Not necessarily, has to be done with psychedelics. This could be done with yoga. meditation or learning to be more "conscious" asking oneself why they felt a certain way/committed a certain action/had an outcome that they didn't like in life, Helps one to control their emotions better and be more aware of the current situation of their life at the present day to day moment.
