I believe the opening of consciousness through psychedelics would benefit mankind. I hear your experience and feel like we came to many of the same conclusions with different words used to explain how. I believe this history of creation lies insides our DNA and it gives us real comfort to know that history as far back as possible. And IMHO, I believe that if an atheist were to cut off the ego that disallows even a shred of faith in God, they could experience the divine in a way that will give them comfort that a higher consciousness is watching over us, even if it isn't able stop wicked humans from being wicked
You've totally missed the mark with schizophrenia. Some handle parts of daily life just fine. They react to some aspects of reality the same as nonschizophrenics. Not all their "experience" is reality with bad transmission and interpretation. How would you explain auditory command hallucinations in the absence of anyone speaking? Or grandiose delusions? Or catatonia? There is much more to the condition that has little/nothing to do with reality perception.
Apparently you haven't experienced a "freak out" trip or you might have a different opinion on psychedelics, god and the universe. You should probably read about "set and setting".
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
