It's not that you need psychedelics to realize that 'everything is connected,' it's that it can help some people feel that in a tangible way. If that makes any sense, which it probably doesn't. I experienced ego death from a mushroom trip back when I was 16, and I still remember the gut punch impact of that feeling as if it were yesterday, and it was almost 20 years ago. It still has a humbling effect when I think about it. Makes me put more thought into why people are acting the way they are in certain situations and the like. All that being said, if you are taking a massive amount to consistently get to that state of mind you are frying your brain to mush and aren't learning shit. And if you just take small doses there is quite literally nothing profound or spiritual about it, I just like that it makes colours sharper and the game I'm playing at the time kinda trippy.

Yeah, this.
It's a fast and tangible way of putting your idea of reality into context. It may not be the path itself but it shows clearly that there are other paths out there.
