Starting with mushrooms for spiritual use.

Hey! I'm new to this forum just created an account although I've read many posts on here. I recently just tried mushrooms, and have only done it twice. First time I maybe had about a level 2 trip, just some intense visuals but that was about it. First dose was 2grams. Next time I tried it was 2.2g and I was level 4, easily haha. My purpose of posting is to find out how to have more spiritual type trips, do I start on low doses and work my way up? Because I had a problem with my 2nd trip when I felt my mind leaving my body I'd snap back to reality on purpose because it would scare me, I need help "letting go" while I'm tripping. I would like advice on how to start using this for self exploration and spiritual purpose. Should I start on a lower dose of 1.5g and slowly go up each time from there? For example, next time is 1.5g then next time 2g then 2.5 etc. And letting my mind slip while I'm on it is what lets you "leave the world" so to speak yes? Just trying to get a better understanding on this. Any advice on how you prepare yourself physically or mentally beforehand would be great. Also any books on this is appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help!
Also my apologies if this is not in the correct section haha.

The intention to use it for self exploration is enough. The mushrooms will reveal their lessons to you if you want to listen.

Maybe try some meditation while tripping? I've never tried it myself but I think it would make a trip much more spiritual.

I would suggest incorporating meditation into your life. You can do it while you're tripping if you want- it can be pretty mindblowing, but I would at least practice it when you aren't tripping. Helps a lot with loosening the grasp of the ego and allowing more profound experiences to occur.

Not really. What most people (and I assume you) think of as "spiritual" trips are ones that deal with more metaphysical aspects of your reality impressions. I find those only really come out at higher dosages. Working up isn't bad but after you've got that figured out I'd say just go for the dose that works and don't try to creep up on it - trips don't work that way and one days so-so dosage can be the next months whether or not you're ready for it. 
In other words, the shit that really blows your mind sometimes comes out of nowhere, and nothing can prepare you for it (well maybe years of meditation but that's a different topic).

Great replies, only other question is that letting go thing I was talking about. When I feel my mind slip during the trip do I just let myself kind of go?

Yeah that's the best way. No good fighting it. That's where meditation will help a LOT.

I see. Because during my last trip I was laying in bed and when I closed my eyes I could see this room with like a red lantern and when my eyes are closed I could feel myself almost entering that room, but then I'd open my eyes cause I got a bit scared haha. If I just let myself kind of fade with my eyes closed what will happen honestly? I know thats a noob question

There's no telling what will happen, but most likely you will see some amazingly strange stuff like you've never seen before in your life.

Mushrooms actually led me to meditation and once I started to meditate on mushrooms, it gave the most intense trips and greatest euphoria of my life. I would definitely recommend giving meditation a shot. It may take a few journeys before your able to calm your thoughts, and get over how surrealistic the experience is.
For me, smoking a small amount of cannabis began to give very similar experiences whilst meditating, quite like your mind leaving your body, strong vibrations, visuals and much more. My high would increase immensely with good meditations.
Though, I believe these medicines'(as I call them), will no longer be necessary after it helps to free, or open your mind. I believe these substances, and those alike can help people to better themselves as a human beings and reconnect with there true spirit. Give meditation a try and if you do, focus on relaxing, LETTING GO and releasing your fears. I think that's a good idea to slowly up the dosage by about .5g each time. Personally, I would only trip once a week at the most. gotta give some time to reflect on your experiences. Your tolerance will also be really shortly after eating them.
To prepare yourself physically, you could fast for lik 6 hours. But preferably a day or more. Be prepared mentally by making sure you have no obligations and nothing to worry about.

I still catch myself opening my eyes at times when I probably really shouldn't. When I seem to lose all perception of my body there is always this instinct driving me to confirm that my body is still there, lying on the lounge, breathing, working... But I'm doing better and better at it, practice
