Before I began dabbling in psychedelics I was firmly against anything dealing with spirituality. Religion made no sense to me, new-age ideas seemed hokey and for the weak, and life was nothing more to me than a jumble of atoms and interactions of molecules explainable through scientific and mathematical means. After even just prolonged exposure to marijuana my views on life drastically changed, let alone true psychedelics.
I could literally ramble on for hours about my change in perspectives--I've done it multiple times with friends who now treat me like some sort of spiritual teacher--but that's neither here nor there. Psychedelics are renown for their ability to increase one's "openness" and feelings of empathy and awareness. These effects can last anywhere from a few hours to years after one's experiences. Be happy that you're one of the lucky ones who feel such a powerful transformation. I believe, at some level, anyone who tries psychedelics hope for that.
If you want any information on some of my own personal ideas, check out my blog on the matter: http://whollyuniversal.wordpress.com/. If anything rings a bell or strikes true, feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss it. I know a ton of spiritual teachers and sources I can recommend to you that run along the same veins.

I cannot completely define it, but I have, to some degree, become aware of and convinced there is more to life and humanity than our physical bodies; that there exists some degree of spirituality in life.
Has anyone else been dealing with, or dealt, with this? Also, any tips on sorting through this apparent existential crisis I'm going through (a book to read maybe? lol)? I've been researching and talking about it with other people, trying to find out why I am feeling the way I am feeling. People immediately start pointing to religion as what I am experiencing but I feel like it's so much more than some book people deem as "holy". Just wanted to know if anyone else is like that out there.
Thanks!
do what you love at all times, no problems then
and yes, I am not my body :-) and also not my thoughts
try reading "the power of now"

This is an excellent book for anyone to read, especially those who have a newly discovered interest in the spiritual side of life, but it also has useful and practical information for people who don't care about the spiritual aspects and simply want to improve their overall quality of life. It's written by Eckhart Tolle, one of the most influential of today's spiritual leaders.

Well.. I have watched a great amount of hours upon hours of only youtube videos, hearing people talk. I have yet to find the time watching the man chained to the black rock, if you catch that refference..
I took the time reading your blogg, and what I found showed great promise..and I would reach out to you.. however I will come with a counter proposal, that I might give some refferences, atleast from what I read on your blogg.. though I could possibly recommend alot of other people, I have not come across one that has "gotten it all right", though I would recommend them anyway, and maybe attach a analisys of them.. ( I was not my intention to sound haughty)
Thank you for offering to share your knowledge by the way.. quite a rare thing it is, especially in this profession.. by so many names and still not one finite. Awaiting a response then..

Thanks for showing some support. You're right though, there's not a single theory out there that seems to have it all right. The truth is that I hope no one ever gets it completely right. If we found a finite meaning, some one real truth, it would remove all purpose from life and turn us into machines ever working towards that singular goal even if only subconsciously. The magic is in not knowing.
The correct answer is often the simplest: the meaning of life is, at its simplest, to experience as much of the universe as you can. Never stop questioning, never stop learning, never stop trying. Do that and you'll be happy.

Well, not necessarily. There are loads of life experiences that can make one sad, such as having a drug addiction. However, I mostly agree with your statement.
