Well for one thing, it helps if you learn to post in the Shroomery properly, as opposed to always making 3-4 posts in a row Just use the Edit button and edit your last post, if new ideas pop in. As far as I'm concerned, the only "proof" you need to provide, is to actually show up and partake. Or show up at the festivals, be present there and contribute your energy and vibes to the common good. What does decidedly NOT work is trying to figure things out in your head, overthinking stuff from books and forums, etc.
You can find the meaning in the loving embrace of a woman you love, in the wonderous visions of a psychedelic you just took with people that mean something to you, and I'm sure in many other ways that I personally am not familiar with. For me personally, the psychedelics, in a right context, usually some sort of open, group experience, seem to bring on the magic. It's not that they make the magic happen, as much as give you eyes to see the magic that's always been there.
In just the same way, microscopes don't create the bacteria, they just shows that level of reality to you, but it's always been there, and in fact you're made of it. Try now and imagine some pre-microscope pre-biology dude somewhere, waiting for Jesus to magically show him a new level of reality, where everything becomes much more active, meaningful, deep and fascinating. He sits there mumbling and reciting Scripture verses, all the while sitting on billions of bacteria that are fucking, multiplying, mutating, evolving, fighting off viruses and so forth, on the chair he's waiting on, on the book he's reading, on the dude's skin and inside the very dude himself. With closed enough eyes, everything seems dead and boring. Look through the right tool and perspective, and the world becomes absolutely incredible.
The universe is already made miraculous. Just strap on the proper glasses and whoo boy, you're in for a ride 
No need to prove yourself in any way, other than partake and receive the vision. We are part of the planet in the exact same way as your cells are part of you. Do your muscle or eyeball cells need to "prove themselves" before you give them nutrients and thermal comfort? Last I checked, by their very existence, they are right, complete and functional. They get everything they ask for (via some sort of clear signal) that you are able to provide.
In this universe, on this planet, you are a cell. Ask, signal what you need and it shall be given to you, as it is given to us all. Trip about it, ask the   to explain that level of reality to you, and I doubt they will hold back the info. But you do have to partake and ask. It's the difference between looking through a real microscope with your own eyes, or seeing bacteria illustrations in a book. Not quite the same thing.

There is and it's been happening since the Big Bang. The only question is are you looking through the microscope, to be aware of those other levels of how things work, or are you sitting in a room completely unaware what it's made of, what you're made of, and how it all comes together? We are monkeys evolving into space travelers. We are primates learning to coexist on this amazing blue city in the sky. We're part of such an incredible process, the Grand Symphony, the Great Fractal, that involved galaxies, the Big Bang, string theory, bacteria, viruses, evolution, fucking, mating, resonance, music, male-female attraction, it's absolutely impossible to even express all at once. All we can do is have huge earth rocking festivals, trip, dance, hug, make love, celebrate and congregate joyously, giving some sense to the universe that yes, we understand how awesome it all is and thanks for putting us here to be part of it.
I mean some of us do that. Others stay in cities and have cubicle jobs and drink coffee and watch TV and go to church on Sunday 
That's why I find this idea of Rapture quite insulting. Not to me, but to the universe. It's a mindset that says you don't like what's happening right now. That the universe is not good as it is, it's not interesting, challenging or fascinating enough for you, and you wish for a better one, some time in the future. That future is here. It's already been here. You may not be aware of it if you're busy with other things (like Jesus books for instance, or making more money) but it's 100% here and you will not see it until you specifically look that way.
