What insights shall the shrooms bring to life, when you are empty inside. You gave up major parts your personality for your familiylife. That is ok but now you have nothing left, so you need to rebuilt your personality at first. I suppose, the subconcious is overrated. It´s more about the things you do and experience in life from which a trip thrives. You will need to reestablish a happy and fullfilling life and after that, your trips for sure become vivid again. All the best wishes mate.

Brother. Most AWE moments in life do not need assistance from substance. It sounds to me you are looking for something. Something that cannot be found in a drug. I feel we should use these things as tools to enhance moments in life.
Listen to this:
____
The Perfect High
There once was a boy named Gimme-Some-Roy... He was nothin' like me or you, 'cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do.
As a kid, he sat in the cellar...sniffing airplane glue. And then he smoked banana peels, when that was the thing to do. He tried aspirin in Coca-Cola, he breathed helium on the sly, and his life became an endless search to find the perfect high.
But grass just made him wanna lay back and eat chocolate-chip pizza all night, and the great things he wrote when he was stoned looked like shit in the morning light. Speed made him wanna rap all day, reds laid him too far back, Cocaine-Rose was sweet to his nose, but the price nearly broke his back.
He tried PCP, he tried THC, but they never quite did the trick. Poppers nearly blew his heart, mushrooms made him sick. Acid made him see the light, but he couldn't remember it long. Hash was a little too weak, and smack was a lot too strong. Quaaludes made him stumble, booze just made him cry, Then he heard of a cat named Baba Fats who knew of the perfect high.
Now, Baba Fats was a hermit cat...lived high up in Nepal, High on a craggy mountain top, up a sheer and icy wall. "Well, hell!" says Roy, "I'm a healthy boy, and I'll crawl or climb or fly, Till I find that guru who'll give me the clue as to what's the perfect high."
So out and off goes Gimme-Some-Roy, to the land that knows no time, Up a trail no man could conquer, to a cliff no man could climb. For fourteen years he climbed that cliff...back down again he'd slide . . . He'd sit and cry, then climb some more, pursuing the perfect high.
Grinding his teeth, coughing blood, aching and shaking and weak, Starving and sore, bleeding and tore, he reaches the mountain peak. And his eyes blink red like a snow-blind wolf, and he snarls the snarl of a rat, As there in repose, and wearing no clothes, sits the god-like Baba Fats.
"What's happenin', Fats?" says Roy with joy, "I've come to state my biz . . . I hear you're hip to the perfect trip... Please tell me what it is. "For you can see," says Roy to he, "I'm about to die, So for my last ride, tell me, how can I achieve the perfect high?"
"Well, dog my cats!" says Baba Fats. "Another burned out soul, Who's lookin' for an alchemist to turn his trip to gold. It isn't in a dealer's stash, or on a druggist's shelf... Son, if you would find the perfect high, find it in yourself."
"Why, you jive mother-fucker!" says Roy, "I climbed through rain and sleet, I froze three fingers off my hands, and four toes off my feet! I braved the lair of the polar bear, I've tasted the maggot's kiss. Now, you tell me the high is in myself? What kinda shit is this?
My ears, before they froze off," says Roy, "had heard all kindsa crap; But I didn't climb for fourteen years to hear your sophomore rap. And I didn't climb up here to hear that the high is on the natch, So you tell me where the real stuff is, or I'll kill your guru ass!"
"Okay...okay," says Baba Fats, "You're forcin' it outta me... There is a land beyond the sun that's known as Zabolee. A wretched land of stone and sand, where snakes and buzzards scream, And in this devil's garden blooms the mystic Tzutzu tree.
Now, once every ten years it blooms one flower, as white as the Key West sky, And he who eats of the Tzutzu flower shall know the perfect high. For the rush comes on like a tidal wave...hits like the blazin' sun. And the high? It lasts forever, and the down don't never come.
But, Zabolee Land is ruled by a giant, who stands twelve cubits high, And with eyes of red in his hundred heads, he awaits the passer-by. And you must slay the red-eyed giant, and swim the river of slime, Where the mucous beasts await to feast on those who journey by. And if you slay the giant and beasts, and swim the slimy sea, There's a blood-drinking witch who sharpens her teeth as she guards the Tzutzu tree."
"Well, to hell with your witches and giants," says Roy, "To hell with the beasts of the sea-- Why, as long as the Tzutzu flower still blooms, hope still blooms for me." And with tears of joy in his sun-blind eyes, he slips the guru a five, And crawls back down the mountainside, pursuing the perfect high.
"Well, that is that," says Baba Fats, sitting back down on his stone, Facing another thousand years of talking to God, alone. "Yes, Lord, it's always the same...old men or bright-eyed youth... It's always easier to sell 'em some shit than it is to tell them the truth."

Thank you for that. I've been missing that awe and wonder from my life. Time to get it back

Well then, off to Burning Man, Ozora, PsyFi, Boom, Fusion, [many more]. Pack your stuff and travel for two years. Learn how to dive, climb, wingsuit glide. Gather some money and fly with a Mig 29 in Russia. Watch nortern lights, vulcanos and glaciers in Island. You are free. Not time to worry.

So 2017 is a year of new beginnings for me. My car died a couple of days ago and I gave my notice at work today. I'm giving them 2 months to find a replacement. Not worried though, I have work if I need it and looking to start my own company doing UV printing and 3d printing. Also be a middle man for manufacturing parts and a broker in the "budding" cannabis industry here in BC.
So new car, new job, new relationships. Shed the old skin and start anew!

JohnnieYen said: I turned 40 this year, over the last 3 years I've noticed that my trips are "meh" at best. I don't indulge too much, average 5-6 times per year but they have lost their magic. I don't get epiphanies, insights or even great visuals (other than smoked DMT). This past year I've been part of aya and san pedro ceremonies (both high doses), 3-4 tab acid trips, shrooms (5 grams) and none of them have stood out.
I get more out of smoking a joint and meditating or just being by myself driving. Since I am going through a divorce and relearning who I am I thought that psyches might give me some clarity but it has been the opposite. 2016 has been the most cloudy and depressing year of my life. Maybe the lesson is that I am done and can put the psychedelic chapter of my life to rest. It's been 20 years since my first shroom trip, back then every trip was full of wonder and magic. I've also introduced many to the wold of psyches and even turned some lives around. I took a 6 month break in 2015 to see if the magic would come back, but alas it did not.
With 2017 approaching I'm also looking at changing careers. Not happy at my current job which has been a blessing but right now feels like I'm shackled to this job for life. Looking forward to new relationships and experiences but I don't feel like psyches are going to play a part in this new chapter.
I will opine, that at a certain time, the time is outlasted. You may just need to leave the trips behind, remember them; their diffidence, dignity, hope, insight, relevancy and conjuring insight and value, keyword value.

Honestly, at this point its too hard to tell if the "magic" will ever come back. Maybe you just got bored with what the psychedelics do, or maybe they got bored with you. Good luck with your future endeavors. You cant use psychs, you need to let them use you. Thats my only advice.

It doesn't sound like the drugs are the problem. Give yourself some time to heal from the trauma of your divorce. things will equalize, then maybe dip your feet. Psychedelics don't solve problems, they amplify them.

i think 5-6 times a year is a lot of tripping and perhaps you need a year or 2 break completely

Thanks for the comments guys. I will be taking an extended break and maybe dip my feet again when the time feels right. I never expected psyches to solve my problems but they have given me insights before. Things are starting to line up though. I will be shopping for a new car this week and have a potential job opportunity as a dispensary supplier. Heal my head, heal my heart, and then maybe dip my toes in the water again.

I couldn't see how there'd be anything wrong with quitting them. It's an individual choice, and repeating anything over and over again becomes the same reinforced activity. I think the loss of its magic could be a good sign in some ways.
