Progression with LSD, harsh revelations.

I've been revisiting some of my LSD headspaces recently after a fairly long hiatus. I've had four considerably potent doses and two mild doses all spread 2 weeks apart.
What I've found though is I don't like many facets of my life anymore. My work seems pointless and I've not been searching for and actively enjoying adventure and fulfillment that makes life special.
It's hard lessons and there's not really any easy answers for me right now.
Peeling open that 3rd eye isn't always fun.

I feel you, brother. Time for change has come. Now you know which way to go.

I don't really know what to do, just that I must do something.
There are signs that point from the path I am on, but none of them say where they go... just that they aren't going where I know I am headed now.

LSD has not given you new thoughts it has just exposed what your subconscious already knew. I assume you probably felt as though something was missing in your life? slight depression or anxiety prior to you LSD use. LSD has just allowed you to see why you were feeling this way, brought out suppressed emotions from the subconscious.
Its definitely not easy but you need to take some time now to examine your position, what can you do differently? We have all been conditioned by capitalist society since birth with a set of values and achievements which once acquired will make you feel happy. This is because people profit off your consumption. Perhaps deep down you know having that a nice car or big house or fancy job and prestigious position will not make you any happier. Happiness comes from within not externally. Spending your life trying to achieve these goals is the source of all suffering. You will never be satisfied, have you ever wanted something so badly and then when you had it, it was no longer good enough you needed the next better thing??
If i were you i would take some time to read up on Zen Buddhism (its not a religion but a philosophy) Meditate, focus massively on your health, a Documentary on Netflix called 'what the health' is a good start. Foster genuine relationships with people who you enjoy being with on a deeper level, not because ether party benefits from one another.
I would continue your phyc use, perhaps try some mushrooms they tend to be more introspective. don't over do it and take time to integrate and learn from the insights you have. Good luck, your on a new path now, form your own opinions through research and experience don't accept something without being able to rationally come to the same conclusion yourslef.

we are seeing a lot of that right now, covid society is in suspension, and it is OK to pause, reflect, and come out of it without any obvious change. At this time, I regard psychedelic as part of basic hygiene. Use enough to activate your world a little, and let yourself be bored.
you can take time to look at things in ways which, in your busy life, you could never consider before.
Mind expanding does not always involve a change of direction or any increase of power, sometimes it is just about making space for what already is.

Thanks for your replies guys. I'll ponder the question some more, whilst keeping in mind some humility and gratitude. Some days it's easy to see it all as pointless, so easy to forget the things that have been forged through fire and sweat.
It's not the first time I've come to a cross roads in life and even without the LSD as a catalyst I might still be having the similar thoughts and feelings as I move through middle age.
Perspective is a funny thing. Shifting daily like sands in a desert, revealing new things and covering old.
