And while the trips were great and very visual/euphoric I haven’t really got any deep insight or lifechanging moments. I did these trips alone at my house and didn’t get the experience of thoughts racing like a lot of people describe, my mind is actually quite still. Is the problem that I simply need to take more shrooms?
Hi, You may be particularly lucky and well adjusted! deep insights are a quagmire of delusion more times than not.
Well that’s disappointing. What are we taking shrooms for if the insights are mostly delusions?
Because we integrate those faux-realities with our subjective reality and get an enhanced perspective. The changes from tripping sink in afterwards generally, rather than arriving as an epiphany.

in my current afterglow, as I reach for my coffee, it is as if a red bird has waved his wings and picked up the cup with feathers to my lips.
this does not mean I am an enlightened red bird - nor will I necessarily wing my cup to my face ever again, nor do I remember ever having seen that ever before.
it was an enhanced impression among millions of fleeting - body centric - yet open minded impressions that I experience when stoned. I love the sheer poetry of existence more when stoned or after being stoned and having some afterglow.
if I were to cling to the impressions and try to force others to believe stoned out theories it would be a pain in the neck.

Highly suggest this book.
Not all trips are going to "enlighten" you. Keep at it. Keep working on yourself where you need to. Remain open to each trip as you take it. And, like suggested, Take a higher dose.
In terms of "average" strength cubes, anything under 2.5g (25g fresh) can be very therapeutic and give some deep personal insight. But if you want something more reality shaking, you're going to generally want to dose between 3.5 and 5g dry (35-50g wet) (assuming average strength cubes).
