I understand where you are. In my case, 40 years old, happily married with kids, and I still had this lack of purpose. Being completely honest with you, spirituality totally changed my life. I tried lots of paths, stoicism, Buddhism, but Christianism was the answer for me. I really hope you find your way!

That’s pretty nuts. This could have been written by me.

At the end of my psychedelic journeys I found a deep abyss of meaninglessness and hopelessness. I think it was DPDR, but it shook me to my core. Ram Dass and Alan Watts spoke to me profoundly through psychedelics, but from a place of suicidal hopelessness Jesus was the only idea that redeemed this existence by reframing it as an opportunity to learn to love (albeit imperfectly).
