I do not like the idea of "Becoming one with the Universe".

You should give DMT a go then. I had an experience with it that I feel was essentially becoming one with the Universe or "ego death" as many call it.

I was very inexperienced with psychedelics, having only eaten mushrooms prior (once) and for a long time was unable to really digest my DMT trip... I inhaled it, sat down, and exhaled. As soon as I did I was going.

The walls in my room became a see through yet reflective ethereal glass then slide apart from each other in the corner leaving... A portal? A gap or tear?

I could still hear the music but it was far away and slow. Reaching me from the past. I felt/saw the openness left where the corner of the room had been. I was traveling... Through the ether/time/dimension?

I felt intense excitement but that's not quite right... Acute anxiety with no panic? I didn't fear for myself I was calm or I would have paniced if that portion of my psychic/mental self or ego or mind was still left?

My eyes closed. I saw... The threads that make up the fabric of life? A collection of shifting shapes and objects and colors that I don't have the words for because they're past words that can be spoken on our physical level of... Creation? The Macro where our universe and time and reality is but a tiny part of the whole. Movements unreal regimented movements that we're logical and purposeful and meaning full. The music held on to one millisecond of one note for what felt like eternity. Traveling through time. And then it was gone. It was the last "real" thing to leave.

There was no bed. There was no music. There was no house or anything. I was there forever. I'm still there, everyone's still there because time doesn't go from start to finish like we think. We're souls piloting meat suits. Our souls are eternal, recycled and shared.

"I" wasn't even there. I can't even explain.

We're all part of the Entity. We're he/she/it/God/the whole of existence. We're eternity. Eternity is everything all at once. We're all connected or the same. I could be you and you could be me. All fingers on the same hand. Reincarnated infinitely symoltaniously.

Damn. Sorry. Never really tried to share this with anyone. Probs silly and convoluted.

Tldr your already one with the universe bro. Everyone is
