It seems like you are already very much in the right mindset for the journey you are setting out on. You're looking at the old truths with a critical eye but not flushing it all down the drain just yet... That's a great place to be.

Endlessness's comments about religion are spot-on. Religion is a man made thing, and man is limited. We also have a bad habit of trying to control each other, so all religion is suspect due to that.

The great truths really are beyond description. On the other hand, there are many great life lessons that you can learn on this voyage that are very down to Earth and can be integrated into your daily life to make you a happier and more adaptable person.

There are a lot of threads here about religion, including several recent ones within the first couple pages of Open Discussion. You may find this stuff to really resonate with your present mindset.

It's great that you have already dipped your toe into the psychedelic pool... Best to start with something like LSD or mushrooms before trying DMT. I agree that you may get more useful lessons from Aya; on the other hand I have gained some very useful insights from my freebase experiences. It's all worth trying, and with the info at this site you can approach it all the right way.

Anyway... Welcome, and safe travels!
