For context: I am a complete skeptic. For 17 years I've walked this Earth as a man of science alone. Since turning 18 alot has changed. Alot that I can't explain. I really need assistance here

So,I've been prescribed promethazine 25 mg for a little over a year.

I've never really stuck at taking them, and usually refused to sleep if I was forced to take them.

Recently, I've stopped smoking weed. I've been a chronic smoker, stoned for two years straight.

I started to take my promethazine and when I lay back, close my eyes, and start to relax my body, it's like my body starts getting electric.

I noticed tightness between my eyebrows, as if a muscle is being used. The electricity starts in my thighs, and works its way through my body rather fast.

I then feel myself being essentially pulled from my body, the stickiness of my energy trying to stay and not leave my body.

Once I'm out I tend to black out. It becomes overwhelming.

Sometimes I can become hyper aware of it, looking around and stuff. When this happens, I always put my hands up to my face and I see these purple energy outlines of my hands and forearms.

I get the sense I am somewhere else, like physically. I know I'm not in my bed anymore.

Once I become overly aware of it I open my eyes, but nothing gets blurry for me, it's like remembering every aspect of your dream you had a second ago and never forgetting it.

Sorry I'm typing this out on my phone so it's a bit messy.

I'm able to replicate the electricity feeling whenever, just close my eyes, and focus on between my eyebrows. But it gets too much and I start twitching a lot and it's overwhelming.

What the hell is going on

I've thought about religion this way for a long time now, and it's kind of isolating because nobody I know really gets it. Like, I keep wondering if there are other people out there who see it the same.

All these different religions, they seem to me like ways people try to make sense of some bigger force or something divine. Not that any one is totally wrong, but they get shaped by whatever time period or culture is around. It's almost as if everyone is pointing at the same thing but using their own words or stories to describe it. I mean, that makes sense in a way, right.

The idea that sticks with me the most involves time and how beliefs change. I believe there's this kind of god figure that's prominent in each era of human history. And souls, they come back in different times through reincarnation. So when you're born into a certain period, you just naturally connect to whatever version of the divine is big then.

For instance, if someone got reborn way back in ancient times, theyd probably end up following those old gods because that's how people understood everything spiritual. Now, in our time, it could be Christianity or Islam, or even just some kind of general spirituality, or atheism too. That search for meaning shifts around. It feels like religions arent really fighting each other but more like they're all part of this ongoing way humans try to grasp something huge that we cant ever fully get.

This belief, it doesn't even feel like something I came up with. It's more like I've always known it inside, even if theres no way to prove it or anything. That part gets a bit messy for me to explain.

Honestly, I'd like to hear if anyone else has ideas like this about religion, or maybe knows some philosophies that line up with it somehow. It seems like there might be traditions out there that touch on similar stuff, but I'm not totally sure.

Edit: Another thing, with the current state of the world, I've been thinking a lot about the fall of the Roman empire. It seems to be a cyclical thing. The fall of the Roman empire, time comes where other religions are discovered, the lesser known gods. Then the rose of Christianity.

It's like ot had it's time but due to its own actions has now brought it's fall in a way similar to the Romans.

What if every religion is humanity translating the same divine force
