that's whats fucked up about it. I am not religious at all. Yet, what I experienced was on a spiritual level with real changes.

it's crazy how common the themes are. did you hear extra-terrestrials? Like I literally heard a thought broadcasted from somewhere not on earth with the message "we aren't from earth but we are gonna help you out. clean your fucking room. move your computer to living room. get your shit together"

.... needless to say that was a big turning point

I haven't done mushrooms since and I'm kinda scared to experience the whole thing again.

People joke about fatuous "meaning of life" insights. But in my experience, you often do see "the big picture" of your life, and of everything. However, it's hard to remember stuff like that. And it fades pretty quickly, back into the slog of day-to-day life. I also got that from doing work with est/Landmark, NLP, Tony Robbins, etc. Not that they encourage the use of psychedelics ;)

I'm reminded of Tool's "Rosetta Stoned".[0,1]

    ...
    10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes
    ...
    When a flaming stealth banana split the sky
    ...
    Then the X-Files being
    ...
    Did a slow-mo Matrix descent
    Outta the butt end of the banana vessel
    And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw
    ...
    He said, "You are the chosen one
    The one who will deliver the message
    A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
    And a warning for those who do not."
    ...
    See, they took me by the hand
    And invited me right in
    Then they showed me something
    I don't even know where to begin
    ...
    Can't remember what they said
    ...
    Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position
    Such a heavy burden now to be the one
    Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending
    To write it down for all the world to see
    But I forgot my pen
    ...

Nope, I didn't hear voices. I had some auditory hallucinations though. It was mostly overwhelmingly positive and very spiritual to the point of making me cry.

yeah they were auditory hallucinations.

well, thanks to them, i have got some of my life back in order.

it could be that the mushroom trip creates a dissociation from internal thoughts and perceptions of the ego vs ego-less self, so you 'hear' your own thoughts.
