Well, I'm only about a year ahead of you, so I don't know about the "seasoned" bit, but here goes.

You've discovered you've been lied to about just about everything and you're looking for the truth. What you need to keep in mind is that you are still being lied to about a lot of stuff and you need to be careful about what you take on board. In order to validate what you are learning, you need to seek out real experience. I won't specify what this experience should be, your intuition will lead you there. Good luck!
