Ego death: A thread.

Ego death is when you lose all sense of your ego; sometimes you even forget who you are. This is the epitome of rebirth. Some people face ego death through meditation, some through psychedelic use. Ego death is often described as scary, and it is’

When you face ego death, you feel your entire being leave you. Sometimes people astral project when they go through this metamorphosis. If you’re trying to achieve ego death, and allow yourself to experience it; be sure you are mentally SOUND.

If you aren’t well-equipped to face the death of your ego, you could become seriously paranoid and lose touch with a part of reality; this is why I suggest achieving ego death through meditation. This makes it a process, and not a shortcut.

If you choose psychedelics, PLEASE be sure you are mentally sound. Some people abuse psychedelics, and while I do not condemn the use of them—I believe it’s healthier to meditate to see true ego death. I’m speaking from experience, here.

I took a form of psychedelics known to cause ego death and major breakthroughs. This psychedelic is potent, and woke me up to so much. Part of me wishes I had stuck with meditation, but I was in a very experimental and reckless part of my life.

When you face ego death, it can almost feel like you’re asleep. Fractals form, and you’re entranced in a state of euphoria. You forget what you look like, as well as your sense of self. You feel more connected with earth, and nature itself as opposed to humanity-

and the vanity that humanity holds with it. You see yourself for what you are; a product of nature, space, and time. You are but another animal roaming this earth; just like the deer, mice, fish, and insects. You are a living, breathing creature, not simply a human.

If you are considering meditation to achieve ego death, OR psychedelics to achieve ego death, please do your research and have a trip-sitter. It’s so important to be somewhere that you’re safe, and to practice grounding mechanisms so that your mind can naturally protect itself.

I hope this thread helped, and if you’ve ever experienced ego death, feel free to reply with your story!

I’ve faced it twoce, the first time I entered the sacred realm, and saw so many shapes and colors. I was in a college lecture room, watching a projector showing people walking in times square. I only saw from the calf down, business pants; loafers, heels, and skirts flowing-

Twice*

It was Spirit telling me to live harmoniously in the bustling city that is earth. The second time I began to feel my soul escape my body. I woke up, and kept asking “who am I? Where are we?” I knew who everyone else in the room was but myself. A truly scary experience.

So my first experience was warm and welcoming, the second one was scary and confusing.
