In my experience, ego death is your mind separating from your body through an intense psychedelic experience. This sounds very strange if you have never experienced it.
I have always been an atheist and kept my faith in the factual (and still a little bit :), but after experiencing ego death or death during a psychedelic trip, I felt a temporary touch with the infinite universe and non-duality, where my mind literally detached from my body.
Β It is an indescribable feeling, but every cell of my body filled with love, and it was as if I could temporarily describe every thought and experience as the complete truth.
This felt like what I had been searching for my whole life, this is the truth.
Ego death gives you what you are looking for: an awesome experience, more meaning in your life, letting go of fears and insecurities, and entering and improving your new life as a reborn person.
If you are interested in doing this, do it properly and under professional guidance as I did, because otherwise you probably won't achieve the desired result if that is what you are looking for.
Greetzz and love to all who are seeking more meaning to their lives x
My first ego death during a psychedelic trip went as follows....
The thought that I existed because I was occupied with the thought that I existed prevented the surrender to ego death. It was a repetition of thoughts in my head that went as follows: "I think, therefore I exist. I exist, therefore I can think that I exist. So if I can think that I exist, then I really do exist, right? Is it real that I exist?" Many variations of these sentences haunted my mind while it suddenly seemed as if I were standing next to my own bed, but physically I was really lying in bed. My alternative self told me that everything would be fine to reassure me, only my alternative self had to hear that from another alternative self, and that ad infinity of alternative selves, until the circle was complete and I was in fact telling the alternative selves that everything would be fine, and at that moment the alternative self walked out of the room, or so it felt, and after that I ended up in ego death.
How ego death feels exactly and what it does is difficult to explain in words. It seems as if your little ego, which needs and wants everything, no longer exists, and that the boundaries between me as an individual and the universe have vanished. It is difficult to realize where my human exterior ceases to exist. Everything is connected. During an ego death, the word contentment applies to me, since the ego wants nothing.
In fact, everything is connected because everything influences everything else. Our environment partly determines how we behave and what we think. In daily life, we see ourselves as individuals and separate from the rest. We need this separation to survive and to meet our basic needs. Sometimes we take this too far, with all the resulting consequences, and then an experience like ego death can show you the other side of the story, allowing you to be more balanced in normal life.
Okay, sounds really cool to experience. Nice to read that they express themselves in all sorts of different forms; I'm curious if they also express themselves in multiple ways per individual, but there's only one way to find out π
For me, at least, it was different from the previous trips we had taken; it felt as if we had completed a ritual that every human being must go through to arrive at the truth. Β
Every trip is different, and every process someone goes through is different. But losing the ego often has the greatest impact on a person's future life. Therefore, trip levels 4 and 5 are most suitable for this. However, it is often wise not to go beyond trip level 3 or 4 on the first trip.
