Ego death is the next most profoundly (you YOUR NOT WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE) INTENSE KIND OF DEATH NEXT TO ACTUAL DEATH.
I had an Ego Death experience last night actually. I was starting to feel like I had too much of the chocolate bar and then randomly my roommate puts V For Vendetta on and I had to leave the room while the intro to the movie was in because I had started sweating and I kept having these inner thoughts of; "I shouldn't have eaten the whole thing." and "Why would he put this on?" After i left the room I kept going from trying to go with the flow of the trip and be happy on my bed but then those bad trip thoughts came back and it fucked with me the whole rest of the ride. Hardly was able to sleep at all today.
What if the point of life is to overcome your ego thus meaning the “Devil” bad actions so that we can be a better reincarnated beins ? It’s like you have to Overcome your ego so you can learn yourself and others as a wholeness. There is no “I” because we are all 1. Your ego is not bad it’s part of your energy source. Batteries have negative and positive energy. It’s how you train your ego.
My ego death was me trapped in a room going over a story where I was both the character, writer and narrator at the same time. That's the only logical way I've found to explain it. It was just too weird. It started when I decided to take a shower, I take either LSD or Shrooms once a year, but this one time I got something stronger than I thought it was, same dosage as always, never had any problems before. So when I got into the shower, I remember seeing my reflection on the mirror laughing at me. I continued. got a literal golden shower that wasn't piss after I turned the faucet on, felt really good from the temperature of the water… then boom. I'm sitting on my bed, I'm writing a story in a book in the air and I'm at the same time writing, narrating and being the guy the story was written about. And it was a whole lot of fucking truths about myself but weaved into a story. That went on for what I believed to be many, many hours. Finally managed to drink some water, came back to the same thing… that continued, I thought it would never end and I was debating what was real and what was not. It finally started to end when my dog licked me out of nowhere. At that lick, I was brought back at bits at a time.
Unfortunately, both methods are illegal as shit where I live, that explains the different dosage from the blotter amount I was used to consuming. Sure was a tremendous and scary as fuck trip, when it ended I was very sweaty and petting my dog. Took a shower right after, felt good. Gave me time inside my head to figure out some stuff, but I left with more questions than answers.
This year I ate a mushroom that showed me flashes of last year. But I never lost control like last year. It just told me what was up. And it was tremendously enjoyable so far.
Overthinking has been my friend my entire life, then my ego died.
