Why couldn't I just let go?

So last night I had the most profound spiritual experience with hallucinogens I've had so far. I took 13 HBW seeds and 500 mg of DXM. The DXM came on quicker than I expected, but the HBWS quickly caught up. Despite taking an anti motion-sickness pill, I still felt nauseated. After a while I had a feeling to vomit, but it was somehow more than that. I new it was my ego that needed to be purged, so I went to the toilet to try and purge myself, but couldn't. I tried again a little later but still couldn't, so to help with the nausea I forced myself to vomit, but still didn't let go of my ego. I kept telling myself "Let go! Everything is going to be fine! Just let go!" I laid down, the urge to vomit was gone, but was replaced with a new urge to let go of myself, to give control over to the universe. I could feel my ego trying to jump out of my chest, like it had to fly away. I was petting my arm and talking to my ego like it was a kitty saying "Kitty (ego) dosen't have to go if kitty doesn't want to" over and over again. I even tried to cut the strings of my ego my going through all my arrogant habits and admitting to myself that I am wrong.
All in all I wasn't able to let go, truly let go. As much as I wanted to. I couldn't give myself up. But I have an understanding now about myself, and maybe I'll be able to let go next time.
Sorry about the long rant, feel free to not read

It doesn't really have much to do with each other, just at first I thought it might be the way to let go, kinda like the purging that shamans mention with ayahuasca. I've read a couple of trip reports about it and thought it would help.
Also I was tripping, how much sense is it really supposed to make?

to me when i think of purging in a shamanistic since i think of fasting, personal sacrifice, personal journey, determination, and an open mind....
if you are really looking to break your ego, try a hero dose of cubes.... or ayahuasca/pharmauasca.... but if you want it to be real in a shamanistic since.... try fasting for a day or 2 before you trip.. do something productive involving lots of manual labor (set up a garden by hand, build something)... make yourself feel as though you have EARNED the trip.. then blast off as hard as you can (while keeping your safety in mind) and watch your ego melt off.

I was thinking of trying ayahuasca in the near future. But I might also try the hard work thing as well, thanks

IMO, use non synthetic means of achieving the results you are after. As stated above, go for some cubes....maybe 7 grams.

You won't be able to let go until you relinquish the want to let go. Wanting and forcing yourself to let go is only giving you one more thing to grasp onto.
It's happened to me before. Instead of forcing yourself to let go, just be. Try meditating, focusing on the visuals, or absorbing yourself in some sort of activity (mine is usually thinking about philosophical/psychological concepts-sometimes I draw or dance).

Don't force it. You say you told your ego it didn't have to go if it didn't want to, but you continued to try to make it. When the times come, it'll happen.

I lol'd. There's nothing wrong with a little self love, you're just taking it above and beyond expectations. ...
