One True Ego Death?
    #14314641 - 04/18/11 11:11 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I can only say I have experienced ego death once, at least that I know of. My understanding of it is that when the ego dies the idea of the self ceases to exist, I couldn't comprehend that there is an "I" separate from the universe. That has happened once with 5 grams of mushrooms on my first trip. Ever since then there's been parts of the trip that I've transcended but nothing like before for example on high doses of salvia I've became different things such as a T-shirt a chair or a fence of myself. With LSD I died but "I" or my soul became some kind of crystal formation that I and my awareness existed through.

One hypothesis of mine is that after the first ego death the mind can adapt to exist without it, that just being aware is enough OR that that state of mind is the "True Self". I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it and I'm interested in reaching ego death again. So, what do you think?

When I was in my first year of college, I went through this phase where I did Salvia everyday for several months.  After a while, my trips began to take on a whole new meaning.  For example. I would all of a sudden morph into the ground or become one with a tree or something like that.  On LSD, I felt as if I transcended to another dimension, and I felt completely separated from myself.  Other times, I just sit there and question my own existence.

Although I think the brain adapts to ego death, I don't think it will become immune to it.  I just think it becomes OK with the fact that it's happening to make it more bearable.  It is certainly an interesting topic though.  I feel like I should do more research on it myself actually.

I had a similar experience the first time I smoked weed on 5g of mushrooms.  I forgot who I was and who everyone around me was even though they were my closest friends and my girlfriend.  I could remember one random relation I had with them - for instance I could remember that one of my friends (though I had no idea who he was or what his name was) took a class with a teacher I was taking a class with, but nothing else.  There were lots of other crazy things going on in my head, but I just wanted to say yeah I had a similar experience of dissociating from myself.

And I also have never had an experience quite like that again, even though I've done much higher doses of drugs since then.
