My first flush is rapidly approaching and ive got multiple friends who are interested in having a psychedelic experience. When i try and tell them what its like I cannot put into words what the destruction of the ego is.
Can anyone describe it in a few sentences?

Unimaginable. I wish I could go back without any preconceptions. Tell them that. It's more beautiful if you aren't expecting anything.

In my opinion, ego death is a process and not an event. There are many levels of ego death and it all starts with that feeling of everything is new.

I'm going to get laughed out of the room for saying this...I've never tripped but I have experienced ego death. I had a heart procedure go sideways. I was under twilight which is an anesthetic but you are still somewhat awake and aware (or at least I was). Well something went wrong and the surgeon actually brought in my wife and daughter to say goodbye to me. I had completely accepted that I was going to die and readied myself for the journey. But at the last second, the surgeon, like a fucking boss, did some trick and pulled me through it. I still get choked up when I talk about it but it was definitely ego death. Not one sentence, I'm sorry.
-------------------- Anything I say on here is total bullshit...I'm really insecure and lie A LOT to fit in

To me, Ego death is when my entire personality fades and my mind is like a blank slate. All of the programmed responses that I've built up in my life go away. My facial expressions, my jokes, my stern warnings about things, my questions, all of little mental devices I count on in order to be "me" in any situation - they're all stripped away. As they fade and my raw, naked mind takes over, I see the absurdity of the whole thing. The games we play, I see the facade that I put on just to process any kind of thought or interaction.
That's how I see it -
Ego death is the process of observing all of things that make you who your are and realizing that you are no one in particular, deep down we are all the same person.

if yah don't know, then now yah know.
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

The first time I tripped I summed up the lesson of the trip with the sentence "I exist". I definitely didn't experience ego death but I was pretty struck by the similarity of our realizations.
-------------------- "lsdkiwi ignored every person that gave him advice that conflicted with what he wanted to hear.
