Ego death
    #21832361 - 06/20/15 01:16 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I've heard of this proclaimed "ego death" from mushroom trips.
Does it last forever, or just until the end of the trip?
If you already have low self esteem, how much more ego can honestly be destroyed?


I haven't worked on my music whatsoever in the past few months, since I quit messing with psychedelics. I'm not even in the mood to listen to it. :stoned:

your ego comes back after the trip, although hopefully a little more transparent.

Low self esteem is an effect of ego. If you have no ego, you will not have low self esteem because there wont be a separate self to esteem. So a great deal of ego can be destroyed even if you have low self esteem.

"Ego" in this sense has nothing to do with self esteem, pride, etc. When talking about ego death or more appropriately, ego dissolution, ego refers to the part of the psyche that identifies you as you. You as a distinct and separate entity from everything around you.

Ego dissolution does not last forever, hence why "dissolution" is a much better term to use than "death."

I think that most people use the term "ego death" because when it happens, your ego tries to save itself by convincing you that you're dying. Needless to say it can be an utterly terrifying experience for many people.
