Okay yes but that's still the only part that was a "belief" and I said that it was a belief. It really had nothing to do with the rest of what I wrote either. I simply was pointing out that a lot of people think this is your true self I even said it wasn't proven. Everything else I said though was pretty universal but still wasn't me explaining it in detail. It's okay for the misunderstanding.
What ego death actually is cannot ever be explained I was just giving an outline. Ego is the self not the awareness beneath the self and that's really basically all I was saying. So no one can really tell you what that is like. Just like how simply forgetting who you are does not entail ego death it is simply a symptom of ego death.

I always felt ego dissolution as the loss of the sense of who you are or your experiences. Like they are a dream or memory that you cannot relate to anymore on any level. Its like you are aware of being human but not having the sense of self more of an open, connected-ness.
Ego death was like I was no longer human or alive for that matter. While experiencing ego death I'm usually on my back with my eyes closed off in another world, or eyes open and no reality just hallucinations.
I probably dont know what Im talking about hahah this is just from personal experience. I like to read about the different theories behind it but I find the real evidence is in personal experience.

Yeah man. I'm sorry about that. I agree with what you're saying. I don't know why I misunderstood it so badly.

Everytime I'm having a deeper trip than ever before, I feel I've never really experienced ego death before, and that this time I actually experienced it.
I think there is a practically unlimmited (at least for us humans) degree of which we can experience ego death. At some point it just becomes hard to understand/remember that feeling when we are back.
-------------------- It doesn't matter whether you are christian, muslim, jew, atheist or ascribe to any other belief-system. It doesn't matter whether you look out to the stars, or under a microscope to the tiniest of particles. It doesn't even matter what kind of practice you perform to reach your goal. Because if you keep looking, everything eventually leads to the same truth, like a fractal that contains itself in every direction you take it. You will find yourself. I love you. Blatant self-advertisement.

I agree with this. I don't think the whole thing just hits it's limit once ego death has officially occurred. That's just where it begins
