I have a form of ego death.. but am planning on ressurecting my ego.. or otherwise bring it to life

I think our ego is always there, when we brush our teeth and make sure we don't have snot hanging out our noses before going out in the morning/night we are feeding ego, when we dress nice in order to appeal to our preferred gender we are feeding ego.  I think those types of egoic feelings are OK, but if we think we're better than another because of how we look/act then we're consumed with negative ego.

I think when we have ego death it puts life into perspective, we see what life is really worth and often realize that all the pomp isn't what matters, that we should strive to raise human consciousness up a notch to the best of our ability, some might do this with their jobs, through their spiritual practice, or it can be as simple as posting positive things online to the many troubled minds which fill this world. 

When I offer my energy to the universe I do so to see humankind move ahead a little bit.  I don't know my neighbors because I am super shy, but I know she's pregnant so I wish a strong baby for them and much happiness in their marriage, or my other neighbor had kidney stones so I wish speedy recovery for him, or even Asante who said he had to get his colon looked at, I visualize him in my minds eye being well.

This is how ego death has made me feel, I want to put positive thinking into the world.  I fail all the time because I am human and sometimes selfish, foolish, immature, but I pick myself up and keep moving forward by learning from my mistakes.

My patron is tied to death/rebirth (ego death).

Not necessarily, but there are few avenues in western society to go so deep that an ego death results. We're hardly a society of monks and saddhus.

Most trippers never had anything like an ego death though.

What everyone calls ego death for the most part is "egoloss", a peaceful process that merely is your ego dozing off to sleep rather than a death experience forcing a hard reset. Its lice comparing being waterboarded with splashing water in your face in the morning.

Not the same by a mile.

True ego death by its nature involves the completely unacceptable being forced on you until you succcumb into surrender.

I want this over with.

Everything I want and hope for is in the Transpersonal realm.

I need to cross the valley of the shadow of Ego death.

Bring it on.

You don't understand the process I'm in.

If you do psychedelic sessions, at first you get abstract trips, then biographic ones, processing your life, then you process the birth trauma, then finally you go through a series of Ego Death sequences of increasing surrender, then that clears for good and you are in the Transpersonal realm.

One of my main reasons for tripping the past 25 years has been to get into that transpersonal realm, to get the biographic, perinatal and ego death sequences behind me.

Its like a kundalini awakening, its a gruelling process but its going somewhere very worthwhile.

You don't physically die, thats the thing, instead you are psychologically and spiritually reborn within thisw lifetime.

That's something VERY big.

what do you imagine this : Transpersonal realm is like?

How do you imagine the state of being 'rebooted' sort to speak in this lifetime in your mature body/mind?

What are the pros/cons?

---

PRO: you're in a kind of enlightened state.
CON: the people around you show a more marked contrast with this.

Not that you'll be in fact quite the contrary, but if you are the most-something or the least-something in your world, you are surrounded by those who fall short in those regards. If you are the most honest guy in your surroundings, by contrast you are surrounded by crooks more so than you would be if you weren't at the aphex. The sun shines bright and hot, but it does so in a vacuum of space that is ice cold and absorbs all light withour reciprocating light or heat. Its not at all you look down on others, quite the contrary, but the communication gap grows.

Visit the spirit world, interact with spirits, perform magic, receive teachings from my spirits, wander through memories, do works of world magic, conceive plans for what to do with my life, hallucinate and synesthesia like theres no tomorrow -- and recently the ego death thing

Productivity in using the substance always yields positivity.

It took me 25 years of tripping to get this far. Ego Death does not grow on trees.

You can try meditation or holotropic breathwork.
