i like the idea of temporarily softening your ego as often as possible with psychs and taking breaks to regain energy to consistently and radically use an ego softening tool like mdma or lsd often to bring about more positivity and empathy for others

I just figured out how to do the quote thing

I'm stupid.

I think you are right about softly breaking the ego more regularly. Soft reset.

I don't have experience with that, but humans are notorious for needing constant remindres.

A little nudge to break things up, without totally obliterating them.

Sounds reasonable.

Those ephemeral spasms of infinity, in suspended animation, born across a boundless ether of existential misery aloft a revelry (of awe) for the abhorrently sublime.

Mescaline is good for empathy and human connection. Maybe a mix between alcohol, in it's ability to promote inhabition, and MDMA, in it's ability to feel warmth towards others.

I always argue it's never ego death, but ego vacation.

You return to a baseline of awareness, and you have to have a steady, constant context to even recall your trip.

That being your memory, but YOU have to be present to experience that in the first place.

You might overcome some deep rooted psychological/subconscious issues from a trip, but I'd assert your baseline awareness isn't permanently altered with a loss of sense of self at all. You just might not be able to tolerate certain activities or situations the same as before, because pyshcs tend to expand your awareness. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, as they say.

mdma is the best for losing your ego in a positive sense
