I came across this manual online. It is based on the Tibetan Book of the dead and written by Timothy Leary. Just one read through is enough to enlighten you and REALY enhance a trip. It also offers some really great tips that will prevent you from "freaking out" while tripping. I have read the whole thing two times and found the information to be priceless.
A manual based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead By Timothy Leary...
Enjoy.

I've had these 2 symptoms on an acid trip:
3. Body disintegrating or blown to atoms, called fire-sinking-into-air; 4. Pressure on head and ears, which Americans call rocket-launching-into-space
It was more like my head being ripped apart from the inside, extremely terrifying, but this book has some excellent tips for getting past the fear and getting to the destination.

What kinda BS is this? That's not ego-loss. Ego loss is when the you that is -you- starts unraveling, spreading out. When you cannot tell where the you that is you ends and everything else begins -- where the you-that-is-not-you that is everything begins -- when you realize that, as Bill Hicks put it, "we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, life is only a dream, and we are the imaginations of ourselves" ... then you're hitting ego-loss.
If what I just wrote doesn't make much sense, you probably haven't hit ego-loss.

> I was wondering if anybody had experienced those symptoms before.
I have had some odd ones while meditating... I often get visuals as my mind calms... the wall will get brighter, then darker, then brighter, etc... a bit of breathing and pattern morphing, but not much... I don't really notice them much anymore.
I used to have a lot of problems while sitting with breathing... I would "forget to breath", suddenly realizing that I wasn't breathing which would cause me to snap back to reality gasping for breath.
Of those listed, the only ones I have had are the tingling feeling and the trembling or shaking.

1. Bodily pressure, which the Tibetans call earth-sinking-into-water; 2. Clammy coldness, followed by feverish heat, which the Tibetans call water-sinking-into-fire; 3. Body disintegrating or blown to atoms, called fire-sinking-into-air; 4. Pressure on head and ears, which Americans call rocket-launching-into-space; 5. Tingling in extremities; 6. Feelings of body melting or flowing as if wax; 7. Nausea; 8. Trembling or shaking, beginning in pelvic regions and spreading up torso."
I've experienced all those symptoms before! and most of the other ones in book as well.

Shit, I've experienced all of those symptoms before when stone-cold sober.
But then, I've always had a strong feeling that I was a strange one...

All of the things are signs that the ego loss is CLOSE not that it is actually happening. When you attain the "clear light" there is no concept of hot/cold near/far self/others. All of these things are gone and all contact with what we call reality stops.

This is the best way to explain it "Liberation is the nervous system devoid of mental-conceptual activity. [Realization of the Voidness, the Unbecome, the Unborn, the Unmade, the Unformed, implies Buddhahood, Perfect Enlightenment - the state of the divine mind of the Buddha. It may be helpful to remember that this ancient doctrine is not in conflict with modern physics. The theoretical physicist and cosmologist, George Gamow, presented in 1950 a viewpoint which is close to the phenomenological experience described by the Tibetan lamas. If we imagine history running back in time, we inevitably come to the epoch of the "big squeeze" with all the galaxies, stars, atoms and atomic nuclei squeezed, so to speak, to a pulp. During that early stage of evolution, matter must have been dissociated into its elementary components. . . . We call this primordial mixture ylem. At this first point in the evolution of the present cycle, according to this first-rank physicist, there existed only the Unbecome, the Unborn, the Unformed. And this, according to astrophysicists, is the way it will end; the silent unity of the Unformed. The Tibetan Buddhists suggest that the uncluttered intellect can experience what astrophysics confirms. The Buddha Vairochana, the Dhyani Buddha of the Center, Manifester of Phenomena, is the highest path to enlightenment. As the source of all organic life, in him all things visible and invisible have their consummation and absorption. He is associated with the Central Realm of the Densely-Packed, i.e., the seed of all universal forces and things are densely packed together. This remarkable convergence of modern astrophysics and ancient lamaism demands no complicated explanation. The cosmological awareness- and awareness of every other natural process- is there in the cortex. You can confirm this preconceptual mystical knowledge by empirical observation and measurement, but it's all there inside your skull. Your neurons "know" because they are linked directly to the process, are part of it.] The mind in its conditioned state, that is to say, when limited to words and ego games, is continuously in thought- formation activity. The nervous system in a state of quiescence, alert, awake but not active is comparable to what Buddhists call the highest state of dhyana (deep meditation) when still united to a human body. The conscious recognition of the Clear Light induces an ecstatic condition of consciousness such as saints and mystics of the West have called illumination."
