"Ego loss" is sometimes used interchangeably with "ego death." Some people get very frightened because they feel as if they're dying, since everything they know and recognize about themselves just slips away, as they enter a state of virtual unconsciousness.

Like someone mentioned, the concept of "you" becomes abstract and essentially meaningless. When you experience ego loss, you are simply not there.

yeah i tried to fight it when i took my 10.45 of potent potent shrooms sheer unimaginable terror then i finally exhausted myself and let go and then i understood the reason for all things that happen but could only understand it when i was in ego death.

a very valuable experience.
before that my friend made me lie in bed and i could think of an image and then it would appear and then grow like freaky eyeballs on stalks and scared the bejesus out of me i puked and watched my shrooms turn into animals and swim around in the toilet. my fuzzy carpet had waves crashing on itself crazy crazy stuff.after ego death i saw my lifeless body as "i" floated then i "floated" to the closet and entered a different dimension crazy loss of reality is so intense its almost inexplicable.but then again i didnt know who i was just a swirling cloud of energy. very good experience.

I think land crab said it well.

For me it is very hard to deal with "the process", because I have to deal with any problems I have and more before becoming ego-less(no natural desire to think about my life, my well-being, and even my body. It is kind of like being dead I would imagine. SHamans call it the little death.
You generally have to be very comforitable with your self before you can experience the extacy of ego loss. You can remain there for some time, and you brain seems to work independant of your fractal memory and concept of body. Everything you know goes out the window, and then you begin to learn about this new "landscape".
That is where the greatest teachings/teachers are found.

Can it be all the opposite? I find the hell is fighting it. 




I suppose that everyone experiences things differently - but from descriptions it would seem that it's best to let it happen, than fight it - a bit like those waves of coming down from pills (which I loathe - its so icky!)
