well basically starting over, when I had the most devestating trip of ego loss ever it was not fun. I almost felt like how God must of felt. Its like I just woke up, in pitch black. Noone around, No universe or life has been created. Just lonelyness and not knowing what to do or how to do it. Was definetly not very fun. that only lasted about half an hour though.

Their are always very different varations of ego loss, I have had great trips with ego loss, but the trip posted above was definetly the most extreme feeling i've ever had in that area.

The smart ass answer to your question is
"who would be asking?" if it really was the destruction of your ego.

Self constantly changes, but we are usually too asleep to notice
this ongoing activity and therefore experience the world as more solid...than "it" is...

By the way Ted Bundy was a nut and a fool, why quote him?
Power over others does not make one a God...it just shows
that one's another deluded person like all the dictators of history.
The need for this feeling of "power" comes from insecurity.

I think the ego in this sense means your identity, your sense of self. So i think it means losing all sense of self.

there is no line. it can happen any number of ways. once yu understand how your ego works ou can start to let it drift. meditation is key for trying to understand the prosses of ego ditachment. not that phychadelics dont help mind you. but you have to go about it in a pure mind set.


i have had my ego destroyed by
rippping, swirling, washing, floating

often times it will even happen to me as i just take a mient to gaze off. suddlty im lost in the silly fractalness of it all and down the tube i go, only to pop right back into "me" space again.

Loss of connection with one's inner self/being, obliteration of identity, smashing the foundations of who were are and leaving it behind. Transcendence to a higher frequency of thought, one reality left behind and another reality born. Lost in the depths of one's mind, sinking to the bottom. Spiritually separated from oneself, lost within uncharted regions of the human psyche beyond ego and identity = ego death.

I don't know if anyone can just separate from their ego at free will. Not to the extent I'm referring to at least (heavy spiritual separation from oneself, the kind induced by psychedelics). There are many levels and degrees of what you could call "ego death", the kind brought on by mystical experience being the highest degree. I don't think that someone could just snap into the dimension whenever they chose to, unless you a master of meditation, shamanism, etc.

It is interesting actually, there are some out there that train for the longest time through meditation and mental exercises to be able to attain a higher state of being naturally, and not by chemical means. (Such as Hindu Holymen, I believe.)

Whether they truly reach this state they train to achieve, I don't know....

ZeeMox said:That's something that fascinates me. I know people that claim to have done enough hallucinogenic drugs to be able to activate small trip-like elements at will. I wonder if this is simply the state that certain religious individuals obtain through natural mind mastery, and if getting there through such means would be more of a trek and less of a ride.



I think it would be more of a trek (to train oneself to induce states of egolessness through meditative practices) because a trek is ignited internally. A 'ride', or a hallucinogenic trip, can bring one to states of egolessness externally. It would seem the former requires more focus and initiative than the latter; and perhaps that's true. But this doesn't detract from the significance or validity of psychedelic-induced egolessness. Great question...
