Ego death means that you comprehend the limitations of your specific perspective, but at the same time are aware of your existence outside of that context. It is impossible to describe in words (ego tools) and can only be experienced. Everyone in this thread talking about how ego death is demonic are like a bunch of fish trying to lecture others on the nature of dry land. It's pretty laughable if you've ever experienced it for yourself. 

Fish: Dry land must be cool, wet, and moist!
Anon: Nope, it's not any of those those. 
Fish: It must be dark and fluid!
Anon: Nope. Dry land is different.
Fish: You say it isn't this, it isn't that, and it isn't a third thing, either! I think this 'dry land' stuff is just nonsense. It doesn't exist! And if it does exist it's evil!
Anon: lol ok

Why doesnt anon just describe dry land? Sure seems like Anon in this conversation has an understanding of what dry land isnt, but no idea of what it is.
That makes is a VERY good analogy of mayavadis.
Their understanding process of 'not this, not this' leads to what is being 'not like what you know' with no ability to describe what it IS like.

>Why doesnt anon just describe dry land?
Because dry land can't be explained with words. It needs to be experienced. If you've never experienced dryness, all your vocabulary centres around wetness and there are no words to describe dry land. Same thing with ego death. 

>Sure seems like Anon in this conversation has an understanding of what dry land isnt, but no idea of what it is.
As I said, dryness cannot be explained in wet terms. 

> no ability to describe what it IS like.
Oh, I have the ability but it won't mean anything to you until you experience it for yourself. Here is what ego death is like: nondual awareness of the self as a construct and also of the fundamental consciousness of the universe beneath the ego-layer. That means nothing to someone who's never experienced it before, so it's not useful. It's easier to just say, 'It's not this, it's not that.'

>Because dry land can't be explained with words. But it can and it has been, just not by those who advocate ego death.
>As I said, dryness cannot be explained in wet terms. 
But the very fact that you describe it as desirable IS explaining it. 
>I have the ability
So you are lying now, or you are lying at the beginning.
>nondual awareness of the self as a construct and also of the fundamental consciousness of the universe beneath the ego-layer
Yep.
And that is a temporary state, secondary to spiritual existence and ultimately a trap for atma.

>But the very fact that you describe it as desirable IS explaining it.

No, it's me explaining my desire for it. The finger that points at the moon is not the moon, my dude. 

>So you are lying now, or you are lying at the beginning.
?? There's no meaningful way to communicate ego death meaningfully in words and I didn't. You seem very excitable. 

>And that is a temporary state, secondary to spiritual existence and ultimately a trap for atma.
Yeah, you didn't understand a word.
gpt
>it's me explaining my desire for it.
No, you have been actively advocating as the best and only real path for all.
Again with the lies and contradictions from mayavadis.
>You seem very excitable.
Projection.
You are the one choosing to come into a thread started to discuss the problems and misconceptions given by advocates of ego death.
>You disagree with me so that means you didnt understand.
No, you are just wrong. It is not impossible to describe what you have already described. It is just not desired and rightfully so by those who have seen much further than your trap.
