this. Ego death isn't real, I've meditated on 7 grams of psilocybin and I can say that all it does after is enhance my spirituality and clear out useless clutter in my mind day to day. Ego death is you allowing the experience to control you after it, it's almost like self induced PTSD. A fear of oneself, a fear of responsibility. In other words, tripping or meditating to a point of being selfless is just cope to not have to contribute in the modern world. Once 2nd earth comes into fruition, and all jobs are humanitarian based on the evolution and furthering of humankind - we'll see how many people feel like they don't have an ego kek. It's purely a response to living in a shit world, of course there are people that want to be egoless in a world that equates success to psychopathy. It's a way of subconsciously fighting against the system. Mediating for self actualization and vizualation purposed is based. Mushrooms in very conservative instances is also based as well. But self actualization should be the end goal, not ego death. It's another just Jewish trick.

There's no relationship with drugs and enlightenment, drugs are just another delusion to fall into so that you waste time not devoting yourself to actual practice and figuring out what the ego is, how it operates, what it wants, and finally you suspect that it's not you but a totally separate entity living its life through you.

I only bring up drugs because Terrance McKenna is the one who popularized the term ego death. It was always self actualization until he worked his Jewish magick. I agree drugs aren't needed at all, I just gave that example to show that I've done literally everything (((they))) say causes ego death - and yet, here I am with self, an actualized soul and happier than I've been in years. Ego death is a meme used to demoralize people from self actualization.

It's just not related to drug-use at all, the ego death you experience with drugs is not authentic. And the term ego and killing the ego is ancient.

I don't really do drugs but the ego death I felt on trying weed was certainly very, can't put my finger on it, forced, artificial, unwholesome. It was like an imitation of happiness inside of me that I enjoyed in the moment but felt fairly bad after.
Would still like to take some stronger hallucinogens sometime.
