Let's talk about Ego death
Many spiritual practices have one thing in common and that is the Experience of a Temporary Ego death or Ego Dissolution.
To the common person with no spiritual interests, this can be felt as a state of Blissfulness and detachment from issues and day to day problems.
Let's have a more in-depth look at the process itself.
What is Ego Death?
Ego death is a representation of neurodetoxification of fossilized repression. It removes the friction of cycles within the nervous system.
This allows a higher pattern to be formed for some time while the repressions are suspended.
The Ego can be seen as a safety function or a mediator so we can adapt to an easier way of life given our social conditions.
Its function is quite necessary for our adaptive capabilities, but sometimes there are things that tend to clog its optimal performance.
These Things that clog its optimal Function are dissolved for a brief period of time when one experiences an Ego Death.
Although the statement Ego Death might notion a full Death or dissolution of the Ego, it is not quite so. It is only these resistance aspects that get dissolved.
Ego death is not the full disintegration of the Ego. Or the healthy Ego that we need to function in daily life. Wat dies is actually the part that holds on to the illusion of control, the part of us that thinks we are running the show, that we are in charge.
And that's where the bliss comes from, when we release the pressure of control, we are left with a state of ease, a state where we enjoy the natural flow of life.
Overall
What we make out of this is that behind the Term "Ego Death" stands a series of Bio-Chemical reactions within the body.
Some of these reactions may be induced by Taking different substances like "Drugs".
That is why some people relate different Drugs to Spiritual Experiences.
Although so, there are natural ways to experience these kinds of states that don't require Drugs or External stimuli. Which I don't recommend in the first place.
We also understand that the Experience is different for everyone. This means we can't really be sure what one can make of it.
We can also see that the Ego serves an important Role in our life. It gives us a distinct personal identity or a feeling of self, allowing us to share our uniqueness with the world.
As of the negatives that it brings, it fools us into becoming overly identified with our bodies, thoughts, and emotions.
I try to keep my content as Original as possible, also I never use up voting automation. If you get an up vote from me, then I love what you do !
Interesting stuff as always !!!! i like to use the words 'transcend ego' rather than 'ego death', as in reality that is what really happens. The ego never dies until we do, but it can become healthy if we transcend it and do find our real bliss through right conduct, selfless service, non violence etc

Thanks for the feedback. You are actually correct. Id rather go with your methodology on this.
Thanks for the feedback Alex!
That's an interesting take. If the ego dies in part, the part that is holding on to the illusion what is remaining in terms of the ego?
What can help to bring about this ego death?
Spiritual ego may comes in many ways. The ego also comes in different ways.
Ego death is a complete loss of subjective self-identity.
I really need my ego sometimes,.....i think for me it has worked both ways. But the Ego never dies.
Yes. Transcenscion of the ego is crucial to most of our development. Being willing to challenge who we are and be accountable for how we got here is integral to metaphysical, emotional, and psychological development.
I have the amazing fortunate opportunity to help people reach these states of being by activating their pineal glands via the optic nerve. It does not always challenge the ego, but I have never seen someone experience this technology who did not gain an expanded view of who they are and/or all that is. When we delve deep enough within understandings of our selves, it would be unusual not to auto-modify.
Neat Steemit page. Followed and upvoted.
Interesting. Ego is a powerful thing. It can be damaging when abused and mishandled and it can also be an amazing magical tool when understood and respected.
Interesting use of capital letters for the beginning of certain words. the Experience... it's not just any experience... it's THE Experience :) if you know what I mean ;) yes! interesting read, surely we do need a healthy ego and I appreciate the simplicity of your association between "ego death" and surrendering control.. will read more of your posts! many blessings.
