useless. made me drop out of college and sell all my crypto. Unless you consider that a good thing?

Whats an ego death?

That doesn't exist at all. Stop larping.

is Astro really dead?

Very useful! It allows you to stop taking life too seriously. I recommend the Mckenna heroic dose experience, 5g psilocybe cubensis on an empty stomach in a dark room.

Alternatively you can go on an ayahuasca, which is a more intimidating experience (a stressful environment and rough on the body, but dmt remains a hell or a drug).

You could also look into large doses of mescaline.0.5g as hold cover it.

All of these will destroy your ego... I recommend that you go and do some research on the human psyche first, go listen to some Alan watts, some Terence mckenna, and even some of the more new age stuff. Learn why the ego is an illusion that keeps you from realising what you truly are.

I have been going deep down this rabbit hole, and it has become the most important pursuit in my life, it took me 30 years of living to finally wake up!

Good luck!

Very unbeneficial

I had one once on a 800 mic dose of LSD. I'd say the only thing that's beneficial about it is I had a greater sense of oneness and also decreased my fear of death. Not by any means a hippy but it could be worth it. I wouldn't recommend it to a weak minded person though.

Happens when you take a large dose of hallucinogenic drugs and your "self" stops existing for a while
Results will vary a lot from one person to another, and I'm not sure scientific studies exist about it. So a general opinion is hard to formulate.

why did you do that, specifically the crypto part ?

You're just a dumbass and probably didn't have a real ego death anyway
You probably don't even know what it actually is, go look it up on Wikipedia


By the way friends, it CAN actually be done without drugs, usually it's very very very quick and just a glimpse, but that is more than good enough
It gives you a true outlook on life that you need (I think) to be the most well rounded you can be but don't worry, can still be a great and successful person totally without it

Take a high dose of psilocybe mushrooms. Then you can leave your "body". Then you can think about your life as a third person. You can see what is wrong in your life. But you have no fear. Everthing is ok.

so you can brag about it to boost your ego, you're think is black and white young paladin

I have taken large dosis of psilocybin and done Ayahuasca 3 times during a retreat but have not experienced anything close to an ego death. Still hope it will happen one day but according to the shaman I was with some people will probably never experience it no matter how many times they try.

it's not pleasant, but it will get you there

Not a druggie or meditator. I had an ego death from reading books.

Incognito by David Eagleman (neuroscientist) showed me that all the things I assumed I was in control of are actually done unconsciously by the brain, sometimes seconds before you are even aware of it. Essentially it rid me of any beliefs I still had of free will. Afterward, I thought about my identity and realized every aspect of it had either been due to genetics or from environmental influences. I was not responsible for my identity or my beliefs or even my actions (I tend to get negative reactions when I mention the last part due to the social status quo). Since the ego requires an identity to feel special, I realized my ego was an illusion based on false pretenses. So whether or not we have souls that are experiencing consciousness, I realized the soul will not carry identity with it. It would not be a soul but rather an awareness. I am really the consciousness and my identity is just a creation of society that does not really belong to me. I did further research on that and discovered similar ideas in the four noble truths. And since then I've been looking more and more into Buddhism and cognitive science. I'm not alone with these ideas but many people in the west where I live (America) are quick to dismiss them because western ideology is rooted in Descartes "I think, therefore I am." The second "I" is interpreted as the ego. But rather, a more correct statement would be "I think, therefore there is existence."

What
You need drugs son

How is this biz

>I am now making only $500 a month translating gay erotica to somali
That's it. No more biz for me today I'm going to bed fuck you user.

Which ones?

What's a "weak minded person", faggot?

Someone who can't open their mind to new possibilities. Also wouldn't recommend to someone in a weakened mental state, suicidal etc. Mushrooms are good for that though.

>How beneficial are ego deaths ?
It's a fresh start, a clean slate.

If you wanna be a weird mentally ill faggot that pretends he's enlightened cuz he poisoned his system with drugs, then go ahead and seek it. Fucking hate you people so much, wasted a portion of my life thinking about this stupid shit when it's all a bunch of retarded babble largely between hippy doofus narcissistic shitbags. inb4 ego issues. Fuck you. Fuck an ego death, go actually die.

Absolute fucking bullshit.

ego death = cope about not being good looking and not having money
