âI am cringe, but I am freeâ

I think that it is a common sentiment since most people want to, at some point, forget their lives without leaving existance. Doing something relatively close, like letting go of personal aspirations/ego, can help us achieve a more or less similar state and just take some weight off our shoulders.

The death of the ego isnât necessarily drug-induced, though that is the most reliable way to induce ego death. When I was a teenager, I experienced intense depersonalisation and derealisation. I had come to the conclusion that my personal vessel was arbitrary; there was no real difference between âmyselfâ and someone else, besides past experiences. For a long time, I drifted through life as a non-entity. I felt like I had no firm grasp on reality, and that what I saw around me had no connection to the true expression of the world.
After a few years of reflection, I eventually felt like a human again, but I am not who I was before.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day :))

Oh man, this video. I've been arguing with my Dad and his family about this forever. They're obsessed with the idea of meditation in the new age sense, to destroy the ego and become enlightened. I've argued this exact point, that the ego and self are so important for existing and surviving in the world, to understand and better the nature of our relationship with our friends, family and the rest of the world, and ultimately be a good human. Ironically, they're among the most self-centered and narcissistic people I know, isn't that funny? Thanks as always bud.

I have a "Self-Disorder"; or a 'ipseity disturbance.' It's the worst shit ever. What little bit of me there is left misses being able to enjoy what I used to enjoy to it's fullest. Living my entire life on auto-pilot sucks. Yeah, I have no anxiety, no fears, no worries. But I also feel, very little, if any joy. Carrying conversations is hard, because I have nothing to say to anyone. Movies don't interest me. TV doesn't interest me. I enjoy music, but that's human; I don't have any set tastes, and I don't identify with the music I listen to. I play video games to pass the time, but beyond that, I just kinda' exist. Ego death sucks if you don't ever really come back from it, it's great if you want to cure your anxiety though; as I used to suffer with some of the worst anxiety imaginable, but now feel, not much of anything.

Had an ego death when I was 19 on 6 grams of mushroom. I thought I was for real dying and that I was never coming back. Once all concepts of reality left me and there was nothing but void, it was honestly one of, if not the most amazing baffling things Iâve ever experienced. I felt like Iâve always existed and always will.

The ego is greedy. It will force you to complain because it feeds from your complaining. The only way to fight it is by observing it. Catch the voice in your head and recognize it as just your ego. No more than a conditioned mind.

I feel like âegoâ and âselfâ were used interchangeably in this video.
Ego is your theoretical self, the person you think you are, based on your experiences and such so far. The part of your psyche that never leaves you alone and is always trying to protect and nag you, your mother.
The self is the part of your psyche that never shows itself completely and canât exactly be seen without tremendous effort on the part of the observer, whether that observer be you or someone else. Itâs the thing that keeps you grounded in reality, makes you robust in the presence of chaos but never coddles you, itâs your dad that supposedly went to get milk, but never returned.
The process of enlightenment isnât killing your father or your mother, your self or your ego, but making your ego stop driving away your self thinking she knows whatâs best and instead letting self / intuition steer the ship with regards to decision making regarding the issue of meaning, and ego on everything else.
Self is whatâs there, ego is the theory.
This may also make more sense if you switch self with intuition, and ego with intellect.

I had a mental breakdown last year which caused me to seek therapy. After learning about CPTSD, childhood trauma, SPD, and slowly recovering lost memories, I finally understood every decision I made my entire, why I'm attracted to the things I do and why I behave the way I am. It all made sense and for the first time in my life, I could stop being ashamed and constantly terrified every second. But the downside is that now that I know my entire personality is a mask - a coping mechanism - meant to protect me when no one else would. So, whom am I really? If I take out the mask - what is left? And what if everyone else personalities are not just masks life mine?

Iâve had some high intensity psychedelic experiences that totally annihilated my ego. This time without my ego did so much to help me heal from previous traumas, as I could examine them from a âthird point of view.â If you will. It taught me how much my ego really influences how I perceived the world. But I also realized my âegoâ is simply the âalgorithmâ, informed by our collection of previous experiences, by which we use to interact with the world.
The minimizing of ego is important, but itâs not everything.

When I was younger I was utterly convinced the world was a dream. Probably mine, probably someone else's, and that took a lot of meaning away from my life. I'm still not sure if anything is real but I've gotten to the conclusion that "Well fuck it if it isn't real. I'm me. I exist enough for me to feel, and if I'm the dream of a butterfly then I'm still myself." I have memories of the past, I'm the person who has memories of the past, regardless if the universe was created last Thursday. So I think in some way embracing the fact the self exists can also be quite a transcendent experience. You're here, right here and right now. Dreams are real while we're asleep, the fact we wake up doesn't make them any lesser.

I don't think you have to kill your ego just control it. The ego is "a great servant but a terrible master." If you know it's an illusion you won't confuse it for the real you and you can do whatever you want with it to get the most out of life. Like you're an actor in a play and you can customize your character and write what the character does in the scenes the director put you in, but the actor goes crazy if he confuses himself with the character he's playing.

I think that an interesting response to this is Rumiâs philosophy and poetry. Loss of the self and the experience of radical pluralism phrased in one way as âthe drop joining the oceanâ is seen as a form of ecstasy. Rather than seeing everything as meaningless, there is an ecstatic appreciation of the beauty and complexity of everything without differentiation. At one point he phrases it as being pleased by disappointment.
In essence, thereâs an assumption about meaning at the base of what youâre saying. In order for something to be meaningful, there must be things that are meaningless. In order for there to be things that are good, there must also be things that are bad. Each term exists as a form of judgement. Collapse of the self into the whole equalizes everything, but that doesnât make everything meaningless. Instead, this can be seen as the capacity for judgement collapsing. In this state, the bifurcation no longer makes sense. Instead, everything has individual quality and is experienced in its own way, like the colors on a color wheel. The judgement, good vs. bad, meaningful vs. meaningless, is actually a distraction from the true nature of the experience. Appreciating it and accepting it for what it is is what exists without ego. What happens next is mysterious, and always contextual.

Had an ego-death at a relatively young age. It will forever shape my view on life and everything around me. The implications of that singular moment where I could no longer associate with the identity I had carried for my whole life until that point was amazing. I was existing without the worries of being human, I felt like I was a grain of sand on an open beach, there are many like me and nothing makes me special but it's what I make of it that matters most. My greatest moment in life was when I was just in acceptance of everything and anything around me, I had found my place and I was comfortable with everything about my old identity and the world around me. It's a bunch of gibberish but I felt free, and I have chosen to live my life just like any other grain of sand that we are, but I will never forget the view from this sandy beach. It's strange to experience pure observation but if I could choose, I'd throw myself away and watch the world go by without me.

This video pretty much summarizes I tend to be more lenient towards existentialist ideas, especially Nietzscheâs. To them, living without a self would be impossible or delusional. Even if weâre not the center of the universe, we are, in the end, the center of our own existence. It ultimately us who must understand the world and choose how to interact with it, and possibly find some meaning within it. Living without the self would put into question authenticity. After all, can you be yourself if there is no âyourselfâ?

Being the small one in family, often led towards narcissism in past. Not getting enough attention and demanding attention and make fake World view around me just so I can sustain that level of narcissism, it led me towards unhappy life. Though i knew at heart, this problem of mine and one day your channel was recommended to me. I starting taking interest in different philosophy and writers. Now I can say I am improving, little by little. Thank you.

i've had ego death, or something close, while having an intense existential crisis. it's weird. i've experienced derealization and depersonalization before, and my body has a bad habit of slipping into them. but this was like dissassociation cranked up to 100. it was so weird. idk how to even describe it. but after i came back, i read my journal entries from that time and learned a lot about myself.

i think i am experiencing "ego death" rn without the drug use; i think what ive been doing for the past year is purposefully "killing" my identity because i have this immense dislike for myself, for my appearance my negativities my mediocrities, even the things ive achieved this year, i habitually reduce them to smaller pieces. i personally planned to keep on living like this so as not to feel even more negativity in case my environment expresses disapproval of my slightly unorthodox ways and preferences.... but i stumbled upon this video and the last bit about not destroying or "maintaining" the "vessel".... damn that really made me think that my plan is stupid and cowardly. and now i want to reevaluate my self image in a kinder approach.
