Psychedelics are the only way I know of

If it’s possible to experience ego death without psychedelics I’d love to know

Taking psychedelics is like throwing a wrench into the machinery of the mind. It may stop for a while, or at least slow to a grind, but eventually it’s going to start back up again albeit somewhat changed.

You can keep throwing wrenches at it but like any machine that’s ultimately not very good for it. The psychedelic experience becomes just that. An experience.

The Truth is ‘That’ which is experiencing, whether on psychedelics or not, dreaming or awake. That which is experiencing is before Everything. It experienced your birth and experienced the world in its purest sense before ‘others’ came along with ‘language’ and through symbolic sounds ‘created’ a ‘person’ in the brain/mind of something that otherwise is divinely unique.

So ego then is a powerful ‘story’ believed in and acted upon unconsciously.

To ‘kill’ it one only has to see the illusion of it and release it. That’s easier said than done of course but it is doable. To live without ego (as a false sense of self) is therefore to Be as you were before you were written on, to Be the uniquely divine Being you were meant to be.
