Here's another just so we're sure we're on the same page.

Regular ego needed a place to slip into it's Super Ego costume.

@Jack River It seemed to fit here for some odd reason. Maybe it's just me?

I know. It's an odd model and it's got ego written all over it. And not just in the literal sense

@Anders901 She told me to sit anywhere. So I looked around and there wasn't a chair. -The Beatles

@Anders901 Mu-

@Anders901 Call that the ground state of all experience.

@Jack River It works great when needed to cross a busy street. After that all bets are off.

@The Don Here's something that's not often said about ego death. Once you've experienced it for yourself, it's actually kind of cool in a strange way. You learn to make friends with it because it offers you something other then what you had access to before. Then you can't look away.

Ego just hangs there suspended in the nothingness supported only by it's own illusion.

@The Don Neither did Buddha

Pacing yourself are you?

You gotta go straight at the very foundation of the ego otherwise your just pussy footing around.

What's stopping you from having a direct experience of ego death right now? If you feel your self-enquiry is seriously fucking with your ego your doing it right.

@The Don Why wait till the body is falling away to say to yourself "Oh. I See Everything Clearly Now".

@Aquarius Then it is what "is". Absolute neutrality. Liberating isn't it.

@Shaun That's quite an aggressive plan you have the my man. Your plan is to extinguish the ego in one go at it. Do you already have some experience with these substances? Just asking out of concern.

@Jkris I'll just say this, most ppl associate themselves to the content which arises in consciousness (good or bad) while ignoring consciousness itself which is empty of all content. Do not get involed with all that arises in consciousness.

@Aquarius You used the right word when you said "state". It's a state like any other. All states come and go no matter if the are pleasurable or not. Find that which does not come and go.

I remember quite well those moments of clarity and connectedness as a child. That is the driving force behind this journey now. To re-discover that part of me that got lost along the way.

@The Don Do you ever get a gut feeling that some aspect of you has always been here? We're not only this world of "things" that are percieved through a physical body for a short period of time but we are also the space between all things. Just gaze around the room your sitting in now. Allow awareness to expand so that it becomes all encompassing.. If you contemplate that you may get a taste of your infinite presents beyond matter. So no worries. Put your right arm out to the side. It's right there. And there. And there. And over there too. That's you! It's always been you.

@The Don Here is something to go with that. The guy is a little corky so just take the finer points he makes.

@Serotoninluv There are a couple things that just seem to work very naturally. One is laying out under a starry sky for hours. Another is sitting in silence in the woods. Some amazing shifts in consciousness can happened. In both cases everything becomes God. A merging into oneness.
