  fun(?) fact! ego death feels like death :D

  you know that thing people say about how everyone’s last thought is of their mother or their home?

  when i first took LSD i experienced an ego death, and just before fully letting go i thought to myself “how will i tell my mum i died?”

  it was, to put it blunt, quite fucking terrifying. thankfully i had enough logic in me to calm myself down and fully let go to experience it, after the you dies the world becomes so– fresh. i felt like an alien experiencing the Earth for the first time, there was no barrier between me and the world, because for a few hours there was no “me”

    Damn that must be scary in the moment, but also what an interesting experience, was that feeling of seeing the world with a new perspective temporary or do you feel it left any lasting impact?

      it was temporary but unforgettable

      it’d be impossible to live like that, but for a while it felt like being born again

      and it definitely left a lasting impact on me, everything was so easily beautiful. usually you have to look to notice the beauty, but then it was all apparent and awe-inspiring, i was thinking about the concepts of hospitality and langauge, as well as look at the setting sunlight dancing in the window

      i could write a book attempting to describe that evening, and even then it wouldn’t be a perfect description, it’s something you have to experience
