Ego: Death or Life, which do you choose?
Ego is not bad in my books, it's an evolutionary tool of sorts maybe..... Imagine a graph with a wave going across it with normal ebbs and flows, this being the average joe's ego. The rising points of the wave are when our sensory system connects with the cosmic web of the universe and we are most "awake" let's say. My experiences with Iboga and DMT have changed me to the extent that I am totally content with life and whatever happens...that's my baseline. I love myself, and I know that's the ego, which is good. When DMT, Iboga, Mantra chanting, etc was introduced, my graph would show points where my waves would spike sky high. This is death of the ego in my book, one step closer to "uniform being." I felt like an organic computer in upgrade mode. My mind is convinced that the "breaking open the head" connection, or the DMT connection is a shedding oneself of the ego and returning to the primordial ooze that we all came from for just a brief moment. During these experiences, I completely surrender my body and mind to the medicine, and try and ride the snake or surf the wave, and with DMT, Iboga, and to an extent many other entheogens, I have completely left what I view as an remnants of my ego gone for a brief moment. This is so tough for me to write about. I am not even sure I feel great publishing it because I don't even know what it really means to me yet, or if that even matters. What I do know is it has changed my life, and I feel I have been shown the great door to infinity.... I feel connected to people in ways I cannot explain. I like the idea of altruism more. Then there's our relationship with plants....enough said for the night. One Love Party People. Blue
