Renounce every ego pattern the instant it surfaces. Thoughts, emotions, roles, urges—consider them all as external. Your default response should be: "Not mine." Starve the ego by intentionally disregarding its demands: control, uniqueness, validation, permanence, separation. Act contrary to its wishes. Utilize these practices merely as temporary instruments. Never allow them to morph into a new identity. Refrain from discussing the work extensively. Conversation disseminates ideas but seldom instigates change. Gauge progress solely by diminished automatic identification, reduced emotional reactivity, and a lesser craving for validation. Daily exercise: Dedicate 10-15 minutes each morning. Observe thoughts and feelings as they arise. Make Jimsonweed proud Anons.
my pol browsing has gotten simpler and quieter once I figured out I could shift+leftclick to hide garbage threads. I only have three threads visible right now.

REMEMBER ANONS: Spend an entire day seeking no validation. Behave contrary to your usual demeanor. Perform inadequately in public and accept it. Follow another's plan without resistance. Release or alter something you are attached to and observe the reaction without indulging it. Trigger training: Identify your primary triggers—criticism, being overlooked, loss of status. Intentionally expose yourself to mild versions. Remain in the feeling and apply disownment and defiance until the intensity diminishes. Evening reflection: Allocate three minutes. Record which patterns you nurtured and which you disowned. No judgment—just data. Begin modestly. Perfect the daily drill and real-time interruption first. Engage in full intensity for designated periods—weeks or months—then reevaluate. If your nervous system is overwhelmed, prioritize improving your sleep, nutrition, and physical activity before exerting yourself. Anticipate resistance from others when you cease to embody your former self.There's no need to justify your actions. Steer clear of these pitfalls: transforming ego death into a new form of ego, incessantly discussing the method, using it to gain subtle superiority, pursuing comfort while mislabeling it as progress, and viewing the framework as unchangeable. This process involves deprogramming through repetition. The outcomes manifest as a calmer mind, diminished compulsions, reduced emotional turmoil, and genuine liberation from your self-narrative. It operates through consistent disownment and transgression, rather than through insight or belief.
our emotions, roles, urges are endogenous, especially instincts, though. they are not merely external, they are part of the programming of the universe in us. we should be able to control our emotions, eventually - that is also part of the programming, the process of growing up, but to renounce them is impossible and foolish
>>534954055Emotions are essentially data points—high-speed summaries of our environment and internal state. Controlling them isn't about suppression, but about translation. It’s moving from "I am angry" to "I am experiencing x." "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response." — Viktor Frankl
>>534954333it's not merely data because they operate on a different level. the levels interact, but the source of emotion/instinct is independent of and precedes reflection/observationinstinctual/unconscious motivations have an evolutionary purpose, ie. a response already in mind. it can be moderated, sure, but to ignore or attempt to deny the intent misunderstands our self and our path to realization in life
>>534953041I followed the path of a star. Everything inside of me is part of me I cannot exile it I just let it be as it may. The body knows before the mind when collapse is near. The trick is learning to let go and cry. The ego cannot be killed. It can be dissolved and through the death process made stronger and more porous. Like an orchid. Stick grows strong through death. A star only becomes when it accepts it's gravity and falls inward and returns in radiance. If you can't let go of tears idk how much real hope you have of letting go of external life.
>>534953041This is just a rip-off of the unceasing prayer of the sainted. There is no "ego death" by definition. Everything you think and do is a product of how you see yourself in some fashion. Everyone who thinks that they reached "ego death" is invariably an egotistical asshole. First, you have to go to an Orthodox Church as an inquirer, then you become a catechumen. While doing this, you learn about what sin is, and which thoughts and behaviours are unclean. Then, you say "Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." externally and/or internally, indefinitely, forever.
>>534953041>>534955960Only in this way will you be freed of demonic contamination and the influence of the logismoi. Otherwise, with just OP's advice, you're left with nothing to guage anything with but your own egotistical and unhumiliated expectations. Might as well go become a yogi, you'll still be controlled by the Devil.
>>534953041>>534953730The very logic of this is that you are trying to become a "true self" that you would necessarily have to recognize and act in accordance with, just separated from the expectations of others and your own petty "urges." It's a contradiction.
>>534956570aye, attachment to non-attachmentnigga, just don't think too much about it, let it bewild animal versus domesticated animalwild is free, uninhibited energy flows
>>534953041Dont tell me how to live
>>534955960>You need a churchThat's such horseshit fuck you and anyone that allows that lie to persist. No priest can lead you to yourself or the Christ signal. Pretty ironic a religion around releasing the ego got built into an ego cathedral.
>>534953041>Make Jimsonweed proud Anons.I've read enough erowid to avoid that entheogen... but who knows, maybe one day I'll eat a single seed just to see what happens
>>534953041This is just shadow integration or mindfulness tbf also the ego should not be killed it should be matured
