ITT: Characters who have achieved "ego-death"
You mean like that time I realized I was just stuff in a big stuff thing just kinda stuffing around in a random temporary arrangement?
One one who achieves that with the finality of death is going straight onto the street to either and die. It should be called Ego Nap or Ego Hiccup for something for symbolic precision of language

I never saw his character like that but now that you mention it you're right. This is wrong for this website, it's more for a spiritual father but whatever. I've experienced two ego deaths, the first one was spontaneous and random, it happened after a visit to an osteopath a long time ago. It lasted for about 3-4 hours, I didn't know what was happening and the 'ego death' faded with me talking out of my ass about spiritual things and making stupid jokes and annoying someone, it didn't have any lasting effects to my knowledge.The second one happened last year, and it was a lot more purposeful. I had been observing myself and my flaws, demons, wrong belief systems, psychological faults, whatever you want to call that, anything and everything about my inner self to the maximum depth possible, for about a week, trying to transcend it all, and praying the Jesus prayer all day, I was using a prayer rope as well. It happened suddenly. I was dead. I was living, but I was dead. It's a contradiction, a paradox. All motivations evaporated, desires disappeared, identity: gone. My name, my past stopped having any meaning. I was a grave, a skeleton, a skull. And that's what I began contemplating, catacombs, hoping to hold on to the strange sweetness a little longer. I remembered of this video and I found it again, https://youtu.be/OFVrtXpY2ec it and pic related from it gave me the feeling of such immense peace I cannot describe it. I've never identified with a skeleton, before or since, but I felt absolute stillness, even though it didn't last long. For a few short minutes my soul was free and at perfect peace. Alive and dead. The aftereffects lasted a few days. I'm far away from that peace now.In conclusion, I believe that the state of "ego death" is something to be pursued all your life, for some, and in retrospect, it was a gift from God in both instances which I didn't fully realize at the time. Glory be to God. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
