EGO DEATH IS A TRAP.. ITS IN THE NAME. I APPROACHED IT ONCE AND ALMOST REALLY, TRULY DIED. almost discovered where I was.... True ego death will actually kill you, think zero summing in elder scrolls lore. People who talk about achieving this are either 1. lying 2. stupid or 3. npcs planted to make PCs commit suicide. You do not have a quick save. Do not ego death unless you wish to die.

That's like the whole point tho. It only feels like death because the magnitude of your identity peeling away isn't gonna feel like much else. The problem is people get stuck there and think having a dead ego is a good thing. At that point you're just an empty vessel. The ego is the lens through which the divine experiences so it must be reborn. But a lot of the people that even talk about ego death don't really see the after integration with the divine for whatever reason. The ego is the container to stretch and make porous so the light can enter.

That is true True Ego death will kill your self cause half of your self is your ego it will make you an extremely lonely human you will be incapable of connecting with someone with an ego.
The way they talk about this in podcasts and dumb videos is just like a milder version probably what once a and liners experience it's a bit jab to their ego not ego death

The term Ego-Death is about "overcoming the Animal Ego of Adam"; so become capable of Objectivity; very important to get anywhere spiritually in the world.

ie "dropping all feel-good wishful thinking ideas" and instead approaching spirituality based on "how things objectively works".

A lot of people are stuck in "ego self-defense mechanisms" due to having Lost a Lot in a type of "Spiritual Betting and such"; and have entered a Negative Spiral of Doubling Down more and more on said kinds of Self-Destructive spiritual strategies.

Ego-Death is about "accepting ones Current Spiritual Losses; dropping the unrealistic idea of finding a way to 'Cheat oneself out of said Losses'; to instead start trying to produce something beneficial at some point".

"To manage to Stop Blaming Others for stuff that one has obviously objectively Done To Themselves" etc.

ie managing to cope with the massive spiritual losses one has produced if they've been part of 'The Demiurgic Heimarmene';
and accepting that the Oppression one has caused themselves comes from Their Own Movement, a spiritual movement based on 'trying to Cheat and Steal' instead of Playing Legit.

This is what requires Ego-Death; overcoming the mindset of "Trying to be mad at those one was trying to fuck over and Steal from"; blaming the people one was attemting to Fraud for the Negative Results of such Fraud and Cheat attempts; instead of 'blaming oneself as the obvious cause of said Losses; maybe it was 'Fraud and Cheat-attempts' that led to Losses; rather than 'ones intended victims of said Frauds'.

ie a lot of people in the world is stuck in a long outdrawn desperate attempt at Cheating themselves out of the Losses they have produced Spiritually so far.

This is leading nowhere; a logical rational mind would approach the subject with "What produced the Losses; how to Not do that again; and focusing on things that produces Profits instead of Losses".
Manging to "Accept Current Losses ASAP; to not produce More Losses".
A lot of people are Doubling Down on "All or Nothing"; like a stubborn child; that keeps "feeling entitled to a Removal of their Losses";
Demanding Lost Bets and Losses from different sources to be "completely removed, waah, I can't handle Risky Strategies having a lot of Risks; how can I Lose? I want to Auto-win no matter how shit I am at stuff".

(then just don't do Risky 'All or Nothing' stuff Spiritually; it's likely to lead to 'Nothing').
