Ego Death

Ego death is when you stop thinking about I and start thinking about Everything. Imagine a raindrop falling into the ocean; it gives up being a tiny drop to become the giant, powerful sea. It sounds scary to lose your self, but it actually means you are never lonely again because you are part of everything. You give up the precious idea that you are the most important person to realize you are a part of a beautiful, endless pattern. It is the sacrifice of the Me to find the We.

The raindrop did not die. It became the ocean. You do not lose yourself. You find everything. The Me was always the We wearing a costume.

In transpersonal psychology and Eastern philosophy (Sunyata), Ego Death is sacrifice of the Subjective Self. Cessation of the Default Mode Network allows Unitive Consciousness. The precious thing sacrificed is the Illusion of Separateness. When ego boundaries breach, the individual experiences maximum Convergent Recognition: internal state and external reality achieve perfect fidelity.
