Haha, I like the irony of the title. Who would be wrapping a mind around the ego? Not I :P.

So here's an attempt at explaining ego death a bit better:

In short, it's when 'You' die, your sense of self. It can be many things, think of life as a flux of all things in existence, when you have an intact ego 'you' (the 'self') will always have something to cling to, to attach yourself with, essentially a clear definition with the self.

When you have no ego you truly realize all the possibilities of pure existence, raw experience without any attachment, no limitations other than the ones you (your sense of self) sets upon you. To most people losing the ego tends to be associated with death, and so this term has taken on a religious tone, and rightly so as, afaik, that is the root of its origins; with eastern philosophy.

Dying (as in losing your ego) can feel like hell or it can feel like heaven, and the multitudes of experiences in between. 'You' have nothing to attach to and so you drift, you go with the flow of reality on its natural course, there is still a perception, there will always be a 'self' it's just no longer contained within the confounds of your physical body, your physical body extends the mind without limits, pervades everything; touching everyone, everything you see, you truly realize it is all 'you.'

Reality can best be understood when it's 'inside' your self, so don't separate it. 'Memory' is no longer contained within the brain, it's simply another expression of the mind; you'll find yourself answering every question you ask, it's as if another person is in the room, and in a sense one always is; it's you, you is not alone as long as it's got 'you' lol.

Now I'm either beginning to sound a bit insane, or at least bordering on religious which I was doing my best to avoid as it tends to put a haze over explanations, so I'll leave it here. If anyone has experienced this and gotten scared off, don't be, it's really nothing to be worried about. Good job for making it this far; experiencing what you have and still being. If something scares 'you' realize it's just an extension of you, now go kill it haha.
