It’s a common practice to undergo an ego death through the use of psychedelics, the idea of death and rebirth offering an profound spiritual experience, psychonauts undergoing the process multiple times in the aid of shedding all layers of our multifaceted ego, coined by many as the DMT experience. “You can have a voluntary or involuntary ego death. A voluntary ego death is when you learn and are willing to let go, that would be your own immolation, it’s like you’re a phoenix and you’re lighting yourself on fire.”
