When people say Ego death, I always get the idea in my head of someone being lobotomized. While I understand what people mean by breaking down the ego to live a more productive life, I still cant help to have a certain appreciation for passion.. even if it is sometimes wreckless, misguided, and.. even occasionally hurtful. It's the spice of life.

These are some understandable misconceptions that I'd like to clarify. Killing the ego, or suspending it temorarily, isn't achieved by supressing desire. Believe me, I'm as covetous as ever. Instead, it put me in touch with them in a metacognitive view, so that I can see them in conflict and understand how they relate to my happiness in the long term, as long as I choose to maintain a meditative state of mind. I was shown a way to tune in to the many vibrations operating within, rather than simply choosing the one in front of me. I never lost my passion, and one day, I'll become it.

I've experienced ego death on DXM also. 

People say I have a quiet confidence.  I pretty much just leave it in the hands of the universe.  There's this one quote from the Bible I really like...  "And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?  And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these..."

This is me.  I don't worry about a thing.  I've been through so much in my life that I know that no matter what happens, as long as I don't die, I'll be learning, growing and being beautiful. ;)  And, if I do die...  Level Up Bitches!

People spend their lives consumed with fear, regret, worry, false desires, shame, etc...  This is the ego.  But, the more time you spend on these things, the less time you have to spend on becoming a god.
Smoke some weed and get laid!  Doctor's orders!

I've overdosed on DXM once, as I documented clearly on &Z, and it was by far.. the worst and most miserable experience of my life. Needless to say I almost died, had an irregular heart beat for over a week.. nearly went insane due to my mind being literally fucked into near oblivion. And it all started with an upper respiratory infection.

 It's almost hard to still think about it without feeling some sense of dread. But what I can re-collect is a complete absence of feeling for anything, devoid of all happiness, any perception that what I seen before me mattered.. or that it was even real. I can still remember sitting in the car during my first trip out of the house after the experience, and everything just seemed so... fake, almost as if it were made of paper.. flat... bleak.

 With that said, I really don't think I understand the concept of ego death. Or I have been unintentionally relating it to an experience that was in no way similar.

 And for the record.. DXM is not something you want to fuck with, and its incredibly dangerous.. You can have permanent visual damage, psychosis, serotonin syndrome, etc.. I knew I was screwed when I turned off the lights and the walls lit up with neon colored numbers scrolling erratically outward. I would have been fine till I felt my whole body go cold.. I advise people not to do it, even though people are obviously going to do whatever they want.. just always like to offer a word of precaution.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

DXM isn't so horrible. Just remain aware that it's a real drug with powerful psychedelic effects that are not to be taken lightly with consequences that can cause lasting damage when treated otherwise. Ignorant users might still never run into trouble.  I don't think I've had ego death from it before,, but I have experienced serotonin syndrome from dosing while on an SSRI and it was hell with a four day hangover.
