A Rapid Ego Death: A Short Story | Enlightenment
(Telos1) Oct. 1, 2024: Best of Telos. Tom realized that the thing he had been most afraid of wasn’t life — it was himself. He had been afraid that he wasn’t enough, that he was broken, that he was a failure. But now he knew that none of that was true.

Ego Death Meditation: Experience transcendent "enlightenment"
(iDoser Mindfulness Meditation Music and Tutorials) Jan. 4, 2022: NEW YORK. Ego Death Meditation is an audio induction sequence designed to bring transcendent "enlightenment" (not the real bodhi/nirvana or satori/kensho but a more Mahayana/Hindu advaita sense of connection with the One, the Whole, rather than the delusion of separation) through ego loss. Experience transcendence through the powerful loss of self-identity or clinging to views of self or being attached to an illusion.
- [Paradoxically, it takes a strong sense of self to let go of the delusion. What is and is not "self"? It is not all this impersonal stuff around. To find it, we closely examine and investigate form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness. If it's anywhere, it's there among these processes. The delusion that there is an ego (an unchanging soul, self, personality, watcher, or owner) apart from everything else, the dreaded sense of separation, is illusory. When we refer to "self," myself, yourself, themselves, we are referring to one or more of these five ever-changing heaps or aggregations of things we are identifying with as "self."
- (But if we are doing it, who is doing it? Isn't that the self?)
- [Ah, good question! No, that is not the self doing it, not the self clinging to the Five Aggregates clung to as self. As bizarre as it may sound, these Five Aggregates or heaps are doing it: Form (the Four Elements or qualities of materiality) forms and clings to form, feeling feels and clings to feeling, perception perceives and clings to perception, mental formations form and cling to formations, and the impersonal process of consciousness -- which is a series of mind-moments or cittas and mental-concomitants or cetasikas, not a thing unto itself -- is conscious and clings to consciousness. This would all be gobbledygook and just words if it were not for something precious the Buddha left behind -- the instructions on how to know-and-see this for oneself. Unless those aggregates know-and-see this, they are not going to detach, let go of, and stop clinging to the illusion.]
