Hmm. I misinterpreted. I took it to mean the death of egotistical perceptions not the actual loss of self.
That’s what happened to me over pretty much my first intense hallucinatory experiences.

I thought ego death was to do with dissolving the ego due to some important revelation then rebuilding it with new information. A sort of transformational experience where you have learned something new and your ego needs to be rebuilt to cope with the new information.

Here here. That’s it alright.
A demon drove me out. It was put into me when I read The Bible for the first time. I was on PCP. My Alter Ego used it to make me so excited with fear that when I realized it was untrue I died of relief, over and over. I say a demon drove me out but it was more like a force of nature, a tempest or great storm, it put out my light.
why the hell would you do that? geez.
Drove you out of where?
I was only 15, didn’t know any better

In my case I just don’t attribute any importance to myself. I think I don’t matter and I stepped out of the competition belief because I can not feel better or worse than anybody. As a consequence I don’t compare people and that made me a happier person. Took a huge weight out of me. I stopped feeling frustrated, or angry or dissapointed in myself. I recomment it but I don’t know how I got to this state. I don’t if it was the LSD, the sz, both. Note that I am not altruist unless towards children. I also am not cooperativist.

Drove me out of my mind. He made a bang: impressed me completely so I’d believe.

I used to have a big ego. Now I’m very humble.
Both have their pros and cons.

He told you he wanted you to believe?
I never had an ego really. However, since I was a baby people told me that is the way to go but it never made much sense to me because I saw hungry kids in the street and I realised they are just as good of human beings as any other so that opened my mind to how this competitive World generates a lot of division and injustice. Stepping out of the competitive mindset was the best thing to ever happen to me. I also realise that if one does not go through a humbling experience they tend to stick to ego forever constantly competing as their purpose in life is to feel important, better, as absurd as it may sound the majority of the World’s population dreams of being on tv to be able to say to others, did you see me on tv? That is the current status of mankind. I just feel we as a race could be so much more evolved but ego blinds people to the real truth that there are billions of lives in need of help and egoistic people tend to attribute that problem to the government and wash their hands. We are all responsible and the World should wake up and value lives instead of things.

He made me insane and told me he wanted me to believe in something other than religion.
I see. So he was irrational and its lost power under scrutiny?
He lost power by abusing it. He lost himself when he realized he was irrational. He holds onto a weak argument but he knows it’s bunk. The mystery is solved and schizophrenia did it not the result of a decision I made.
