EGO DEATH

I believe majority of people have a problem with certain big ideas, because of their upbringing. There's something very wrong with how we are educated, raised. When people take psychedelics, many start experience something called "ego death". You can reach this with meditation too, but it's much more difficult. The understanding that its only now that is real. The past and the future, is an illusion that we identify with. This is ego, we believe we are this certain person, because these things happened to us. We victimize ourselves, start believing we cannot change because of this trauma or event. Or, we start thinking to far ahead in the future, that when this certain thing happens we will allow ourselves to be happy.

Take religion, if you actually study the Quran or the Tanakh, even the Bible. If you read it them critically, they're actually filled with really bad advice, bad morale, bad teaching, like supremacy. You are of the chosen religion and everyone else will burn in hell, that kind of thing. We should have gotten rid off this as a species long time ago and just kept with spirituality, a sense of connectedness with all living. Like, keeping the good things with theism. But over time, we identify more and more with our ego. Let fear slip in. Let hate slip in...

Take money. Most people don't understand that either. It's another lie, that we have been identified with.

Sometimes I want to slip a little LSD in my dads coffee, to open his mind... I wouldn't of course, because he's in a home and I would go to jail for this. Also don't have any. Haha.

Sometimes I dream of becoming a dictator.

So I could really change things.
