I hear a lot of people talking about Ego death and I am, Wow!!!
How can one live without an Ego?
We must build a healthy connection with Ego, not kill it.
Killing it, you become a narcissist.

🤔 How does this work: "Killing it, you become a narcissist."
my stab at it:
ego is a sense of a person's self-importance. lack of ego might mean that someone has to derive his or her sense of identity from others. this may lead to people-pleasing, codependency, and manipulation. ironically, every interaction with others becomes about yourself.
either extreme (too much ego or too little) leads to the same outcome.
This might mean something different then what it sounds like. 'Ego Death' in some communities is referring to an experience similar to physical death and returning back to the human group collective consciousness.
I did one about a year ago an its an amazing experience.
Then I think the name concept should be changed, because it leads to misconceptions and confusion. Ego is a very important part of the Self.
tbf, it is not the only first labeling humanity created which createa confusion and division. It happens everywhere. What matter is what it means to you with label or without. Ego death like nostr:nprofile1qqsd7zhdjt0lqr20lmdz7nxc3kt8m3tkk42fgq9e9tae3fqe4grwdagppemhxue69uhkzerjv5h8xaf0qythwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qythwumn8ghj7cn5vvhxkmr9dejxz7n49e3k7mf0gxfavm explained is acknowledging the duality of human being. We have our conscious - the awake side of us and the subsconcious (or higher self). The former where the ego mostly reside. Ego death simply recognising that there is this side of us that will gravitate to the material things, the superficial stuff that you cannot take with you to the afterlife. The latter, is to transcend beyond your "awake" state, the knowing that you are more than the body you inhabit, but immortal that last: having mortal experience. ☺️ If want more, let me know. 👌
yes. it's not an ego death that's needed, but the nurturing of humility.
Exactly. The curated ego it is …
