Hello All,
I haven't been here in years... How is err'body? I figured I would stop in and share my paper on DMT-induced ego death to see if anyone has had similar experiences, as it would be nice to have a discussion with like-minded individuals. %)

Here is an excerpt:
"The experience of enlightenment involves a full blown epiphany of the Oneness of the Universe: time ends, Eternity is experientially realized, and subsequently, death is experienced as a transition of being; not the end of our existence, effectively eliminating any fear of dying. We realize – as a fundamental truth – that we are eternally-recurring beings. The person thus raptured experiences the death of his ego; his merely limited sense of self is totally dissolved, enabling him to comprehend for the first time the Ground of All Being; the Eternal Universe, of which he understands that he is. Essentially, the individual’s microcosmic (Earthly) frame of reference slowly erodes leaving behind only a macrocosmic (Universal) frame of reference which is almost entirely ineffable. All that was previously unconscious is revealed to consciousness: it is as if the entire mystery of life dissolves before one’s eyes, leaving one to comprehensively feel and understand the “predestined” purpose and “synchronistic” order behind all events in the Universe. The concept of God presents itself as a divine totality symbol of Love/Oneness and paradoxically, reciprocity (forming the triad of Reconciliation). The epiphany dawns upon consciousness that, “I am God” (this is precisely why Christ equated Himself with the Father, because He was acutely aware that He is the Father; He is God, of which we all are – which, by the way, was His principle teaching). This understanding is paralleled in Exodus 3:14 when Moses asks God for His name and God replies, “I am that I am.” That is, “I am that which I am – the Universe.” This tautology is also found in the Hindu Vedas (the Chandoyga Upanishad 6.8.7) as “tat tvam asi,” which translates to “thou art that.” Truly, thou art that, the Universe - God."
Take care!
