Just curious--

Ego death seems to be a phenomenon more commonly experienced on more 'typical' psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, etc)...has anyone had an ego death experience solely from MDMA? My experience suggests that MDMA 'softens' the ego, but doesn't quite put it through the wringer to the extent that something like LSD does.

Thoughts/experiences anyone?
 
i feel like mdma separates you from your ego and allows you to see it as it really is without totally obliterating it..

the key is to take it with a psychedelic like lsd to get the maximum potential out of the mdma experience. thats what i think anyway.

i agree with MDMA it does deff softin my ego but the one time i did MDMA with mushrooms, it shatterd my ego, i thought i was someone else that i had no clue that this tottalt other person with a tottally diff way of thinking was inside me. it was a trip.

Ego death won't happen from MDMA. Ever. MDA, on the other hand, has shattered my ego more than once.

thats what i thought. i figured it would be very hard-nearly impossible to have an mdma ego death. but ive come pretty close to an mda ego death.
 
I have had a complete ego death from LSD, but never from MDMA. I actually get the opposite, when I'm rolling I feel like I know exactly who I am and where I fit into the universe, absolute peace of mind. It's the self-acceptance that allows the emotional bonding and empathy with others, IMO.
 
I agree that the general experience of MDMA is of "softening" the ego, but this softening can allow one to experience another reality which is normally out of our awareness due to the ego's dominance. One of my experiences in particular confirms this to me, it was much more typical of a traditional psychedelic such as LSD/mushrooms.

Altered states are really what we make of them...they can be a meaningless but enjoyable high, or they can be used to better understand our consciousness and it's malleability so that the experience can leave us changed in some way. I tend to use them for both although I'd like to move more and more toward the latter.
 
moar egO n stuff

it aint good to completely eliminate the ego. It makes reality real depressin to come back too.

Im talkin about @c!D and shrooms of course...both are mostly most excellent expearences that eliminate my ego, but its hard to come back to the crummy technological business based selfish and fully integrated bullshit system of reality we have here in the states. :(

"Fuck You" is the new way to say "Hello" here the the United States of A.

MDMA, yes it is depressin on the comedown, but at least I can remember the ego softenin I had while on it...its easier to "re-connect" :\

Maybe the mushroom and LSD experiences are just as (un)real as the "reality" we experience from day to day?
 
I did e with a first time user a couple of years ago. I've known him my entire life, and anyone would agree how "thug" he is. When he took the drug, he completely lost his "hard-ass" mentality and basically morphed into a human teddy bear - the complete opposite of who he is.
 
Ego death happens on intense psyches not on MDMA. I think a loss of ones inhibitions/social barriers would be a better way to describe MDMA.
