[\[00:10\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d47PUh1LnuM&t=10s&ref=ghost.psymposia.com) Yeah so the Ascension you know of the body and the spirit where it attains you know lifting out of the spirit like having ego death experiences breaking through is pretty interesting because it's embedded a lot in our culture you know Western culture and it you know sort of like these ideas in these foundations is something that is been underground for quite a while too so as me who's someone who's experienced these sort of states you know a couple times few times the idea of like ascension in ego death is is fun because it's malleable it is there's different levels to ego death and I you know in my life I feel as though the idea that I've experienced ego death I feel like I've attained that a few times but each time it happens the quality is different and you know it could be it'd be really interesting to see if someone could give hile sort of those narratives of people

[\[01:11\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d47PUh1LnuM&t=71s&ref=ghost.psymposia.com) How they experience ascension and ego death and unity because you know the first time I experienced it I was like oh man that was complete yeah that was a complete ego death experience I was you know I was unified and I did the dad did the duh-duh-duh but then the second time I was in there I was like whoa that I thought that other one was was permanent but this one lasted even longer you know I was sort of in this state this void state for a much more longer infinite amount of time which is you know funny language is always funny because it's truly infinite why am I talking right now right there if you really do in this experience infinity why do you come out of infinity so you know it's kind of I guess that's the question of these ideas of peak experiences can peak experiences actually change you or do you actually can you maintain them as your content you develop your consciousness so going into an ego death experiences you there usually is a break of consciousness because that's why you usually go death

[\[02:12\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d47PUh1LnuM&t=132s&ref=ghost.psymposia.com) Is also accompanied with rebirth kind of the way I charted is ego death is when there's a break and you do not remember crossing overs there's a stop so it becomes almost like you're watching or reliving the idea of the Big Bang or something you know there's sort of a unified state that is only aware of awareness and then when it becomes aware of its own awareness it starts to build the reality after that and usually I think with people is like okay yeah that happens and then these ideas for me is like the ideas of that this reality was aware of its own reality that reality could exist or consciousness could exist and therefore it developed separateness from that and from there not only ideas of that idea but it is a true idea so the idea that truth was sort of the next phase coming out of that that there not only could be something there is something and the next phase for me

[\[03:13\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d47PUh1LnuM&t=193s&ref=ghost.psymposia.com) Would was not only could there be an awareness outside of that awareness I was that awareness and then you know eventually there was an idea there was a planet or a cosmos and somewhere on this planet in cosmos I guess that identity could be existing in that identity yes why I guess that identity is me and so eventually time came up and then the personal incarnation and then the history and then oh wait I'm sitting here and I'm you know in the space yeah okay I've completely come out of my body and then that's always sort of the fun because when you're immediately in there and you can kind of understand those jumps you can make a very clear pathway but as time goes on farther and farther away you're embedded with that you know it definitely changes you on the cellular level but that access becomes less and less you know you're like well you know for me one of the big takeaways is I know the world is illusion and before I

[\[04:15\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d47PUh1LnuM&t=255s&ref=ghost.psymposia.com) Had that experience I thought the world was an illusion was a really nice metaphor or was a really nice way to kind of talk about life but after that experience I was like wait no that that is probably one of the deepest truths this is truly an illusion like that is there's nothing deeper or real about that so for me that's sort of like the one for that I can really hang on to you know there's many layers that are still foggy about like oh I don't know how the universe was created but you know I know there's these sort of like awareness of itself within there but just the simple you know the simple truths I can kind of pull you back you know you can't directly talk about it because it's dealing with Cara DOCSIS because you're dealing with unity and the unity deals with two poles that are connected so language is definitely solidified
