About this episode

This episode dismantles the myth of ego death, explaining the role of the ego and how it relates to one's true self.

The popular story about ego death is simple: the ego is the enemy, the thing standing between you and your true self — so kill it, dissolve it, starve it into submission. But that's a category error from the start. In this episode, we dismantle the myth, explain what the ego actually is and why you need it, and reveal what the experience people call ego death genuinely changes — not the removal of the self, but a shift in what you take yourself to be. No death required. Receive my free guide "5 Inner Blocks That Keep You From Deep Spiritual Growth."View my latest content all in one place.
