DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL Q+A: After ego death, do you no longer have an ego? Are you awakened, chosen?

[@WillsEasyGuitar]

After ego death, you become more aware of the ego that likes to sneak back in occasionally. You spot it and don't pay any mind to it. You realize it is an imaginary perceived sense of self. It is abstract. I allow mine to come in and I play the role of the character but it is just that a character. I find I have to do it when I interact with other people because without it I would be silent and just observant. I no longer feel like I am separate from life or nature where real truth exists. I have to use the ego character in order to interact with those still in the dream state if that makes sense. I think that for some people it is the beginning of enlightenment but not for everyone. It depends on what path is before them. I do believe that those that go through ego death have done so because it is a necessary step for what their destiny has in store for them. It isn't up to us. Something beyond us is pulling the strings. So in that sense, I guess you could say they are chosen but that is not to say that they are favored by the universe or anything for the sake of self-worth. It would be pointless because without ego pride has no value. It is simply a rite of passage for what is ahead of you. Not everyone will encounter ego death and not everyone will be able to see reality. most will remain within the dream state. I know many of the things I am saying may seem a bit strange but I am trying to word them in a way that will make sense. It can become very bizarre-sounding to those that have not gone through the same thing. It is like describing sound to a deaf person. The more I go down this path the more alone I become but at the same time, I am never lonely. When your ego is dissolved you then should see that you are not separate from nature. It is a way to find peace. You start going with the flow instead of fighting it. You become more accepting of reality. It is a very difficult thing to talk about without sounding insane, full of crap, or confused. This is why I usually don't talk about it. It is a personal journey. I appreciate your videos and the effort and time you spend doing them.

Thank you for sharing! And no, you don't sound confusing or insane at all, simply genuine.

[@moonie2687]

thanks for writing this comment, it really resonated with me and reminds me i am not alone on this journey. i feel the urge to be alone more and more, where even being around my husband is hard for me rn. i just sincerely want to be left alone. i dont want to explain whats happened to me, or x y and z, and have ppl judge or call me crazy or look at me funny. i just want to be.

[@danielhererra29]

We are in this together🙏🏾 I couldn’t agree more with what you’ve shared. I can relate to needing my ego to interact with ppl because I too become silent and observant. Ty

[@ena9188]

After ego death you find out who you really are and where you come from and why are you here on this planet .What is your mission.That is what happened to me.The ego will try and come back because it doesn't want to die and then negative energies and thoughts will come to you from your ego as it's slowly dying even fear so it would cling to you.After you are awakened you will get a new ego but a light version instead of the one that was programed by the society.

[@RegardsRei]

I like your explanation 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ena9188]

@@RegardsRei Trust me I am still new in this so,I am still trying to figure it out myself and was watching videos and researching what is happening to me so I would know why am I getting negative thoughts in my head.Thank you ☺️ though

Awakening started at the age of 14, and at the age of 50, I had ego death ❤🎉

[@LouisRUFFIN-gm1nk]

It removes depression completely, believe that

[@MaviBlueArt]

I feel detached from all the things you mentioned because otherwise it would just bring me sadness. But the biggest problem of detachmemt I have is being detached from my relatives outside of my parents. I had to emotionally detach myself from even my siblings and everyone blames me for being cold and not caring enough whenever they meet or talk to me. I know I'm not warm towards my relatives but they don't respect any of my preferences in life. My life style and wanting to be left alone is a source of concern for them. I like their thoughtfulness but they do it wrong. I wish they would just respect my life like I respect theirs. I might be an asshole in their eyes but that's the character I developed after awakening and dealing with my ego. And I'm always respectful and I get really happy when I meet them. I just don't like what follows after... Them sticking their nose in my life...

[@ThechicagoRedshow]

I came across your videos right when I had mine in 2020. Glad to see there’s a massive ego death occurring. I swear mine was kind of like a “they live” movie kind of moment

[@RegardsRei]

Now I want to go watch that movie! I just googled it, and it sounds so interesting.

[@ThechicagoRedshow]

@@RegardsRei it’s fascinating. So for me, I was in the lock down and I began to reflect and just shut down. then in June 2020 I went back to work and looked around and suddenly something hit me and I had to leave the office and get fresh air. I looked around and laughed and I realized “wow….all of this …what the hell am I doing here?” it was a lot to take in but I’m working on it everyday

[@marigoldcobbina3877]

Rei, thank you for your videos… I experienced what you did. I remember tell my ex I had three personalities. I never truely identified with the indoctrinations I was recieving and my world seemed so divided. But I have been always in tune with my spirit. Some how my path always was clear, even when I thought it was something else, my actual path opens and the one I thought was my path shuts down so I don’t go there. It was like someone holding my hand to discover what makes me fulfilled

[@Kelswithchrist]

Before my ego death i had a emotional high I was thinking i could sense my purpose and my future Then suddenly it made no sense to me Love pain and human experiences are not real So before my brain my ego was sure of who i was Every label that made me who i was I was connecting with it all Before i convinced myself that i could see the future and have visions about what can accure So it wasn't intuition

[@jkentertainmenthub234]

Brain fog, low focus , low concentration, i cant able to catch word of people around me 😢 so difficult phase ...hope everything will be calm ...im doing regular meditation since 1 year. Just pray for me to fast recovery beautiful souls😢❤

Rei does some ego death symptoms feel like u have no thoughts like a inner voice anymore . I am empty and i feel like i don't feel real And i feel like i dont have my vibration anymore it was high i feel like i have no spirit Does this happen in ego death ? When i was feeling completely sure of who i was it just faded I mistook ego death for depression But i know the difference now Most days i do nothing and just wanna lay down I feel lack of everything Like nothing makes sense anymoe

I feel like i was sinling into this for 10 years, but my positive, happy, cheery ex husband kept pushing me to get out of it, he had good intentions of course, its a very confusing time and I dont think anyone else can understand unless they went through it. Anyway, as soon as we divorced- BAM!!! Flat on my face with all this...

[@LouisRUFFIN-gm1nk]

The worst thing to me besides all of the others I won't say,is after my mom died,i wad crushed losing her, the whole entire thing afterwards surprised me, but now i finally know fully how they feel. My two sisters on my mom's side, went full throttle trying to destroy my name, my reputation, my living arrangements, and my life. The teo sisters i grew up with since I was born, plotted way before my mother died jusy whay and how they were going to hurt me. I ead here at my home with my mother trying to take care of her, she haf dementia, i wad taking care of her alone, while my sisters were talking shit about me, and tearing me down behind my back. When my mother finally passed away, my sister called the police and drove all the way to my city i live in to cause a scene and tp cause me trouble. I wad alone in my home not bothering nobody, trying to figure out just how i was going to take care of my mother's final wishes on my fixed income. I take medicine to help me handle yhis world's bullshit, so i don't fall into depression, i wad in my home not bothering no one, and my sister, my so called family brought the freaking cops to my home to harass me, when i finally got the police to get her out of my home,she stood in front of my home and gave these haters, these neighbors thay already don't like me a long ignorant show dogging me out in front of my home,while i wad freshly in my home grieving my mother's death. This is my family, this is yhos world, yhis is whay your god cursed me with because he loves me so much, right Whatever. I can't wait to be free of this bullshit thay has been hurting me every way they can think up .enough is enough. I'm tired of the fucking bullshit. Everywhere I go,bullshit, all my existence in bullshit. Enough

[@TheChoice2121]

I am currently in the space of "feeling like I just a pair of eyes with no identity or the -clothes-" on your character. I think it's starting to rebuild though because im finding what excites me and starting to accept the word "I" . because for a while I just felt like a ghost walking around so disconnected just observing it all. it was hard to interact in this state! frustrating. I find my consciousness slipping sometimes though and wanting to go back into ghost form just disconnected and present. like nothing. but I also want to rebuilt my ego. I think the -character- is an essential part of this great symphony here in reality! the character needs to stay in check of course. but I think I want to start accepting my character because it has begun to feel like an endless fight against "myself". which for a while and still trying to grasp that it is okay to have a self. and maybe its made up if you stay in the observer state. but its fun. I could go in a loop of course. but I want to start embracing the ME

The background sound effects show how much you love making these videos, it is a really lovely presentation Rei. Your content does resonate with me. Have you read any book of osho? I'm just curious😉.

[@RegardsRei]

Hi Anirban! Thanks, you’re so kind as always 🥰 I’m actually waiting for the Osho book from my library. Turns out, my local library has three books from Osho, and all of them are checked out right now. But I did read “Power of Now” from Eckhart Tolle a long time ago. Love that book 🥰

[@anirbanghosh1670]

@@RegardsRei glad you like Eckhart, in that book it was written somewhere, we can only experience present moment , future & past are just thoughts which are like cloud floating in the sky of infinite present. Tomorrow always comes as present. That surmise that we live in eternal NOW. these lines has profound effect on myself, so i shared. It's very heartening to know that there are many people like you who are blessed with the CHOICE to wear identity as they wish. For you Identity doesn't become a burden but an ornament. Take care.

[@RegardsRei]

Yes!! Me too, exactly that message. It made me slow down and become present in whatever I do. And when I get too absorbed in my thoughts, those are the words that bring me back to my center. Also, I learned about the pain body, which was so interesting and fascinating to me. It really helps to objectify the emotional pain, anger, etc. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. So interesting talking to you 😊

[@MaviBlueArt]

3:28 me thinking I was just a conscious being experiencing life like everyone else but also feeling like I was just an observer looking on them. I always felt like I was just watching other people's life until my awakening started. Now I don't just feel like it, I'm sure I'm just meant to observe lol. 😂😂😂edit: I mean I just mind my own business and live quietly.

[@noorhajime5549]

Interesting video thank you! 🌸 I wanna know during the journey of 10years did you go through intense emotions like fear/anger/grief (some call it the child within/ emotional body charge) And if yes how did you overcome all of that and build a new identity -where your innerpeace is your most priority ?

[@RegardsRei]

Wow... that's a very interesting, thought provoking question that requires a long answer. But in a nutshell, I think that process of working through my old emotional wounds (the emotional body charge...? I should look that up) came after my "bliss" period during another awakening period, which I haven't mentioned yet in any of my videos. What about you? What's your experience with this? I'd love to hear about it.

[@RegardsRei]

I see, I see... yes, I can definitely relate… it’s definitely a tough period… I don’t think I can give your question full justice ( it’s such a great question) and give you a full explanation of what worked for me in the comment section. So I’ll make a video on this topic. I have a video on meditation that’s supposed to come out next, but after that, I’ll have a video out on this topic and answer all your questions. I hope you don’t mind waiting. 🙏🏻
