I have killed my ego. What does that mean? To understand this we need to understand what actually is ego. What most people think about ego is something like Oxford’s dictionary “a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance”. However, ego means ourselves. Let’s make thing more easy, we always say “This is my body, this is my hands, this is my head, this is my brain”, but who actually are you? In this case, ego means you.

Ego + Death? Killing myself? Nahh get the hell out, you suicidal haha. Ego death is letting go of your sense of identity, killing your identity. Then Jeffrey will be asking then what am i going to be if i have an ego death. Well, you will have a new identity which is an improvement of yourself.

This it this way, the snake is shedding their skin and have a better one. Same goes to human spiritually. The first thing about going into ego death, you will be in a “kind of” depression stage where your life seems to be not going anywhere. After that your mind is scrambled and jammed, but after a few days or can be even week, you will return as a person with better clarity.

Ego death can have positive and negative side effects, depending on how a person controlling their life.
