Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.

Down vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their last fortunes deplore.
Light doth but shame disclose.

Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled;
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days, my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.

From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown;
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts, for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.

Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.

How do I experience ego death? I want to be a better person. Elevated beyond the clutches of what people call "human nature." Lacking anger or hatred. A paragon of humanity.

Ego death won't make you a "better" person in conventional terms. If anything, indifference to your own suffering will make you indifferent to that of others.

That's not what ego-death entails at all. Ego-death is the dissolution of one's sense of personhood, which automatically causes them to see all others as themselves, since there is no filter of individuality to see from and through. Thereby one not only perceives the suffering of others, but sees it as if it were one's own. It doesn't leave you indifferent, but an empty vessel filled with empathy, which is quite the opposite. And I speak this all from experience, not mere recitation.

>When a soul has advanced so far on the spiritual road as to be lost to all the natural methods of communing with God; when it seeks Him no longer by meditation, images, impressions, nor by any other created ways, or representations of sense, but only by rising above them all, in the joyful communion with Him by faith and love, then it may be said to have found God of a truth, because it has truly lost itself as to all that is not God, and also as to its own self.

>Knowing yourself as truly one and indestructible, how could a wise man possessing self-knowledge like you feel any pleasure in acquiring wealth? Truly, when one does not know oneself, one takes pleasure in the objects of mistaken perception, just as greed arises for the mistaken silver in one who does not know mother of pearl for what it is. All this wells up like waves in the sea. Recognising, “I am That,” why run around like someone in need?

>In the infinite ocean of myself the world boat drifts here and there, moved by its own inner wind. I am not put out by that. Whether the world wave of its own nature rises or disappears in the infinite ocean of myself, I neither gain nor lose anything by that. It is in the infinite ocean of myself that the mind-creation called the world takes place. I am supremely peaceful and formless, and I remain as such. My true nature is not contained in objects, nor does any object exist in it, for it is infinite and spotless. So it is unattached, desireless and at peace, and I remain as such. I am pure consciousness, and the world is like a magician’s show. How could I imagine there is anything there to take up or reject?

Try reading the primary texts of the areas of eastern philosophy that involve dissolution of the ego, e.g. Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Tantra and to some extent Daoism. They answer almost every question. In Indian thought in particular in multiple schools it's not uncommon for texts to just consist of a dialogue between two people where a disciple asks a master a bunch of questions and is then provided with detailed answers.

I have yet to reach high enough level of tether mastery to untetherself. My tetheredself is a tethered being who by the its very nature possess the process of selfinterpretation which in action and interaction of other untheteredsouls of the past geist is able to breach into obscure ideas of hermeneutics and phenomenology and as such achieve another dinglevel in the neverachieving endevoir of untethering self from self and become part of the spiritreal.

Atm I am level 87 tethered spiritboi (measured by ordinal scale and defined as process so I can apply fruity statistics of the third patriarchy), I predict I will ding 88 soon sometimes when the inevitable collapse of the western metanarrative of antinarrativity escalates and the bulls reach the peak numbers while their sophist overlords criticize the theory of the cumman.

This is my lifeworld now, a stronk empowering art of necrofantasy witchcraft by a meme mage of the circle of cleansing fire.

I'm scared, guys. As a child, and in my teen years, I had no desire for anything. I didn't want anything at all that was normal for other young people - even into my 20s, I felt disconnected from the world and its spectacle. Lately, however, I've grown to like things - I enjoy and crave foods, I want nice clothes, I enjoy the company of women, and I loathe being alone with my thoughts. This change in me has me scared. I don't understand why it happened, and I don't know how to go back.

I always feared becoming like other people, and falling in line with the systems of life. I hated the thought of wanting things, falling in love, building a family, and just living. Even the thought of it used to weigh heavy on me. But lately, these ideas seem appealing. I dislike this change. I no longer feel like I can trust my mind.
