Venting Had a "mini ego death" after meditation. No drugs. It felt a lil bad to be honest.

Today while meditating I felt what felt like several voices speaking in my head. I guess in this case it would be more appropriate to say that instead of voices, it could surely be the same voice, but speaking in terms of different emotions. There was Fear speaking, there was another one giving advice, and those are the ones I remember. Later, after I had stopped meditating, Motivation said that I should not let life beat me. It is as if one is not really the architect of one's thoughts, as if the emotions do the thinking for one.

The question “What am I?” came up. If I wasn't those voices, then who was I?, am I nothing?, “I” never existed? My body began to contort, and I felt weird. It wasn't pleasureable to be honest, but I did not feel any sadness nonetheless.

ego death is a meme and people who brag about it usually got it through brain damage

if you drill a hole into someone's Wernicke's area and have them sit down they'll think they're one with their clothes, the chair, the floor, with you, the whole room and the universe.

that being said those voices aren't you. They're either entities or trauma-induced dissassociative fragments of yourself

Interesting perspective.

Yes, they are a recollection of all the information adquired in order to defend myself from the trauma caused by an illness.
