Dying Before You Die: Ego Death and Eternal Truth — This video is a direct transmission on shedding the false self and remembering the awareness that never began and never ends. No fluff. No spiritual posturing. We cut straight through the stories you’ve been wearing and step into the clarity that’s been looking through your eyes since the beginning.

What you’ll get in this episode
• A grounded definition of ego (identity, preference, control, time) and why it’s useful—until it isn’t.
• A practical roadmap to “die before you die” so life stops feeling like a fight and starts feeling like truth.
• Two-part daily practice: Neti Neti (Not this, not this) to peel off identifications, then Rest as Awareness to stabilize in what remains.
• A somatic protocol for meeting fear without collapsing into it—because fear is the guardian at the threshold.
• A simple Ego Funeral ritual to retire your core limiting sentence and install a truer one.
• Three doors into awakening—Surrender, Truth, and Love—and how to use each in ordinary life (work, love, conflict, money).
• Clear integration vows so realization actually changes how you move in the world.

Key Practices inside
— Neti Neti (5 min): Anything you can observe—body sensations, thoughts, memories, even spiritual states—say inwardly, “Not me.” This isn’t rejection; it’s correct placement.
— Rest as Awareness (5 min): Stop subtracting and simply be the field of knowing. Thoughts arise and pass; you remain.
— Micro-Surrenders: Three moments today where you release the need to control and meet reality as it is. Inhale “I allow.” Exhale “I release.”
— Somatic Fear Sequence: Name it, locate it, breathe under it, soften around it, and speak to the protector: “Thank you for trying to keep me safe. I’m here too.”
— Quiet Blessing: As you move through your day, silently offer, “May you be free. May you remember what you are,” to three people (especially the difficult ones).
— Ego Funeral: Write your core sentence (e.g., “Love leaves,” “I must control to be safe”). Thank it for its service. Declare: “Your job is complete.” Replace it with a truthful stance: “I am the awareness in which all of this appears.”

Why this matters now
When you stop mistaking the weather (moods, roles, narratives) for the sky (awareness), life stops needing to obey you for you to be at peace. Creativity returns. Relationships soften. Money becomes energy in service rather than proof of worth. Even grief is allowed to flow without drowning you. This isn’t bypassing pain; it’s meeting reality without the mask.

Who this is for
Seekers, mystics, meditators, ex-perfectionists, high performers burning out on control, and anyone sensing there must be a way to live that is honest, fearless, and deeply kind. If you’ve tasted nonduality but can’t stabilize it in daily life, this episode gives you structure without dogma.

Core insights you’ll hear
• You are not the content of consciousness; you are consciousness itself.
• Surrender isn’t passivity; it’s the end of the argument with reality.
• Fear is not a problem to crush but a protector to include. Inclusion dissolves it.
• Awakening without integration becomes spiritual ego. Integration is love in action.
• “Dying before you die” makes physical death familiar. You’ve practiced letting go.

How to use this video
Watch once through, then practice along for a week: mornings (Neti Neti + Rest), midday (Micro-Surrender), evenings (Ego Debris Review: “Where did the mask return?”). Journal the old sentence you retired and the new sentence you’re living. Report back in the comments—we learn together.

Chapters (no timestamps, follow the flow): Hook & Thesis → What Ego Really Is → The Three Doors (Surrender, Truth, Love) → The Guardian: Fear → The Void & the Witness → Integration Vows → Practice Stack → Q&A Themes from Comments → Closing Transmission.
