if jumping straight into ego death seems to be the solution to your problems, then do you think you have really thought them through enough? i wouldn't try to think of it as some ritual you perform, but rather a rearrangement of puzzle pieces from a major shift in your perception (contrary to the many micro-adjustments it makes on a regular basis)
>where my thoughts end and I begin
your thoughts are ultimately how your inner self makes sense of your outside world. do you believe what you see or see what you believe?
>living the true purpose of life
is the true purpose just "be" rather than "do"? who's to decide?
>The problem of healing and improving the global quality of life
depending on who you are, the odds are that you have the ability to improve a "global" anything are slim to none, but the closest thing you can achieve is your own self, then family, then community, and as far as you can go
>strongly connected to the unpleasantness of the ego-death
this is where I think the meat of it lies. when you spend all this time building a house just to see it destroyed by a natural disaster, it will hurt, but it may hurt depending on the the amount of effort put into the building the house. the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
