I’m looking for others... 5s who have experienced ego death. My experience has changed my Enneagram so I’m looking here in a case that it’s changed for other 5s as well. Im INFJ but I’m not excluding this from other type 5s. So if any of you 5s or former 5s see this please connect with me? Any Mbti

It was natural ego death. The process was about a year through the beginning stages were at the end of last year. I began making changes near a year ago by changing behaviors to produce different outcomes. Einstein’s wisdom. Perhaps he experienced this as well. I believe it’s likely that Joseph Campbell experienced this and Carl Jung though his may have been in part drug induced. I have fibromyalgia and had broken my knee; didn’t see the surgeon till 10 days after... this and being a 5 I had wanted to be free of my body for a while. The experience is something that I accepted. I wasn’t aware of what I was experiencing at first. There was a moment of love and light my body left me. After my body was coming and going which wasn’t pleasant but oddly enough when my body pretty much returned for good there was a disappointment. I dealt with insecurities, fears, my worst fear. The reason I had lived in my mind from a young age. Realizing what this process is I have been mindful of attachments but at some point so many changes in my future had occurred and there’s a chain reaction. I’m aware though.
