The Loss of the Ego Self in Addiction Healing

The connection with self to me has often felt like a transcendence of self almost as if in a lot of the psychedelic medicine work that I've done you get a sense of loss of self. It's almost like you have to lose these stories about your identity identify as something greater than that and then become your new self which you can be connected to. To get the true self you do have to use the new self which is what Jesus talked about by the way when he talked about unless you're born again you can't enter the kingdom of God.
