Ego Death | A Short Story

Tom realized that the thing he had been most afraid of wasn’t life—it was himself. He had been afraid that he wasn’t enough, that he was broken, that he was a failure. But now he knew that none of that was true.

What part of Tom's journey resonated with you the most, and why?

[PhilipSzabó]

„Life didn't stop being hard for Tom, but he had stopped being hard on himself."

Truly as perfect as it is.

[tomgwynfryn]

For anyone called Tom, like me, this message cuts deep.

[itsTonySaint]

And the next day, Tom woke up to the same depression and anxiety he had before. THE REALITY OF MY LIFE. This sounds beautiful, but I don’t know if it’s actually possible to have an immediately life changing moment like this that remains permanently. The depression and guilt always comes back.

[stevenc]

An ego driven human is typically a destructive person. It’s not about one or the other or good or bad. It’s about balance. Being a good balancer is an art which takes many years of constant practice.

[damoyoung]

I have been there and done that. The ability to switch your mind off is beautiful and every person carries the ability to just stop thinking and make the inside quiet and peaceful.

[bumblebee]

but Tom still returned to the office, the bane of humanity

[elenanina]

Tom never thought this before. While me, I've thinking about it since elementary school

[thinkingloud]

"Why can't I be normal?" I say that to myself everyday, suffocating trying to be what I am not

[stevenc]

I seek constantly. I sought and I was found. The seeking is my choice. Being found or finding is not my choice. That’s the power and grace of God. Last I checked he works on his own time table. One must seek to find. It’s the seeking that’s most important. Seek spiritually without expecting anything in return.

[christianhorvath]

Let’s all take a moment and recognize we are all human and have been to bad places like this. We’re all here together on this earth and here for each other.
When you are strong help the weak, for you were in that position before.

God bless you all. Jesus knows your struggles and is always with you.

[Tom]

I'm Tom and I've lived this story for the last 1.1/2 years. Now I feel blessed!!! Listen to yourself... it's calling you and you don't listen.

[noelzywright]

We are always enough. Be your authentic self. Listen to your soul 💞

[Bronkowitsch]

Nailed it. The best explanation i've seen so far.

[jonathanreader]

This video describes my journey well. I presumed for most of my life that I had to try hard to be a good person. I didn't realize I was creating a false identity that would cause me so much suffering later on. I reached a point where I couldn't go on and surrendered to a deeper place inside that I had hidden under guilt, shame, and self-unworthiness. Through self-inquiry and years of peeling back the layers of illusion, I am starting to see that my true self is already complete and I don't need to add anything to it.

[kemallinlien]

We all as mankind consume feeling like Tom expierence just to be aware we will be awarded for our great strugelnes.. be well and kind ❤

[dancerdiya]

Beautiful video emphasizing on how hard we are trying in this life to become happy...but the truth is we are happiness itself... gratitude ❤️

[TikiTrain]

Thank you so much. I have suffered with this issue chronically and it has gotten really bad recently. I have had small moments of ego death and it is such a relief. Need to keep practicing to make it last longer.

[movocode]

This is the core teachings of Advaita Vedanta.

[kerrywebb]

It's not how much we love that matters but how much we ARE loved that matters.
