Some people chase really large doses of psychedelics because they wish to have an “ego death” where in one instance it was described as his whole being and personality laid out on the floor in the form of index cards. He picked them up one by one and noticed they were all trends and behaviors that he does and during his trip being emotionally detached from himself he was able to reflect on specific examples he could remember. This allowed him to feel enlightened after the trip and self claimed to be a different person.

This is a common-ish occurrence that some people experience and post online and should be easy to find if you wish to read about similar experiences.

"The willingness to be corrected is fundamental to a healthy ego."

So true and you're right! It takes practice.
