My personality has changed so much! I speak up for myself now and am no longer a people pleaser. I don’t put up with much when before I’d let others treat me like crap. I do miss parts of my old self. The fun, outgoing girl who could travel and do anything. Seems like I have a lot more anxiety and fears than before. Still have days where I feel like I’m going insane.
I’m in liminal space. Job loss, major geographical move. Whatever happened to me beginning 4/30/2022 has been tectonic and on-going. That much I know is true. My wife knows something massive happened but doesn’t like it when I even use the term Ego Degradation. Thanks for taking the time to articulate it. Quick Hello to your TF guy as well. 🌊
@@Mya_9393 thanks for the reply. I can empathize. Yes. Brutal is the word. I mean I could go on about specifics. The very nature of being drawn to Alexx’s videos and taking time to respond, I know you get it. Sorry it’s been brutal for you too. Maybe eventually there will be enough of us to have a new language and a better roadmap for the brutal nature of awakening. I try to be kind to myself. I don’t mean that in a glib way either. Super kind. As I let the chips fall where they may and everything slowly gets dismantled I’ll be kind to myself. 🌌
@stephenanthonythomas3533 interesting, yeah I don't know how to interpret my chart at all. I just had it done a few days ago. But yeah, I say 5/1 because it was after midnight, it was the wee hours of the morning. Crazy.
I definitely felt something different especially,my attachment towards people, material things ...ect and it's scary idk why I feel like I won't enjoy life anymore.😢
I’m just coming out of “what makes me happy?”. In the past, so much of what we did was based on keeping the ego happy. Companionship, validation, etc. Nothing matters. It is what it is. I found intuition/ higher self has the answers. Go for a walk and ask your higher self: what do I want to do? The answers will come. You have to trust. Blessings of peace and love to you. ❤️🙏♾
As painful and triggering it has been, I am really glad that I've had an ego degradation because the new version of my personality is so much more authentic, fearless, child-like and aware. I feel like how I used to feel as a child only with heightened awareness and a nous of the knowledge I seek has been within me all along. Thanks for this Alex. 💞💞
I've been hearing the 'house on sand' analogy a lot recently, and have been focusing on acceptance not resistance a lot as well. This shared consciousness we are never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for saying exactly what I needed to hear today. 🙏🧘🏼♂️🫶
Holy fuck, thank you for aligning with, and verbalizing what I've been realizing lately! I'm still in that wibbly-wobbly phase, and it's weird as all hell. 😅💞
My ego ate up all your twin flame videos because it needed to create the concept of twin flames to cope with the loss of someone. But this video I truly resonated with.
Lol, somewhere in the middle of this ego degradation I had an ego death experience. For a week or so after that my poor mind was BLOWN over the synchronicity of having the experience of knowing "I" dont exist and also being named Mya (pronounced just like Maya) and recognizing that "I" am the illusion.... it can still mess with my head... Great video!! Thanks!
I have found myself detached from people and outcomes. I fear very less now and on the way to work on my passion. A lot of changes are coming since ego degradation
I think I have changed somewhat. I am less judgmental. I realize others have their own opinions, even if they make no sense to me. (You do you, Boo). I am still direct, no bs, no drama. I can still cut ties if folks try to harm me or my loved ones. I have more time now for my softer, calmer side. This is how I like to be. I realize I no longer have to be a "fighter" like I did growing up. My twin once described me as " forward " and "earthy". Yes, I am down to earth and authentic. He is quite different. Lol. (At least he was when I knew him. Now I don't know).
I went through a continual ego degradation after I read the book, “ The Kybalion.” A year ago. This book made me change my whole thoughts of being a victim and victim mentality. To understanding that we are empowered with our thoughts. “ The All is mind. The Universe is mental. As above so below, as below so above.”
As a mother of two small children, my ego degradation left me feeling guilty and lost. Like I wasn’t a good mom because my ego wasn’t putting up these fake walls of what I thought “mom of 2” had to mean for me. After ego degradation, I feel a lot more empowered. The best way I can explain it is as if I was a piece of technology that just got the newest software upgrade after being 3 versions behind. I’ve unlocked so much more spiritually and I’m slowly getting more well equipped to handle things when my ego gets in the way of things
I’m a little confused. I feel like my life has been one big ego degradation. My twin has been a big help with letting go. My wife had become condescending when I wasn’t who she thought I was. Now I just am what I am. I do what I like and call others out on conditional love: obligations, expectations, attachments, pity, impatience. I don’t FEEL like I had an ego degradation. Yet here I am, focused on love and compassion for all. Not waiting for my twin, yet focused on love for “we”. I guess my ego is trying to find a way back into focus. Again… Thank you for your excellent guidance. ❤️🙏♾
I m at this point where I don't know who I am anymore, open to anything and at the same time not attached to anything/anyone and feeling all is pointless. I m happy I ve found your channel as you re the first I person that can actually give a "meaning" to all this absurd journey and draw some parallels, highlight patterns etc. and at the same time you avoid all these jargon terms. A bit out of context but while I could say I m at a good place now, I still struggle with some parts of the journey. For example who is who regarding the soul family and more importantly I get that the twin s role is the physical "catalyst" for the cognitive recognition that we are the same energy/thing, i resonate with every part of the video on twin flame sign feeling wiser and "lighter", seeing everything more clear and all these little things we cant really explain to others (also linked to clairsenses), felt like we re "one and forever" when together and at the same time not knowing what i feel for him who he is to me, BUT I miss the link with the runner's role, i cant grasp why the journey is mutual for example or why he felt the energy/interaction too. He could just for example consider me a very intense crazy person with tons of imagination. Also, sometimes the resemblance of this journey/awakening to symptoms of bipolar/psychosis/BPD (aka loose associations, signs, hypomania, rewriting history to protect ourselves etc.) makes me doubt and worry I m not taking care of myself (although I ve consulted mental health professionals)
I totally understand all of this, and I think my videos on Ego Degradation might help you (they're on my Ego playlist and I have another one coming out Wednesday). The Runner feels the energy because otherwise they wouldn't stay in your life long enough to trigger you and allow you to heal. It's always about YOU, just remember that.
How are u always on point I been truu plenty of ego degradation and every time I feel different and have a different perspective of things I don’t feel like I am the same person as I used to be
It can feel lonely as others can be uncomfortable with the "different" you they are experiencing. But we know that feeling, like all, is ego based and not enduring.
😐 Me listening to Alexx recant my past five years… Thanks for some validation as always. Still fumbling forward. Appreciating your work as always. Looking into joining your patreon.
this reminds me of one of my favorite songs called 'marsha, thankk you for the dialectics but i need you to leave' by will wood. some of the lyrics: "you're not your thoughts, you're not your brain, you're just the character you've made..."
Have you ever seen anyone be able to lie to themselves effectively* and “dodge” a life upheaval? Feels like that would bring on a heart attack eventually or make a person delete themselves…That would’ve been my fate I’m 100%convinced
Alexx, I would very much be interested in hearing more about your personal journey. I know you’ve written a book on the soul family, but do you have any more writings of a poetical/memoiristic nature? I had my first ego death when I was living in China, 11/23/08. The days after were so disorienting that I thought I was literally born as a new person; that I was an infant and didn’t understand anything of the world. It took four years to really come into this new being though. I’m going through a second significant ego degradation now, though it’s been my experience that after that first one sixteen years ago, the ego is in a constant process of degrading/dying by degrees. In truth, I welcome it. ‘Ego degradation’ has no negative connotation whatsoever. Thank you for speaking on this, and please let me know if you’ve written about your experiences. -Amaya
Amaya (beautiful name, by the way), you can find some of my other writings on my website under "Press," and I am currently writing a full-length book about Ego Degradation specifically. All of my best and highest vibrations to you during your current one. You're doing great!
Great question. The book I am currently writing is on Ego Degradation, but I have a few videos on calming the Ego and I will have some coming out in October on detoxing the mind.
@@wearethesamenergy I'm so goddamn excited to read your upcoming book. And I will watch the videos that you made on calming down one's ego. Thanks. And apart from that, exerting love to the transcendent for being able to attract and manifest you in the 3D realm.
I'm so not sure how to word this, but what "causes" the ego to have different levels of ego degradation? What causes the ego to have an ego death vs. a "lighter" form of ego degradation? This video made me realize I most definitely had an ego degradation, but it wasn't a huge ego death nor was it a big enough degradation where loved ones asked "who are you now?" It was more so just like an "embracing more of what I 'am'" degradation.
@wearethesame i have question in last November 2023, my twin flame got into a situation where her family pressurized her to marry a guy who belongs to her extended family... Me and my twinflame had already started discussing to marry eachother but before we could finalize to marry in this year around September... in last December 2024 situation changed bcoz of the pressure from her parents, she broke communication with me... Ghosted me... I was In complete darkness what happened to her whether she got married or avoided it... A month back she returned and said her mom is hospitalized so want me to pray for her... I asked what happened to u married or not...? She said not married she seemed to be still connected to me emotionally but then again she ghosted and stopped communication... She is in contact with the other guy... What u suggest, what i should do in this situation? And will she make efforts for our union or will accept the other guy???
Hey, is it really necessary that someone has to say that you hv changed? I mean, you can self validate that you are feeling different? how we differentiate ego degradation from mood swings? thanks in advance.
No one has to say that you've changed, I don't understand your question? If you don't recognize whether it's a mood swing or Ego Degradation, it's not an Ego Degradation.
I meant, sometimes you might be going through a phase where you tried everything and now you are tired, how to differentiate that you are going through a ego degradation due to twin flame journey or its just a phase? If it makes sense, thank you
Another grapple: After embracing ego degradation consciously through my soulmates and genuinely after becoming non-attached and boundless, the purpose of the relationships with my specific soulmates are fulfilled that caused the ego degradation, then what should I do? Cut off our relationship completely in the 3D? Because very recently the purpose of the relationship with my soulmate A Pet (A cat named Sanah) is fulfilled, (As I reached the ego degradation) then What should I do, throw him outta the house or somethin' if he isn't being dissapeared from my life in the 3D? (Yk what I mean.) A MORE ARTICULATED VERSION OF THE QUESTION: Is it what the higher self wants us to do if we, after reaching ego degradation, still maintain relationships in the 3D (With soulmates or karmics) but this time, without egoic needs and the hell it accompanies or the Higher Self demands the termination of our relationships in the 3D completely?
Just to be clear so no one misunderstands: Pets or animals as Soulmates will leave your life when they are meant to. They are Soulmates there for support, and they did not have a conscious choice to be brought in your life, so we do not treat them like chattel (I know you know this). You always have the choice of who you keep in your life and how you interact with them. The Higher Self just wants growth and expansion. When you get to a point where you've truly learned the lessons, you won't care whether these people are in your life or not.
Glad you mentioned not liking our job being ok... but where do we go from here it's the hardest part.. all of these society rules of having a job because you need to pay the bills and so on are a constant reminder of the old beliefs ... I just wanna do things when I feel like doung them, not for money, and it's hard.. any advice would be much appreciated from anyone - thank you 🙏🫶
Through all of this, my personality hasn't changed much. My sense of humor is the same. I've just grown more confident as I learned to love myself.
My personality has changed so much! I speak up for myself now and am no longer a people pleaser. I don’t put up with much when before I’d let others treat me like crap.

Phobias are incredibly common after an Ego Degradation.
