Ego death is an experience sometimes undergone by psychonauts.

It can be brought on by the ingestion of psychedelics such as dimethyltryptamine, psilocybin/psilocin, mescaline, salvinorin A or LSD; though some religious practices or meditation practices claim to do the same using varying techniques..

It is characterized by the perceived loss of boundaries between the self encased in skin and possessing a physical body and environment as a whole, a sense of loss of control, and the loss of the accustomed feeling of existing as a personal agent.

This concept of disintegration and Oneness with the universe is part of the spiritual aspiration called Nirvana in eastern religions.
