I know of ego death and it is surprisingly comforting when the self that is me ceases. I was just rather caught off guard by the rebirth portion as not all of my trips have involved it to this degree. Language always takes a few minutes to come back fully not until my last two trips, senses were pretty much back immediately.

Although I am rather new to it all so I guess with time, it will become more like a step in the process and will be more expected and welcomed.
