Ego explosions occur when the "oxygen" of consciousness fills the "room" of the [[Physical Unit]] in a quality or quantity for which the [[Bodily Ego]] is not prepared. When a [[Connection]] is made, the fire of Consciousness lights up the room.  If sparks from that fire contact the combustible detritus of toxic life experiences  (i.e. ideology, fear, misconception, guilt, and shame), an ego explosion can result. The ego explosion can be minor and leave you slightly frazzled, or it can be massive and leave your bodily ego totally destroyed (e.g. schizophrenia).
'''Endogenous to the LP'''


Damage to the bodily ego arising from toxic life experiences increases the likelihood of experiencing ego explosion.
