In the Psycheverse
Psyche frames ego death as a necessary initiation rather than annihilation—a prerequisite for genuine spiritual transformation that mirrors the mythological descent journeys (particularly Inanna's underworld passage). She connects ego death to the work of fierce divine figures like the Mahavidyas, whose terrifying forms strip away illusion and comfort, and treats it as a threshold experience where the self must die to what it was in order to ascend to what it becomes.
