If I may be frank, from my perspective, the accounts of different me's and selves is a tall story. I have no notions at all of a 'higher self'. In this thread I refer to Tolles definition of ego: A false sense of self created by identification with mind. I am the observer (and the observed in self reflection).

Maybe the suicidal thoughts are some kind of message from your higher self referring to "kill" (transform) the ego (the lower self). What I mean is that you could be experiencing a transformation phase, which is exciting

These kind of transformations are really difficult but they're a 100% worth it.

I don't experience suicidal thoughts myself, but I refer to Tolle's account of his experience with it.

P.s. Please no hugs icons for me.
