For me, acid always strips away my ego and lets me see the world clearly. It's easily one of the best experiences I've had, because seeing something like that is so different from what I'm used to seeing, thinking, and feeling. And like dezire said, your ego is a seperate dream of who the real "you" is, and I feel that drugs like shrooms and acid work wonders for "waking" people up from this surreal ego trip and see the world for what it is, as well as what you are as a person.
