"I have learned things in the dark that I could never have learned in the light, things that have saved my life over and over again."
— Barbara Brown Taylor, Learning to Walk in the Dark
We are often trained to move toward the bright and the clear — to fix the dim, illuminate the uncertain, stay where things can be evaluated and managed. Darkness, in that framework, is something to overcome rather than something to inhabit.
But some things may only become visible when ordinary seeing is interrupted. Confusion, disorientation, or simply not knowing what comes next — these can feel like failures of the path rather than part of it. And yet sometimes it is there, in the unlit places, that something genuine begins to form. Not because difficulty is noble, but because control has temporarily loosened its grip.
Egos Anonymous is offered in an experimental spirit—an invitation to see whether there’s interest in a shared way of working with ego, self-will, and control. The language, structure, and practices are still forming and are meant to grow through lived experience.
This is a soft launch. The hope is to eventually gather a year of reflections into a book, but for now they’re simply being shared—one day at a time—to see what resonates.
If something feels useful, confusing, incomplete, or off, feedback is welcome and genuinely appreciated. This work is meant to be shaped together.
