"I said to the almond tree, 'Speak to me of God.' And the almond tree blossomed."
— Nikos Kazantzakis, Report to Greco
The response in this image is not words. It is not explanation or argument. The tree simply does what it does—and that, Kazantzakis suggests, is answer enough. There is no doctrine here, no theology to accept or reject. Only something alive doing what it is made to do.
We sometimes expect the sacred to arrive as clarity—a feeling we can identify, an insight we can carry with us. But it may come more often as this: a moment of ordinary life so fully itself that something in us stills. The blossoming may not prove anything. It may not resolve anything. But there it is—unhurried, complete, indifferent to whether we were ready for it.
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.
