"The ineffable inhabits the magnificent and the common, the grandiose and the tiny facts of reality alike."
—Abraham Joshua Heschel, Man Is Not Alone
Self-will tends to sort things into categories—important and unimportant, sacred and ordinary, worth attending to and worth moving past. A commute, a cup of coffee, a conversation that goes nowhere in particular. These tend to fall on the unimportant side, things to get through on the way to something that actually counts.
What Heschel points toward may gently undo that sorting. The tiny facts of reality—a patch of light on a wall, the sound of rain, the particular way someone laughs—may already be holding something that the important things do not. Not because we have learned to see them differently, but because they were never as ordinary as we thought.
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.
