“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”
— Ram Dass
Step One isn’t about humiliation. It’s about honesty. It’s the moment you begin to notice how noisy the ego is — how busy it is trying to arrange the universe so you can feel safe. Always adjusting, always bracing, always rehearsing the next move. That constant managing is exhausting, and it keeps you from hearing the deeper current that’s already moving through your life.
When you admit you’re powerless over that need to control, something softens. You don’t fall apart. You fall into listening. And in the quiet that follows — even briefly — you may begin to sense that you’re not the one running the show. There’s a deeper presence here, holding you, guiding you, loving you, even when you forget.
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.
