“Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it.”
— Simone Weil
Step Seven invites us to notice how full our hands are. They may be full of certainty, effort, self-protection, and the need to be right. Much of our striving can come from trying to secure ourselves, even when we are tired of holding everything together.
This step is not about becoming better or more virtuous. It’s about making room. As we loosen our grip—on control, on being right, on managing how we’re seen—we begin to sense that what we truly are does not need defending. Grace doesn’t arrive because we ask correctly. It arrives when we stop insisting on our own fullness.
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.
