“The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.”
— Meister Eckhart
We often imagine seeing and being seen as two separate movements: I look for God; God looks at me. Yet it may be that the division is not as firm as it seems. Beneath the roles we perform and the selves we manage, there may be a quieter place of awareness — what some call the True Self, what others call Reality or Presence. From here, seeing does not feel divided. The one who looks and the one who is looked upon appear less separate than we thought.
Living from this place may not require dramatic insight or withdrawal from life. It can show up in small shifts — a pause before speaking, listening without rehearsing a reply, letting attention settle without trying to control what appears. In those moments, effort sometimes gives way to something steadier. Not the self straining to get it right, but a way of being that already participates in the seeing itself.
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.
