Teaser

The ego is a brilliant trick — convincing, loud, and endlessly busy, yet made of nothing solid.

We spend our lives defending a character we mistake for the whole person.

This series looks at how the ego appears, why it feels so real, and what happens when you see through it without trying to destroy it.

The result isn’t the loss of self, but the loss of pretending.

Quote

"The ego isn’t who you are — it’s the echo of who you think you should be."
