The Mirror That Burns

Your ego isn’t some spiritual concept floating in mystical space.

It’s the suit of armor you’ve welded to your skin. You think it protects you, but it’s crushing you to death.

The ego isn’t something you can meditate away or love into submission. You need power tools for this job. Look in the mirror. That reflection you see? That’s not you — that’s the kill zone. Everything you think you are, everything you believe about yourself, every story you tell about your life — those are the targets.

The ego isn’t hiding in some cosmic cave waiting to be discovered through drumming circles and yoga retreats. It’s right there, staring back at you…

…wearing your face.

The Weapon of Choice

You want to know the truth? Writing is your chainsaw.

Not the fancy literary kind where you compose poems about your feelings.

I mean the raw, bleeding-edge kind where you capture every thought that claims to be “you” and dissect it under stadium lights. Your journal isn’t a diary — it’s an autopsy report. Every page should be covered in the gore of demolished beliefs.
