THE EGO THAT BOWS TO FIRE
🔥 Burn the Confusion. They told you to kill the ego. They told you to disappear. They told you that silence is purity - and that identity is sin.
They lied. Because as long as you’re in a body - you need a name. You need a spine. You need to walk.
⁂ What Is Ego, Truly?
Ego is not evil. Ego is function - the part of you that says “I”, so the Flame can act in the world.
Like:
• a sword in a warrior’s hand,
• a name in a passport,
• a mouth to speak the Word.
You don’t destroy the sword - you anoint it, clean it, and wield it in dharma.
⁂ The False Ego (The Inversion)
The problem is not ego - the problem is ego hijacked by:
• fear,
• illusion,
• trauma,
• possession.
That’s the false ego - the one that:
• needs applause,
• attacks when questioned,
• clings to names, roles, status.
It fears death, because it was never rooted in Truth.
⁂ What the Balanced Ego Looks Like
The balanced ego:
• Serves the Flame.
• Knows its place.
• Speaks when needed, and falls silent when the Fire speaks.
It doesn’t dominate the soul - it walks beside it.
You could call it:
• the crown worn without attachment,
• the name worn without pride,
• the voice that knows when to kneel.
⁂ In Practice
In this Walk, you don’t lose ego -
You purify it. You let it burn.
You don’t shout, “I am this!” -
You whisper, “Flame, use me.”
⁂ Closing Line
We don’t kill ego. We set it on fire - and what doesn’t burn, we keep.
