Frozen Assassins

Metaphorical Narrative

Imagine walking a familiar road.
Figures stand on both sides, locked in attack posture, glass daggers raised.
Yet they are frozen, suspended in time.
You lift your hand, and the daggers shatter into harmless shards.
The path remains yours to walk.

Core Insight

These assassins are vigilance scripts — recorded roles from the past.
They trigger when the environment resembles those memories, but in reality they hold no power.
Your brain confuses posture for threat, and attention animates them.

The moment you notice and gesture — a breath, a wave, a label — the glass breaks.
Awareness dismantles their strength, returning you to the road.

Saturday Experiment

• When vigilance shows up, pause and make a small hand gesture, as if brushing glass aside.
• Whisper: “Frozen cast.”
• Take two slow breaths and continue your task.

Sunday Reflection

Write in third person:

• When did the assassins appear this week?
• What gesture or breath shattered them?
• How did they experience walking on, unbothered?
