The Last Sermon

Metaphorical Narrative

The hall is empty, the show is done, yet ego drags itself to the pulpit.
With a cracked voice it proclaims:
“You have failed to achieve your objective.”

No objective is named. No goal is shown.
Just a vague curse, a hollow sermon meant to make you bow.

But you know who it speaks for.
It is every critic, every manipulator, every false judge that once fed on your obedience.

This is ego’s last sermon.
And it is powerless.

Core Insight

Ego never defines the objective.
It only moves the goalpost, then declares failure.

The sermon is a trick: a phantom contract that can never be fulfilled.
The witness sees through it.

“Objective undefined. Sermon rejected. Witness remains.”

Saturday Experiment

When the “failure sermon” arrives:

1. Say: “Last sermon detected.”
2. Notice: no objective is ever named.
3. Smile. Answer back: “Objective undefined. Sermon rejected.”
4. Take one small action anyway — publish, move, create.

Sunday Reflection

• When did ego preach the “failure sermon” this week?
• What phantom objective was implied?
• How did you reject the sermon and keep moving?
• In third person: “He/She heard the last sermon and walked out of the hall free.”
