The Observer’s Torch

Metaphorical Narrative

Ego lurks in shadows, whispering fear. But when you raise a torch, the trick collapses. The same shadow that terrified you is nothing but a coat on a chair.

Observation makes monsters ordinary.

Core Insight

Ego relies on confusion and darkness. EF override is shining the torch of attention — observing, labeling, exposing. What’s seen clearly loses power.

Saturday Experiment

1. When fear whispers, pause: “Torch on.”
2. Observe the thought like an object.
3. Watch fear shrink under light.

Sunday Reflection

• What fears dissolved under observation today?
• Did labeling change their size?
• How did the torch strengthen presence?
