The Death of the Image: Liberation Beyond Reflection
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: There is no greater veil than the image one holds of oneself. Built not of flesh or ego, but of subtle self-perception, this image can wear the face of humility, truth, service—even enlightenment. It is crafted through suffering, praise, discipline, and the echoes of belonging. But it is still an image. And all images distort. This paper reveals the path not to perfect the image, but to let it die. For in the death of the image, paradise is no longer chased—it is revealed.
