Maybe there doesn't need to be an end goal, just the sense of fulfilment that you are progressing from who you were before

Though i still should have taken measurements and a picture to compare. Growing muscles is just too slow process for me to notice the change, but there is no end goal.

I didn't mean it in the literal sense. Having a representation of yourself in the past is a good way to measure your progress as you become the person you want to be

Just like James Clear says in Atomic Habits: "Every action is a vote for the person you wish to become."
1% is better than 0%. 🙏

It's funny because they have tied people down on top of it and let it grow through them.

This also happened right after he did a deep dive into Mithraic religions, which heavily influenced his hallucinations. Makes me curious about the connection schizophrenia might have with religious obsessions. Makes me wonder if historic Oracles/ shamans might have been schizophrenic individuals. They just happened to live in a society that appreciated it instead of stigmatized it. Who knows. Definitely not me.

Heck my take is society will actively push you to be what it wants at the expense of your true self. That may be changing slowly but cultural and familial expectations have led to a lot of people acting exactly as they thought the world was telling them and ending up miserable.

Your comment is more motivating than the quote to me.
Life or the world may tell you who you are but only if you know how to listen and don't confuse it with society telling you who it wants you to be.
Because that second bit is a trap that can kill identities and make for a miserable life.

The world can’t tell you something you can’t interpret. Back to square one. But many others have vested interests in getting you to believe “you” are something, so you might as well not know if you can handle not knowing.

I think the most interesting is the fact that he started to have schizophrenic thoughts and instead of talking to a colleague he decided to isolate himself and monitor all his thoughts and hallucinations in The Black Book.
