In that tremendous flash of freedom, on my way to do The Thing for the first time, sanctioned by Almighty Harry, I receded, faded back into the scenery of my own dark self, whole the other me crouched and growled. I would do It at last, do what I had been created to do. And I did.
Jeff LindsayThe self is constituted within a variety of arenas and in relation to multiple traditions. Self-hood, on this understanding, is both provisional and open-ended, and critically depends on the configuration of relationships between one’s own groups and those cultures and values that are deemed ‘other’. The regulation of alterity becomes a defining attribute of self-hood, as my sense of who I am is crucially mediated by an understanding of that which I am not (paraphrasing William Connolly).

I wanted to stay... me.
Kelly KeatonMan is originally characterized by his "search for meaning" rather than his "search for himself."

And the more he is immersed and absorbed in something or someone other than himself the more he really becomes himself.

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
Don’t be surprised by your greatness. Be surprised that no one expected it.

But I will confess that I began as an astronomer—a liking for bright flashes, vast distances, unreachable things, a hand stretched always toward the furthest limit— and that my longing for you has not taken me very far from that original desire to inscribe a comet’s orbit around the walls of our city, to gently stroke the surface of the stars.

Most of the tools from medieval times were extensions of the physical self. Tools are now extensions of the mental self.

I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange.

When I fell in love it was as though I looked into a mirror for the first time and saw myself.
