It occurred to Mr Campion that what Mr Rigget really needed was some sort of reverse process of psycho-analysis. To know the truth about oneself, if it were both unpleasant and incurable, must be a variety of hell, he decided.

According to Michel Serres, the only modern question is: what is it you don’t want to know about yourself?

-- Adam Phillips

[quotelr]

Perception of a self is not simply about actuality. Human beings’ identities are self-generating and people constantly revise and recreate the story of their being. Coming-into-being, not being, is the highest expression of reality. We only attain the fullest knowledge of a living thing including ourselves when we know what it was, understand what it now is, and understand what it can become. We do not know the truth of a living thing’s existence until we discern its entire history from development to demise.

“In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.⁠”
