Alright. I'm 'awakening,' which in my case is EQUIVALENT to 'going insane.'

Imagine if you were a celebrity, dude. Everybody watching you constantly and having no private life. You'd have to be like "That was the old me, this is the new me." And that's exactly what they do.

Reminds me of this:

(80.10)
It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.
