Another change that I experienced, and had no choice in, was to my sexuality. That isn’t supposed to be possible, but it happened. I was shocked by the change, but as I am not bigoted, I wasn’t against the change itself. I was, however, existentially shattered for a few weeks. I was rapidly changing in many ways. My body greatly reduced the amount of meat that I needed to eat, so I lost that, and I lost my sexuality. I knew how much I was changing, and I had no idea what change I would notice next. Most of the changes were internal though, so they didn’t directly affect my life. But what would be the next change to my personal identity? How was I supposed to relate to others if I could be a completely different person an hour after I share anything about myself? This still concerns me. | Another change that I experienced, and had no choice in, was to my sexuality. That isn’t supposed to be possible, but it happened.

This warning is the most important warning in this entire book. If you walk down this path, you have very little choice in who you will become, and neither does anyone else. You can improve greatly, and those improvements tend to be almost effortless, but you cannot predict, nor control, how you will change or what you will lose of what you currently consider part of your identity. My best friend knows more about my methods than anyone. They understand this risk and chose not to take this path at this time. I chose to take it, and I regret nothing. It’s awesome, it’s amazing, and the good more than makes up for the strange situations that I find myself in because of it. I love who I am, I | This warning is the most important warning in this entire book. If you walk down this path, you have very little choice in who you will become, and neither does anyone else.

The choice is yours. Do you want to be you, or do you want to be more? Your internal network is always there, and many of them likely hate their current life, even if you like it. It’s a kindness to work with them, and it would be good for all of you, but it’s up to you to choose what path you take. The choice is yours. | The choice is yours.
