| unpurified aspects are submerged in the largely purified personality. Your purified spirit can easily overlook small but | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| and be receptive to negative aspects of your personality that lie deeply buried and that need to | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| tuned in on the state of its total personality. However, as the memory is translated into the | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| aspects which come to the aid of the personality in the task of this life -- the | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| why the isolated, incarnated aspect of the total personality, manifesting in a body and an ego, must | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| The soul does not develop harmoniously when the personality works on that which is already free and | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| crisis. Such crisis would be avoided if the personality would focus on the undeveloped part. This is | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| The recreating process unfolds forevermore when the ego personality unites with the other aspects of self that | 208 THE INNATE HUMAN CAPACITY TO CREATE |
| on from the outside as the distorted, immature personality expects. Growth can only unfold from within, for | 209 THE ROSCOE LECTURE: INSPIRATION FOR THE PATHWORK CENTER |
| you in a very specific way. The individualized personality in the process of growth and expansion must | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| outwardly, to come to the point where the personality truly unites with the inner divine self, with | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| very negative level, this darker part of the personality. When this part remains hidden, you are split | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| wisdom to permeate it. In this process the personality realizes that there is nothing that is unimportant | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| operates even on those rare occasions when the personality forgets to establish the contact, when, perhaps, an | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| area might still flare up and push the personality in the wrong direction. The inner self is | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| not to follow such advice to the outer personality. This is already a state of grace. Confidence | 210 VISUALIZATION PROCESS FOR GROWING INTO THE UNITIVE STATE |
| anxious, afraid, victimized, and hopeless. Even if the personality still doubts, at this point, its own capacity | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| the wide, vast universe, and you as a personality stand on the borderline between this wide, vast | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| inner universe with these various aspects of your personality? You live in them alternately. The aspects you | 211 OUTER EVENTS REFLECT SELF-CREATION -- THREE STAGES |
| areas only. Or, you may be outwardly a personality type who wants above all to get along | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| may not be aware of even your overt personality aspect. But little by little, as you observe | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| the overt, then the covert side. When your personality is very adept in its chosen way of | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| your chosen way which is predominant in your personality, it is much harder for you to see | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| the fulfillment you long for, without which your personality cannot thrive. Step number three: commit yourself totally | 213 THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PRACTICAL MEANING OF LET GO, LET GOD |
| and tension, is the state that makes a personality susceptible to the ever-existing bliss of the universe | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| always a combination of two aspects of the personality. On the one hand there is the great | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| a blissful state, which a part of the personality remembers and desires, on the other, there is | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| heaven without being ready for it makes the personality plunge into hell. Meditational exercises are another way | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| of life which is supposed to prepare the personality for the experience. This, too, is every so | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| split. In fact, in such a case the personality was less split when it began than it | 215 PSYCHIC NUCLEAR POINTS CONTINUED -- PROCESS IN THE NOW |
| of consciousness of the disconnected aspect -- the personality -- and in this more ignorant and less | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| The same principle holds true of the unpurified personality. Thus, each entity deals differently with the fragmented | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| of course. The task always lies where the personality is still separate from the essence. It is | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| fulfillment. When the inner being permeates the outer personality, the task will be fulfilled. In this case | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| that no fear or pain is involved. The personality has developed a strong sense of the continuum | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| But this occurs, my friends, only when the personality learns to tune in to the inner being | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| three-dimensional reality. This awareness exists in the manifesting personality, which is only one aspect of your full | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| new aspect of task fulfillment begin. For no personality can go through life without letting others benefit | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| that something is being missed. Only when the personality understands and heeds the full meaning of the | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| the inner being in their outer consciousness. The personality then attempts to squelch this voice, to escape | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| development. It is quite possible that a fragmentary personality aspect, embodied in a physical vehicle, is not | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| is not highly developed at all. Nevertheless, this personality fulfills its task completely. The task is, of | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| inner self, the higher self and the ego personality, the will of the divine self and the | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| divided? Several possibilities exist. For example, if the personality stubbornly refuses to heed the guidance of the | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| follow the line of least resistance, the outer personality will have far less possibility of fulfilling the | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| so far from the plan intended for the personality that a new direction is impossible to establish | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| is wasteful, the suffering pointless, and the fragmented personality better served by starting over again. In such | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| the higher self. In these instances, the outer personality is totally unaware of the inner self's decision | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| prevailing circumstances. In such circumstances, when the outer personality fights against the inner being's decision, a tremendous | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| continue even into old age, because the outer personality uses its life force to battle the inner | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| for going inward to find out where the personality most needs self-work, so that the outer person | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| inner being decides for death and the outer personality resists it. In this instance, the outer personality | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| personality resists it. In this instance, the outer personality may indeed take a favorable direction where every | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| exists for the task fulfillment. Aspects of that personality may, however, cause so much trouble and so | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| in spite of the propitious circumstances, the outer personality may not want to live. The person may | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| whole is blurred. For example, if the outer personality refuses to give up stubbornness, the isolated areas | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| the psychic nuclear point so much that the personality finally believes in its hopelessness. Thus the outer | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| finally believes in its hopelessness. Thus the outer personality finds itself unwilling to move, even though it | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| impulses despite all its favorable manifestations. Thus the personality fragments itself so much that extremely destructive manifestations | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| and energies? Too much becomes pointless, and the personality aspect may just as well not have embodied | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| of your total entity will infuse the manifesting personality accordingly; that is, to the degree the plan | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| then becomes that much more difficult: The outer personality must make all the efforts; it has to | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| takes on its own momentum. When the outer personality has finished a series of embodiments in which | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| willfully going in the opposite direction, then the personality cannot feel its intrinsic connectedness and believes itself | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| energies from the inner being, interpenetrating the outer personality, is directly connected with the willingness to go | 216 CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INCARNATORY PROCESS AND THE LIFE TASK |
| to affect of a more highly developed human personality, but nevertheless there is an immense difference between | 217 THE PHENOMENON OF CONSCIOUSNESS |
| to follow the process by involving the ego personality rather than letting it stay behind. This is | 218 THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS |
| best I can. I recapitulate briefly: The manifest personality does not know what it knows -- whether | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| has been such a large element in my personality, to trying to listen to the other part | 220 REAWAKENING FROM PRE-INCARNATORY ANESTHESIA |
| have found that a substantial part of your personality functions on defensive negative premises. As you deeply | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| of having to face one day what the personality frantically avoids facing now. There is wishful thinking | 221 FAITH AND DOUBT IN TRUTH OR DISTORTION |
| permeates your inner being and that your outer personality can connect with if you so choose. My | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| separate piece of consciousness and energy, the separate personality, must be filed down, purified through experiences of | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| often get confused and stuck. Your consciousness or personality must make many choices in this world, including | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| disjointed way. This is often confusing for the personality. It gets tired of these separations and therefore | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| consist of much more than the immediate little personality. And you must also understand that this expansion | 223 THE ERA OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW CONSCIOUSNESS |
| God cannot be cheated. When you cheat, the personality may become seriously doubtful that anything beyond the | 224 CREATIVE EMPTINESS |
| about their phases as conditions within the human personality, but it is another to understand them within | 225 EVOLUTIONARY STAGES OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS |
| nevertheless it lurks in the soul until the personality has completely fused with divine reality. The fear | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| slow process. All of the soul and the personality have to be filled with truth, without any | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| source. You are the source. Even your present personality, your thinking and feeling, your being and experiencing | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| these things. Even if much of your manifest personality modifies itself, changing and expanding, all that you | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| and cannot not be, even to the limited personality as you know yourself now. It is what | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| forgiven and seen in context with the whole personality, but they must never be condoned. All this | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| of self-hate. That attitude becomes available to the personality if it can be perceived as a possibility | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| that is not an expression of the total personality which once enlivened and animated that cell. That | 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF |
| of interests between self and others. Such a personality can see no further than the immediate point | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| the new consciousness express itself through them, whose personality already embraces the new Christ consciousness, find areas | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| an attitude is in relation to your total personality. Just as you find yourself in inner strife | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| love, and what is divine reality, and the personality will act from that innermost center. This can | 227 CHANGE FROM OUTER TO INNER LAWS IN THE NEW AGE |
| to establish the longed-for balance with the surface personality, the result will be a flat, unsatisfying gesture | 228 BALANCE |
| break in consciousness can be bypassed if the personality is truly devoted to give all of itself | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| for the organic, real inner change that the personality denies. Because you fear real and deep change | 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN |
| grasping and understanding these laws and processes the personality cannot even begin to approach the road into | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| perceptions. The lower self is infuriated. The conscious personality may be completely unaware of what is taking | 231 NEW AGE EDUCATION |
| you are deeply involved, first with your own personality, then in conjunction with higher plans for others | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| and from that word all creation, including your personality, came into being. It is the blueprint behind | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| of a different kind. Every level of the personality is an expression of a different kind of | 233 THE POWER OF THE WORD |
| it to penetrate the mind of your conscious personality. In the limited state of perception of the | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| consciousness, and when you experience them on the personality level. I venture to say, my friends, it | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| both levels -- that of the conscious ego personality and that of the higher self. Along with | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| it comes from the level of the ego personality? What are the motives? What are the attitudes | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| Another distortion in striving for perfection on the personality level is the fear of inner imperfection, a | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| which may apply to specific aspects of the personality and not so much to the total personality | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| personality and not so much to the total personality -- implies a deep dishonesty on the part | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| blindly, because it has become structured into the personality. Because you refuse to face your deep lack | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| that you do not face openly distort the personality into becoming self-righteously severe with others. Religionists often | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| self that perfection is possible reaches the conscious personality as fear of imperfection. The fear of death | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| fear motivate the conscious mind of the outer personality, they both seek out and distort the truth | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| fear of death is a neurotic manifestation. The personality fears to go through the tunnel of that | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| these forms and re-create them. But the conscious personality vaguely perceives this state of omnipotence in a | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| consequences. That sense of omnipotence of the outer personality is an insistence on magical solutions that are | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| learn to accept the limitation of your present personality. You need humility to accept this; you need | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| filter through the limited opening into the ego personality and the conscious personality misunderstands and distorts them | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| opening into the ego personality and the conscious personality misunderstands and distorts them, states that are divine | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| the fear of facing those roots of the personality where these states of perfection could not yet | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |

| cannot truly be possible on the level of personality, of the conscious mind now. In knowing this | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| by the inner God. However, if the conscious personality then believes that he or she is now | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
| the blind spots that still exist in the personality. Where the personality is still resistant, blocked, defended | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |

| do not know which particular aspect of your personality your inner, organic path calls you to deal | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |

| to the contraction of one aspect of your personality, the expanding on the other level cannot be | 235 THE ANATOMY OF CONTRACTION |
| to pay a price: without any change of personality or attitude or approach or thinking or feeling | 236 THE SUPERSTITION OF PESSIMISM |
| absolutely essential quality of leadership that the infantile personality lacks and is unwilling to even consider is | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| all-important topic. True unification and wholeness of the personality can only come when the dichotomy of frustration | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| that still takes such dominance because your willful personality allies itself with it, rather than with what | 237 LEADERSHIP -- THE ART OF TRANSCENDING FRUSTRATION |
| place primarily on the inner levels, within the personality, but also on the outer levels, so that | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| while uniformity and conformity often existed within the personality, wiping out true individual expression. The age of | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| strong, billowing pulse beat, unconscious levels of the personality interfere. These levels need to be made conscious | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| levels need to be made conscious. Then the personality has a choice. It is in its power | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| incorporate them into the unit that becomes your personality. Therefore many divergent aspects coexist. In your pathwork | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| strengthen and purify that aspect of the human personality, as the prerequisite for what was to come | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| was to come later. The outer levels of personality had to first attain strength. In former times | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| your present conception. Very simply, when the whole personality is in harmony with itself, when there are | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| of utter necessity that unconscious levels of the personality be discovered and included to accomplish the process | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| fulfill its task. To the degree aspects of personality remain unconscious, limitations exist not only in the | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| ignored, the channel must have its limitations; the personality will be limited in his or her perception | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| the body. False needs will predominate and the personality will be confused. Thus the mind will no | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| these energies as you meet new levels of personality that you may first dislike or disdain, and | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
| to complete the total spiritualization of the inner personality. Then the power of the Christ consciousness, the | 238 THE PULSE OF LIFE ON ALL LEVELS OF MANIFESTATION |
