Obstacles of the Path - (907)

Introduction

Personality->Mind->Ego->Consciousness->Essence.

The above is the normal position or structure or order rather, of a person's psyche. The order should really be: Consciousness->Essence->Personality->Mind->Ego.

This is order is the right order in which processes in us should be generated from and flow from and this should also be the order in which the impressions of life are taken in.

This talk is about the obstacles to the path! One obstacle is the personality. This post will address how can the personality affect our work? Also why does the personality affect our work?


Personality

The personality is really an invisible vehicle of expression that all of us have. It is born in time and dies in time.

It lives in time and space and is conditioned by relativity and duality. In relation to the values of the personality, the values of the personality are different to the values of the work, the path and the Being.

Time and space are two very fundamental aspects of personality. The personality contains values from time and space.


Discovery of Values

The only way to discover the values of our own personality is to contrast them in practical daily life with a person who comes from a different country or simply be with people who have a different personality than ours.

We behave in an event and in a scenario according to our conditioning which is basically the conditioning of the human personality.


The Downfalls of the Personality

The danger or obstacle of the personality is that it adapts everything it sees and experiences into values of its own nature.

It sees things through its own filters and thinks what is spiritual should agree with the way it sees things as being spiritual, which in actual reality may not be spiritual at all.

Thu personality tends to adapt everything to its own patterns and furthermore, the personality does not have the esoteric way of thinking. It solves situations always from the very physical and human perspective.


End (907).
