Personality is created by imitation.
What is original and authentic does not come from imitation, but from deeper within. Mostly from the essence, but sometimes from an ego that can tap into our creative energies.
Anyhow when we say to ourselves I need to be more like this or that person, or more like a certain quality, we are going to end up creating a new layer of personality.
We can study another person who has this or that good quality, and extract the wisdom, method and truth of their ways. Then blend that wisdom and method into our own way of things. That way we won't create new layers or aspects of personality.
Imitation is often not a conscious process.
What we add to personality we have to later dissolve. As circumstances change...
Personality is always about adding something to ourselves to make us fit in better. Each new circumstance, relationship, environment always puts pressure on us to add an extra aspect to our personality.
If we learn the essence of the new quality, and fuse that learning into our essnece we will fit in consciously, without adding to our already heavy personality. To learn the essence of a new quality is consciousness, not personality. The personality remains bypassed.
