Without the personality, you would not have your current incarnation. While in Incarnation, you will always have a personality. Period. No matter what latest meditation or healing technique you find, your personality will always remain.
The best techniques and teachings out there, encourage and cause soul and personality infusion and integration. Not the denial of one over other.
Your personality provides the gateway for soul (Solar Angel) experience and growth, through a personality incarnation. Growth is not achieved by denial of what is, rather the ability to symbolically move and grow through life lessons. To do that, you need drive. You need the personal-self to function. Personal will needs enthusiasm, curiosity, a reason to try. Motivation. The more whole the personal-self is, the easier that is to do.
Neglect of the personal-self, depletes ones 'fire', ones drive. Burn outs are more of an apt description than realised. If you neglect the channel (you) that manifestation occurs through, what has manifested because of you, suffers. Relationships, car, house, finances your work, the list is endless. We tend to put more money into our possessions than investing in ourselves and maintaining our health. That is where the problem starts. The personal self putting more value into what has manifested 'outside' of you, rather than the personal you.
The personal self matters and should be listened too. Neglect of the personal self will lead to burn out after burn out, until the penny drops. Ask yourself, what have you done today in a healthy way, that thanks and nurtures your personality? Before you pour from your symbolic cup of life, ask yourself, did you fill it first?........
In honour of personal will and fire, I offer the following creative take of The Soul Mantra Prayer:
I am the Soul,
I am the Light Divine,
I am Love,
I am Will,
I am Fixed Design,
I am Creativity and Drive,
With water in my blood and fire in my soul, traveling down into the depths of earth,
May l learn to know myself and the purpose of it all.......
