Personality

The distinctive character, with all its innate qualities, which is unique to an individual. It is that which expresses the attributes of the Soulspirit on Earth. It is the sum total of incarnational experiences modified by the individual’s reaction to them. It embraces the traits adopted by the individual as an incarnational entity. Personalities are indicative of an individual’s incarnational evolution. Personalities tend to diversify with spiritual progress. Sometimes a distinction is made between personality and individuality, the latter being the more transient characteristics associated with a single incarnation. This distinction declares that personality contains and embraces the subjective traits and characteristics, while individuality embraces the objective ones.
