The real self, the soul, is much deeper than personality. When we relate on the level of the soul, we are no longer distracted by the personality. Personality is always changing and is never stable. Like a shadow, the personality has no substance. When the power of soul-consciousness is awakened, dynamic equilibrium of the natural forces occurs and the mind is silenced.
Most people are a threat to themselves.
They feel threatened by others because they have not understood themselves. When we live on the level of personality, we are never honest with ourselves or others. We live in a make-believe world of images and lies, and we go up and down with excitement and disappointment. These flaws in our personality are evidence of our lack of maturity. To ripen and become full inside we need to expose ourselves to the Light.
