Mar. 12th, 2000 10:00 pm1) the source (root)
2) my soul (self)
3) my mind (self-awareness)
4) my knowledge (thoughts)
5) my personality (emotions)
6) my body
1) The source is the root is the Consciousness force - the fundamental root and core of my, and all, Being.
2) My soul is the first "physical" manifestation of ME - it's not Dustin, it's more like a collection of energy focused in one area. This energy is the seed from which spawns, eventually, Dustin.
3) My mind is the place where I first become conscious of my soul and the source. It is physical, hands-on Consciousness, but without a truly physical form or palpable quality.
4) My knowledge is the result of my mind's activity. It is the result of an active mind, and it is the first conscious and literal manifestation of the Source that can be meaningfullY discussed.
5) My personality is the first outward manifestation of the Source that can be seen and felt by others. My personality is an expression of my knowledge, demonstrated to others in the way I talk, act and the way I interact with people in my relationships.
6) My body, the grossest manifestation of the I AM, of the Consciousness Force, is no more than a collection of cells and biomaterials that are organized around my consciousness and my mind. However, my consciousness and my mind are not housed in some compartment within my body; rather, my body is a physical representation of my mind, and its qualities are a direct reflection of my own mind and the source within.
Therefore, there is a direct connection between all these aspects of myself: what my core, primal energy is, how they are all manifested in my personality, and then how I live in the world and interact with everyone in light of that.
Any aspect of my personality should be able to be traced and connected to my mind, and my own Self-consciousness and primal awareness. Defects in my personality (depression, disquiet, anger) therefore come as a result of disturbances, disruptions, or disconnections between my Self and my Personality (or somehwere along the way). However - and this is important - there is no disturbance possible at the SOURCE, so it must occur sometime AFTER that.
-> The source: unchangeable - it is EVERYTHING
-> The Soul, the Self: still pretty fundamental - only severe trauma should be able to affect it.
-> The mind: the first real manifestation of conscious energy - can be altered by the "quality" of consciousness, or perhaps by severe disturbances like pain, drugs, etc. The mind seems to be the bridge between the conscious and primal (sub- or pre-conscious) states; therefore, if frequent external (conscious world) disturbances are present, they could affect negatively the balance, structure and strength (integrity) of the bridge. The soul floats over that bridge; the personality might drive over it with a truck.
-> The Knowledge: This is just data - the mind has access to some very subtle and important data, but the brain of the personality is not always equipped to find it, deal with it, or understand it when it finds it. Knowledge can be used or abused, used constructively, destructively, improperly, imprecisely, or not at all. If used properly, it can become an important tool. If not, it can be an obstacle to Peace and Awareness. At a most basic level, it may not actually be required at all. (But I'm not really sure of that.)
-> The personality: This is the helicopter that needs to be flown with complete mastery, or it will crash. The myriad aspects of our personality can enlighten us or plunge us deeper into anger, darkness, ignorance, and depression. Our manifestion of our personalities has enormous potential effect on the world around us, too. Living solely in awanreness of the personality is severely detrimental to total well-being, though - if you think that all you are is your personality, you're deceiving yourself, and leaving yourself open to hurt and heartache. This is because you will plunge farther into anger and depression when bad things happen in your external life (and bad things will always happen in your external life). The personality can be injured, but not the source within you. If you live without awareness of Self, you'll think that all bad things in the world are happening just to spite you and hurt you. But that's not why bad things happen.
