This Message was sent us from Australia, and was said to be inspired by God through two humble messengers in Spirit.—THE Editor.
THE PERSONALITY
THE PERSONALITY—what is it? It is that which you, with your human mind, imagine yourself to be. It is the creature to which you gave birth many, many ages ago, which you have nurtured and fed, loved and fought for, trusted and followed and believed in, just as if it were real, all these years; the child of your bosom, the creature of your human mind, thought-born, when you fell away in consciousness from Me in Eden after your first sin, and which ever since you have fed with and bred on the idea that you were separate from Me, and that I, God, was displeased with you and have been continually punishing you for eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.
And if I have permitted you to love and trust, follow and obey this imaginary child, now grown in your consciousness to full maturity and become so strong and powerful that it dominates and rules its parent with a rod of iron, it is only in order that, through the sins and errors into which it drove you and the consequent suffering these brought, I might awaken you to the reality of its unreality, to the fact that it has no existence except in your mind; and that the only life it has and all its power come from your constant thinking that you are this personality and are separate and apart from Me. —From The Teacher.
