PERSONALITY PUT OUT TO PASTURE (PDF-1720)

This will probably be my last blog in this series on transferring one’s consciousness from focusing exclusively on one’s personality, to something more inclusive and (note this please) less impermanent. In the transference process, we don’t abandon our personality, but we do learn to manage it or, as I tell myself, I put my personality out to pasture, and perpetually (and gently) care for it as I would care for any other person, but I no longer let it exclusively “drive the car.” In the metaphor of astrology that I have been using, we discover our heliocentric chart, our Dharma Chart. In the process we loosen our death-grip (at least a bit) on our personality and ego. We simply transfer our consciousness.
