Why you should not reject your personality

You have created your personality yourself, with your own power. When you were to reject your personality, you would also automatically reject your own power, and it is that what you were looking for all along, only you want to use it for something different than creating and maintaining a personality.

By the way, the mechanism of rejection is one of the 'normal' ways of your personality to deal with situations and experiences that are unwanted by him, and is a way to prevent having to be confronted with a likewise situation once more, thus avoiding having to experience the same unpleasantness once mor, for example through rejecting other people. Only now he uses this mechanism on himself because you have seen that he is the one causing these unpleasantnesses.

When you reject your own power, you not only place your personality in a corner where he will create tension because being rejected is not part of his preferred experiences. But the alternative of your Self will also become quite invisible, since your rejection involves the total of your own power. So what would be left for you to find?

So go and look, at your own pace, to what you really have created yourself: a huge amount of limiting rules, mechanisms and experiences you taught yourself to call 'you'. By and by you will recognize this is not what you really want, and your interest for it will then disappear automatically. This insight is enough, together with realizing that what is really you, is your Self.

The good part is, that a personality issue will simply disappear once you no longer believe it to be something you have to make true over and over again. But remember, this is something different from rejecting, where you dó give it attention and pass a judgment on it - being: unwanted - through which you maintain it as an issue. On top of that, your personality is likely to add to this that he is an aspect within you that is wrong, uncontrollable, fearful or such on which you really should not want to focus, which is likely to divert you even further from what you really want. Do realize, however, these are all defence mechanisms in order to prevent you from taking a closer look at him, simply because your personality knows that when your Awareness increases, you will no longer want to invest in him. Do not force this process on yourself, but do not believe your personality either.
