The concepts of personality and individuality (IF16)

It is our intention to try to make you understand what we mean when we talk about "personality”, And what we mean when we speak of“ individuality ”, of the individual, trying, according to our abilities, to make you understand also where the difference between these two terms lies; This is so that later we can continue talking to you using these terms, confident that you can understand us. fabius

The words that I will have to give you tonight are quite difficult words, shades of definitions, and perhaps also because I have not understood them completely well even io.
You must understand, dear ones, that to do this task I am not helped by the Guides, but I am simply told: these words must necessarily have an adequate definition of what our teaching has been up to now, therefore, my dear Boris, get busy, try to understand as much as possible, try to use the simplest terms possible and then propose them to the Circle; eventually, if your proposals do not go well, we will then take care of modifying them, when the time is right.
Of course knowing that there are Guides, as supervisors, gives me comfort; but there is always that tip of Io that I still carry with me and that is sorry for the fact that I run the risk of saying nonsense, and therefore making a bad impression.
Let's move on to define these three words which are: individual, individuality, personality.
I would define individuality what is called, usually in the esoteric field, the first emanation of the Absolute, or the first detachment of what is called Drop, (which had been spoken of some time ago) from the union with the Whole.
It is called instead individual, the path that this drop makes through his evolution, in the course of births and rebirths, through the various planes of existence; this is why very often the Guides speak not of "being", not of "entity" and so on, but of the individual, precisely because this is a much more generic term and much more understandable than what entity can be.
If we want to tackle the subject from the point of view of the spiritual planes, we can say that it suits us, for a certain logic then of the discourse, to say that the individual can be defined as that part of the entity that can be imagined composed of akasic body and then from the other spiritual bodies; so so when you were told that the entity was the set of various bodies of the individual outside the physical one, in the same way we can say that the individual is constituted by the akasic plane and by the other spiritual planes and therefore the resultant of these plans.
Personality, on the surface it is a much simpler term to define, because all of you more or less have an idea of ​​the psychological definition. However I would define it this way: personality is the resultant of impulses, of the influences of the mental body, of the astral body, of the physical body, within the physical plane; it is what manifests itself in the individual, that is, in the spiritual part of him.
