The Impermanence of Personality

     What we call personality is an illusion of self. We are fluid beings, not static. Our spirits as incorporeal beings yearn to move, not stay in the same place. A personality is a sample of you that is locked in time, like a ghost. Time is the key that unlocks it. As you develop through life, your personality changes. Behaviors are learned early on, supported by genes that solidify what appears to you as a personality during young adulthood. For many youths, this period is a turbulent time, fraught with uncertainty about who they are. Once they find acceptance, the storm passes, and they are comfortable with who they've become.
    Others never reach this stage, for they have already seen past the illusion of personality. Knowing that our personas evolve, like the earth and all its creatures, they are more comfortable having no identity. The imperfections that come with any given personality are transcended. They borrow pieces of each personality on the wheel (Enneagram, MBTI, Zodiac, et al), to suit one that is self-actualizing. They work hard their whole lives to shed the pieces that hinder development while embracing those that improve it.
    If cruel people complain they have a boring personality, or they don't even have one, they haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about. They have spiritually evolved enough not to fall into the same patterns they learned as a child, patterns their parents imprinted on them. They are mature enough to accelerate through the ruins of personality and all the expectations it brings. They would rather observe and listen, incorporating all the nuances of transient personalities into their holistic being. The dust begins to settle, they see through people's motives. Life becomes easier.
