And then we come to what we call the world of mind, of personality. Personality is a picture which the soul reflects in order to manifest according to that design; it is something of which the soul partakes. For instance, a person goes on a journey, and finds snow on the way; he is covered with snow. Then he comes to a place where it is dry; but at the same time he has brought snow with him. So it is with the manifesting soul. The soul which is manifesting has brought with it a personality. It is that personality which is now designing his destiny in the physical world, which is now building his form in this physical world. Therefore, if one must give a name to something which the soul has already brought, one can give it; but the soul does not start originally with personality, it starts as a divine ray.
