The personality is another garb of the soul. This also goes on, just as the body goes on. The personality is also partaken of by one or by many wayfarers coming from the source; arriving at manifestation, showing at the same time the same personality, for it is the same personality. The caterpillar is representative of the flower, of the tree, of the plant that it has absorbed in itself; the caterpillar is the reincarnation of that which it has taken into itself; and yet the caterpillar is itself an entity which is known by us as it appears to be. A personality representing a complete person certainly has absorbed that which it is reflecting; in other words that which it has taken into itself, which has been projected upon it, which it has borrowed; and it is of that personality that it may claim to be the reincarnation.
