Personality, Essence, Soul (metaphysics)

Personality, Essence, Soul (metaphysics)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are three latencies in the completing psychological totality, manifesting as three 'rings' of behavior patters.

1. Personality -- latent 'ring' of expected daily interactive behavior. "A compromise formation between "I" for others, to satisfy social expectations, and "I" for oneself, who is not exhausted in "other" interactions." (Jung) "A tri-partite Super-Ego, Ego, Id agency-psychodynamic, rolled into One" (Freud)

(Ex. "I knew you'ld say that" Judge Dredd ) Mostly formed by age 6.

2. Essence -- latent 'ring' of behavior traceable to what is in the DNA, the biological, blood basis of personal identity. This acts as an inner constraint on personality; without a sense of inner essence, nothing resists any factor desired to complete the personality that comes along. Essence awareness becomes verbally conscious (which is not necessary for personality) as "racialism." A person's essence is what manifests in latency toward racialism (tribalism. ethnicity, ideology) -- instinctive affirmation of one's blood-being. However, the factors completing development of personality, mostly acquired by age 6, followed by the latency period, then puberty, provides a sendary ring of factors that 'coat' the essence-instinct. A 'second nature' of acquired habits, perpetuating, unless acted upon from without.

3. Soul -- the essence of essence. Plato: The latency awakened by the completing factors of visual connection with the furthermost external bodies ("seeing the stars"; "seeing stars", "seeing stars"). The latency of the higher-blood-in-the-liquid-blood, the 'etheric' aura of a behavior identifying 'types' (and the 'Christ', where present, as Essence-Light); latent bonds to the Oxygens required for higher being-bodies' warmth.

"The Soul" is that which is born into a body as a latency of these three kinds. The metaphysics can be provisionally taken as Aristotellian. It is not a fully formed homunculus at conception; abortion isn't murdering a little baby; only arresting a latency, as we cull weeds and such around the tomato plants for best growth.

When the tri-partite structure of the inner 'rings' embedded in external behaviors is compared with the tri-partite structure of the eye (see Ziggarut thread on Eye of Horus), The Soul corresponds with the pupil, the essence with the Iris, the personality with the cornea ('rolls eyes').

When the Aristotelian metaphysics of Soul as "second grade actuality of that which has life potentially within it" is broken down, through consciousness, into the three-being brain levels, head, spine, solar plexus ('gut'), the level of Gurdjieff cosmological analysis is reached. Each "brain" is a material organ resonating to different frequency levels, according to the flow-of-process through them, and there are three stages of such levels emanating from the Holy Sun Absolute: Etherokrilna, particles smaller than those of light; Okhadonock, light particles; Orgone/Libido, pro-creative love particles.
