The great Rabbi, Arvin Perskosko, was giving a lecture to his students on the personality. He told them that they have two personalities, one is attached to their mind, and another, to their soul. Here is some more of his talk, given at that time: "One personality works with the mind, and the other, with the soul." "The mind is a machine-like tool, attached to our soul, for us to use in our life, but our mind, on its own, cannot utilise consciousness, which can only be used through our soul." "Your mind personality, is made up of the beliefs, emotions, and thoughts, as held in your mind. It is an outposted unit of your mind." "Your soul personality is higher, more refined, and is the real you, as God has allocated to you as your soul to be. You will be set a personality to best suit your God-given gifts, and talents, for this life." "Your soul personality is a vital, vibrant, alive, aware, conscious part of your soul, and your soul works through this focusing tool to be you in this lifetime." "Your real personality is the higher one attached to your soul, for you to work through, and shine love through, from your soul, via God, in your life." "This real personality gives you a perspective on who you really are, and so you do not attach yourself anymore to any mind-created forms of yourself, which are always less in the being of the real you, than who you really are." "We can move past our mind's conditionings, and programmed responses, and so learn to use it from our soul, as a tool, rather than letting it control our life instead." "Our soul is complete in itself, and it is our mind that is incomplete, scarred, and wounded, from our life experiences, but only if we allow it to be so, and do not elevate our experiences into our soul, which will then show us the true meaning from each experience, so we then learn from it, rather than being hurt by it." "We can enlighten our mind by shining our soul through it." "Each soul is uniquely formed by God for a unique purpose, and role, in his kingdom, and as such, God does give every soul different gifts, and talents, which when combined together, works as a certain personality trait, for that soul, best suited to achieve God's goals for that soul through itself."

I must say that some people are good at acting, especially if they wanted to deceive innocent souls. I am trying to learn how to recognize these people. But I still failed at some point.

Yes, a lot of people live through a constructed, and false, personality, and are out to fool others with it. I think that if we can feel a heart connection with someone, we are feeling their innate, inborn personality, attached to their soul, but if we feel something cold, and sinister, about someone, we are linking to that cold constructed shell of a personality, that an ego filled mind can construct as a veneer, or covering, for someone to hide behind, and not be their real self. There is often a feeling that runs through us, a cold shiver, when we feel these deceivers around us, and I certainly feel it, at times.

The mind tends to be fickle when it clings to the goings on in this world. Our soul is a spark of God embedded in each of us. When the soul remains synchronized with the source, we are well on our way to a life of fulfillment. What is sorely lacking is the disconnect between the mind and the soul.

Yes, someone that tries to increase their brain power, and grow their mind, are living in the wrong way, as this can never be done, without input from the soul. They live at less than half power, and are living from a lesser potential too. A screwdriver cannot turn into a hammer, and so it is with our mind, it is a mere tool, and it is up to us to use it from our soul, in the best of ways, rather than letting our ego self, with its false personality, use it to cause damage in the world, instead of creative constructiveness.
