"These terms are used as equivalent to " Higher Self " and " Lower Self " in esoteric
literature. A Personality is that set of reaction-capacities which the addition of a new
factor in evolution has made possible. "Individuality" and "Personality," then, refer to
stages of development, and have a historical significance. They refer to " time " not to
"form." That which is the Personality today will be part of the Individuality tomorrow." |

"...the Higher Self of the Planetary Being depends upon the lives dwelling on it for its
development."

"The forces of the Ray Exemplars are very strong and very deep. It can be of great
value to link them mentally with those more abstract aspects of the individual called
variously in esotericism the "Higher Self" or the Individuality."

"The great " Ray " impinges on the Higher Self in such a manner as to impel it towards
integration with the Personality, and everyone save those whose integration was well
advanced would feel strong effects which might well be beyond their capacity at that
stage to support. When this " Ray " is brought through the Personality has to absorb in
a way the experience of the Higher Self even as the Higher Self has to absorb the
experiences of the Personality after physical death."
