-== Personality and Individuality ==
-The seven [[principle|principles]] that constitute human beings are frequently separated in two great divisions, grouping the three higher (or Individuality) and the four lower (or personality). [[H. P. Blavatsky]] defined it as follows:
-'''Personality'''. In Occultism—which divides man into seven principles, considering him under the three aspects of the divine, the thinking or the rational, and the animal man—the lower quaternary or the purely astrophysical being; while by Individuality is meant the Higher Triad, considered as a Unity. Thus the Personality embraces all the characteristics and memories of one physical life, while the Individuality is the imperishable Ego which re-incarnates and clothes itself in one personality after another.
