All forms, in themselves, are not expressions of a personality. To warrant the term, three types of energy must be present, - three types, fused, blended and coordinated into one functioning organism. A personality is therefore a blend of mental energy, of emotional energy and of vital force, and these three are masked, hidden [392] or revealed (note this terminology) by an outer shell or form of dense physical matter. This outer crust is in itself a form of negative energy. The result of this union of three energies in an objective form is self-consciousness. Their fusion produces that sense of individuality, which justifies the use of the word 'I', and which relates all occurrences to a self. Where this central conscious entity exists, utilizing the mind, reacting sensuously through the emotional body, and energizing the dense physical (via the vital body) then one has a personality. It is self-conscious existence in form. It is awareness of identity in relation to other identities, and this is equally true of God or man. It is a sense of identity, however, which persists only during the creative process, and for as long as the matter aspect and the consciousness aspect present the eternal duality of nature. In our evolutionary development it is not realized in the subhuman forms; it is realized in the human kingdom, and is realized but merged into and negated by the greater forms and consciousnesses which we call the superhuman.

"I am", - the cry of every human being; "I am That", - the cry of every personality, who realizes his selfhood and uses his personality in order to express the will of the indwelling entity, the true person. "I am that I am" - the cry of the individual soul as it is lost in the whole and realizes its oneness with the soul or self of all.
