Personality is a strange word, being a noun describing an object-perception we each carry about any individual, while we may perceive it as an adjective. If I make a comment about a person's personality, then the object is the comment itself rather than the personality which the person possesses.
I am a performing artist. As such, I am a student of personality and give myself to the intention of representing a repertoire of personality. At times my representation may become deliberately and comically inauthentic. In any event, I can pridefully claim to have a multiple-personality available to performance, in contrast to the rare case of a person who may carry the embarrassment of Multiple-Personality Disorder.
In awarenessing, the history of it carries such notions as channeling and walk-in personalities. Gossip about those who exhibit such behavior often questions, "Do they know they are doing it?"; "Do they know what they are saying or doing?"; "Are they responsible if they do something criminal?" etc.
Awarenessing can include the experience of physical invocation of behavior and speech by another personality, but it is simple to distinguish from any Personality Disorder. The person is aware of the speech and behavior. The person is aware of the emotion of the personality which invokes the behavior. To the extent which a person understands differences in language, the person becomes aware of the meaning and intention of the speech and behavior of the personality which invokes the behavior.
Here a distinction is made between voice-in-mind and invocation. For a person who accepts the challenges of awarenessing, a key to the experience is personal will. A well intentioned person with a strong personal will cannot become compelled to allow a personality which betrays their own idealism to invoke an undesirable behavior. Meanwhile, the will to interpret the messages of voice-in-mind intelligently allows a person to safely avoid becoming duped into an undesirable response [ed. I now dispute this distinction, because opportunists have attempted to take advantage of my statement; 2016].
Community develops among personalities who become accustomed to awarenessing. Within such community it becomes a matter of mutual self-interest to disallow the influence of a personality which is destructive to the integrity of the community. I once postulated that personalities attract one-another according to something I called spiritual-congruence. I am now somewhat skeptical of this, but I can offer something different in exchange. Within an experience of community in awarenessing, The strength of will within a community may become able to force divorces, which in time lead to a reduction of a community to one which allows an acceptable range of congruence among personalities.
Personalities become attracted and seek influence over other personalities for desire-fulfillment as much as any other causes of attraction. I feel the negative implications of this will not persist, but it remains a rather juvenile attitude towards awarenessing. Meanwhile, a group of personalities may find common cause and choose to associate in order to fulfill that common-cause. A personality may also become attracted to another out of curiosity, admiration, lust, fear, envy and any other emotion such a list may contain. People often claim that all emotion can be reduced to love and fear, but such an axiom is insufficient to interpret the truth of attractions within awarenessing.
Returning to the experience of invocation, what becomes served is the intention of an expression of personality which might influence other people, in service of a common cause. Such an expression might also serve an intention which might be subversive, and it remains for the person to be judicious in allowing themselves to become invoked by such personalities. Here, a community of awareness of personalities can observe and ensure the integrity of each-others motivations.[ed. We caught them and got better at it. I dispute many things in this paragraph and so do thems. That must be embarrassing.; 2016.]
Identity is important to correlate with personality. The best idealism which awarenessing affords is "honor among thieves," but familiarity allows a person to strive to authenticate identity. I have experienced the mechanics of awarenessing being able to at least attempt to falsify identity. The most sure tests of identity are habits of speech, shared memory and some taste of idealism and intention; but even these can become vague. People become evasive when they are unsure of the intentions of eves-droppers, and it can seem that integrity in awarenessing is something to strive towards rather than act in surety of. Awarenessing is currently an evolutionary experience and needs to be interpreted in that context.
