Streams of Personality

You probably had your greedy moments and afterwards, when you looked at your behavior, you asked yourself, was this really me? You also probably had your horny moments when someone or something triggered a surge in your hormones and once they were out in the system you behaved quite differently than you would have without this trigger. Do I need to go on? You can fill in everything else that may work better for you, fearful, competitive, angry, etc.

Those streams of different personality traits come and go like waves. The environment as well as your own behavior affects them. All you really can do is to watch them. If you are mindful, you can jump off these wave as they develops, safely changing directions before they crush into the cliffs. As you monitor these streams of personality and the endless associated ying and yang, you can also see whether there is a force in you that likes you to go on these ride, knowing that they distract you sufficiently to hide your peaceful and serene Core. Once you have seen this force, your spiritual journey will be over since afterwards your choice at hand will be pretty obvious.
