Own Theory of Personality

The perception of personality varies from person to person. The conclusion of what an individual's personality may be is based upon the criteria of the person observing another.

Our profile--our personality--stands in dialectical relationship to perception. What we are as a personality, our motives, goals, temperaments, and so on, influence what we perceive as a situation; and this perception itself will influence our personality.

Each person is a unique personality, a profile of motivational, temperamental, and ability dispositions and powers. This profile is what we know as another's character, personality, nature, constitution, caliber, or style. This profile is not static nor set on its course; perception and experience can radically alter a person's profile (as systematic communist interrogation shows), since it is only one aspect of the dynamic psychological equilibrium which comprises the self.

What we are as a personality, our motives, goals, temperaments, and so on, influence what we perceive as a situation; and this perception itself will influence our personality. Nonetheless, personality and will on the one hand and perceived situation on the other are clearly distinct.

One of the most important features of personality is the conscious and the unconscious. Freud, of course, was the one responsible for making these terms popular. Perhaps the most important thing to remember about consciousness is that it is personal. And it is in this personal consciousness where everything takes place. To be conscious, you have to know yourself and you have to be capable of reflection. You have to be aware of yourself.

To have awareness does not mean to avoid social constructs or personal ones or the use of symbols or words -- only to know these things for what they are and to use them appropriately. And conversely, awareness means having a particular capacity for experiencing immediately reality fully and clearly.

Awareness also means presence, that is, “being-in-the-present,” the ability to focus on the here-and-now and to understand the past,
