Q: In the [[relationship]] between people - between [[personalities]] that you were talking about, what is the optimum way of relating to other people that would [[achieve]] the best [[soul growth]]? For instance, the [[motive]], does that make any [[difference]]? Or the [[truth]] of how you are relating to that [[person]], how does that make any difference in the [[growth]] of your [[soul]]?

A: That is a [[deceptively]] [[simple]] [[question]] with much [[complexity]]. The optimum is to [[love]] one another. But this is not realistic, for to love one's fellows truly you must [[understand]] them. Understanding begins when we place the [[spiritual]] ahead of the [[ego]]. So, the [[realization]] that we are one [[family]] created by one [[Father]] is [[essential]], not just in terms of lip service, but in terms of true [[service]] to one's [[brothers and sisters]]. [[Mota]] is not that significant. It is the [[quality]] of the [[interaction]]. You will always [[experience]] imperfections in yourself, annoyances, impatience, and [[conflict]]. These are a part of your [[imperfect]] state. How one-what one does determines a realistic [[goal]] of relating to others. [[Jesus]] said "turn the other cheek." I am not as [[adept]] as our [[Creator Son|Creator]]-Brother-FATHER, but I would say sometimes the highest [[good]] in terms of [[personality]] [[relationships]] is avoidance if one is not evolved enough to come from a place of highest [[values]] with another [[being]]. The [[sincere]] [[commitment]] to [[understand]] is important in terms of [[perspective]]: the [[spiritual]] rather than the "me." But it will be impossible to remove the [[ego]], but remember it is not [[instinctual]]. [[Personality]] - I mean [[ego]] is instinctual, [[animal]], but [[personality]] can break that [[stimulus]] [[response]]. For example, if one is [[physically]] struck, the [[animal]] will fight or flight. The spiritual [[intervention]] of [[personality]] might cause a different [[reaction]]. The highest would be to allow [[the Father]] to be seen in your [[relationships]] with others, for you to [[reflect]] and embody His [[perfect]] qualities of [[love]], [[mercy]], [[patience]], [[wisdom]], [[truth, beauty, and goodness]]. Partially these can be [[attained]] by you, and not always [[consistently]], but that would be the [[ideal]].

Q: Would the [[personality]] that I have [[received]], for example, that the [[soul]] be me in [[potential]], and that [[personality]] that I [[exhibit]] here - different sense of [[humor]] or whatever - is that the [[reflection]] of that [[reality]]? When we talk at this level, we talk about having [[personality]] and recognizing personalities, and [[types]] of personalities, if we are 99% [[potential]] then what is that that's here?
