==Quote==
The [[personality]] of mortal man is neither body, [[mind]], nor [[spirit]]; neither is it the [[soul]]. Personality is the one changeless [[reality]] in an otherwise ever-changing creature [[experience]]; and it unifies all other associated factors of [[individual]]ity. The personality is the unique bestowal which the Universal Father makes upon the living and associated energies of [[matter]], mind, and spirit, and which survives with the survival of the [[morontia]]l soul.
