You must dissolve this membrane of self. Stop thinking of the personality as anything magical, or set, or indicative of anything. It’s a garment. At one point, you chose it. At any other point you can discard, mend, or replace it. Do not get attached to it.

Don’t think of your personality as having any power unto itself. Dissolve it at every opportunity.
As for the body, it is a communication tool merely. Love, enjoy, take care of it the best you know. But don’t place your identity into it. Dissolve every identity at every opportunity.
Dissolve all ego
When you take on an identity because of a job or function, remind yourself, there is not any one function performed by any one person, that could not be performed as well by any other. And so do not build your identity around a function. Every ego is born to die. Every ego must be dissolved.
And if you are an artist or creator, and we all are, with our lives, then stop thinking of anything you create as being in your own particular style, and stop getting invested into your own personal style, or brand, and realize that all your greatest creations came when the busy self was put aside.

Know that there is ever present and available an enormous power source. It gently blesses all who turn their attention to it. The more you are conscious of and meditate upon this source of light and goodness, the more It shines like a great sun which does not burn but only exalts, floods, infuses and flows through its object, blessing everything to the extent that you relinquish these petty threadbare garments, these membranes of self, which only stand in the way.
I and my Father are one
John 10:30
