How does human personality change self on a
short and a long-term basis? What is its metamorphosis? How can one
deal with personality alteration? One must possess already
introspection ability, in order to notice changes of the own
personality. The following regularity brings itself to light. Only,
what changes very slowly, appears to be constant. This circumstance
provides a human with feeling that he is the same personality he had
been always. Nobody would disown his personality voluntarily or be
doubtful of, because it may mean the end of one’s existence.
Nevertheless, human personality dies during the whole life permanently,
in order to become another one. This observation lets us think of
following. Should human to fear of own personality cardinal changes?
For example, a dying human is not the same one, which was born. If
human already dies his whole life, does he have to fear material death
as much as that all? A little, nevertheless! Personality proves self
exactly as liferaft, which goes down innumerable times during the
lifetime and nevertheless is able to save self again and again. Hence
it follows that personality may survive the death breakdown as well,
but it doesn’t must however. If liferaft became too small in result of
the personality negative development, it would be possible that one
does not survive the breakdown and disappears from the surface of the
being for ever. Yes! If a human looks for redemption, then his
personality is a suitable place, where he may find it! The recent leads
us to the conclusion that personality is not of this world, but it
depends on this. It sticks immediately out that personality continuity
is connected with short term changes. Seeing on a long-term
basis, one discovers that he became completely different personality.
We will call personality change, which does not match pattern above,
metamorphosis. Small nearly continuous changes of the personality,
which are being experienced daily, do not represent a metamorphosis,
because they are too small, in order to be noticed. Having in mind
discovered regularities we think about three possibilities of dealing
with personality changes. First one consists in the fact that large and
small metamorphoses would be accepted. In the second case a
metamorphosis, if it could cause negative development, may be rejected,
or also not. The problem bases on the fact that the metamorphosis, when
it was noticed, is already an accomplished reality. In the case of
rejection one must only try to restore the original state of the
personality (do rollback). On this way difference to the earlier state
should be stated and old status be manifested again as own personality.
Thus one eliminates unwanted development and corrects own errors.
Third possibility assumes planning of the own future personality. In
order to accomplish this task, one selects role models or may let
himself be inspired by heaven (metamorphosis of the third kind). The
following example of a third kind metamorphosis originates from
author’s childhood.
