The Spiritual Master, Sri Hosten Aurobinko wrote the following piece on individuality, and the individual for his spiritual magazine, Soulful Living.
"Each human has a distinct personality, and character makeup, even a unique physical construction too, which includes their intellect, and emotional intelligence, as well."
"The thing is though, these are all human traits, and in the real sense, they do not differ that much between each person. A commonness of theme runs each person then. Everyone basically lives from the same drives, in similar ways. "
"Our true self, and individuality is not a part of our human self at all, though. It depends on the strength of our connection to God."
"Humans, like animals, have animal drives, or human instinctiveness, and ways of being, and reacting, from their humanness."
"The makeup of our personality, and human self then, is fairly common to us all. Not much variance is included in this part of us at all."
"The individuality of our human personality then is a furphy, as no real difference exists from one human being to the next. They are all driven by the same animal drives, emotions, and thoughts."
"The truth is that it is only when we connect to God that our divine personality comes into play within us."
"Our divine personality is unique to each one of us, and includes the various gifts of the spirit that we have been given to operate from in our lives too."
"When we become God driven, our divine personality then shines through us, and our animal personality fades in its prominence back into the background of ourselves."
"In this way, we truly live our lives as spiritual beings having a human experience, and not as humans, having the occasional spiritual lift, out from our too fully owned animalistic selves."
"God created humans based on his own self, and this divine blueprint ensures that when any one person connects themselves to God, in their living, God then brings to life himself within them, in a unique way for that individual, based on what that individual is destined, or planned to do for God in this life of theirs."
"Our divine personality is then fully lived from, as God helps us to live in this way, and not to be trapped anymore in our just living from our humanistic animalistic self instead."

Only through God in us, can we be our true selves for God.

Furphy is Australian slang for something that everybody thinks is true, but which is actually untrue.
I like to chew over philosophic ideas, as it gives me greater understanding of what is true, and what is not true.
My heart does not need this, as it innately knows the truth already, but my mind likes to try to understand what my heart already knows too.

@innertalks Thank you for the info on Furphy.
The more I mull over philosophy, the more confused I get. It's good for me to know the truth.

Yes, without God in us, we are nothing on our own. We should never ignore, or block out, God, from our lives.

When we see others as a mere extension of us, then we are more than halfway.
It is the circumstance that makes us behave in a certain way.
We may wonder why the rich seek isolation from the hoi polloi and avoid mixing with them, but then that is a common trait brought about by an apparent class division.
When we live through God in us, that will lead to more acceptance of all strata of society.
We need to obliterate all sorts of divisions in society by bonding through love in action and deeds.
Till that happens, we will always be at loggerheads with each other.

Yes, the various classes here are false in their dividing of what is not divisible.
Uniqueness cannot be divided, or compared, as it is just what it is, God-given talents, gifts, and dispositions, to live our life uniquely as ourselves for God, as which God has created us to be like for him, and planned our life to go in a certain direction that suits the strengths that he has given to us, to live from, and to gain greater wisdom in the living.

@Shiva49 Yes, we have talents, individuality, and uniqueness, and yet we are all fitted into the same oneness of humanity, and even into the greater oneness, of the overall Universe, and God too.
We need life experiences to develop our innate talents, and to shine in our uniqueness, as such experiences polish us to shine our best self forth, if we are living from the energy of love within us.
Intolerance kills/stonkers love, before it leaves our heart, and it always adds a bitterness to our lives thereafter too.
It has been said that love is not just tolerance, but far more than that, it is an embracing from love. Intolerance though, embraces no one, but isolates the intolerant person to themselves only. Intolerance is selfishness,

@innertalks We can easily fit in riding on our unique talents.
It is the oneness of humanity then at play with the uniqueness shining from each of us.
Humanity thrives in diversity but then is done in by intolerance.
