Perhaps a parallel (or not) thought is "its just a personality" -- not mine per se, just as "your" personality is not mine. The intellect of any personality might compare, not compare, whatever. Whatever their "last push of the cart" has the clown do -- jumping through another hoop, or climbing out of a VW with 13 other clowns. "I am not that personality, nor that one, nor that one." Or I am all of them. > (That's not to say you might not pull rank once > in a while if you thought it was important; Jesus > driving the money-changers out of the Temple would > be an example.

The personality will live out its run on the pinball machine of creation.
