The Field Guide to Human Personalities

EXPLORE YOURSELF & OTHERS!

Written by 5-Time EMMY Winning writer/actor Paul Wagner (paulwagner., this book is a friendly guide, a personal development tool and the start of a conversation. With a fairly broad stroke, this book explores a perceived subset of the spectrum of colorful personalities and attributes that operate within the collective human psyche. By exploring and finding empathy for these attributes, we move closer to the source. By seeing ourselves in every living being we experience and interact with, we become free.

Beautiful, full-color illustrations by renowned artist Loukia Kyriakidou bring to life the look and feel of each personality. The book delves into the spiritual, psychological, emotional and behavioral aspects of each personality and provides a morsel of insight into how we might improve or celebrate each one. Each chapter lists the challenges and strengths of each persona, along with a list of healing modalities that can help the personality transform in a given moment.

You are invited to explore, embrace, forgive and celebrate these aspects within yourself and others. May you move successfully past your stories and closer to emotional and spiritual freedom.

THE PURPOSE OF OUR PERSONALITIES

Much like our spirits enter our bodies at birth, we step into personalities, which are nothing more than vehicles for interacting with physical realities. We use personalities to interact with the universe, make friends, get jobs and get attention. By temporarily naming and then exploring our personalities, we make them more relatable, which helps us process unattended emotions and experiences. Doing so, we increase our ability to forgive ourselves and others, our awareness expands and we grow.

Over time, we evolve out of some personalities, stepping into clearer, more advanced representations of ourselves. At the ends of our lives, we drop all personalities and we return to source. This does not mean that our souls die, it means we go back to an existence without pretense or construct.

The purpose of life is to release the features within us that are incongruent with the source of all life. This is what the masters who have appeared throughout time have taught us. Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Quan Yin, Amma, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Vivekananda, Osho, Thich Nhat Hanh, Sai Baba and all the light beings who brighten our spirits, point to a oneness with creation, a merging with eternity. They desire for us to go through the process of Self-realization, seeking nirvana, the state of the perfect non-existence of self-serving desires. Some people pursue this clear state by praying, chanting or by living monastic lives, but the majority of us utilize relational, emotional and psychological modalities to serve our spiritual advancement. These tools bring us closer to the Self, expanding our awareness, clarity and sense of freedom.

Life is challenging. Mistakes are part of the plan. Forgive. Let go. Reboot.
