Yet, also, a star, by its mass and size and nature of what it is, is a far more powerful energy source then a mere candle. Yet also, the only constant is change. A candle, a star, an anything, is not a fixed object, ever. Power is not a fixed quantity either.
"Personality is that feature of an individual which we know,
and which enables us to identify such a being at some future time
regardless of the nature and extent of changes in form, mind, or spirit
status. Personality is that part of any individual which enables us to
recognize and positively identify that person as the one we have
previously known, no matter how much he may have changed because of the
modification of the vehicle of expression and manifestation of his
personality.
Creature personality
is distinguished by two self-manifesting and characteristic phenomena
of mortal reactive behavior: self-consciousness and associated relative
free will.
Self-consciousness consists in intellectual awareness of personality
actuality; it includes the ability to recognize the reality of other
personalities. It indicates capacity for individualized experience in
and with cosmic realities, equivalating to the attainment of identity
status in the personality relationships of the universe.
Self-consciousness connotes recognition of the actuality of mind
ministration and the realization of relative independence of creative
and determinative free will."
