<div style="color:#000000;">''the capacity to take up all experiences and organise them around the Psychic centre''</div>What is Individualisation =
&nbsp;Individualisation has a two-fold definition It refers to the process of evolution from collective ego to an individual ego, and then ultimately from the individual ego to one’s true individuality. It is the capacity to take up all experiences and organise them around one’s true individual centre - the Psychic. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/24-february-1951#p38</ref>
&nbsp;==The Process of Individualisation==
<div style="color:#000000;">The first state of one’s being is a state of an almost total mixture with all things from outside. Here there is almost no individualisation, that is, specialisation which makes one a unique being. One is moved by all the common universal forces, vital forces or mental forces, which act through one’s form. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/14-december-1955#p18</divref>
&nbsp;However, slowly from this state of being one begins to move towards the individual ego. At this stage the individual is able to stand against the mass currents and charter one's own course of development using personalised ideas and will.
<span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">Individualisation, This is a stage of mental individualisation where one gains the capacity for original thought and creativity and develops the capacity to take up all experiences influence and organise them around impact the divine centre</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">surrounding mass consciousness. </span><span style="background-color:#c9daf8;color:#000000;">One must organise what one calls "oneself" around However, this ego individuality is still not the psychic centretrue individual, so that it would make is only a singlesurface person, coherent, fully conscious beinglargely a mental construct.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">As It is quite possible to get stuck at this divine centre stage and that is itself already consecrated entirely to when one feels more and more disconnected with oneself. One gets isolated from the larger social life as well as the Divine, if everything is organised harmoniously around Nature and struggles against them for control and mastery. In its excessive development it, everything is consecrated become aggressive or leads to the Divinedeep sense of loneliness and depression. When the Divine thinks Often, it proper and when the work of individualisation is complete, then one has the permission begins to merge look for one’s ego in Divine Consciousness and to live henceforward only for the Divinetrue individuality.</span>

&nbsp;=Why Individualise?=
<span style=It is the step before surrendering the ego. One can't merge one's ego in the Divine before becoming completely individualised. To be able to give oneself, to surrender, one must first exist, and to exist one must be individualised. The "background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;I">As long as or the little ego is constituted by Nature and is at once a mental, vital and physical formation meant to aid in centralising and individualising the outer consciousness and action. If one is not conscious had the power of abolishing the Truth ego ahead of one’s beingtime, one is moved by all kinds of thingswould lose one's individuality. Collective thought When one has realised one’s own individuality sufficiently and collective suggestions are has become a formidable influenceconscious, independent being, which act constantly on individual thoughtthen one no longer needs the ego.

&nbsp;To avoid the usual formidable collective influences. As long as one is not conscious of the Truth of one’s being, one is moved by all kinds of things. Collective thought and collective suggestions are a formidable influence, which act constantly on individual thought. What is extraordinary is that one does not notice it. The mass is always inferior to the individual. It is certain that there is a degree of individual perfection and transformation which cannot be realised without the whole of humanity having made a particular progress. One cannot isolate oneself completely. It is impossible, even if one isolates oneself physically, to do so vitally and mentally. There is the vast terrestrial atmosphere in which one is born, but then there is a sort of spirit or genius of the human race as well. This genius must have reached a certain degree of perfection for anyone to be able to go farther. It is, thus, it is essential to individualise and reach the heights of individual genius and perfection. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/13-january-1951#p26</ref><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/7-october-1953#p47</ref>

Therefore, one needs education.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">An individualised mind is extremely rare, and comes only after a long education.</span>
&nbsp;==Moving Beyond the Superficial Individualisation - Ego==
<span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">And yet even our individualisation ‘genius’ is only a superficial formation, the surface world-being. Behind it there is a consciousness, a Purusha, who is not determined or limited by His his individualisation.</span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;">One’s individualisation exists not just by virtue of the world-being, but also by virtue of a consciousness which uses the world-being for experience of its possibilities of individuality. </span><span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">These two powers, Purusha and His his world-materialbeing, are both necessary for one’s present experience of individuality.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-eternal-and-the-individual#p4</spanref>
&nbspWhen one has passed beyond individualising, then one shall be a real Person. Ego was the helper;Ego is the bar. To begin with, a tremendous labour is required to individualise oneself, and afterwards one must demolish all that has been done in order to progress. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/28-november-1956#p7</ref><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/20-february-1957#p16</ref>
<div style="color:#000000;">A stage comes by the increasing manifestation of the DivineThe more conscious and individualised one becomes, the Ishwara, in all one’s being and actionmore one begins to think that one is here not without reason or without purpose. This One realises suddenly that one is when one here because there is constantly something to be done and uninterruptedly aware of Him. The Divine this something is felt in one’s self as the possessor of one’s being and the ruler of all its workingsnot anything egoistic. All of one’s consciousness is His consciousnessOnce one knows a little, all knowledge is His knowledgeone can find their own method, all thoughts are His thoughtS, all of one’s will is His will, all feelings are His Ananda if one has the genius for it! But first one must stand on one's own feet and forms of His delight in beingknow how to walk. Therefore, all of one’s actions are His actionsone needs education. This An individualised mind is the highest realisation of the perfection extremely rare, and delight of the active oneness; for beyond it there could be comes only the consciousness of the Avatara, the Ishwara Himself assuming after a human name and form for action long education. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/24-march-1951#p31</ref><ref>http://incarnateword.in the Lila/cwm/06/28-july-1954#p59</ref><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/20-february-1957#p6</divref>
&nbsp;==Individualisation, Rebirth and Integral Yoga==
<span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">The From an integral yoga perspective, the Psychic is the true support of our individualisation; the ego is only an outward false substitute</span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;">. The psychic is the secret soul that supports and holds </span><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;">together one’s self-experience and world-experience. The mental, vital, physical, external ego is a superficial construction of Nature. It is only when one has seen both one’s self and nature as a whole, in the depths as well as on the surface, that one can acquire a true basis of knowledge.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/span><span style="backgroundmemory-ego-and-self-color:experience#ffffff;color:#000000;"> p15</spanref>
&nbsp;The psychic being at its origin is only a spark of the divine consciousness and it is through successive lives that it builds up a conscious individuality. It is a progress similar to that of a growing child. For a long time, in most human beings the psychic is a being in the making. It is not a fully individualised, fully conscious being and master of itself and it needs all its rebirths, one after another, in order to build itself and become fully conscious. But this sort of progress has an end. There comes a time when the being is fully developed, fully individualised, fully master of itself and its destiny. When this being has reached that stage and takes birth in a human being, that makes a very great difference: the human being, so to say, is born free. The being is not tied to circumstances, to surroundings, to one’s origin and atavism, like ordinary people.
