Lesson
The Human Person as an
1 Embodied Spirit

Do you still remember those days when you were playing outside your home?
Playing with your friends or classmates all day long then waiting for a certain time
for afternoon’s anime or fictional movies like Slamdunk, Flame of Recca, Dragon Ball,
Princess Sarah, Cinderella and Snow White?

Maybe you are wondering as to why we need to remember those days when
everything was plain and simple. Our time after class were simply spent watching
movies and playing inside or outside our home with brothers, sisters relatives,
friends, friends of friends, classmates and schoolmates.

You might ask me why? Why do we have to go back and remember our childhood
days? What is the relevance of our childhood memories to our present times? You
will find out, later.

What is It

Are you aware that majority of us could recognize, define and use a certain word
every day without knowing its role and true meaning? Do you believe that there is a
big difference between MAN, PERSON, and HUMAN not only with the definition but
its usage to the society as a whole? Yes, I know that these words are very common
to us but this is the right moment for us to know more about it! Are you with me?
Are you ready for our new journey? Let’s go!

The time has come! Let’s get started! Today’s journey will help us identify and
understand the Human Person as an Embodied Sprit has something to do with
defining Man, Human, Human Being, Person, Personhood and Human Nature
(Abella, 2016).
By definition, it is generally and commonly define to
Man represent the entire human race.

A term used to refer for various classifications and species. For

Human a living man, human is under the classification of Mamalia.

 lOMoARcPSD|37699574

A term used to separate man from other Human Classifications

Human Being like animals.

Refers to an individual who possess self-awareness, self-

determination, rational mind, and the capacity to interact with
Person other and with himself/herself.

A general term refers to the state of being a person with unique,

Personhood sacred and ethical status within him/herself.

A general term refers to the deepest and natural behaviour of a

person that distinguish human from animals. A collective traits
Human Nature that formed and considered the very essence of humanity.
Nobody can be considered man without human nature.

What is Human Person? Let’s find out!

From the definition provided above, the human and the

person, respectively, are defined with classified origin of
species and persons with birth rights. Human person is
someone with an exact origin of his/her classification.
From the biblical perspective, we came from Adam and

Eve. For Science, we came from an Ape under the Class: What-is-a-soul?no_redirect=1

Mamallia.

Human person from time after time learned how to live beyond what was
traditional through the various human evolutions from Hominid to Homo Sapiens
or the Modern Man people learn the concept of power, politics and economics.
These reasons served as basis which led to a more structured political and
economic system. Thus, rights of an individual is considered. A human person is
typically with a body which is tangible and has a three components composed of
SOUL, MIND and SPIRIT. Also, he or she is entitled and granted rights and
privileges by the state which he or she legally belong.

 lOMoARcPSD|37699574

There are two general kinds to distinguish a human person: The Cognitive Self
and the Physical Self. The Cognitive Self (something within and cannot be
physically seen) is the essential components of a human persons that deals with
THE WHAT OF A PERSON which includes human persons’ belief, desire, dreams,
and intentions. The other is one is the Physical Self (something can be seen in
his/her physical appearance) which deals with the essential features of the
human way of life or THE WHO OF A PERSON which includes his/her body type,
strength and appearances.

What is Embodied Spirit? Let’s find out!

Embodied spirit is an animating core
living within each of us. It is known to be
the driving force behind what we actually
think, do and say. It is indeed the reflections of
our total being by which our sensations lead to
our human feelings, emotions and
decision. The usual and known connotation
that comes to our mind when we hear the word
“embodied” is always materialized or became
Photo from: https://angelsandcelestials.tumblr.com/post/103122385263/22-
signs-that-you-are-embodying-your-higher-self flesh (with physical form). Thus, when we say
“embodied spirit”, we normally believed and conclude of a spirit becoming flesh.

In the context and views of Christian philosophy, the embodiment of the spirit
particularly refers to the inseparable union of human body and soul.
Inseparable which also means the body and soul work together at all times.
Hence, we can safely say that “embodied spirit” that the body is not separate from
the soul, just as the soul is not separate from the body.

What is Human Person as Embodied Spirit? Let’s find out!

As an embodied spirit human beings demonstrate these following qualities
(Abella, 2016):

1. “Self- awareness refers to person having a clear perception of oneself,

including his or her thoughts, emotions, identity, and actions (Abella,
2016).” It is the ability of one’s consciousness to look inward thus
discovering the presence of a self.

13

Downloaded by MR.P Subscribe ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|37699574

The self is the subject that thinks, feels and acts. It is your I amness (Wilber,
2006). The self enables a person to experience an inner world of dreams,
thoughts, imagination, fantasy (Abella, 2016). Thus, the self represents
man’s interiority (loob in Filipino).

2. A human person is able to connect and interact with another person, an

animal or an inanimate object. We call this externality. So even though
human beings have interiority they are not trapped inside their heads. They
are able to go beyond their limited selves and embrace others.

3. We are not determined by others. Because we have interiority; we can direct

the course of our own life. This is what we call self-determination which is
“the capability of persons to make choices and decisions based on their own
preferences, monitor and regulate their actions, and be goal oriented and
self-directed” (Abella 2016) Thus human beings are free.
However since our actions are based on our decisions we have to realized
that every decision has a consequence(s). There are some actions that are
good because they lead to good consequences and some actions are bad
because they lead to bad consequences. The result of our freedom is
morality which is “the goodness or badness of an act” (Abella 2016)

4. Finally a human person has an inherent value and importance. This is what
we call dignity. That is why no amount of money can equal the value of a
human life. This is also the reason why individual rights are absolute (Rand
1964). The American Founding Fathers called rights as “inalienable”
because it cannot be separated from our humanity. If we are stripped off of
our rights we are stripped of our humanity. That is why slaves (who have
no rights) are not being treated as human.

Human Transcendence

St. Thomas Aquinas, a philosopher and one of the greatest theologian in the
Catholic Church in the 13th century, said that “of all creatures, human beings have
the unique power to change themselves and things for the better.” (Ramos, 2016).
We have encountered persons who complain of any given situations or accept the
reality or status in life as God-given thing. We heard a man sighing on TV during the

14

Downloaded by MR.P Subscribe ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|37699574

early stage of Covid-19, “mahirap maging mahirap.” Though it is true that poverty
is not just personal but also structural, as an individual person you know that you
can do something to change the situation. This power is your ability to surpass your
limits. This is the definition of Transcendence. You are able to transcend your
limit through your physical and mental abilities. (Abella, 2016).

Religion and philosophy teaches human beings to overcome our limits. In

technological parlance, humans can upgrade themselves. Take for example,
Buddhism. Buddha realized that all people suffers. Maybe in your case you just
accept your own suffering as part of life but not for Buddha. This reality ignited his
curiosity to examine and understand the word suffering. He left his royal life in the
palace and spent his life for 6 years in the wilderness to find answers for his
questions. And when he sat under the Tree of Enlightenment for 40 days, voila he
finds the answers. The Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Paths. For example, “The
Eightfold Path” of Buddhism shown below:

1. Right view- a correct understanding of the

nature of things, specifically the Four
Noble Truths;
2. Right intention, eliminating thoughts of
attachment, detestation, and harmful
intent,
3. Right speech, abstaining from verbal
offenses such as lying, divisive speech,
unforgiving speech, and irrational speech, Photo from: https://buddhaweekly.com/the-noble-eightfold-path/

4. Right action, refraining from physical offenses such as murdering, thieving,

and sexual misbehavior,
5. Right livelihood, evading trades that directly or indirectly damage others, such
as trading slaves, weapons, animals for butchery, intoxicants, or poisons,
6. Right effort, forsaking undesirable states of mind that have already arisen,
preventing undesirable states that have yet to arise, and sustaining positive
states that have already arisen.
7. Right concentration, single-mindedness.
8. Right mindfulness, consciousness of body, feelings, thought, and phenomena.

If you notice this is a universal principle being taught not just by Buddhism?
These are the values what human person needs to succeed. These are examples of

15

Downloaded by MR.P Subscribe ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|37699574

the power mentioned by St. Thomas to change ourselves. If you can do the
eightfold path even if you are not a Buddhist, you can transform yourselves from your
present situation and transcend to what you desire you would be. Just believe in
yourselves. As the Star Struck of GMA7 adheres: Dream, Believe and Survive.
