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.

11

A term used to separate man from other Human Classifications Human Being

like animals. Refers to an individual who possess self-awareness, selfdetermination, 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:

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.

12

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/103122385263/22signs-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

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 c...
