LESSON 3: THE HUMAN PERSON
AS AN EMBODIED SPIRIT

 To recognize own limitations or possibilities for one's

transcendence
 To evaluate own limitations and the possibilities for
one's transcendence
 To recognize how the human body imposes limits and
possibilities for transcendence
 To distinguish the limitations and possibilities for
transcendence
THOMAS MERTON(1948)

 There is no other way for us to find who we are

than by finding in ourselves the Divine image.
We have to struggle to regain spontaneous and
vital awareness of our own spirituality.
 He talks about a continual movement away
from inner and outer idols and toward union
with the desert God of his Christian faith.

 We are just humans, as others have said, who

may commit mistakes. But the fact that we are
humans, we have the knowledge, wisdom,
freedom and free will that we must strive hard
to attain that perfection to be worthy of God’s
love and blessings. We must not commit the
same mistakes again and again.

 3 The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit

Transcendental Transcendence

Climbing or going beyond, with varying

connotations in its different historical and
cultural stages
Is the existence that is present beyond
normal or physical level.
 3 The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit

Transcendental Transcendence

The fact that we have a soul that is

capable of coming to life and experiencing
profound and hidden values, which the
flesh and its senses can never discover
alone. This spirituality in us is identified
with the divine image in our soul.
3 The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit
A. Hinduism
• is the main religion of India which includes the worship
of many gods and the belief that after you die you return
to life in a different form.
A. Hinduism
• At the heart of Hinduism lies the idea of human
beings’ quest for absolute truth so that one’s soul
and the Brahman or Atman (Absolute Soul)
become one.
• For the Indians, God first created sound and the
universe arose from it.
• The Aum (Om) is the root of the universe and
everything that exists and it continues to hold
everything together.
A. Hinduism
• Human beings have a dual nature: one is the
spiritual and immortal essence (soul); the other is
the empirical life and character.
• Between these 2 natures, it is maintained that it is
the soul that is ultimately real. The existence of
the body, in fact, is considered as nothing more
than an illusion and even an obstacle to an
individual’s realization of one’s real self.
A. Hinduism
• Hindus generally believe that the soul is eternal
but is bound by the laws of Karma (action) to the
world of matter, which can only be escaped only
after spiritual progress through an endless series
of births.
• God allots rewards and punishments to all beings
according to karma (Puligandla 1997).
• Similar to a prisoner enclosed within the wall of
his prison, a human being’s soul can be said to be
temporarily encased in his body.
• For this reason, humanity’s goal in life is the
liberation (moksha) of spirit (jiva).
A. Hinduism
Moksha
• an enlightened state wherein one attains one’s true
selfhood and finds oneself one with the One, the
Ultimate Reality, the All-Comprehensive Reality-
Brahman.
• release from samsara and liberation from karma together
with the attainment of Nirvana for the Hindu or kaivalya
for the Jain;
• salvation from the bondage of finite existence
A. Hinduism
Ultimate Moksha
 leads the spirit out of the monotonous
cycle of life and death (samsara) to a
state of “nothingness” (in the context of
physical being) where the bliss of being
one with Brahman compensates for all
the sufferings the individual underwent
in his erstwhile existence in the physical
world (Andres 1994).
A. Hinduism
Jiva
 the vital energy of life

 the individual soul

A. Hinduism
holds that:
• humanity's life is a continuous cycle (samsara).
• the spirit is neither born nor does it die.
• the body goes through a transmigratory series of
births and deaths.
Transmigration or metempsychosis is the doctrine
that adheres to the belief that a person’s soul
passes into some other creature, human or animal.
If the person has led a good life, the soul goes
upward the scale. The soul of an evil person, on
the other hand, may pass into the body of an
animal.
A. Hinduism
• There will be no end in the cycle unless the
individual exerts real efforts to break away or
liberate one’s spirit from the monotonous cycle.
• Different Hindu schools and sects have different
views about the method of release (moksha)
from this transmigration.
• Ultimate liberation (freedom from rebirth) is
achieved the moment the individual attains that
stage of life emancipation, from which inevitably
arises a total realization by the individual of
spiritual nature as well as the transient character
of the body.
A. Hinduism
• One common concept to all expressions of
Hinduism is the oneness of reality. This oneness
is the absolute, or Brahman, which the mind can
never fully grasp or express in words.
• Only Brahman is real; everything else is illusory
manifestation of it.
• The concept of “atman” (no self) is a correlative
belief which means that the “I” (self) is an
illusion, for each true self is one with Brahman.
• When we realize this unity with the absolute, we
realize our true destiny.
A. Hinduism
4 Primary Values
a. worldly values
wealth when kept in perspective
pleasure are good and desirable.
b. spiritual values
3. duty or righteousness – refers to
patience, sincerity, fairness, love, honesty,
etc.
4. Enlightenment – by which one is
illuminated, liberated and finds release
from the wheel of existence.
Repeated existence is the destiny of those
who do not achieve enlightenment.
A. Hinduism
To understand enlightenment, one
must understand the law of karma,
the law of sowing and reaping. All
of us, through what we do and do
not do, supposedly determine our
destiny. The wheel of existence
turns until we achieve
enlightenment, after which we are
released from this series of
rebirth.
B. Buddhism
Buddhism is a faith that was founded by
Siddhartha Gautama (“the Buddha”)
more than 2,500 years ago in India.
With about 470 million followers,
scholars consider Buddhism as one of
the major world religions. Its practice
has historically been most prominent in
East and Southeast Asia, but its
influence is growing in the West. Many
Buddhist ideas and philosophies overlap
with those of other faiths.
B. Buddhism
Gautama was from a wealthy family. He
was a prince in present-day Nepal.
Although he had an easy life, he decided
to give up his lavish lifestyle and endure
poverty. When this didn’t fulfill him, he
promoted the idea of the “Middle Way,”
which means existing between two
extremes. Thus, he sought a life without
social indulgences but also without
deprivation.
B. Buddhism
After six years of searching, Buddhists
believe Gautama found enlightenment
while meditating under a Bodhi tree. He
spent the rest of his life teaching others
about how to achieve this spiritual state.
When Gautama passed away around
483 B.C., his followers began to organize
a religious movement. Buddha’s
teachings became the foundation for
what would develop into Buddhism.
B. Buddhism
In the 3rd century B.C., Ashoka the
Great, the Mauryan Indian emperor,
made Buddhism the state religion of
India. Buddhist monasteries were built,
and missionary work was encouraged.
Over the next few centuries, Buddhism
began to spread beyond India. The
thoughts and philosophies of Buddhists
became diverse, with some followers
interpreting ideas differently than
others.
B. Buddhism
• Buddha’s teachings are known as
“dharma” (Law of Salvation) – a
simple presentation of the gospel of
inner cultivation of right spiritual
attitudes, coupled with a self-imposed
discipline whereby bodily desires
would e channeled in the right
directions.
• He taught that wisdom, kindness,
patience, generosity and compassion
were important virtues.
B. Buddhism
Specifically, all Buddhists live by five
moral precepts, which prohibit:
1. Killing living things
2. Taking what is not given
3. Sexual misconduct
4. Lying
5. Using drugs or alcohol
B. Buddhism
Four Noble Truths which Buddha taught, are:
1. The truth of suffering (dukkha) – life is full of
suffering
2. The truth of the cause of suffering (samudaya)
– that is, passionate desires, lusts, cravings
3. The truth of the end of suffering (nirhodha) -
only as these are obliterated
4. The truth of the path that frees us from
suffering (magga) – eradication of desires by
following the Eightfold Path of earnest
endeavor.
B. Buddhism
Eightfold Path
The Buddha taught his followers that the end of suffering,
as described in the fourth Noble Truths, could be achieved
by following an Eightfold Path which teaches the following
ideals for ethical conduct, mental disciple and achieving
wisdom:
1. Right understanding (Samma ditthi)
2. Right thought (Samma sankappa)
3. Right speech (Samma vaca)
4. Right action (Samma kammanta)
5. Right livelihood (Samma ajiva)
6. Right effort (Samma vayama)
7. Right mindfulness (Samma sati)
8. Right concentration (Samma samadhi)
B. Buddhism

PRACTICE
1. love
2. sorrow
3. joy in the joy of others
4. equanimity/self-control as
regards one’s own joy and
sorrows
C. Christianity
 Christianity is the most widely practiced
religion in the world, with more than 2
billion followers; a religion based upon
the teachings and miracles of Jesus.
 The Christian faith centers on beliefs
regarding the birth, life, death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
 Christians are monotheistic, they believe
there’s only one God, and He created
the heavens and the earth. This divine
Godhead consists of three parts: the
father (God himself), the son (Jesus
Christ) and the Holy Spirit.
 C. Christianity
 The essence of Christianity revolves
around the life, death and Christian beliefs
on the resurrection of Jesus. Christians
believe God sent His son Jesus, the
Messiah, to save the world. They believe
Jesus was crucified on a cross to offer the
forgiveness of sins and was resurrected
three days after His death before
ascending to heaven.
 Christians contend that Jesus will
return to earth again in what’s known
as the Second Coming.
C. Christianity
• The Holy Bible includes important scriptures
that outline Jesus’s teachings, the lives and
teachings of major prophets and disciples,
and offer instructions for how Christians
should live.
• Both Christians and Jews follow the Old
Testament of the Bible, but Christians also
embrace the New Testament.
• The cross is a symbol of Christianity.
• The most important Christian holidays
are Christmas (which celebrates the birth of
Jesus) and Easter (which commemorates the
resurrection of Jesus).
C. Christianity
While it started with a small group of
adherents, many historians regard the
spread and adoption of Christianity
throughout the world as one of the most
successful spiritual missions in human.
C. Christianity
In the 5th century, Augustine's writing is
considered to be the most influential in the
early medieval period.
For Augustine (354-430 CE), philosophy
is amor sapiental, the love of wisdom; its
aim is to produce happiness. Wisdom is not
just an abstract logical construction but it is
substantially existent as the Divine Logos.
Hence, Philosophy is the love of God; It is
then religious. Teachings of Christianity
are based of love of God.
C. Christianity
 As French Poetry laments:
 Philosophie

J'ai tout lu. I have everything

J'ai tout vu I have seen all
J'ai tout connu I knew all
J'ai tout entendu I have heard all
J'ai tout eu I had it all
Et je suis...un peu perdu I had lost... I am a bit lost
 It should be taken as a humble acceptance of the
fact that human beings alone, without God, are
bound to fail.
C. Christianity
 John 15:5 – I am the vine, you are
the branches. If you remain in me
and I in you, you will bear much fruit;
apart from me, you can do nothing.
C. Christianity
 Psalms 92:5-7 – O LORD, how great
are thy works! and thy thoughts are
very deep. Ignorant people don't
know— fools don't understand
this: though the wicked spring up like
grass and all evildoers seem to
blossom, they do so only to be
destroyed forever.
C. Christianity
 For Augustine, Christianity as
presenting the full revelation of the
true God, is the only full and true
philosophy. However, we can love
only that which we know.
C. Christianity
 When comes this knowledge?
 It begins with faith and is made perfect
by understanding. All knowledge leads
to God, so that faith supplements and
enlightens reason that it may proceed to
ever richer and fuller understanding.
Indeed, without this enlightenment of
faith, reason invariably, sooner or later,
goes astray.
C. Christianity
 Only the pure in heart shall see God; the
progress in knowledge and wisdom is
not only speculative, it is more
fundamentally practical and moral.
Augustine’s theory of knowledge is at
one with the procedures of speculative
mysticism. From this mystic love and
intuition of God follow all the principles
to direct humanity in all their
undertakings.
C. Christianity
 St. Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican priest and Scriptural
theologian, took seriously the medieval maxim that
“grace perfects and builds on nature; it does not set it
aside or destroy it.” Therefore, insofar as Thomas
thought about philosophy as the discipline that
investigates what we can know naturally about God and
human beings, he thought that good Scriptural theology,
since it treats those same topics, presupposes good
philosophical analysis and argumentation.
 Although Thomas authored some works of pure
philosophy, most of his philosophizing is found in the
context of his doing Scriptural theology.
C. Christianity
 For St. Thomas of Aquinas, of all creatures, human
beings have the unique power to change themselves
and the things for the better.
 His philosophy is best grasped in his treatises Summa
Contra Gentiles and Summa Theologica.
 He considers human as moral agent.
 We are both spiritual and body (material) elements.
 The unity between both elements indeed helps us to
understand our complexity as human beings.
C. Christianity
 Our spirituality separates us from animals; it
differentiates moral dimension of our
fulfillment in action.
 Through our spirituality, we have a conscience.
Thus, whether we choose to be “good” or “evil”
becomes our responsibility.

Possibilities for Transcendence
 A. Forgiveness
 B. The Beauty of Nature

 C. Vulnerability

 D. Failure

 E. Loneliness

 F. Love
3 3.2. Evaluate Own Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
1. Forgiveness
 When we forgive, we are freed
from our anger and bitterness
because of the actions and/or
words of another. On the other
hand, the hardness of our heart is
reinforced by whole series of
rational arguments.
3 3.2. Evaluate Own Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
2. The Beauty of Nature
 There is perfection in every single flower;
this is what the three philosophies
believed. For a hug, for every sunrise and
sunset, to eat together as a family, are
our miracles. These kinds of experiences
can be truly moments of grace. They
touch us deeply and the human heart is
spontaneously lifted. During this
experience, we need to offer praise.
 3 3.2. Evaluate Own Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
3. Vulnerability
 To be invulnerable is somehow inhuman. To be
vulnerable is to be human. Supermen or superheroes
are hiding from their true humanity. The experience that
we are contingent, that we are dependent for our
existence on another is frightening. To work in the office
or study in school, without acknowledging the help of
others, is to live without meaning and direction. We
need to acknowledge the help of other people in our
lives. Such moments of poverty and dependence on
others are not a sign of weakness but being true with
ourselves.
 3 3.2. Evaluate Own Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
 4. Failure
 Our failures force us to comfort our weaknesses and
limitations. When a relationship fails, when a
student fails a subject, when our immediate desires
are not met, we are confronted with the possibility of
our plans, and yet, we are forced to surrender to a
mystery or look upon a bigger world. Such
acceptance of our failures makes us hope and trust
that all can be brought into good. Even if we have
sinned, as Augustine had, there is hope and
forgiveness.
 3 3.2. Evaluate Own Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
 5. Loneliness
 Our loneliness can be rooted from our sense of
vulnerability and fear of death. This experience is so
common. However, it is our choice to live in an
impossible world where we are always “happy” or to
accept a life where solitude and companionship
have a part. With our loneliness, we can realize that
our dependence on other people or gadgets is a
possessiveness that we can be free from.
 3 3.2. Evaluate Own Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
 6. Love
 To love is to experience richness, positivity, and
transcendence. Whether in times of ecstatic moments or
struggles, the love for a friend, between family members
or a significant person, can open in us something in the
other which takes us beyond ourselves. Life is full of
risks, fears and commitment, pain and sacrificing and
giving up thing/s we want for the sake of the one we
love. In a Buddhist view, the more we love, the more
risks and fears there are in life (Aguilar 2010 as cited by
Ramos, 2016).
RECOGNIZE THE HUMAN BODY IMPOSES

TRANSCENDENCE
A. Hinduism: Reincarnation and Karma

C. St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas:

HINDUISM: REINCARNATION AND
KARMA
 Reincarnation, transmigration of souls or
“metempsychosis”
 Karma – everything in life is a consequence of
actions performed in previous existence. Only by
building up a fine record or “karma” can final
salvation be achieved.
 Karma and reincarnation are inseparable and
reincarnation is a logical consequence of karma.

 Karma and reincarnation are inseparable and

BUDDHISM: NIRVANA

 The word nirvana is so prevalent for English

speakers that its true meaning is often lost. The
word has been adopted to mean "bliss" or
"tranquility."
 Nirvana – is the state in which one is absolutely
free from all forms of bondage and attachment.
BUDDHISM: NIRVANA
 In the spiritual
definition, nirvana (or nibbana in
Pali) is an ancient Sanskrit word
that means something like "to
extinguish". This has literal
meaning that has caused many
westerners to assume that the goal
of Buddhism is to obliterate
oneself.
 But that's not at all what Buddhism,
or nirvana, is about.
BUDDHISM: NIRVANA
 The liberation entails extinguishing
the condition of samsara, the
suffering of dukkha; Samsara is
usually defined as the cycle of birth,
death, and rebirth, although in
Buddhism this is not the same as the
rebirth of discreet souls, as it is in
Hinduism, but rather a rebirth of
karmic tendencies. Nirvana is also
said to be liberation from this cycle
and dukkha, the
stress/pain/dissatisfaction of life.
ST. AUGUSTINE & ST. THOMAS
AQUINAS: WILL AND LOVE
 For St. Augustine – physically we are free, yet
morally bound to obey the law. The Eternal Law is
God Himself.
 According to this law, humanity must do well and
avoid evil, hence, the existence of moral
obligation in every human being. However, no
human being should become an end to himself.
We are responsible to our neighbors as we are to
our own actions.
ST. AUGUSTINE & ST. THOMAS
AQUINAS: WILL AND LOVE
 Innocence of heart and purity can only be gained
by God’s grace. God alone can give that gift to
some instantly or to others at the end of an entire
life’s struggle. The gift, in itself, is a major triumph.
Through prayer, modesty, fasting and other sound
measures that the Church recommends, or God
provides, can purity of heart, mind and body be
maintained and daily lived (Johnston 2006).
ST. AUGUSTINE & ST. THOMAS
AQUINAS: WILL AND LOVE

 https://youtu.be/ZEBOb-H1NbY
ST. AUGUSTINE & ST. THOMAS
AQUINAS: WILL AND LOVE
 Definitely, to live a chaste life is difficult. All are
called to be chaste whether married or single. For
to be pure is also to be holy. Though all are called
to different lifestyles, all are called to be holy, pure
and chaste within that lifestyle.
 Any lifestyle that does not include these virtues,
even with consenting individuals, is not pleasing
to God; for it does not lead to holiness,
selflessness and full honesty.
ST. AUGUSTINE & ST. THOMAS
AQUINAS: WILL AND LOVE
 For St. Augustine, though we are physically free,
one does not have a right to do anything if it is not
morally right or if one will hurt another. Rightness
means pleasing to God. God has given us a
choice to discern between right and wrong though
we are often ignorant in this manner unless we
are wholly sincere, honest and pure ( Johnston
2006).
 3 3.4. Distinguish the Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
After understanding the precepts of
Hinduism and Buddhism, let us
distinguish the limits and possibilities of
human beings common to all Indian
thought:
1. It is the spiritual that endures and is
ultimately real. In Hinduism,. the human
aspiration is to move to the divine, what
we believe is how we live; if our beliefs are
in error then out lives will be unhappy.
 3 3.4. Distinguish the Limitations and
Possibilities for Transcendence
 There is the preoccupation with the
inner life - the road to enlightenment
that stretches not outward but inward.
To understand nature and the universe,
we must turn within.
 There is an emphasis on the
nonmaterial oneness of creation. This
means that there are no polarities ; a
single spirit provides cosmic harmony.
Chapter

3 Distinguish the limitations and possibilities for

Transcendence. insiders human as moral agent
The spiritual and material.

• There is the acceptance of direct

awareness as the only way to understand
what is real. The Indians find this direct
perception through spiritual exercises,
perhaps through the practice of yoga.
Reason is of some use but in the final
analysis, it is only through inner
experience of oneness with all of creation.
• There is a healthy respect for tradition but
never a slavish commitment to it. The
past can teach but never die.
EVIL AND SUFFERING
Suffering is close to the heart
of biblical faith. In
comparison with the Buddha,
who saw life in suffering and
tried to control it instead of
cursing it, Job, of the Old
Testament, did not just
complain. He cursed the day
he was born! In a
phenomenological perspective,
all us will continue to assert
our will against others,
adding to the overall suffering
of human experience.
EVIL AND SUFFERING
In Christianity, suffering leads to the
cross, the symbol of reality of God’s
saving love for the human being.
Suffering, in Buddhism, gives rise to
compassion for suffering humanity.
Compassion is the heart of religion, but
compassion can disappear from it.
Religion, without compassion, becomes
law and burden imposed in its
adherents. If there is no compassion,
religion can start wars that destroy
enemies. Jesus condemned religion
without compassion and constructed,
thus, the parable of the Good
Samaritan.
DISTINGUISH THE LIMITATIONS
AND POSSIBILITIES
 The Human aspiration
is to move to the divine.
What we believe is how
we live; if our beliefs are
in error, then our lives
will be unhappy.

SUMMARY

The transpersonal
worldwide of the Filipino
underlies the belief that
the individual can go
beyond human limitations.
The transpersonal
worldview encompasses the
world as run by ”spirit” or
“spirits” of God, mind,
providence, and others.

Wisdom.
• Buddhism preaches tolerance of
all sincere viewpoint and includes
many of these within it’s own
spiritual teachings

change, cannot be done by
Human beings alone, but is
achieved with cooeration with
God.
