Study Notes
Understanding the Human Being
- A human being is the co-existence of the Self and the Body
- The Self is the "I"
- The Body is what is perceived by the eyes
Needs of the Self and Body
- Self needs continuous happiness (e.g., respect)
- Body needs physical facilities (e.g., food) that are temporary
- Self needs are qualitative (e.g., feelings of respect, trust)
- Body needs are quantitative (e.g., specific quantities of food, clothing)
- Self needs are fulfilled by right understanding and feelings
- Body needs are fulfilled by physical/chemical things
Activities of the Self and Body
- Self activities (desire, thought, expectation) are continuous
- Body activities (eating, walking) are temporary
The Response of the Self and Body
- Body response is about recognizing and fulfilling needs
- Self response is about knowing, assuming, recognizing, and fulfilling
- Self conduct depends on its assumptions (which are changeable)
- Right assumptions lead to right recognizing and fulfilling, which then create definite conduct
The Self and Body as Entities
- The Self is the conscious entity (with knowing, assuming, recognizing, and fulfilling).
- The Body is the material entity
- The Self needs are related to happiness and feelings
- The Body needs are related to material things and physical facilities.
Understanding Harmony in the Self
- Self activities involve desire, thought, and expectation (imagination)
- Imagination is continuous
- Happiness is dependent on the state of imagination
- Sources of imagination include preconditioning, sensation, and natural acceptance.
Understanding Harmony in the Body and Self
- The Body is a self-organizing system.
- Harmony is achieved when the Self understands its responsibility to the Body (nurturing, protecting, and utilizing it correctly)
- This responsibility creates a feeling of self-regulation which then leads to health
- The Body has physical needs which require certain physical resources (food, shelter, etc.)
- The Body has a need for a routine, exercise, balancing breathing, internal and external care.
- The needs of the Body are distinct from the needs of the Self.
