The triune human nature
Human nature at its "basic" triune matrix consists of a material, a spiritual-ethereal and one purely spiritual hypostasis; the body, the soul and the divine spark - divine spirit.
This matrix of the human nature allows it to perceive, to elaborate and to act on the phenomena which concern the material, the psychical and the spiritual worlds. Consequently, it has been endowed with sense organs and the analogous means which allow it to project activity in the above-mentioned planes of its existence.
An analysis in depth of these three hypostases will follow in future articles. For now, priority will be given to the presentation of certain very important factors which affect all the planes of the human existence (matter, psychical and spiritual
At present it will be sufficient to state that everything that exists presents two facets, one external and one internal.
The external facet consists of the subjective presence of an object or being and is called "form or shape". The characteristic elements are the visible parts and organs of its body, the smell it emanates, the taste, the chemistry, the mechanical and molecular structure of matter, the weight, the radiance, and so on.
The internal appearance refers to the objective element of an object or being which, by impinging on the spectrum of matter, results in that causality factor which denotes the specific characteristics of the form.
To enable man to collect information and impressions which arise from the dual nature of the objects and of beings, the sense functions should also be of a dual nature.
The sense functions with which human beings can collect the subjective phenomena of the world of form are: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
While the sense functions with which man can approach the internal subjective make up of the human beings are: the ability to conceive ideas and complete thought forms, to sense the type and quality of the life which projects within himself or in other beings, the sense of good and bad, and finally the sense of what is beautiful.
All these functions are within every man and become instantly operational at birth. It is possible to have these refined and enstregthened to a great degree, depending on the choices that a human being makes in his life; for instance, in the case of a good (of a good - repetition) painter, a musician, a philosopher, etc.
In the next article we will refer to a decisive factor of life which relates to a remarkable feature in human nature.
