41. How are the body and the spirit related?

42. Philosophers considers human persons as defined by the union of the body and the spirit. The human person is an embodied spirit.

43. Not only are the body and spirit united, but they are also integrated with each other. This means that we cannot separate the two and they go hand in hand in making us who we are.

44. Whatever affects the body also affects the spirit, and this unique trait of the person enables him or her to experience both the physical world and the spiritual world.

45. EMBODIMENT Enables us to do and experience all the things that makes us human persons.

46. EMBODIMENT Experience is a product of embodiment. Aside from perceiving our surroundings, we also react to the things we experience emotionally.

47. EMBODIMENT The human body serves as a mediator between the material world and the spiritual world. Human embodiment allows a person to attach a certain feelings or ideas not only to people, but also for objects.

48. EMBODIMENT With human embodiment, physical acts are no longer purely physical acts, because the body conveys something from a person’s inner world. These emotions and ideas are given to another person who, because of interiority, recognizes the thoughts that the other wishes to convey.
