SEMINAR 01: STUDY OF THE HUMAN BEING
INTRODUCTION
Legitimacy of this study
If the human does not apply himself to the study of his being, he will only dispose of it what he knows from experience: “the human is an ignorant scientist”. Human consciousness is subject to the need to seek knowledge, knowledge.
The nature of things and the laws that govern them are only understood by humans when they study them. And this study leads him to a better management of life. The usefulness of study is therefore founded in the essence of things, in the consciousness as well as in the expression of a better qualitative life.
The choice of the study of the human, to begin with, is dictated by the fact that the human is obvious to us.
By observing the human we discover three different aspects:
1. The physical reality of his being: the body. This body is made of matter; it is made and covered with living and specific organs inside and out. The body is totally organized and it is alive. It is a unit of living organs.
2. Consciousness, or intelligence, which is also made up of dynamic and effective faculties (attention, memory, reflection, affectivity, etc.). All these faculties are alive and constitute a unity. However, this consciousness is immaterial in nature while the body is material;
3. The will, or the personality, which manifests itself in faculties in the form of powers (example: power to choose, to decide, to execute, to experiment, etc.). These powers are alive and united in the personality. Will is also immaterial like consciousness.
UNITY OF THE HUMAN
We can also see that a human is constituted as a being (existence) of three different realities: body, consciousness and personality (will). Each of these three levels is organized, unified and alive in itself. But they are also unified and alive together. They are inseparable in the actual functioning of a human being. Thus, we conclude that what we call man is a “^Living Being”.
BEING, that is, it is made up of separate but unified parts.
ALIVE, that is, this whole is still functioning in a meaningful and purposeful way. This living being, the Human, acts as a man and nothing else.
Man cannot have a life without a body; this is the tool, the interface, through which man exists, lives and expresses himself. Who has been able to unite in an effective functioning these 3 realities, body consciousness and personality, which constitute man? This act only seems possible to the one called the CREATOR.
It therefore only remains for man to tackle the study of creatures, including himself, the study of creation, including the earth, and finally the study of the CREATOR.
Let us recall here that the human conscience is subject to the need to seek knowledge, knowledge. This knowledge (science) leads him to understand the nature of things and beings as well as the laws that move them. The study of the nature of things leads him to know a better way to manage his life. Knowledge is therefore necessary.
Since man is obvious to us, that is to say accessible and easily observable, we begin with his study, and it is through his study that we will finally arrive at the study of the Creator.

I. STUDY OF CONSCIOUSNESS
This study is not the one that psychology or philosophy does on human consciousness. We are going to study human consciousness as God created it. From this point of view, it comprises seven fundamental and necessary faculties for life, called ADJUVATES. The method of the study consists in studying the fact and then its operation by observation and highlighting.
The term adjuvat comes from the Latin word adjuvare which means “to help, to assist, to favor”. This word is therefore not chosen at random and already manifests in its root all the meaning of the function of the adjutants. The adjutants are therefore there to help man, to accompany him in his daily life. If we go further in the analysis of the word, adjuvare is broken down into ad and iuvare. Iuvare is the Latin verb meaning “to help”. Ad is a preposition that expresses the general idea of movement, of direction: to go towards, to go to. It also expresses the idea of direction, adaptation and support, result and outcome. Thus, adjutants are available to man for a specific purpose. They are not there by chance. Man will therefore go to them (ad) for a specific purpose and they will respond to his call to help him achieve something, to achieve something. They accompany man in his progress, in his journey of life.
1) Orientation and intuition adjutant
1 Orientation: we find that men can go left or right, forward or backward, rise or fall, turn in one direction or the other; in short, man is able to orient himself, that is to say, to choose a direction and to move in it. Thus, he possesses the adjutant of orientation. We can see that throughout the day, man is called upon to act or move in many directions. Every action he performs requires direction. The orientation adjutant is fundamental and necessary for life: it allows man to structure his physical environment and to evolve in it.
2 Intuition: a human being lives in an environment; he seizes each object that surrounds him, that comes towards him or that he encounters and he gets a significant idea of it fairly quickly and accurately. He can perceive his environment and enter into a relationship with it not only through his physical perceptions, his senses, but also through intuition, which is the immediate and instantaneous apprehension of the things that surround us. Intuition is the immediate understanding of things without involving reason. In the same way, man is inclined to externalize his feelings or thoughts on and in relation to the environment; the more he succeeds in it, the more he adapts his life to the outside world. So we see that human beings have that aspect of faculty which we call intuition. This faculty is also fundamental and necessary for life to be effective: it allows man to interact with his environment by allowing him to make sense of it and to understand it quickly. It also allows him to find his place in the physical, social and cosmic environment… It is in a way the “pifometer”.
Thanks to its double relation system, human life becomes really possible. In conclusion, the adjutant of orientation and intuition is a real mental faculty in man, it is fundamental and effective in enabling man to live in his environment.
2) Adjuvant of understanding, analysis and synthesis
It is the impulse of coordination, the association of spontaneous and apparently automatic ideas. It is the gift of coordinating acquired knowledge and experiences; the phenomenon of keen reasoning.
It allows analysis, reflection on the events and things that surround us; it allows us to structure the world in which we evolve and to give it meaning. We can play on the word “meaning”: we give meaning to the world and we also give it a purpose, a direction! It also allows us to understand why we do such and such a thing. It allows thoughtful and voluntary action.
The Comprehension Adjutant allows connection. The process takes place from point to point.
3) Adjutant of courage and action:
It is noted that each individual can state intentions. The adjutant of courage and action urges us to transform these intentions into projects and to carry them out. “It’s not because it’s difficult that we don’t dare, but it’s because we don’t dare that it’s difficult”. (Seneca). We see that nothing happens in life without action. The adjutant of courage and action is the basis of the formation of character, of intellectual root, of moral vigor, of fidelity to a system of values. The adjutant of courage and action is fundamental and necessary for life. It allows man to push his limits and do. Intention-project-action.
4) Adventure and knowledge adjutant
Through this adjutant, man can change, evolve, discover, experiment, wonder, explore. It opens up to transformation. There are 4 components in this adjuvant:
– curiosity
– the ability to change
– the sense of progress / aspiration to become even better
– the meaning of the evaluation.
Curiosity is the mother of adventures and discoveries: without curiosity, man would not be driven to want to understand things, the world in which he lives. It is curiosity that leads to exploration, from the discovery of other horizons. This curiosity goes hand in hand with the ability to transform, to change. The discoveries and explorations made by man cannot leave him unmoved: he wonders about these discoveries and explorations. He evaluates them, analyzes them and uses them for a change for the better.
We see that men have the aspiration to become more, to grow, and to evolve.
5) Adjutant of association and advice
Humans are social beings who are driven to form networks to ensure their survival and development. This adjutant therefore allows him to form links with his peers, to be part of a structure and to participate actively in it. It allows him to make his contribution to the whole and to cooperate with others. Networks are created at different levels: family, local, regional, national, international, cosmic…
This shows that humans possess an adjutant of association or counsel, this is fundamental and necessary for life.
Conclusion on the first five adjutants
The adjutants are present from the appearance of life on earth and they give themselves to the living organism in proportion to its evolution. Animals use the five adjutants like humans but instinctively, that is to say purely mechanically, while humans use the adjutants in a reasoned way.
The five adjutants allow the human to know himself, to recognize the alter ego, and to identify his environment. They allow humans to evolve in their environment, to function fully.
Humans naturally use adjutants even if they are not aware of them.
On the other hand, as soon as he becomes aware of them, he can appeal to them in a conscious and relevant way. The conscious and relevant use of adjutants allows man to develop and express his full potential.
Adjutants never jostle at the level of an individual’s consciousness, they live in perfect harmony. The adjutants never run out, they are used throughout life and they always keep the same efficiency of response. More generally, all men use the adjutants, those who are dead have already used them and the source has never dried up, because God is the Source.
6) Adjuvat of adoration (in Latin: ad “orare” = to speak to God)
This adjutant prompts the human to fulfill their desire felt at least once, at some point or another, to know where they come from!
At the level of adolescents, we very often notice a real desire to know God, his nature, his place of existence, why He created us, why He created the Universe. This is the big question, why there are things rather than nothing, why I exist, for what purpose and what meaning to give to life.
It can be seen that as people age, they tend to frequent men and places of worship in hopes of fellowship with God.
We thus see that at all ages: childhood, youth and adult, men seek to know the nature of God and his Will, this proves that they have an adjutant of adoration.
It is the functioning of this adjutant of worship that has produced the cults of religions. These religions appeared at all ages of humanity, they constitute the basis of a brotherhood of spirit between humans.
True religion is the act of an individual soul in its self-conscious relationship with the Creator. Organized religion is the attempt of men to socialize the worship of individual religious people.
7) Wisdom adjutant:
It is the adjutant of knowledge and know-how. The word wisdom means from God’s point of view one who knows without having ever
It is the functioning of this adjutant of worship that has produced the cults of religions. These religions appeared at all ages of humanity, they constitute the basis of a brotherhood of spirit between humans.
The word wisdom means in the Cosmic Reality a creative activity: a unification of different elements to realize a significant fact. In this last respect, humans have the adjutant of wisdom and practice it extensively. Example :
*In procreation they put the egg and the sperm together to make a child.
• In agriculture, humans re-apply the wisdom adjutant relating seeds to the earth and subsequently obtain plants.
• In the social realm, humans apply this wisdom adjutant in companionship, friendship, interpersonal relationships in general. This adjutant of wisdom also illuminates all the contracts humans make with each other in society. This adjutant of wisdom also functions at the level of services: for example, a doctor and a patient, a teacher and a student.
The great quest of the human being will be to unify her will with that of God: this is the great wisdom. The wisdom adjutant functions fundamentally in the unifying relationship between God and man. The adjutant of wisdom manifests itself to us in our desire to become more and more like God.
