THE TRIPARTITE - BODY

Biology was one of the subjects I didn’t like a lot in school. I don’t know why but I never found it interesting, maybe you’re like me or not. But, either way, we are forced to learn the subject up till grade 10(at least in India). In the subject, I learned about the human body, all the parts in it, how they work and so on. Today we are going to see more on the body we learned in the biology class as a continuation of the tripartite series.  In this blog, we are going to see the answer to 3 questions about the body, which sums it up well. • What is it? • How is it? • How should it be? 1.WHAT IS IT? The body is basically all that we can see in ourselves physically. The eyes, the nose, the legs and so on. It is also the internal parts and organs that we don’t see. Like the brain, the heart, the hormones and enzymes secreted etc.  The body is not just a matter of organs and parts. It is more than that. It has some other functions to play too. Functions we don’t always reali...

THE TRIPARTITE - Functions

In this blog, we will continue from where we left. We saw that the human design has three parts in it collectively called the tripartite. today we will see more on the functions of the tripartite.  Before we look into the functions, we need to understand the layout of the tripartite. the layout can be understood utilizing three concentric circles. The innermost being the spirit, the middle circle being the soul and the outermost circle depicting the body.    The layout shows that the soul and the spirit are inside the body. The soul is in the middle, which means that the soul is the place of choice between the inputs from the body and spirit. The diagram also tells us that all three parts of the tripartite are interconnected in harmony. They function together in one accord to enable us to live on the earth. On to the functions of the tripartite. Each part has a specific function to play in the human design and can only be played by it. BODY: The physical body and all part...

THE TRIPARTITE - Introduction

We have been looking at the answer to the question ‘who are you?’ from the personality perspective. Now, we are going to look at the answer to the same question from the tripartite perspective. The personality perspective is a very personal way of seeing who you are. Your answer to ‘who are you?’ from the personality perspective will be unique and only applicable to you. Whereas, the tripartite perspective is God’s design of mankind.  Tripartite stands for spirit, soul and body - the three parts of a human being. It is the spirit, soul and body that makes a human being to function in fullness. In order to have a complete understanding of the tripartite, we need to look at it from the point of origin. Therefore, our journey of learning about the tripartite starts from the creation scene. Eden garden, the divine place where man started his life on earth. The garden where the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was found. It is in that garden,  God revealed Hi...
