Lesson 1: Doing Philosophy
I NTRODUCTION WHAT I NEED TO KNOW?
A Blessed Day! How are you today? What are you thinking these past days?
There are so many questions in the universe. Many people perhaps will start a day by
mind boggling things like what to eat, what to wear, deciding on things from basic to the
most complicated.
Due to the diversified realities that we are facing daily, we often forget that our
existence always starts with a wonder, a quest and little did we know that those realties
forced us to seek for answers, more often than not we have to render a decision.
What is interesting to note is that people decide based on the questions raised by
themselves only to find out in the end that the question raised was irrelevant, thus
affecting its life’s due course.
This introductory philosophical moment is integrated with various materials and
activities which will lead you to the general overview in understanding our course.

LESSON 2: METHODS OF PHILOSOPHIZING

The philosophical processes which is considered as the method of philosophizing seems to
be complicated for some due to the varied schools of thoughts and the more it will be
complicated is that each method of philosophizing presents its own standpoint which
sometimes contradicts to the other philosophical perspectives. What helps in the
understanding of such perspective is to see the philosophical lenses having a specific focus
for every epoch that happens in history. Each philosophical lens covers a definite focus which
serves as our enabling factors.
Ancient Period – Focused on Nature as the basic principles of life

1. Atomism- is a Pre-Socratic school of thought from ancient Greece, established in the
late 5th Century B.C. by Leucippus of Miletus (5th Century B.C.) and his more famous
student, Democritus. It teaches that the hidden substance in all physical objects
consists of different arrangements of atoms and void.
2. Platonism is an ancient Greek school of philosophy from the Socratic period, founded
around 387 B.C. by Socrates' student and disciple, Plato, and continued by his
students and followers. It was based in the Academy, a precinct containing a sacred
grove outside the walls of Athens, where Plato delivered his lectures.
3. Skepticism (or Scepticism in the UK spelling) is a Hellenistic school of philosophy. At
its simplest, Skepticism holds that one should refrain from making truth claims and
avoid the postulation of final truths.
4.
Medieval Period – Focused on God or Theology as the basic source of philosophizing

1. Scholasticism is a Medieval school of philosophy (or, perhaps more accurately, a
method of learning) taught by the academics of medieval universities and
cathedrals in the period from the 12th to 16th Century.
2. Thomism is a Medieval school of philosophy that arose specifically as a legacy of
the work and thought of the 13th Century philosopher and theologian St. Thomas
Aquinas.
Modern Period – Focused on the Human Person
1. Existentialism is a movement in philosophy and literature that emphasizes individual
existence, freedom, and choice. It began in the mid-to-late 19th century but reached
its peak in mid-20th Century France.
10
2. Humanism is a Renaissance movement in philosophy towards a more human-

centered (and less religion-centered) approach. It has an ultimate faith in humankind
and believes that human beings possess the power or potentiality of solving their own
problems, through reliance primarily upon reason and scientific method applied with
courage and vision.
3. Kantianism is a philosophical school based on the writings of the key German Idealist
philosopher Immanuel Kant, and the philosophies that have arisen from the
subsequent study of his writings.
4. Marxism is a philosophical, political, and social movement derived from the work of
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (1829 - 1895) in the second half of the 19th Century.
5. Rationalism is a philosophical movement which gathered momentum during the Age
of Reason of the 17th Century.
6. Romanticism is a philosophical movement during the Age of Enlightenment which
society and bettering the human condition.
Opinions on the truth differ according to the focus of every epoch in the history of
philosophizing and these epochs are also known as the philosophical lenses. You can only
understand their claims when you start looking at these philosophical lenses. Just like looking
at the same picture but seeing different realities.
Try to observe the different quotable quotes from the different philosophers existed in the
different epochs:
1. “We are too weak to discover the truth by reason alone” – St. Augustine
2. “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life
you doubt, as far as possible, all things” – René Descartes
3. “It is one thing to show a man that he is in error, and another to put him in possession
of truth” – John Locke
4. “There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance” – Socrates
5. “It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatever for
supposing it true” – Bertrand Russell
6. “One cannot step twice in the same river” – Heraclitus
Activity 2: Distinguishing Opinion From Truth
Distinguish the statement below whether they are opinion or truth. Write O- Opinion
O when it is an Opinion and Write T if it is the Truth
T - Truth

Lesson 3: The Human Person as

Embodied Spirit
A Blessed Day! How are you today? From the previous lesson you are exposed on the
Processes of Philosophizing and you were able to look at some of the philosophical
lenses as starting points of philosophizing. After a por-taste of the process of
Philosophizing we will now proceed deeper looking into the owner of philosophizing or
the “Philosophizing Subject.”
The human person as a philosophizing subject is subjected to various philosophical
arguments staring from the famous Greek Philosophers, medieval, modern, post-modern
in the west and the famous oriental thinkers which are predominantly an offshoot of
oriental religions. The famous questions in this lesson are the following: Who is the human
person? What are his components? Subjectively, we can ask ourselves, who am I?
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:
3.1. Recognize how the human body imposes limits and possibilities for
transcendence.
3.2. Distinguish the limitations and possibilities for transcendence.
Before we proceed you need to do this.

Activity 2: Song Analysis (Who Am I? by Castling Crowns)

Enjoy watching the video clip about the song and take note of the message of the song.
WHO AM I
(BY CASTLING CROWNS
Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I? That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way, of my ever wondering heart,
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are
[Chorus]
I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am, I am Yours.
[Verse 2]
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again
Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain, and calm the storm in me
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are
14
[Chorus]
I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am, I am Yours.

Activity 3: Learning Materials for Reading
Dualism in Metaphysics is the belief that there are two kinds of reality: material (physical) and
immaterial (spiritual). In Philosophy of Mind, Dualism is the position that mind and body are in some
categorical way separate from each other, and that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-
physical in nature.
History of Dualism
Dualism can be traced back to Plato and Aristotle, and to the early Sankhya and Yoga
schools of Hindu philosophy. Plato first formulated his famous Theory of Forms, distinct and
immaterial substances of which the objects and other phenomena that we perceive in the
world are nothing more than mere shadows. He argued that for the intellect to have access to
these universal concepts or ideas, the mind must itself be a non-physical, immaterial entity.
Aristotle argued that if the intellect were a specific material organ (or part of one) then
it would be restricted to receiving only certain kinds of information (in the same way as the eye
is restricted to receiving visual data). Since the intellect can receive and reflecting on all forms
of data, then it must not be a physical organ and so must be immaterial.
Neo-Platonic Christians identified Plato's Forms with souls and believed that the soul
was the substance of each individual human being, while the body was just a shadow or copy
of these eternal phenomena. For St. Thomas Aquinas, the soul was still the substance of the
human being but similar to Aristotle's proposal, it was only through its manifestation inside the
human body that a person could be said to be a person.
Embodiment – for something to be embodied, it must be perceptible by the body, or related

to something that the mind has understood through bodily experience.
The Human Being as Embodied Spirit
Man is not only body, but he is something infinitely higher. Of all the animal creations
of God, man is the only animal who has been created in order that he may know his maker.
Man’s aim in life is not to add from day to day to his material prospects and to his material
possessions but his predominant calling is from day to day to come nearer to his maker
[Mohandas Gandhi, 1948].
15
The Human Being as Embodied Spirit and its implications and Various Contentions:
1. To recognize our own limitations and possibilities it is right to know where we are, what
is our world.
2. According to Plato reality is made up of two worlds namely, the world of Forms and the
world of Sense where human beings participate in both different worlds.
3. The world of Sense, which is proposed and believed by Heraclitus, is the world we
see, experience, the world of objects; a world of change, it is made up of matter and is
bound to decomposition.
4. Heraclitus proves this through the statements “Cold things grow hot, the hot cools, the
wet dries, the parched moistens.” and “We both step and do not step into the same
revers. We are and we are not.”
5. The world of Forms which is proposed by Parmenides who influenced Plato in this type
of world is a world that is eternal, perfect, and unchanging.
6. Parmenides proved the world of Forms by his statement “We can speak and think only
of what exists. And what exists is uncreated and imperishable for it is whole and
unchanging and complete. It was not or nor shall be different since it is now, all at once,
one and continuous.
7. For Plato, reality is eternal and unchanging, it is the real world, the world of forms.
Everything in the world of senses is but an imitation or a mere shadow of the ideal.
8. Human beings participate in both the senses and the ideal world because they have a
material body and immaterial soul, synthesis of change and permanence.
9. Human beings is a body and soul, according to Plato, body is evil for it is inclined
to temporal things; objected to temporal satisfaction and happiness.
10. As stated by Origen, a Christian theologian and philosopher that is also a Platonian
“all rational beings were once pure intellects in the presence of God and would
remain so forever had they not fallen away through Koros (satiety).”
11. Because of koros (sin) or our transgression and disobedience to God we are
punished by being given a body.
12. To be free it is a human task to gradually recollect the ideas the soul used to know
through education in order for it to be released from being imprisoned in our body
and be able to return to its place in the world of forms, for the soul is superior and
exists eternally even after the body evanesces gradually.
13. However, failure to recall everything the soul used to know, the soul has to undergo
another imprisonment and this process will continually occur until the soul is ready
to go back to its place in the world of forms.
14. The freedom of the soul from the body, its imprisonment is transcendence.
15. Transcendence is the existence that is present beyond normal or physical level.
16. Transcendence means that: “I am my body but at the same time I am more than
my body. The things that I do, all those physical activities and attributes which are
made real through my body, reveals the person that I am”.
Transcendence as Depicted in three Spiritual Philosophies

1. Hinduism is the belief in karma and reincarnation.
Brahman is Self-Hood Hinduism lies the idea of human being's quest for absolute truth,
so that one's soul and the Brahman or Atman (Absolute Soul) might become one. For
the Indians, God first created sound and the universe arose from it.
The Aum (Om) is the root of the universe and everything that exists, and it continues to
hold everything together, the most sacred sound in which the universe arose from and
was the first thing God created.
Four primary values of Hindus:
➢ wealth, pleasure, duty, and enlightenment
16
➢ Wealth and Pleasure are worldly values, but when kept in perspective they are good
and desirable.
➢ The spiritual value of duty, or righteousness, refers to patience, sincerity, forgiveness,
love, honesty, and similar virtues.
➢ The spiritual value, though, is enlightenment, by which one is illuminated and
liberated and most importantly, finds release from the wheel of existence.
2. Buddhism is the life experience and teaching of Prince Siddhartha Gautama
(Buddha -he who achieves his aim), a tradition that focuses on personal spiritual
development, solution is lay in his own mind and is famous for its belief in Nirvana; a
place of perfect peace and happiness.
Buddhism, contained in the teachings of its founder, Siddhartha Gautama or Buddha.

The teaching of highborn Prince Gautama of the Sakya clan in the kingdom of Magadha,
lived from 560 to 477 B.C, sprang the religious philosophy we know as Buddhism.
➢ Turning away from the Hindu polytheism and palace pleasures, searching for
answers to the riddle of life's sufferings, disease, old age, and death. Gautama's life was
devoted to sharing his "Dharma" or Law of Salvation, a presentation of the gospel of
inner cultivation or right spiritual attitudes.
3. Christianity is the religion based upon the teachings and miracles of Jesus where
there is only one God. Suffering leads to the Cross, the symbol of reality of God's saving
love for the human being and Evil is being disobedient, contradicting the nature of God
and distancing to God.
➢ For Augustine (354-430 CE), philosophy is amor sapiential, the love of wisdom; its
aim is to produce happiness.
➢ Wisdom is not just an abstract logical construction; but it is substantially existent as
the Divine Logos. Hence, Philosophy is the love of God; It is then religious. Teaching of
Christianity are based of love of God.
➢ For Augustine's Christianity, the revelation of the true God, is the only full and true
philosophy.
➢ All Knowledge leads to God, so that faith supplements and enlightens reason that it
may proceed to ever richer and fuller understanding.
➢ St. Thomas of Aquinas, another medieval philosopher, of all creatures, human beings
have the unique power to change themselves and the things for the better.
➢ His philosophy is best grasped in his treatises Summa Contra Gentiles and Summa
Theologica. Considers human as moral agent, the spiritual and material and that
choosing between 'good' or 'evil' is our responsibility.

Lesson 4: The Human Person and

their Environment
A Blessed Day! How are you today? From the previous lesson you are exposed to
looking and reflecting about yourself. From that standpoint we need to proceed to look
outside and see from that vantage point the outside world that is surrounding us.
Subjectively, looking at ourselves and checking ourselves leads us to the discovery
that we are alright, but what about the place where we are right now? Is it affecting us? If
it is affecting us, how do we cope up? How do we assure that the place that we are living
is safe for us human beings? How does natural and ecological laws bind every human
person? What happens if the human person violates these natural laws?
Ecologically, every habitat in the universe contributes to the ecological balance of
this universe. This is the primordial root of philosophizing and when there is a failure in
the flow of nature it follows that there is a failure of philosophizing. As my dictum goes,
“when philosophy fails, life fails.” As we look around us, we will try to see the previous
failures that human beings have done and more importantly we should think of corrective
measures in order transcend those failures into success.
In this lesson you are expected to:

4.1 Notice things that are not in their proper place and organize them in an aesthetic way.
4.2 Show that care for the environment contributes to health, well-being, and sustainable
development.
1. It is a system of physical, chemical, and biological factors in the total surroundings of an
organism in a dynamic equilibrium.
A. Biodiversity B. Ecology C. Environment D. Pollution
2. It is the existence of the unique and classes species in the universe.
3. It is the attainment balance in the entire ecosystem.
4. It is the accumulation of harmful substances or products into the environment.
5. A theory of moral responsibility that views the environment as a resource for humankind.
A. Anthropocentric B. Biocentric C. Eco-centric D. Deforestation
19
6. It is an approach to environmental responsibility that maintains that environment deserves

direct moral consideration rather than consideration derived merely from human beings.
7. It is a theory of moral responsibility that states that all forms of life have an inherent right
to exist.
8. It is the denudation of our forest where the land is converted to non-forest use.
9. It is the layer in the atmosphere that absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiations reaching the

Activity 2: Song Analysis (“Kapaligiran” by Asin)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6VuuyfJeuQ
Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran
A-SIN
Wala ka bang napapansin sa iyong mga kapaligiran?
Kay dumi na ng hangin, pati na ang mga ilog natin.
Hindi na masama ang pag-unlad
At malayu-layo na rin ang ating narating
Ngunit masdan mo ang tubig sa dagat
Dati'y kulay asul ngayo'y naging itim
Ang mga duming ating ikinalat sa hangin
Sa langit huwag na nating paabutin
Upang kung tayo'y pumanaw man, sariwang hangin
Sa langit natin matitikman
Mayron lang akong hinihiling

Sa aking pagpanaw sana ay tag-ulan
Gitara ko ay aking dadalhin
Upang sa ulap na lang tayo magkantahan
Ang mga batang ngayon lang isinilang
May hangin pa kayang matitikman? May mga puno pa kaya silang aakyatin
Hindi na masama ang pag-unlad
Kung hindi nakakasira ng kalikasan
Bakit di natin pagisipan
Ang nangyayari sa ating kapaligiran …
Darating ang …

Learning Resource 4.1
ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY
The following are basic principles in Environmental Philosophy:
1. This means that as human person, we interact not only with our fellow human beings,
but also with other living and non-living elements in our Environment.
2. Humankind is a part of the world, and we significantly affect our environment in the
same way that changes in our environment affect us.
3. Environment philosophy is the discipline that studies the moral relationship of human
beings with the environment and its non-human contents.
4. Philosophers believe that the human person can change the environment to suit his
purposes.
5. It is in an orderly environment where human persons thrive best. Disorders give rise to
several problems and challenges for humankind.
As a rational being, the person is not only capable of transforming the world, but also of
understanding the laws which govern nature. It can be said that the world is a text which the
person can read and understand to live a better life. He may treat it as:
1. A source of raw materials to be used in any way he pleases
2. As something that envelops and surround him, and thus have a unique relationship with it
This means that persons can help environment become greater than what it originally
is.
ILLUSTRATION OF THE THREE MAJOR VIEWS SYSTEM
1. Anthropocentrism – focuses on the significant role of humankind in the world and

considers nature as how humans can meet their needs and survive. This view believes that
humans are the most important species on the planet, and they are free to transform nature
and use its resources.
2. Biocentrism – believes that humans are not the only significant species on the planet, and
that all other organisms have inherent value and should be protected. This view advocates
ethical treatment of animals.
21
3. Ecocentrism – places great value on ecosystems and biological communities. This view
believes that humankind is a part of a greater biological system or community and that we
have a significant role as stewards or guardians of nature. This view promotes the idea that
order and balance in nature brings about stability and beauty.
The influence of humanity on the environment can be best understood if we consider
the individual person as a dynamic source of change within his environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL AESTHETICS
1. Philosophical view that believes maintaining order in the environment will bring out the
natural beauty of the surroundings and contribute to the well-being of the people and
other organisms living in it.
2. The appreciation of natural beauty brings about the concern for the environment and
helps people relate more effectively with nature.
ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS
1. This is a moral approach that analyzes the relationship between humans and the
environment. It also discusses environmental problems caused by human activities
and social issues that impact the environment.
2. It serves as a basis for reflecting on how our actions show our regard for nature. It also
guides us in upholding the welfare of the environment and everything in it.
3. As persons, it is our responsibility to start with our own actions and how they affect our
immediate surroundings.
ENVIRONMENTALISM
This perspective advocates to address the growing environmental problems. It has
become an important issue in international politics as governments and international
organizations have devoted efforts to discuss environmental issues and formulate plans to
address them (Kyoto Protocol in 1997, where various nations committed t reduce their
greenhouse gas emissions to curb global warming; and the celebration of Earth Day, first
instituted in 1970, a global effort to raise awareness of issues and inspire action among
communities).
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
This concept focuses on reconciling human activities and economic development with
the protection of the environment.
Major ideas:
1. We must make wise decisions regarding the use of natural resources to ensure that there
is still enough left for future use.
2. The misuse of resources often means that other people do not get to benefit from it.
PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY
1. Environmental integrity – refers to maintaining the state of the environment.
This means that human activities should not unduly disrupt the ecosystems and human
communities located in the area
Care should be taken that the surrounding landscape is not drastically impacted by
human activities.
2. Economic efficiency – refers to prudence in decision-making regarding the use of
resources to ensure that there is minimum to zero waste.
3. Equity – demands that we use our natural resources in such a manner that these are
conserved so that the next generation will be able to use them.
As human persons, it is our responsibility to treat with respect not only our fellow
humans, but also everything in our world. Upholding environmentalism and sustainability will
enable us to take the first steps in addressing environmental issues and contribute to solving
the greater environmental challenge of climate change.

organism in a dynamic equilibrium.
2. It is the existence of the unique and classes species in the universe.
3. It is the attainment balance in the entire ecosystem.
4. It is the accumulation of harmful substances or products into the environment.

Lesson 5: Freedom of the Human

Person
A Blessed Day! How are you today? From the previous lesson you are exposed on
the belief systems of human beings regarding the environment. Those belief systems have
influenced some of the existing problems on our environment and running counter to those
negative belief systems can possibly solve the problem.
Exploring deeper, somehow connected to the concerns of the environment which
outside the human person is the something that is inside the human person. Human
motivations are inner mechanisms that propels the person to act. Every time a person acts, it
produces a consequence.
Between motivation, action and consequences are intervening circumstances before
any action or consequence of the action is determined. Crucial in the study of philosophy is to
look and examine deeply the intervening circumstance called freedom.
Are ready to go discover more?
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:

5.1. Realize that some things are given up while others are obtained in making choices.
5.2. Realize that choices have consequences.
5.3 Show situations that demonstrate freedom of choice and the consequences of their
choices.

Lesson 5: Freedom of the Human Person
A. Positive and Negative Freedom

1. Negative Freedom – refers to “the absence of interference or coercion.
a. Interference - means something that is intentionally imposed on
a person or coercion
b. Physical Coercion- means a direct threat to the physical aspect
of the human person. (e.g. kidnapping, imprisonment, etc…)
c. Verbal Coercion- means a threat to the person using the
language.
● “one is free in a negative sense when he/she does not
experience either physical or verbal coercion.
2. Positive Freedom – it is a kind of freedom that requires active effort on

the person who is said to be free.
a. The effort is exhausted in the “control and Mastery of
themselves.”
b. A person who has positive freedom has control or mastery of
himself or herself and so has the strength to do what is good.
Positive Freedom – it is a kind of freedom that requires active
effort on the person who is said to be free.
c. The effort is exhausted in the “control and Mastery of
themselves.”
d. A person who has positive freedom has control or mastery of himself or herself
and so has the strength to do what is good.
B. Existentialism: Freedom Exercised Through Choices
27
⮚ Positive Freedom is the True Freedom which is also one of the

contents in Existentialism.
⮚ Freedom is an existential reality because it is not just a mere concept,
but it is something that is exercised through the choices that we make
and eventually the actions that we do.
⮚ Children vs. Adult
⮚
a. Children are not completely free because they are still dependent to their
adults. Mostly children behave because of fear of punishment. On the
other hand, adults behave in such a way that they can steer their own
direction by means of making their own responsible choices.
b. Freedom is choosing or myself, choosing to direct my life to what I want
to be which leads to the consolidation of my personality. It is expected
that my actions and small decisions that I make every day are aligned to
those goals and aspirations that I have chosen for myself.
c. I am free when I began to be the author of my acts when I start making
choices for myself. I become real self as soon as I exercise my freedom
to direct my life according to the choices I make and become
consolidated.
d. As soon as I take over the steering wheel of my life and direct them
according to the choices I make, my identity, who I am, begins to be
consolidated.
C. Six Kinds of Freedom

1. Internal Freedom- It is the hidden core of our being and unknowable by others. It
distinguishes human beings from the animal kingdom, and from each other, and is the
basis on which we can become moral - or a-moral, or immoral - beings.
Example:
• A person with a fear of failure will feel free by not acting.
• A person with a fear of confrontation will feel free by never confronting people
or situations.
• A person with fear of rejection will feel free by rejecting others first.
2. Self -Freedom - “Giving style” to one’s character - a great and rare art! It is
exercised by those who see all the strengths and weaknesses of their own nature (F.
Nietzsche)
The goal of this kind of freedom is therefore often expressed as the need “to find
myself” (William Gairdner)
Example:
• “I am my own master”
• The self that I want to be here and now and my future
• I am grade 12 and studying well to be a doctor with my classmates, friends, and
family.
28
• My extra-curricular activities and my hobbies
3. External Freedom (freedom from)

• Freedom to do anything not forbidden by the laws.
• The normal and common freedoms expected
in daily life.
“we do not as we want, but as we ought”
(Immanuel Kant)
Example:
• Freedom of expression
• Social Media
• Music Entertainment
• Brotherhood/Sorority
• Academics
• Technology
4.Political Freedom (freedom to…)

Hannah Arendt traces freedom's conceptual origins to ancient Greek politics.
According to her study, the concept of freedom was historically inseparable from
political action.
The most common political freedoms are the right to speak freely, to associate with
so on.
Examples:
• Freedom of assembly
• Freedom house
• Freedom of the press
• Right to arms
• Economic freedom
• Active suffrage
• Passive Suffrage
5. Collective or Higher Freedom

• based on a collective will to achieve the common good.
• based on an ideology of collective unity that prescribes distinct social and moral
values and objectives for all.
Examples:
• the idea that individuals is at one with society, and that we should lose our own
personal identity into that of society.
29
• Any form of national health care is one. Any "right" that the government, defines,
issues, regulates, manages, redistributes, allocates, rations, or even takes
away, in other words must take an active role in creating is a collective freedom.
6. Spiritual Freedom
It refers to a state where a person is socially and spiritually free, allowing him to
prosper both materially and spiritually. For such a person, there remains salvation in
this world and in the Hereafter. On the other hand, if people do not have real freedom
then their inner potential will be wasted. If such people keep their spiritual facet
chained, they will regress and be hindered from progress. We need to be free in every
sense of the word (i.e. freedom from within, freedom from satanic powers and freedom
from man- made forces).
Examples:
• Prayer
• Inner healing
• Peace
• Religion
• Relationship with God
• Worship
Activity #3: Freedom Worksheet
You have given importance on your studies to help your family situation. You
need to study hard to be successful so that in the future you can help uplift your family’s
financial condition. Unlike other students, you need to find a job to support your
studies. Consequently, you to balance your time between your work and your studies.
Being in this situation:
1. What do you think freedom means to you? What freedoms do you have in
your life? What freedoms do you not have?
2. Do you think it would be a good idea for everyone to be free do whatever they
want, no matter what? Why or why not?
3. Write a short reaction on the saying: “Your freedom ends when the right others
begins, so exercise your right in such a way that you don’t destroy the rights of
others, exercise your freedom in such a way that you don’t destroy the freedom
of others.” (F2F Reflection Journal ODL Forum Sharing- Post and React)
