advantages compared to other creatures but we as human beings are not perfect in terms of
capacities or capabilities are human nature has also its limitation and this will be discussed as we
go along the lesson . Before I proceed in discussing the main topic I would like how you a

Slide 4: Transcendence ; is originated from the word trans meaning go beyond. Scandare
meaning climb . Transcendence is the ability to change, be dynamic, and continually redefining
one's self to create change.

Slide 5 The human person as an embodied spirit

In totality, a man is a physical body, a living soul (the inner self; mortal), and a spirit (the
life-force; immortal). The spirit takes form through the mortal, physical body to represent its
qualities in the conscious, physical world. Each body part has its worldly function that is
communicated in an expressive and understandable form.

Slide 6 : For Aristotle, a human person is a personal being that possesses its intellectual nature in
a natural unity with a material body. This unity is called: "man as a rational animal”
While For St. Thomas, the total vision of man would be the "embodied spirit.

Slide 7: Here are some limitations and possibilities for transcendence.

Slide 8 limitation for transcendence

 may not occur to everyone

 does not come at a specified period
 varies across all people
 may coincide with physical limitations of the body

Slide 9 Possibilities for transcendence

 developing a positiveoutlook in life
 working towards reaching a goal
 learning from experience
Slide 10 It is important to know that transcendence
may be applied to present worries by living in the present. This means that life is Lived from
moment to moment in a carefree and cheerful manner where concerns For stress are reserved for
the future, and regrets or guilt feelings are kept in the past.

Slide 11
THE HUMAN BODY IN IMPOSING LIMITS AND
POSSIBILITIES
From a biological and physical
standpoint, it can be recognized that the
human body, although it can perform
many functions, also has limitations.
Limits in the environment, demographics,
and society may also hinder a person from
reaching transcendence.

Slide 12
Here are some examples:

mental and emotional disorders (e.g.

anxiety, intellectual disability)
disabilities (e.g. amputated leg,
deafness)
diseases and illnesses (e.g.
hypertension, cough)
failures and experiences (e.g. failing
a subject)

Slide 13
Social and environmental Limitation
socioeconomic status
location of neighborhood (e.g.
armed, disorganized, or violent
neighborhood)
abusive relationships (e.g.
emotional abuse)
negative influences (e.g. drug use)

Slide 14
Overcoming Limitation
Bodily limits can be tested by
trying on new experiences and
working on challenges with
increasing levels of difficulty. The
human body, if given enough
exposure to any situation, can
attain a goal with efficiency.

Slide 15

OVERGOMING LIMITATIONS
Social and environmental limitations
are more difficult to overcome than
bodily limitations because they involve
the influence of other people and the
external world. However, with a proper
mindset, clearly defined goals, and
motivation to rise above challenges,
one may successfully overcome his or
her limitations.

Slide 16
REGOGNIZE AND EVALUATE OWN
LIMITATIONS AND POSSIBILITIES FOR
TRANSCENDENGE
Even though you are still young, you are
hot prevented from further
understanding yourself. Transcendence
is even more possible when you begin to
understand that you can go beyond your
limitations if you set your mind on your
goals.

Slide 17
Some points to remember when going beyond your limits.

 You are connected to the external or eternal world.

 Challenges are learning opportunities.
 Your goal is more important than your fears.
 Think outside the box.
 Recognize that everyone has fears.

The world continues to change rapidly. Nowadays, the generation gap can easily be seen in
everyday life because of new technological advances being introduced at a fast pace. In
your personal experience, does technological advancement limit or improve the possibility
for transcendence? Why? Why not?
Slide 18

Look around you. Observe the environment and identify possible factors that may limit
transcendence. You may also put yourself in the position of those who experience such
limitations. Identify ways on how you may overcome those challenges,

Slide 19
Is reaching transcendence always a good thing? Why? Why not?

The terms "transcendent" and "transcendental" should not be used interchangeably.

According to Immanuel Kant, "transcendent" is a term used to refer to God, while
"transcendental" refers to all other matter.

While transcendence may not occur for everyone, all people have the capacity to
experience it regardless of any sociodemographic, biological, or personal factors.

Slide 20
Transcendence is a state of being or existence that is above and beyond physical needs and
realities. From a biological and physical standpoint, it can be recognized that the human body,
although it can perform many functions, also has limitations and possibilities.
Slide 21
In aiming for transcendence, it is important to consider the feasibility of your goals, the work you
would need to put in it, the challenges you will face, and other factors that may come in play.
