D. Transcendance and my body

The relationship between my body and I reveals an encounter

with other subjectivity or I. In this encounter with another
subject outside of myself, my body will existentially relate with
this subject or I. However, in this encounter, I can conceal
myself through the actions and expressions of my body. My
body becomes an intermediary with another subjectivity or with
the other I. In sucb a case my body is not completely
immersed in myself.
Marcel points that my body ceases to be
intermediary with other subjectivity or with other I
when I do not conceal myself through my body.
Everytime my body relates with other embodied
beings, I am directly and Immediately relating with
other subjectivities or with I’s. Thus, in my
relationship with the Transcendance, I can only
relate with this being through my body. I only
encounter the transcendance because my body
encounters it.
