The document discusses the human search for identity and what it means to be truly human. It argues that a human being is a composite of body and soul. The soul gives humans their identity and distinguishes them from other creatures, while the body is just an instrument of the soul. To be fully human, one must use all of their human faculties and talents to their fullest extent, experiencing both joy and pain. A truly human person is always growing and evolving throughout their life.

while focusing on positive side of the huma beings, i felt that tere is a certain need to rediscover the intrinsic human strengths to face the new realities. indian culture has provided the timeless values and they have proven to be emmensely successful. we must learn and practice them.
When we think about the theory of evolution, one thought creeps into every thoughtful mind that if we have evolved through apes (like beings), this evolution will not stop here. Homo sapiens is the most modern, most developed, strongest, wisest version. Evolution is a continuous process, and, in the future, as per the survival of the fittest and, ironically, even the most powerful, we will evolve into some other, even better species! Well, without a doubt, it sounds immensely positive and hopeful.
Till now, we look at the sequence of evolution as (beings similar to) apes which have evolved into Homo Sapiens and will continue to do so until perfection. Hypothetically we can look at this sequence through exactly the opposite perspective, which leads us from being the most developed Humans to present-day Homo Sapiens through devolution. If this devolution continues, Homo-Sapiens will devolve into (beings similar to) apes. In either case, evolution and devolution are not stagnant or permanent processes. Even if either pinnacle is achieved, it won’t stop, for change is constant in the universe. This thought/idea leads to a cyclic pattern of occurrences, which provides a base for further research.
Modern science has only analysed the previous scenario, whereas it should have been looked at both ways; for the present-day scenario of exploitation of domesticated animals, unethical use of armaments and finances, man’s hunger to attain power and quest to intrude into the workings of nature through experimentations of Artificial Intelligence etc. portray a different, fearful scene in front of our eyes. Also, suppose survival of the fittest is valid due to the increasing human race population and enhanced disparity. In that case, that day does not seem far when the more powerful humans start to massacre the less powerful ones to maintain their beloved planet's population.
In this paper, an attempt has been made to reflect this theory by adding consciousness and then by analysing the same through the glass of time cycle in Jain philosophy. This indicates that what we understand as evolution is actually devolution.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

In Search of Our True Selves
1. Añora, Maria Wilvenna A. PHILO 25 Tue 10:30 – 12:00
October 9, 2008 Orlando Ali M. Mandane Jr., PhD
IN SEARCH OF OUR TRUE SELVES
I have been in this world long enough to realize that amidst the notable progress we humans have build
over the years, we remain a being in search of our true identity. We question much about our existence. We look
for answers and seek truth behind them. However, this seek and search trek seems to be an endless odyssey that
the pursuit of understanding the human being is left open-ended. With this, I'd like to share my views of the
human person.
Essentially, the human person is a composite being of soul and body (St. Thomas). The body is just the
organ of the soul which took the form of the human being limited only to that which can be seen. However, the
human soul is the unseen aspect of the human person that differentiates us from other beings and creatures. It
gives us our identity, making us unique individuals each with its own defining characteristics and attitudes. It is
fitted to rule the body making it superior to the body. Unlike the body which may change, grow and eventually
die; the soul is incorruptible and immortal.
Also, the body and soul can be likened to an instrument and an instrument player. Without the
instrument player(soul), the instrument(body) would not serve its purpose and hence it becomes useless. In this
sense, the body alone does not comprise a human being. For without the soul, the body is inanimate and lifeless.
Conversely, the soul cannot be without a body. Although the soul can exist without the body, its existence does
not took the form of the human person. It is in every way just a soul capable of moving on its own but incapable
of having the appearance of a human being. Hence, to be a human person, we must have a natural body which is
potentially human and we must posses such soul(Aristotle).
(continuation at the back)
2. Having recognized what we are made of, the question of what it is to be truly human is inevitable. With
this,their is essentially an instinctive fear in most of us to travel with our engines in full throttle. We prefer for
the sake of safety to take life in small and delicate doses. But this should not be the case. Human beings become
truly human, only when they are able to use all their human faculties and talents to their fullest. Such people are
vibrantly alive in mind, will and heart. They are open to the full experience and expression of human emotions.
They see a beautiful world and hear its music and poetry. They taste the deliciousness of every moment. They
are able to experience the full galaxy of human feelings- awe, wonder, tenderness, compassion, both agony and
ecstasy. They are capable of asking the right questions of life and flexible enough to let life question them. They
are glad to be alive and to be who they are. For such people, life has the color of joy and the sound of
celebration. Their lives are not a perennial funeral procession. Each tomorrow is a new opportunity which is
eagerly anticipated. There is a reason to live and a reason to die. And when such people come to die, their hearts
are filled with gratitude for all that has been. For a beautiful and full experience. To them, the world will always
be a better place, a happier place, and a more human place because they lived, laughed and loved here.
Human beings precisely because they are truly human obviously experience failure as well as success.
They are open to both pain and pleasure. They have many questions and some answers. They cry and they
laugh. They dream and they hope. The say a strong “yes” to life. They feel the strong stings of growing- of
going from old into the new- but their sleeves are always rolled up, their minds are whirring, and their hearts are
ablaze. They are always moving, growing, beings-in-process, creatures of continual evolution.
