Human Soul The clothing or ray of the human ego; it is the egoic center in manas, under the influence of both buddhi and the kamic nature.

We may speak of a threefold human soul -- buddhi-manas or the spiritual soul, manas or the human soul, and kama-manas or the animal soul, each the expression of its own ego. Each ego is the expression of its monad. The characteristic of the human soul is duality, affording the field for the interaction of spiritual and lower forces.

Definition and meaning of Humanism

Humanism - [Psychology]

Humanistic psychology is an approach which stresses the uniqueness of the individual. Humanists concentrate on the value, dignity, and worth of each person and they study how people realize their unique potential through personal responsibility, freedom of choice, and authentic relationships. Following are two approaches to humanist therapy. Person-centered therapists assume that the client/patient is capable and good but that many people measure themselves against the standards of others. Person-centered therapists help clients "find themselves" which helps the client reach their full potential without depending on outside motivation. Existential therapy helps individuals come to terms with their independence and isolation in the world, and helps them accept responsibility for their lives.

Human Monad In the human constitution, the fourth monadic focus or center on the descending scale of individualizing consciousness. It is the basis or root of the human ego from which emanates the human soul -- a temporary or periodic appearance enduring for one incarnation, having for its range of consciousness the ordinary human consciousness of daily life.

At death the essence of the human soul is united to the human ego, which in its turn at the second death is reunited with the upper duad (atma-buddhi); and the human ego thereupon enters into the state of consciousness called devachan.

Having become at one with its spiritual parent, at least for the duration of devachan, the ego rests and digests its garnered store of wisdom, knowledge, and experience, and upon the completion of this period of devachanic recuperation it issues forth again when the karmic hour strikes, once more to become the human ego at its succeeding birth.

Definition and meaning of Human Rights

Human Rights - [World History]

Human rights include inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as freedom of speech, religion, and the press. In the United States, these and other human rights are protected in the Bill of Rights. All countries do not honor human rights, however. When threatened by public unrest, some governments punish or murder anyone who expresses opposing viewpoints, or threatens the existing system. Dictators usually suppress human rights. Gross abuses occurred in Nazi Germany when Adolf Hitler ordered the mass extermination of millions including the disabled, homosexuals, and Jews. In Cambodia following the Vietnam War, the communist Khmer Rouge murdered millions; similar massacres occurred in other countries affected by military or terrorist rule. In 1975, thirty-five countries met in Helsinki and pledged to honor human rights. This is known as the Helsinki Agreement.

Humanity. Occultly and Kabbalistically, the whole of mankind is symbolised, by Manu in India; by Vajrasattva or Dorjesempa, the head of the Seven Dhyani, in Northern Buddhism; and by Adam Kadmon in the Kabbala.

All these represent the totality of mankind whose beginning is in this androgynic protoplast, and whose end is in the Absolute, beyond all these symbols and myths of human origin.

Humanity is a great Brotherhood by virtue of the sameness of the material from which it is formed physically and morally. Unless, however, it becomes a Brotherhood also intellectually, it is no better than a superior genus of animals.

HUMAN SACRIFICE

Nothing horrifies civilized society more than the notion of human sacrifice. Only the most ignorant and illiterate cults practice the secret ritual killing of men or animals in the name of primitive gods. No initiate of any degree of enlightenment could possible condone such a thing, for it violates the entire concept of sacrifice, which can only be self-administered and voluntary.

Even self-sacrifice must serve a legitimate, clear purpose. It must somehow better the world. In practice, sacrifice is more likely to involve the humble dedication of one's life in some act of noble heroism. The Aztecs and their bloody dawn rites, the children thrown to Moloch and the cannibals of the Philippines are no more. We no longer, like the Druids, burn victims in wicker baskets, nor like the Romans, condemn criminals to the gladiatorial arena. Gone are the medieval witch burnings and dunking stools. We congratulate ourselves that we have sublimated our violence with football, but the 20th Century has known both genocide and political terrorism.

Meanwhile, you and I believe sanctimoniously that our collective bloodlust and sadism have been set aside. We think our shadow is no longer there. But there are still the gas chamber and the electric chair -- there is even, for that matter, the constant toll of automobile and airplane. We need look only to the millions of lives sacrificed daily to slave labor, to unjust penal institutions, to miserable, cruel communities and wretched families from which they can never escape. We need only think of how we persecute whole segments of our society so devilishly that we drive them to suicide or drug addiction. We allow the medical machine to decide who is to live and who is to die. And aren't we still prepared to send adolescent boys to war, if it comes to that? Don't we continue to poison one another with lethal pesticides and radioactivity? Don't we eagerly turn to television's murders for entertainment, night after grisly night?

Definition and meaning of Human Motivation

Human Motivation - [Sociology]

Humans are motivated by both physical needs and personal goals. The physical needs are driven by physiological factors and the personal goals are often influenced by society. Biology motivates animals to search for food or water. Society and biology motivate humans. Thus, people are influenced by both animal and human motivation. Social motives are often learned from interactions with people. Students hoping to attend college are more motivated to get good grades than are students who do not consider a college education as a part of their future. People who work hard are motivated by desires to excel, earn money, or gain praise.

Human Kingdom One of the great kingdoms or divisions of monads on earth. Below it are the animal, plant, mineral, and also three elemental kingdoms; above are kingdoms of dhyanis or highly evolved human beings and gods. One of the critical points in evolution, at which self-consciousness is attained, although by no means fully developed. Here the spiritual and the material meet: the spiritual self finds its house in the organism built up of lower elements, and the two-natured human being of earth is thus formed. See MAN; ROOT-RACES
