Abstract The research shows in the first part that it is possible to maintain a very good state of the human being for a long time, almost continuously. This thing is highlighted using the values of the human being general balance, while the other values are in the optimal range. The measurements were performed by means of a Bio Well device. The tested subject was the first author of this article. Different techniques were used continuously to reach this important goal. Of course, this attitude can only lead to excellence in everyone’s activity domain and also, in general, in everybody’s life. The second part of the research refers to the human being’s possibilities to send energy to the energy cover of the body to improve the human being functioning. This thing is proved by the measurements made with the help of a thermo-vision camera. A short film was made to show the temperature increase at the level of the head skin during five minutes due to the energy arrived at that zone. The third part refers of the possibility of the human beings to repair themselves. The analysis of the thyroid energy level of the measured subject by means of the Bio Well device is presented. Because the thyroid was used a little too much to improve the optimization of the human being functioning, as presented in the first part of this article, the device shows a possible future danger. Immediate measures had to be taken. Due to successive measures, the subject succeeds in bringing his thyroid energy level to a normal one, without the help of medicines. All the three types of the measurements are very original, presented maybe for the first time in the world. The general purpose of the article is to show that we can do more than we believe about our health and our level of performance.

First Time

Avendo a che fare con l’origine di esseri umani, per sua stessa natura la generazione (corporea o extracorporea) riveste un’alta densità antropologica e non può essere banalizzata come mera trasmissione di informazioni genetiche né come una riproduzione, termine più adatto all’ambito della zootecnia che non a quello degli uomini. Il testo prende in esame la questione della generazione partendo dalla relazionalità costitutiva dell’umano, indagando il significato antropologico del nostro originario essere-con che si manifesta in primo luogo nel comune “essere nati da una donna”. Da qui scopriamo che i sé non sono necessariamente tra loro separati e che la dipendenza rientra nella definizione dell’umano. Per questa ragione la generazione non può essere pensata solo come una questione di soli diritti individuali. La maternità, in un primo tempo denigrata dai movimenti femministi, culturalmente è stata poi positivamente recuperata dalle stesse pensatrici dei women’s studies, mentre le tecnoscienze sono state lette come lo strumento per liberare la maternità stessa dai limiti biologici e per realizzarla secondo i progetti individuali. Proprio tali elementi sono qui affrontati a partire dalla relazione originante con una donna, mettendo in luce come l’importanza accordata nella PMA alla biologia a scapito del soma (personale maschile e personale femminile) cambi la percezione dell’umanità dell’evento generativo e tenga a distanza le ineludibili relazioni in esso implicate. ---------- The generation (both in or outside the body), having to do with the origin of human beings, for its same nature has an high anthropological density and it can’t be banalized as mere transmission of genetic information neither as a reproduction, term that is more apt to zootechny rather than to human being. The text takes in examination the matter of the generation starting from the constitutive relationality of the human being, investigating the anthropological meaning of our native ‘being-with’ that firstly is manifested in our “have been born from a woman”. Hence we discover that the selves are not necessarily separated and that the dependence takes part in the definition of human being. For this reason, generation can’t be thought as a question of individual rights only. The maternity, in a first time denigrated by the feminist movements, later has been positively recovered by the same thinkers of the women’s studies; the techno-sciences have been read and interpreted as the tool of liberation of maternity from the biological ties and for its realization accordingly with individual projects. Just such elements are faced here beginning from the originating relationship with a woman. The text also shows how the importance granted in the Medical Assisted Reproduction to the biology to the detriment of soma (that is personal female and personal masculine) changes the perception of the humanity of the generative event and keeps at a distance the ineludible relationships implicated in it.

The Media

This book presents the influence exerted by the media on children and adolescents in relation to the early experimentation with psychoactive substances. And the pedagogical-theological intervention as a preventive strategy. The influence on the human being through media mechanisms that condition him to the action expected by the conditioning, has been studied for a long time, by several authors such as Aldous Huxley with his book "Admirável Mundo Novo" that already addressed the conditionality of the human since the decade of 30. In the following decades, other theorists such as Edgar Morin and Guy Debord, analyzed how the human being is conditioned through mass culture and the society of the spectacle. The reality presented in relation to the conditioning of children and adolescents through the media has propelled the author, to seek preventive ways regarding the conditionality of human beings through the media. For that, it analyzed theorists like Paulo Freire and Michel Henry and their discoveries about the mediation of knowledge and the analysis of the Words of Christ and how they can contribute in the elaboration of pedagogical-theological interventions.

In Island (1962), Aldous Huxley presents a utopian community in which theinhabitants aim to become "fully human beings" by realizing their "potentialities."I demonstrate how Huxley's notion of the "human potentialities" havebeen misrepresented, both by scholars and by the founders of the Esalen Institute.Huxley's focus on human potentialities arose from a shift in his thinkingfrom the other-worldly mysticism of The Perennial Philosophy (1945) to thelife-affirming traditions of Tantra, Zen and Mahayana Buddhism. In Island,the population attempt to realize their human potentialities and engage in anexperiential spirituality that celebrates the body and nature as sacred throughthe use of the moksha-medicine and the practice of maithuna. I argue thatwhereas Tantric adepts practised maithuna as a means to acquire supernormalpowers (siddhis), in Island the Palanese version of maithuna is quite differentand is used to valorize samsara and the acquisition of human potentialities.

Internal Body

Human body as a universal possession of human beings constitutes an interesting domain where questions regarding semantic categorisations might be sought crosslinguistically. In the following, we will attempt to describe the terms used to refer to the body in Hawrami, an Iranian language spoken in Paveh, a small township in the western province of Kermanshah near Iraqi borders. Due to the scarcity of written material, the inventory of 202 terms referring to external and internal body parts were obtained through a field work, which took a long time, and techniques, such as the “colouring task”, observation and recording the terms as used in ordinary conversations and informal interviews with native speakers. The semantic properties of the terms and the way they are related in a partonymy or locative relationship were also investigated. As far as universals of body part terms are concerned, while conforming to ‘depth principle’ concerning the number of levels each partonomy may consist of, Hawrami violates an important feature of this principle by not allowing transitive relations between different levels of partonomic hierarchies. In addition, Hawrami lacks a term for labelling the ‘whole’.

Contradictions of Modernity. Conflicting Configurations and Societal Thinking in Grundtvig's »The Human Being in the World«A Worm - a God. About the Human Being in the World. Ove Korsgaard (ed.). With contributions of Niels Buur Hansen, Hans Hauge, Bosse Bergstedt, Uffe Jonas and Knud Bjarne Gjesing. Odense Universitetsforlag 1997.By Henning EichbergIn 1817, Grundtvig wrote »Om Mennesket i Verden« which can be regarded as a key to the understanding of his philosophy and psychology, but which is difficult to place in relation to his later folkelig, societal engagement. A recent reedition of this text together with some actual comments by Grundtvig researchers is an occasion to quest deeper about this relation.However, it is not enough to ask - as Grundtvig research has done for a long time - what Grundtvig wanted to say, but his text can be regarded as a document of how modem orientation in the world is characterized by conflicting linguistic and metaphorical patterns, which sometimes may tell another story than intended.On the one hand, Grundtvig's text speaks of a lot of dualistic contradictions such as life vs. death, light vs. darkness, truth vs. lie, God vs. devil, human fall vs. resurrection, body vs. spirit, nature vs. history and time vs. eternity. In contrast to the author's intention to produce clarity and lucidity - whether in the spirit of Christianity or of modem rationality - the binary constructions give rather a confusing picture of systematical disorder where polarity and polemics are mixed, antagonism and gradual order, dichotomy and exclusive either-or, paradoxes and dialectical contradictions. On the other hand,Grundtvig tries again and again to build up three-pole imaginations as for instance the threefold human relation to time, space and truth and the three ages of spiritual seeing, feeling and conceptualization resp. of mythology (childhood), theology (youth) and history (adult age). The main history, Grundtvig wants to tell in his text, is built up around the trialectic relation of the human being to the body, to the spirit and to itself, to the living soul.The most difficult to understand in this relation seems to be what Grundtvig calls the spirit, Aanden. Grundtvig describes it as Aandigt Samfund mellem Menneske og Sandhed, »the spiritual community between the human being and the truth«, and this may direct our attention towards samfund, meaning at the same time association, togetherness and society. Aanden is described by threefold effects - will, conscience and faith, all of them describing social relations between human beings resp. their psychological correlate. The same social undertone is true when Grundtvig characterizes three Aande-Livets Spor (»traces of spiritual life«): the word, the history and love. If »the spirit« represents what is larger or »higher« than the single human being and what cannot be touched by his or her hand, then this definition fits exactly to society or the sociality of the human being. Social life - whether understood as culture, social identity or folk (people) - is not only a quantitative sum of human individuals, but represents another quality of natural order. Thus it has its logic that Grundtvig places the human being in between the realms of minerals, plant and animal life on the one hand and the »higher« order on the other, which can be understood as the social existence.In this respect, the societal dimension is not at all absent in his philosophy of 1817. However, it is not enough to state the implicite presence of sociality as such in the earlier Grundtvigian thinking before his folkelig break-through. What was the sociality, more concretely, which Grundtvig experienced during the early modernity? In general, highly dichotomous concepts are dominating the modem discourse as capitalism vs. feudalism, materialism vs. idealism, modernity vs. premodemity, democracy vs. absolutism or revolution vs. restoration; Grundtvig was always difficult to place into these patterns. Again, it might be helpful to try a trialectical approach, transcending the dualism of state and market by civil society as a third field of social action. Indeed, it was civil society with its farmers' anarchist undertones which became the contents of Grundtvig's later folk engagement.

First Time

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected all of humanity. It was the first time that virtually all human beings on earth felt concerned by a particular event: a Chinese allegedly ate pangolin infected with a virus, causing an epidemic that has spread to all mankind. In the case of covid 19, virtually all humans have been informed by television and the internet. This made them stand together beyond any language, race or religion. However, this shared solidarity was based on the fear of illness and death. There was nothing to counterbalance this atavistic fear, other than, for some, a faith in a particular religion. On the contrary, systemic sciences, through Cognitive and Systemic Relativity (CSR), shows that fundamentally, our consciousness is immortal because it is not subject to time; it is inspatiotemporal or eternal. It only depends on each one to awaken his social consciousness (his ego) to its dimension of eternity, which corresponds to his EGO which is the Relativist Observer, pilot of the body. In addition, this individual awakening has the advantage of functioning as a positive pandemic, based on confidence in the source of life which is the Consciousness of Existing, the root of our EGO, and therefore also of our ego. This positive pandemic is based on a particular functioning which is the systemic entanglement of all the systems on earth since the EGO of all living systems on earth are in communion at all times. The conscious restoration of this communion of all EGO through trust in our individual EGO sets in motion the healing software of all systems on earth. This corresponds to the entry of humanity into what we might call universal brotherhood and which Teilhard de Chardin calls the noosphere.

At the same time, human is also a </span><em><span>homo sapiens artisticus</span></em><span>. One’s way of being and one’s mode of thinking is always artistic. One might also say that ritual is always artistic and art is always ritualistic. In this sense ritual and art are inseparable, for ritual and art are </span><em><span>sui generis</span></em><span>. Both exist in the area of human experience and are in touch with cognition, affection, knowledge, action, and enjoyment. Art and ritual are the hermeneutical site of meanings and values that simultaneously become the same place to find the answers. Imagined within the realness of life, art and ritual are a field of meanings. When human beings slip away from their humanity, art and ritual become the medium to restore it. Not only can art and ritual create a balance between the physical and the mental aspects, between the body and the soul that have been dehumanised, they also can exalt human beings towards the divine level as the culmination of the humanisation process.</span>

The Mind

The central fact about the problem of personal identity is that it is a problem posed by an apparent dichotomy: the dichotomy between the objective, third-person viewpoint on the one hand and the subjective perspective provided by the first-person viewpoint on the other. Everyone understands that the mind/body problem is precisely the problem of what to do about another apparent dichotomy, the duality comprising states of consciousness on the one hand and physical states of the body on the other. By contrast, contemporary discussions of the problem of personal identity generally display little or no recognition of the divide which to my mind is at the heart of the problem. As a consequence, there has been a relentlessly third-personal approach to the issue, and the consequent proposal of solutions which stand no chance at all of working. I think the idea that the problem is to be clarified by an appeal to the idea of a human being is the latest manifestation of this mistaken approach. I am thinking in particular of the claim that what ought to govern our thinking on this issue is the fact that human beings constitute a natural kind, and that standard members of this kind can be said to have some sort of essence. Related to this is the idea that ‘person’, while not itself a natural kind term, is not a notion which can be framed in entire independence of this natural kind.

Abstract By checking the reproducibility of conventional mid-infrared Fourier spectroscopy of human breath in a small test study (15 individuals), we found that a set of volatile organic compounds (VOC) of the individual breath samples remains reproducible at least for 18 months. This set forms a unique individual’s “island of stability” (IOS) in a multidimensional VOC concentration space. The IOS stability can simultaneously be affected by various life effects as well as the onset of a disease. Reflecting the body state, they both should have different characteristics. Namely, they could be distinguished by different temporal profiles: In the case of life effects (beverage intake, physical or mental exercises, smoking etc.), there is a non-monotonic shift of the IOS position with the return to the steady state, whereas a progressing disease corresponds to a monotonic IOS shift. As a first step of proving these dependencies, we studied various life effects with the focus on the strength and characteristic time of the IOS shift. In general, our results support homeostasis on a long time scale of months, allostasis on scales of hours to weeks or until smoke quitting for smokers, as well as resilience in the case of recovery from a disease.

The paper is devoted to the research of the anthropomorphic representation of war in the German and Ukrainian mass-media by the means of personification and is based upon the theory of conceptual metaphor and contrastive approach. The regular conceptual metaphoric and metonymic models creating “naive anatomy” of war, its physical and psychological profile in the compared languages have been singled out. The empirical dataset includes word combinations and lexemes, contexts extracted from the articles and reports in the German and Ukrainian mass-media as well as from the Mannheim German Reference Corpus COSMAS II (DeReKo-2018-II) covering a five-year period (2014-2019). One of the most widely used anthropomorphic metaphors embracing the body part appellations is the metaphor ‘face of war’ within the main conceptual metaphor ‘war is a human being’. The metaphtonymy is also highlighted as one of the models of the semantic change paths within the personification patterns of ‘war’, including such regular patterns as ‘male / female face of war’, ‘public face of war’ etc. The causative verbs and verbs denoting physical activity reveal the nature of war as a destructive force suppressing the will of human beings and considering them as objects of its influence. To the anthropomorphic patterns within the main one ‘war is a human being’ also belong: ‘war is a parent’, ‘war is a liar’. The regular semantic metaphoric and metonymic patterns are often developed within a logical antinomy of holy war (justified by the ‘big goals’) and its real inevitably devastating consequences. Special attention is paid to the changes in gender representation of war as well as in its strategies demanding new ways of researching its role in the modern mass media. The hybrid, information wars of the last years have obviously changed the language representation of ‘war’. Unexpectedly war appears to be even attractive and repelling at the same time. The representation of war in the modern mass media often causes a certain degree of its banalisation and aestheticization. The main emphasis of the analyzed contexts lies on the evaluative character of the anthropomorphic metaphor allowing manipulation of readers’ perception.
