Abstract

This article philosophically describes the Human Organism and the Man Subject. The general objective of this study was to philosophically analyze the Human Organism. The specific objectives were to identify the components of the Human Organism, to conceptualize the Man Subject, to differentiate the Man Subject from other elements of the Human Organism, to distinguish the Contents of the Man Subject from each other, to classify the Man Subject and to explain the faculties of the Man Subject that most affect their Serenity. The main materials used were the own Author of this article, the Bible and the Bhagavad-Gita, a video of Siamese twins, and two sons of the Author of this article. The methods used were Introspection with the practice of Attention, Bibliographical and Documentary research, Observation and simple Experimentation; each method used was accompanied by profound Reflections. The article contributes with a new vision about the components of the Human Organism, the concept of Man as a Subject, the Consciousness and the Mind, and explains the faculties of Man that most affect their Serenity. The Human Organism is formed by five elements, namely, Life, Man Subject, Consciousness, Mind and Body. The Life is the component of the Human Organism with the nature of an uninfluenceable Conscious-Intelligent Matrix that intuitively guides the Subject and administrates the Body. The Man Subject is the component of the Human Organism with the nature of an influenceable Conscious-Intelligent Matrix that manages the Contents and phenomena of the Organism according to guidelines from Life and or sources other than Life carrying out voluntary actions. The Consciousness is the set of Information of intuitive and or acculturative origin impregnated in the own Subject that establishes their pattern of innate tendencies and affective character. The Mind is the set of Information of reflective and or merely acculturative origin recorded and fluent in the Brain of the Subject's Body corresponding to the pattern of neuron connection and the flow of nerve impulses in the Brain that establish the Subject's daily behavior. The Body is the standardized set of materialized genetic information of hereditary origin that enables the visibility of the manifestation of the Life and the Subject. The frequent practice of the Think promotes attachment and causes Anxiety, however, the frequent practice of the Attention promotes detachment and causes Serenity.
