What is Trichotomy? The Animal in Us / Part 9

As promised, I will now examined each segment of the trichotomy with greater details. The first 'In" of the threefold is called Intuition. In my last blog I had listed numerous traits for every segment. Today, however I will focus on the right side of the table - the physical.

Survival / Self Preservation	Survival is limited to oneself or self-interest (kin)
5 Senses	See - hear -smell - taste - feel ( neurological-network) Instinctive
Pleasure / Pain Driven	Top and bottom - no in between. Safe or unsafe. Good or bad. Fight or flight.
Fear	Short-term fear (reacting and not contemplative) Primitive emotion - not a true emotion. All animals have this type of fear. However contemplative fear is another story.
Singularity	All about "ME"
Self-Reliant	Seek no assistance. Managing on their own
Independent	Tends to lead and　rebel
Personalize	Leaves his/her signature of life on everything. Everything must be about him. Ego-centric to perfectionism
Disassociates	Recluse / Hermit - seek no socialization.
Self-Serving	Serves one cause - himself.
Animal	Primitive creature

Without the mental or the spiritual, we are reduced to a primitive creature. We must be properly balance in the trichotomy but as humans we experience pitfalls from time to time. This does not negate responsibility of our actions.

What is Trichotomy? Intuition and the Most Holy Place / Part 7

THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SPIRITUAL

After classifying the human trichotomy in three segments; Instinct, Intelligence, and Intuition, I proceeded in detailing the first two segments (instinct and intelligence) and correlating it respectively to the Outer Court and the Holy Place of the biblical temple.
Today we move onto the last segment called Intuition, associating it with the Most Holy Place of the temple. Intuition, which can also be referred to as the spiritual, is motivated by faith and self-sacrifice. Now if you recall fear (a negative expectation) was the driving force to Instinct. It was motivated to survive through the use of fear to hightened its emotional and physical responces. Instincts cared for itself. However Intuition is focus on others. It is self-sacrificial. It will place the interest of others first. If we witness someone in need of rescue, we intuitively feel for that person. Now you notice that I did not use the word instinct. Instinct is purely limited to self while intuition is based on the mass. There is no instinctive value in placing yourself in danger to save a stranger. That is because it is intuitive to others. We simply know it is the right thing to do. Our intuition is at work. Now we may not necessarily do the right thing because your instinct may override your intuition.
Now Apostle Paul says in Galatian 5:22-23 that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. If you were to do a thorough examination of these qualities you would find that they are anti-instinctive (anti-physical). They are meant to be share directly or indirectly with others. They exist in the plurality not self-serving.
