  • Cards/sick systems

• puts together what has been broken apart; locates it in the bigger scheme of things
• E.g. experiences:
  • boy makes me feel special by paying attention to me
  • figuring out why I dislike a person
  • feeling of peace after resolving a personal crisis
  • warm feeling of belonging when I’m surrounded by family
• In these moments:
  • feel a strong sense of SELF
  • but cannot capture and describe in same degree that I capture my gender and religion
  • Di ko lubusang mahawakan pero ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagka-AKO
  • Tumitingkad ang pagka-AKO sa pakikipagkapwa-tao
  • I-subject emerges ONLY in relation to others
• So what is the total I?
  • Secondary reflection: I am the I that emerges in my many relations with others ==(Communion)==
