Introduction■ The scripture teaches us that with the Spirit we

can contact God, with the Soul we can recognise our emotions, our soul, and our intellect, and with our body we can feel our physical pain.

■ So who am I?● I am a Spirit Being,● I have a Soul,● I have a Body.

■ The whole human being is affected by sin; therefore we need restoration in all aspects of our Human Being (Spirit, Soul & Body).

Isaiah 53:5But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.

Who Are We - Our BeingThe Four Intelligences

In his book ‘The 8th Habit’, Stephen Covey similarly proposes that we are born with four intelligences :

• physical Intelligence• emotional Intelligence• intellectual Intelligence• spiritual Intelligence

Stephen suggests that each of these can be considered as a unique ‘birth gift’.We receive a quotient of each and it is up to us what we make of the gift (using the will).

In 1 Thess 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

St Paul describes three components that make up the whole person:• body (physical)• soul (intelligence, emotions, will)• spirit (spiritual)

Statistics■ Bullying in the Workplace

● 1 in 4 Australian employees have been bullied at work, 30-50% of stress claims at work are related to bullying, intimidation and related abuse, and bullying is 4 times more prevalent than sexual harassment [Workplace Bullying by Sally Jetson 2005]

■ Stress in the Workplace● 1 in 3 adults suffer from moderate to extreme stress, which represents

an increase of nearly 40% in just 4 years [ABS National Health Survey 2001/Grant Thornton IBOS Survey 2004]

■ Depression● Depressive disorders are now the most disabling illnesses in Australia

and make major contributions to premature death by suicide, injury and cardiovascular disease or other health problems. … About half of those affected do not seek medical care [A National Depression Index for Australia by Andrew Mackinnon, Anthony F Jorm & Ian B Hickie]

■ Sexual Harassment● The report 'Taking It Seriously: Contemporary Experiences of Sexual

Harassment in the Workplace' by Patricia Hayes for WASH presents findings from a survey in 2003 of over 200 people that experienced workplace sexual harassment. A key finding in the report was that 50% of respondents suffered emotionally as a result of sexual harassment.
