Based on the Leonardo da Vinci Vitruvian man, explains the true dimensions of the Human Being.

1. Vitruvian Man
The true dimensions of
the Human Being

2. Leonardo da Vinci, 1452
The evident and explicit is not
usually the whole truth
The Vitruvian Man is one of the more well known
sketches in the world. Leonardo Da Vinci
designed it to express the idea of the dimensions
of the Human. In principle the Human body.
As a realist and a perfectionist he measured the
Human body from every angle, so he could
understand better its dimensions and be able to
draw and sculpt it perfectly. And he did.
Man's height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms).
The length of a man's outspread arms is equal to
his height. The distance from the hairline to the
bottom of the chin is one-tenth of a man's height.
The distance from the top of the head to the
bottom of the chin is one-eighth of a man's
height. The distance from the bottom of the neck
to the hairline is one-sixth of a man's height, etc.

3. Leonardo da Vinci, 1452
The things more tangible and physical
in appearance are often the ones with
more metaphysical significance
The real dimensions of the Human Being are
not the physical dimensions. The human being is
one and three at the same time: body, mind and
soul.
There is a perfect body, like Da Vinci explained
in the sketch, but the perfect Human Being is the
one that is perfectly balanced in its three
dimensions.

4. Leonardo da Vinci, 1452
The things more tangible and physical
in appearance are often the ones with
more metaphysical significance
At the physical level, the body as well as the
human being, is a complex system. It can be
divided into 10 perfectly connected and
functional systems: Circulatory, digestive,
muscular and nervous among them.

5. Leonardo da Vinci, 1452
You probably have heard that
humans and chimpancé share 98% of
their DNA
The main differentiator between the human and
animal world is precisely the intangible, not the
body.
First: the intellect that resides in the mind. We
are talking about intelligence, creativity.
Second: our capability to feel, that resides in the
soul. Not feeling in term of the senses, but in
term of the heart. Love, pain, frustration.
Feeling with the senses is only a electrical
connection. Feeling with the soul is a
combination of biochemical and electrical
connections.

6. Leonardo da Vinci, 1452
The magic of the human being is that
it can be individualized but not isolated
The human being exists by itself but also in
terms of his relationship with the others and
nature.
And in this field is where our humanity, our mind
and our soul really work.

There is nothing outside

But also through the mind we learn that there is
me, there is the others and there is nature.
So our universe expands
infinitely.

9. Leonardo da Vinci, 1452
The Soul
The human being exists by itself but also in
terms of its relationship with the other and
nature.
And in this field is where our humanity, our mind
and our soul really work.

The body and its relationship with the
soul
The soul is more a transmitter than a receiver. It

connects
the
Soul with
the body
When you love something it is because you
connect with it, the two things have found the
same frequency and receive and transmit freely.
Have you heard of a ¨hunch¨? Have you heard of
¨butterflies in my stomach¨? All are really a
manifestation of the soul with others and nature.
So our universe expands
infinitely. And we get to
recognize that it consists of
me, the others and nature.

11. Leonardo da Vinci, 1452
The perfect human is the most
balanced one.
Balanced means in Harmony.
The body is in harmony when it is healthy.
The mind is in harmony when its purpose of
existence, the creative thinking, is active.
The soul is in harmony when we recognize
ourselves as part of a bigger whole: me, the
others and nature. So, if you hurt / love yourself,
others or the nature, you are hurting / loving
yourself, and that means absence / abundance
of harmony.
When you love and serve yourself, the others
and nature, then regrets, impatience, violence
and all feelings of disharmony disappear.
