the four parts principle

the four parts principle is as follows:
torsos have four sections, or bahagis. the bahagis are separated by creases that form from bending down. in order of top to bottom, the four bahagis are:

1. asa, or the chest. this bahagi represents naivety, hopefulness, raw emotion, and love.

2. kaisipan, or the upper-middle bahagi. this section represents creative intellect--the part of us that learns and discovers.

3. matigas, the lower-middle bahagi. this section represents the mundane consciousness, that is to say, the nonspiritual and uncreative self which we use to go through everyday life.

4. banal na, or the belly. this bahagi, of course, represents the spiritual and holy. it is the sacred resting place of the pusod, or bellybutton.
