The Ever-New Human

 

And so it happens, as we live our lives,

to leave pieces of ourselves, here and there.

That is why we so often reminisce about them,

through memories and in the shadows of dreams

that become narrations.

They seem like islands in the seas of Nostos

and they live there through Eros and toil.

From an unknown and primordial cause,

that carries within it the frenzy of Pana,

we arrive, at times, at the sacred sacrifice.

But when love rises to regenerate Orfeas,

and bears Sofia its shield and Romfaia its sail,

it shall sail forth,

and one by one, all your pieces,

it shall gather!

You are Whole now.

May your entire inheritance rightfully belong to you—

rest! 

From the poetry collection “ERATO”

Dimitra Bitsiani

For many years now, we have been waiting for the arrival of a new world for humanity.

Perhaps this expectation arises from our deeper need to live better, for clearly we are not fully satisfied with the life we have lived so far.

And the truth is that even if, on an individual level, we are satisfied—having achieved our goals and secured a good standard of living—because we are CONNECTED, we cannot truly enjoy what we have gained when around us there are people (and not only people) who suffer and are mistreated for countless reasons.

There are also the burdens our Soul carries from present and past experiences—burdens we have not yet managed to put in order within ourselves.

It may also be the refusal to confront our true condition, the refusal to look at ourselves as honestly as we can, and to decide what we truly want.

How do we define the New Human we wish to become?

We often speak of this human as something outside ourselves. Something theoretical and future-bound. Something vague, as if it does not concern us. As if it depends on others—whoever those others may be.

Have we asked what relationship this New Human has with us? How much of him is truly ours?

We hear all these new “terms” and “definitions,” such as “Meta-human,” and if we trace our steps back through time, we will see that the “human” has always waited for change and redemption to come from others—however those others were defined in each era, according to prevailing beliefs and established systems meant to enclose him within frameworks and structures.

Even his revolutions ended up becoming his new cells.

What have all these offered us?

If we look at our present moment, we can already see the answer. And if we cannot yet see clearly, the future will reveal the truth—unless we have chosen not to look at it.

This New Human is the ever-new one.

The one who looks upon the world with fresh eyes.

The one guided by an inner necessity and truth—not to live in the world for himself, but to LIVE WITH HIMSELF WITHIN THE WORLD.

Every experience and every involvement becomes a joy of discovery, knowledge, understanding, and offering.

Without his supreme dimension—his SPIRITUAL SELF, the HIGHER, the INCORRUPTIBLE, the one who communes with the Divine Realm—the human being is lost and at the mercy of false promises.

Do you imagine the New Human as forever young, beautiful, and perfectly healthy? Forever happy? Always overflowing with joy? Wealthy? Successful?

I believe these have little to do with the New Human, and much more with his immature self.

How long, truly, can such conditions remain unchanged in a person’s life? Even if we were to extend our lifespan to one or two hundred years, the Soul would still cry out for its needs.

For the New Human is the one who lives by recognizing his pieces, who can unite them, accept them, and evolve them.

When you are connected with your Immortal Self, you do not need external solutions, magical remedies, or willing saviors—because you know who you truly are.

EGO EIMI — I AM.
