HOMO NOVUS VITALIS: A Virtual Blue Print of the Real World

The world has become a network of arteries, zones, cells, a division unit of a disintegrated Whole. To be able to penetrate into this Integral Whole we have to break the codes of totality by creating methods, approaches and outlining them into a system of optimal utilisation of the human potential. The "Einstein Factor" revealed in the Rapid Creative Unfolding Methods under the Overground Movement is about to yield its results through opening the first page of the Bible of Synthesis. Homo Novus rises like a Phoenix back from the ashes and proves the ability of resurrection and revival to be intrinsic in the human nature. Under the motto of the "Overground Movement" the Global Arts Synthesis Lab “Anima Mundi” researches into the value shifts for creating the ideal man throughout the ages. From  Protagor’s ideal “man is the measure for all things” born in antiquity” we peer through the inferiority of man opposed to the divine superiority harnessed in the middle ages which gradually lead to the revival of the antique worship in man and marked the period of the Renaissance. In the succeeding Baroque stage the Greek and Roman "Simplicity" assumes complex structures revealed  through the  intricate patterns in music, poetry, architecture, bearing aesthetic norms to be later employed into the aesthetic codes of the Classicism. This revitalisation of the homocentric values of Greek-Roman symbology  laid the foundations for the emergence of the real Homosapiens in the Enlightenment Epoch. From the embryo of a reasoning being  crops up the image of  the Rational Man. This Mental Revolution automatically caused a sensual revolt and challenged the romantic reformism trends to blend into the neorealistic mystery of the ordinary, preparing underground the imaginary trips into the unknown  at the dawn of symbolism.   Expressionism unravels the painful concerns of the complex human serving figuratively as an index  number to the surrealistic canvases extending beyond reality. It is followed by the paradoxical vaults of dadaism, the vague obscurity of impressionism, the inductive segmentation of constructivism, the man-machine hybrid of futurism, the silent cry of fauvism, the quiet alienation of existentialism, a whole series of "isms" to be continued and revised every decade, delineating the parable of the sicknesses of the Modern Society. "Ism" comes from the wish of Homosapiens to  folder and frame concepts, to shelf ideas and beliefs in a row of drawers. And here comes the threat,  the shower of new "isms", like  exhibitionism, pragmatism, digitalism, virtualism. The doors to the invisible dimensions residing in our vicinity are being opened by the  extension of the transparent bridge merging real and virtual. The civilisation batteries are being recharged by a Novantrop, a hybrid of the ancient man and the future cyberman, introducing a new fledgling human unit - Homonovus, in whom all the quests of the previous civilisations will be included, who will combine all the features obtained in the long-run of the Human History. The new Novantrop will be bestowed with the psycho-physical balance of the ancient Romans and Greeks, with the divine scopes of the middle-age seeker, with the rediscovering quests of the Renaissance pioneer, the complexity of the Baroque entertainer, the apolonian simplicity of the Classical philosopher, with the Dyonisian revolt of the Romantic hero, with the Rational Acceleration of the enlightened disciple, with the ordinary urgency of neorealist, with the vivid imagination  of the symbolist, with the stripping-self desire of the expressionist, with the paradoxical equvocal reasoning of the surrealist, with the shimmering search-truth machine of the impressionist, with the fiery isolation of the  existentialist . “Isms” are indicators of polar valences, holons are units of integral entities. Novantrop pendels between the two poles to attain equilibrium. Novantropia sounds like a New Utopija  for Man, however it represents a movement created to synthesise, to merge and not to reject and separate. It is an outcome of the holistic tendencies for global unification sprouting from the soil of Earth. The initiation of this process of ascension is to be obtained through returning to a new embryonic stage of being and consciousness. It is an active contemplation upon the intellectual intuition of Henry Bergson, a new perceptual reasoning which is about to evolve in a new type of human altruism, nurturing our off-spring with the ideas of fraternalism and idealism in stead of separatism and scepticism. This replacement of "isms" will be processed in the “Cosmic Retina” - a self-monitoring device against rottenness, invented by the 21 century Hamlet ." So said Zarathustra!" The new man will be no outside  prophet, no messenger of God, no Metatron, he will be an inseparable part of  man, his self-counsellor, his astral double who will guide him on the path towards enlightenment. The new Messiah or the new Antichrist account for one third of the dormant potential of every I am. The future in store promises apocalypses on the one hand and a new advent on the other, are they complacent? Don’t they reject one another? Use analogy and unite all the tributaries flowing out from the mainstream. On the threshold of the new coming we are to be aware of the primordial states of the collective unconsciousness which mould the modern reasoning. How come such a highly technologically and scientifically advanced civilisation propagates such primitive consciousness  of possession  and owning among its inhabitants. We don’t own anything, we are just temporary visitors with a one way ticket to the Earth and a runaway train to Sirius. Bid farewell to the actual and transcend into the realms of the virtual . The Metatron needs to retrieve his lost identity. For now we are gene cells, Xmen, digit numbers entangled in the cob-web of a giant spider.

We are ignorants who get  entangled in intellectual subtleties and are filled with undigested information, but the wise are full of not learning. A mind devoid of thought - quietly resting is necessary for the quiet states of consciousness. We should stop the inflow of ideas to recognise facts as facts, and to cease using concepts like good or bad, right or wrong. 20 centuries of Western culture resulted in a civilisation of which egoism and money are the masters, If modern man has supersonic aeroplanes, t.v. sets, radar, electronic brains, etc. he also has the weapons for his own destruction. Perhaps in this lies one of the fundamental causes of the present drama, for there is a considerable disparity between technical and moral development. Modern man is only a Refined Barbarian. Reality is before us but we are apt to translate it into a world of names and forms. Being right before us it can only be perceived by direct intuition, not by reflection and reasoning which will only blindfold our eyes. The same goes to religions, homo novus will revise the whole attitude towards faith. Truth will no longer be a commodity to purchase on the bazaar. The direct method of encountering truth is the method of seeking the source of the I am. Homo Novus will realise that it is  absolutely necessary to know the self, before we can venture to know the truth.  Truth is omnipresent . Is man omniscient?  Be spontaneous. To be spontaneous, one must be in touch with the fount of creativity, whose essential quality is to be itself. This is the compass through the hands of which New Man will unveil the ancient new world. The onset of the second coming is at hand. Christ will return to the Earth in an astral attire and guide through the heart and mind of the people. This will prepare for the next centuries the central symbol for the unfolding of the Aquarius Age and Culture. Truth is omnipresent. Is homosapiens omniscient? Let’s combine efforts and tune to the next octave of  human existence.
