Poem
The New Man, a Human being in transition. The New Man is not a softie but knows the healing, creative power of vulnerability, how to melt and let his heart be touched. He knows how to be strong, clear, decisive, practice discipline, has the courage to feel his fears and yet follow his heart and also to stand up and speak his truth even if it is inconvenient and his knees, hands and voice are shaking. He is not afraid of his power, demons or emotions and knows how to be the friend and master of them. He practices trusting himself, the Earth, the Divine Mystery, others and is trustworthy. When necessary, is able and willing to defend himself, the people he loves and the Earth and is also able to be still, or flow like a river, with humility and dignity. He practices transparency and knows when and how to be completely honest. He knows that to love and be loved deeply, perfection is not needed and practices not being afraid of his mistakes so that he is able to use them as powerful resources to learn, grow and deepen his life experience and compassion. Is kind, patient and generous with children and is always open for the things that they can teach. Has space, time and a good place for his inner child He is practising and understanding more and more that true love is unconditional and only possible through completely accepting himself and others with deep respect and dignity. He is understanding more and more and that he has no need and it doesn't serve him or anyone else to be right – or wrong and practices listening, empathy, compassion and patience. He is daily practicing and deepening the friendship with himself and knows his loneliness, despair and aloneness and is not afraid of feeling his pain and the pain of other beings. Is learning and practicing not taking things personally and yet also deeply affected by the needless violence against other beings and the Earth. As he becomes less and less afraid of being ashamed of who he is, his compassion for those who are shamed and humiliated, grows. Knows well the nourishment and joy of deep friendship, companionship and relationship, the fear of rejection and the shame and pain of his moments of chronic dependence. He is intrinsically intertwined and has deep respect, love and gratitude for the inner and outer Feminine. He completely loves and honours his body as a temple with reverent gratitude as a daily spiritual practice. Knows the difference between dramatic and drama and is able to watch and practice letting go of being judgmental in thought word and action. Practices including the heart in all his choices and decision-making. Watches and practices being master of his expectations and desires. Is passionate, master of his anger, tender, gentle and kind, innovative, supportive and sensitive. He knows how to center himself and be grounded in the ways of the world, he enjoys his strength and wild nature more and more without needing to be aggressive, dominant or seen. His spiritual practice includes understanding the power of ecstasy and chaos, listening to his heart and the nourishment and depth through silence and being still. As he becomes less and less attached to the past, his ability to be fully in the present – whatever the situation, grows. He understands that following his impulses and acting on his intuition are spiritual practices that require immense courage, perseverance, deep humility and honesty. Is understanding more and more the difference between reacting and responding and practices being responsible for his every thought, word and action. Continually practices forgiveness and compassion for his unconsciousness and when he fails to live according to what is written above. © Sangeet Portals 2010.
