You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
– Buckminster Fuller
Our vision is to create a humane and conscious eco-system that enables people to live, work, create and contribute to the world guided by wisdom.
The most direct way to achieve this is through spiritual awakening and raising consciousness. Only then we can see the truth and become conscious human beings. We can create conscious families, businesses, communities and eco-systems, in which happiness, unity and peace are the natural way of life. High consciousness is an operating system. Any application created upon it, such as marriages, projects, start-ups, culture, financial, education, and healthcare systems will reflect wisdom, kindness, and creativity. The rise of consciousness, like the internet, has the potential to bring about endless possibilities and opportunities, reshaping how we live, work, and make a difference in the world.
To realize this vision, we have a 3-tiered process with corresponding goals:
-
Personal Growth – start with self-awareness to raise consciousness, discover personal callings and cultivate self-leadership capabilities
-
Enterprise Creation – cultivate professional expertise and co-create conscious families, projects, initiatives, businesses and opportunities that benefit members and society at large
-
Social Integration – create technology based next-generation eco-system that fully integrates personal development, enterprise creation, income generation, community support and social impact with holistic infrastructure.
Personal Growth
The conscious level of any creation stems from the conscious level of its creator. Every thought, word, or action reflects the owner’s conscious level. Lower consciousness creates most human struggle or conflict on this planet, and higher consciousness produces every sustainable solution. When we operate from low consciousness, we feel powerless or act aggressively. We complain, criticize, blame others, and cross boundaries. We self-serve, control, and create separations. When we operate from high consciousness, we understand, respect, and accept everyone’s uniqueness. We support each other and we lead by example that demonstrates a life of wisdom, compassion, and self-mastery.
Many people, who are eager to change the world, often ask: what can I do? The answer is not in “what can I do?” but “who can I be?” Because “wanting to make a positive change” does not always equal to “capable of making a positive change.” For instance, we must have the qualities of a leader, not only a job title, before we can lead. Often, what gets in the way is ourselves – lack clarity or operate with limiting beliefs, unproductive behavioral patterns and emotional blocks. Only after we have gained self-awareness and self-mastery we can lead ourselves and others, and turning visions into realities. The process starts with self-development – the prerequisite of creative actions.
Enterprise Creations
The future of work is no longer 9-5 jobs in big corporations. Projects will replace jobs. Communities will replace companies. Each of us can work on multiple projects, collaborating with multiple teams, using multiple talents, generating multiple incomes. We no longer passively wait for orders from the top or expect external approval to verify self-worth. Work and life balance is a concept of the past. Work and life integration will be the reality of the future. Similarly, there will be no conflicts between employers and employees, between families and jobs or between passion and survival because we will no longer work in a system designed with embedded conflicts.
Our goal at Teal Village is to enable conscious entrepreneurs, leaders, and creators to step up and to create next generation enterprises, integrating economic development with social development. Such enterprises offer opportunities for income generation and social contribution while create sustainable relationships between individuals, leaders, businesses and society. Ironically, enterprises of the future require much less effort than the competition driven and profit focused enterprises that we currently create.
Social Integration
The next-generation eco-system consists of communities whose ultimate focus is people. In a healthy and conscious society, unlike the current social norm, we prioritize the interests and wellbeing of the common people in everything we do or create; in contrast, the current social norm prioritizes maximizing shareholder value, advancing technology for its own sake, and treating the market as a battlefield. The future eco-system is not a boxing arena, but a safe space where people relate to each other like family members. Only when we feel safe, peaceful and joyful, we become creative, able to make economic and social contributions at levels previous unimaginable.
The future eco-system has two distinctive characteristics – human relationships are based on mutual respect and service; opportunities are readily accessible by qualified individuals. This includes new ways of matching projects with talents, meritocracy based profit-sharing, crowdfunding for investment opportunities and new health, financial and community support systems, just to name a few.
In conclusion, struggles we face in life are mirrors reflecting our inner struggles, individually or collectively. Instead of solving those problems at symptom levels, the fastest and the easiest solution is to address the root cause. Doing so requires us to raise consciousness, which is an ongoing journey. The best time to start was 10 years ago. The second best time is today. At Teal Village, we believe we know the process required to realize this vision. We invite you to join us, so we can support each other along the way!
