Many people talk about "building The New World - or - The New Earth" - but what does this really mean in our current global context? This exploration examines competing visions for our collective future and highlights the growing regenerative movement, grounded not only in ecological and social renewal but also in the profound shifts of consciousness and quantum reality.

¨This article offers a thoughtful and timely exploration of the concept of "The New World," contrasting the often dystopian narrative of the so-called "New World Order" with the hopeful, grassroots-driven vision of a truly regenerative world. It aligns well with the principles of regenerative culture, holistic consciousness, and alternative socio-ecological paradigms that emphasize healing, interconnectedness, and empowerment.¨

What do you understand by ¨Building the New World¨? How are you participating in it - or - addressing this situation?
When I say many people are talking about this, I mean political people, corporations, small businesses, scientists, ecological groups, spiritual groups, etc. I personally state and express with these words sometimes as well. However, I noticed, some people are not too convinced it's possible, saying it's a "new age - hippie" thing, as well as other people getting confused by thinking they are part of building something great without knowing the true agenda ¨behind the scenes¨. So what world are we building?
Let's start with a brief analysis of what "The New World" actually is, where does it come from? if it is beneficial or not? who actually benefits? do we just play along with it? - or - do we all get to participate?
When we hear "The New World," it often evokes two very different images:
The New World Order (NWO): A centralized, technocratic system controlled by elite powers using technology for surveillance, social credit, and digital currencies to consolidate control. This vision is often cloaked in narratives of progress but ultimately serves a plutocratic agenda, as Michael Parenti’s Democracy for the Few ( I highly recommend this book) reveals through incisive political economy analysis. Also check out How to Opt-Out of the Technocratic State - by Derrick Broze.
The Regenerative World: A decentralized, life-affirming paradigm rooted in respect for all beings, indigenous wisdom, and the understanding that humanity is an integral part of a living Earth. This vision is emerging from the grassroots - from ecovillages, permaculture farms, spiritual communities, and freedom movements - all co-creating new ways of living that honor the sacredness of life.

Furthermore, meanwhile in the "real world", the same problems continue to rise. Have you been watching the "news" or social media lately? Me neither of course, it's not healthy to feed from low vibration news.
I am not saying ignore what's happening, but to embrace what-is in a different way. Because deep inside, we all already know what is happening.
You know what I am talking about. All of the politics between governments and corporations playing the same game, keeping humanity entertained with "both sides of the same coin" - or - "both wings of the same bird". Why does most of humanity keep falling for it?
Of course there is a lot more happening out there than politics. It's the same old-same old in my neighborhood. All problems being related to economy crashes, taxes rising, health decreasing, social crisis, war open for business, technocracy wanting more power, many animals and people killed daily for no reason other than greed, mother nature contaminated and exploited to please humanity, and we can go on and on, and on. All this since the beginning of human civilization. Can we actually create something new?
Great news comes with all this chaos. Opportunities. As many known masters have said, when there is chaos there is opportunity, where governments and corporations know this as well, taking advantage of situations to create the problems to then create solutions, while benefiting themselves "the few" with more money and power over the world. However, we can use these opportunities too.
Let’s get weird for a second. Quantum physics says reality isn’t fixed-it’s a probability field shaped by observation. You’re not just building a new world; you’re collapsing wave functions with every decision and action you make. When you:
Boycott factory-farmed food → You collapse the agro-industrial complex’s probability.
Meditate instead of doom-scrolling → You collapse collective anxiety into coherence.
Plant a guild of fruit trees → You collapse desertification into a food web.
Indigenous cultures knew this-not through equations, but through ceremony. The Aboriginal cool burns that prevent wildfires. The Mayan ¨milpa system¨ where corn, beans, and squash talk to each other through mycelium. This is quantum biology in action-and it’s how we’ll regenerate the world.
Most of us humans want new systems, new patterns of life and expand to new perceptions of our existence. Coming to the awareness that we can do way more than simple repetitive tasks. I don't mean to disrespect people's careers, 10 to 20 years plus life-jobs. However, we surely are designed to consistently challenge ourselves to new things, new phases of life that actually helps us evolve. Yes, repetition creates a master, but we can also master multiple skills in many fields. So don´t get too comfortable in one area. You may not be activating your full potential. Plus, ask yourself, how are your currently contributing to the regeneration of all life and building the new world? If your daily decisions and actions are not participating with this, then, you may want to reconsider your vision and purpose.
We have all, one way or another, been through the oppressing slavery system, with exploitative jobs, excessive hours, money problems, disconnection from self, lack of specific type of self-development education, affecting our personal health and much more. Most people are still in that lifestyle, and don't even know it, or even worse, they do know about it and don´t want to change at all. And that is not good.
Therefore, the need and the want of "building a New World". Some noticeable evident actions that are helping build the world are: The great awakening to modern economic servitude, the awakening to the power of self and true spirituality, the awakening to full inner creative potential, the awakening of already having the collective power to create our own harmonic reality.
All this awareness and power is backed by cultural daily actions, thus, new lifestyles that not only benefit thyself and our closer community, but also benefits all life. Again, don't get confused with the New World Order. This is an agenda planned by The World Economic Forum, The World Health Organization, Black Rock, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Technocrats like Google, Apple, Microsoft and many others. The "New World Order" aka "The Great Reset" does not truly serve the interest of the people nor it benefits all life. It mainly wants power and control by using technocracy, social credit scores, 15min smart cities, CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), extreme surveillance systems, and much more.
We The People, those who are - or - want to be free, sovereign, healthy, conscious, abundant, thriving during our lifetime and for future generations, do NOT want this New World Order led by these organizations to happen. We did not consent nor voted to participate in this forced system. Instead, we are creating and already practicing new parallel systems. Systems that are based in Regenerative Culture ethics and principles. Principles that honor and respect all life, where we all have a voice and the power to thrive collectively.
These regenerative systems are already happening all over the world. Hundreds of thousands of people, individual people, groups, organizations, projects, intentional communities, ecovillages, small local governments are on the rise taking local-global action for building a new world. For example:
Transition Towns like Totnes in the UK, where local food systems, energy production, and economies are being redesigned for resilience
Regenerative Urban Neighborhoods like Huerto Roma Verde, a 100% self-sufficient permaculture system in the middle of big Mexico City. Showcasing a fully immersive regenerative lifestyle.
The City of Dawn in India - Auroville, a fully operational city project of 5km in diameter demonstrating how a large regenerative system can operate. Founded in 1968.
Regenerative farms like Rio Muchacho Permaculture Farm in Ecuador, Wild Earth Farm and Sanctuary in Irvine Kentucky, and Finca Luna Nueva in Costa Rica that restore ecosystems while producing abundant food, just to name a few of thousands.
Community currencies such as Muyu Social Coin in Ecuador, BerkShares in Massachusetts and the Time Banking
Just like so, there are tens of thousands of regenerative projects worldwide. Thus, a new Regenerative World is rising, with a new humanity, connected to the collective consciousness, to spirit, to self, to the land, to the trees, to the animals, to all life...
While "building The New World" can mean different visions for different people, the important aspect of these diversity of perspectives is to learn how to combine them all in a way that benefits all life. By using a governance system that is not hierarchical. Where every country, or better yet, borderless bio-regions, can organize themselves to self-govern while thriving collectively. Being self-sufficient as much as possible, resilient with all neighbors and organized within local goods and services. This is happening. There are already many ways, systems, examples, books, technology, experience and wisdom in order to continue building these new systems. Thus, the main purpose of the Regenerative Culture Movement, Permaculture and Ecological Movements, Freedom Movements, Spiritual Movements, Health & Wellness Movement, Love Movements, Indigenous Movements, Vegan Movements, Animal Liberation Movements, Sacred Sexuality Movements and many more.
So just to be more clear on which of "building The New World" we actually are talking about, let's extend our awareness to what is already happening in the Regenerative Movement, the term is being expressed as "Let's build and grow a Regenerative World".
Forget "10 Steps to Save the World." Regeneration is a love language and a lifestyle. It’s:
Letting dandelions grow because bees are more important than lawn aesthetics.
Hosting a skill-share where you teach fermenting kimchi and learn to mend jeans.
Breathing through the rage when you see another COP30 failure-then composting that anger into mycelial networks.
The new world isn’t built-it’s grown. And you’re already doing it, one decision and action at a time.
As you've seen the problems in our current systems – from environmental degradation to economic inequality – your personal choices can help create the solutions. Consider these actions:
Learning regenerative practices, starting with nutrition, spirituality and permaculture.
Starting with small changes in your own home and community
Connecting with others already practicing these principles
Sharing your unique skills and perspective about what do you want to see in the world
Simplifying your life and increasing your self-reliance
Mainly, change outside starts within thyself. Our inner dialogue, our thought patterns, our intentions, our love to ourselves, thus our love to all life. Every conscious decision and action of every day life brings us closer to the world we want to create together. Again, it is happening already. The invitation is open for you to join the movement.
