No time? The best part is at the end, see ‘This is the paradigm shift. Right here.’
It is painfully striking, like being blinded by light, that the very foundational tenet of neos·life — that consciousness is the root problem and answer to everything — is the very cause of its delayed manifestation.
The question most asked recently is, 'Why are we still in the process of securing funding’ given the simplicity and security of the real estate offer, and the magnitude of impact that the project tangibly intends?
There are many answers and projections that could be given here — perhaps we haven’t conveyed the concept clearly enough, perhaps we didn’t provide a clear enough deal structure for what to us is the greatest opportunity on earth to create the very thing that so many of us are longing for: majestic land (video), very attractively priced (€1/sqm), with an operational hotel and infinite potential for creating a new paradigm (video).
Or maybe it’s mine or Vincent’s Karmic or Dharmic paths wishing to experience a certain initiatory power in this process?
Yet on a bigger scale, taking the eagle’s flight way above the microcosm of neos·life and looking out upon the global situation as a whole, there’s something more poignant, more devastating at work.
To put it plainly, humanity — including those deemed conscious — are still too deeply held hostage by fear and perceived limitation to take actions that require them to experience the raw edge of truly being alive.
Most are willingly blinded to the urgency of the planetary crisis, and their true purpose as unlimited creators — their great luminous wings of expanded consciousness and quantum alignment tightly bound by what is comfortable, controllable, and immediately in front of their noses.
If only 10% of that energy to maintain density went to facing the full wild shaking clarity of what is happening on the planet, what our true nature is, and what we all must answer to, give up, rise to, contribute unconditionally, and stand for as warriors to restore and protect truth, innocence and beauty, then consciousness could have the chance to break through.
Mac Macartney, internationally recognised change maker, speaker, author, and founder of Embercombe, UK, shares in his Masterclass Series for neos·academy — Wisdom Tools for the Journey of Self Leadership, his recognition of the profound problem that is passivity. That painfully, still too few of those walking a path of awakening and healing embrace the path of responsible stewardship on Earth.
Richard Rudd, founder of the Gene Keys, similarly speaks of numbness, inertia, fear, and all the other shadow qualities that dim our brilliance and ability to take the extraordinary actions that are required for us to make it across the chasm of destruction currently ripping through our natural ecosystems, food systems and health.
The core proposition of neos·life is to raise human consciousness— not just to the level of self-awareness, but to the level of becoming the full magic of what we’re truly capable of.
If consciousness were not the root cause of all problems on Earth, then there would be no need for neos·life, because the world would already be bountiful with regenerative systems design, circular economy, biophilic cities, and enlightened governments— given that the solutions for every single problem on Earth exist already.
So how can we move such mountainous inertia?
Often if it’s not life-force crippling inertia or fear, it’s misplaced projection, judgement and interference. There are many who feel it their purpose to ‘contribute’ to groundbreaking, visionary, impact driven or large-scale community projects by pointing out everything that they should be doing differently.
Direct, honest and insightful feedback is essential to any growth journey, yet many times this is not in truth the source energy of what is being ‘offered,’ but rather is sourced from inexperienced subjective projections based on a person’s own healing journey that are perhaps relevant in part but not in the whole.
I personally have amassed multiple friendships with longstanding ecovillage founders across UK, Spain, Italy, Costa Rica, and Mexico, as well as many leading regenerative thought leaders, and it is these courageous souls that we listen to with open hearts and eager minds.
Interestingly their advice— grounded in decades of ecovillage building and entrepreneurial experience is usually synonymous, and, contrary to the popular opinions of well-intentioned aspirational community builders who are missing key swathes of information.
This is particularly around the topics of governance and ownership. We can see so clearly the need to break down old patriarchal-hierarchical structures that favour and benefit only the most psychopathic amongst us, that we are blinded to the need for pragmatic bridge-building, the symbiotic interplay of healthy vertical and horizontal systems as taught to us by nature, and/or other dimensional shifts at play.
Yet again, the fundamental theme present here is the great paradigm shift, and state of consciousness that expresses each respective paradigm. On one side is an old paradigm gripped by fear and scarcity, which we can image as an old white man. On the other side is often the naivety and overconfidence exemplary of youth (reaffirming the position of the ‘old man’).
Meanwhile the voice of the true new paradigm, one of deep balance, heart-intelligence, embodied wisdom, and natural law - represented by the archetypal sacred feminine (who is always in union with the wise masculine), is still waiting for everyone else to simply quieten down and actually listen, before everything that has any meaning in this world collapses entirely.
Our ‘lack’ of funding so far is not from lack of people.
On the contrary we have had multiple people interested to invest. But either we said no or they pulled back for reasons that all relate to old paradigm operating. For example, many people we have been in conversation with are still in fact coming from the paradigm of making or guarding money as their main motivation.
Let us be clear - entrepreneurial spirit derived from authentic inspiration that generates abundant wealth belongs to the new paradigm, yet investing or protecting money out of fear or greed is an old paradigm operating system behaviour that is currently holding back the ‘New Earth’ that would see us all living in harmony and beauty.
Thousands of inspiring impactful projects that would innovate, transform, and regenerate the planet are still in gestation awaiting funding, while those who could enable them are pouring money into AI.
Imagine our earth transformed into breathtaking, harmonic villages and cities designed for abundant health, creativity and the wellbeing of its residents and the natural environment.
Would you really prefer to stay in the current paradigm with a robot at your side serving you genetically modified food full of anti-life glyphosates, in a toxic building with a square of dead manicured garden alongside neighbours that you’ll never have a meaningful conversation with in your life?
Making no choice is still a choice. What reality do you want to be a part of and contribute to?
I am not anti-AI, or anti anything if it is in service to us crystallising our true potential and highest purpose in creating beauty and wellbeing for all of life everywhere.
And this is the point.
This is the paradigm shift.
Right here.
If every possible investor chose not to fund inspirational projects like neos·life or any other purpose driven or impact project, because there’s a truer, higher way in which they can create a more beautiful world, then I wholeheartedly support their choice. But often it is not this, but rather a parasitical grip of fear and control that has programmed and enslaved them.
There’s no judgement here — this is a meta crises that we are all working through, but it’s a paradigm that has to break open, and the first step in shifting it lies within ourselves, which is to fully see that it is there, and then recognise that you no longer want live by it— if not for the benefit of others, then even for your own peace, freedom, and creative self-actualisation.
‘neos’ stands for ‘new earth operating system,’ and so the question is, can it — or any new paradigm project — be born from collaboration and funding sourced in anything else?
And so we return to the question, of how can — how will, this consciousness shift into a new paradigm take place?
The great news is that there’s nothing to really ‘do’, nowhere to really ‘go’— there’s only the journey of setting free. The old paradigm programming, the fear, the smallness, the limitations — were all a spell, an illusion, a veil. They are not the truth of who we are.
The truth is that we are powerful beyond measure.
We already are the most advanced healing technology, with infinite creative capacity.
The truth is, that right now, in this very moment — in any and every moment — you have a choice. You can make what I call in the Mastery I program, an Act of Power.
An Act of Power is to turn and face directly into all your limiting beliefs and voice of fear, stare into all your small narratives built on stories of the past, see directly through their illusion, and take a revolutionary action that aligns with the belief that who you truly are and what you’re here for is infinitely greater than you can even imagine right now (yet your heart knows is possible). To take this Act of Power becomes your initiation into a higher octave of your evolution.
So again, the first answer lies in our own courageous self-honesty and awareness, to constantly enquire within:
From which source of consciousness am I coming from?
Does this thought, this choice, this belief, spring from fear and programming, or from my cellular life force and higher heart resonance?
Which source of consciousness do I want to be driving this one precious life I have chosen to experience in this person, at this time?
Many inspirational teachers speak of the ‘new human’ — including the aforementioned Richard Rudd, and our new neos·life Council member, Zach Bush MD — an internationally recognised educator and thought leader on health, disease, and food systems. Zach has founded several nonprofits, including Seraphic Group, Farmer’s Footprint, and the Institute of Natural Law, to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health.
The ‘new human’ is us finally activating our true, full, iridescent magnificence. We look forward to welcoming these and other awakened teachers to the neos.center, integrating their wisdom into the ‘Centre for New Humanity’ — a specific set of programs that will be offered to our community.
In the meantime, you are welcome to watch my Masterclass Series filmed for neos·academy for free. Entitled New Earth Ways of Living and Being, it dives deeper into accessing your innate blueprint potential and releasing old programming.
And I hope to welcome many of you into our Awakening and Mastery programs next year.
Meanwhile, Vincent and I continue to practice the embodiment of all of this ourselves at this most testing moment, where we constantly dance on the edge of paradigms whilst exploring the multiple array of possibilities before us in this final chapter of land acquisition for this specific, magical estate that we have all fallen in love with, in the wild enchantment of Alentejo, Portugal.
With love to all of you,
Karen and Vincent.
P.S. Please join our neos·academy (free) to become part of our inner community.
I am living in Portugal, near Ericeira. When you come around give me a touch for us to meet. If you have a projection book ready to implement, become easier to present to visionary investors.
To start, we need an Executive Summary, to find the right people, then we show The Book.
Great article! I empathize!
