Constructing the Pathway to Horizon Three (H3)
Envisioning Our Regenerative Future
Bridging the gap from Horizon One (H1) to Horizon Three (H3) demands innovative pathways, one of which could be the regenerative design pathway. (This article is the continuation of Regeneration is a state of consciousness)
This alternative, available for those who see its potential, revolves around three intertwined dimensions:
Curiosity, Capacity, and Capability.
Curiosity serves as the spark — the precondition that ignites interest and the desire to explore new possibilities. It is akin to finding the end of the thread that leads us through the complexities of transformation. This spark of curiosity is essential for unraveling the complexities of our current systems and envisioning how they might evolve.
Capacity, on the other hand, is the foundational building block. It’s about developing the necessary skills, resources, and environmental conditions to foster growth and enable the transition from mere potential to actionable strategies. Capacity building is critical as it lays the groundwork upon which real change can be constructed.
Finally, Capability is the culmination of curiosity and capacity.
It represents the ability to not only envision but also implement regenerative systems, creating a continuous flow of emergence and innovation.
Capability is about turning potential into possibility, transforming curiosity-driven inquiry into tangible outcomes that support a regenerative future.
Together, these three dimensions form a dynamic interplay, a continuous loop of curiosity, capacity, and capability.
This cycle is essential for fostering a regenerative design pathway that can effectively bridge the current paradigm to a more sustainable and interconnected Horizon Three (H3).
By nurturing these three Cs, we lay the groundwork for a transformative shift, weaving the fabric of a new paradigm through continuous interaction and adaptation.
Curiosity ignites the transformative journey from Horizon One (H1) to Horizon Three (H3.
It’s an internal spark, a deep-seated yearning to understand the separation and detachment from everything around us. This spark fuels a curiosity for connection — not just with oneself, but also with others and with nature, establishing a sub-path of curiosity intertwined with connection. Such connections delve into the concept of inter-being, often explored and defined, revealing how deeply interlinked our lives are with the larger ecosystem.
This foundational curiosity activates capacity, prompting profound questions about our existence:
Why am I here?
What is my purpose in this body, in this family, or this country?
Connection
It seeks to connect with others on similar paths and explore how these relationships shape our understanding of the world and ourselves.
Capacity thus becomes not just a reservoir of potential but a dynamic force, driving us to align with the patterns and principles of living systems.
Capacity expands into an understanding of the interconnectedness of all things, grasping the principles of regenerative design and its application across various domains such as economics, urban planning, and personal spiritual regeneration.
It’s about applying these principles to rejuvenate not just our external world but also our inner selves, fostering a consciousness that is aware, awake, and aligned with the earth’s regenerative capabilities.
In this context, capacity is not static; it evolves and incorporates another critical ‘C’ — Consciousness.
Consciousness
This consciousness is key to transforming curiosity into actionable understanding, setting the stage for the capabilities that enable us to realize and implement regenerative systems effectively.
Through this intricate interplay of curiosity, connection, capacity, and consciousness, we pave the way toward a new paradigm of interbeing and sustainable coexistence.
Consciousness, in the context of transformative change, is a dynamic interplay of curiosity, capacity, and capability, each intertwined with the crucial element of connection.
This interplay is not static but a vibrant, evolving process where each component fuels and reinforces the others.
Curiosity sparks an inquiry into our existence and our relationship with the world, driving us to build capacity — that is, the depth of understanding and the skills necessary to navigate complex systems.
As we apply and integrate this understanding with intentional action, we develop capability, and the practical ability to implement regenerative designs that align human activities with the rhythms of nature.
This ongoing application and integration deepen our connection with the world, fostering a state of interbecoming where humanity and nature co-evolve.
Through this continuous interaction, a further emergence of consciousness is activated, enhancing our awareness and understanding of the world and our place within it.
This emergent consciousness is not merely the sum of its parts but a complex synthesis that evolves as we explore, understand, and act upon our interconnectedness with all life.
Capability in the context of transitioning from Horizon One (H1) to Horizon Three (H3) represents the synthesis of applied design and human integration with the natural world.
This integration is not just about coexistence but about embedding the principles of interbeing into every aspect of our lives, aligning human activities with the energies of nature.
This alignment facilitates an interbecoming, a dynamic and ongoing process where humans and nature evolve together, shaping and reshaping each other in a continuous dialogue.
Capability, therefore, is about actualizing this theoretical framework into tangible practices that reflect our deep interconnectedness, fostering a reciprocal relationship that nourishes both humanity and the natural environment.
This profound integration exemplifies how we can transform theoretical knowledge and capacity into a living, breathing reality that champions sustainability and regeneration
