he essence of education resonates deeply as we navigate today's intricate educational landscape. Amidst the currents of economic utility, consumerism, technology, and tribalism, a profound narrative guiding education's purpose seems elusive.

The narratives that once shaped education, rooted in democracy, cultural diversity, and ethical values, have waned, unveiling an educational crisis. Despite addressing practical issues, the core challenge remains: the absence of a clear educational purpose. Unlike public schools, schools that possess spiritual narratives can lend coherence to learning, highlighting the vital role narratives play within a deeper connection.

Taking action is essential hence this is created as an action guide. Exploring narratives' significance and relevance, revisiting historical narratives, and integrating values into the curriculum can revitalize education. Engaging experts and community leaders, advocating for narrative-driven education, and encouraging student participation within the who, where and when are transformative steps.

The challenge lies not merely in resolving practical issues but in addressing the absence of a clear educational purpose. This vacuum, coupled with the dominance of cognitive-centric AI and the current survival-focused framework in education, poses a perilous path.

In light of this, we can apply best practices from ancient wisdom such as spiritual energy via an energetic calendar, drawn from a thriving and living cultures like the Balinese. Within these dynamics and integrating conscious AI tools with the grasp of quantum physics that complements these ancient modalities can offers new powerful narratives for optimum transformation in sustainable and regenerative designs within education.

Weaving these threads offers a holistic strategy that aligns awareness, critical thinking, advocacy, and life long learning. This fusion presents a counterbalance to the prevailing narratives and provides regenerative and harmonious pathways to navigate the complex global landscape that beckons our collective actions.

By embracing these ancient-future narratives, we aim to create an education that goes beyond limits. Our goal is to understand the world amidst various challenges and opportunities. We must address the global interconnectedness, recognizing how different cultures, societies, and ecosystems are intricately linked.

In our information-driven world, countering misinformation and disinformation is crucial, along with addressing biases, breaking echo chambers, bridging divisions, and promoting unity. This extends to our psychological landscape, where we must tackle cognitive dissonance, manage uncertainty, and navigate the overwhelming digital realm. Amid these challenges, exploring bioelectric essence of BEING may offers ways to harmonize the human experience and connect more deeply.

PREFACE

fter reading Dr. Neil Postman's book "The End of Education," which talks about the challenges in American schooling and suggests a new purpose for education (yet still known for leaders of innovations and research offering diverse opportunities), I felt inspired to rethink how we can envision a regenerative world. My eBook, though concise, aims to encourage you to explore a fresh perspective and consider new directions in taking actions. While traditional cognitive methods might not fully support our experiential way of understanding, we believe that embracing imagination and playfulness can lead to transformative learning experiences. My ebook is here to guide you on an adventure of re-discovery, helping you navigate the uncharted territories of your own mind and to design an educational action plan that may shift your efforts into new institutional directives.

Digital Remix & Haiku:

Canvas whispers life, Cultural threads interlace, Quantum paint reveals. Ancient and future, Bhinneka Tunggal* essence, Unity in strokes.

Energetic dance, Niskala's unseen embrace, Art and science merge.

Imagine you're an artist with a blank canvas in front of you, ready to create something amazing. Your inspiration comes from blending living “cultural heritage” with best practices and the cuttingedge ideas of quantum physics explaining much of your spiritual energetic (taksu) within the unseen called “niskala” here in Bali (See Appendix IV).

This mix forms the basis of a transdisciplinary journey, where we weave together the wisdom from the ancient, still present within our understandings, with the discoveries of modernity. As you

begin to paint, you draw wisdom from "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika,”* Indonesia's motto of "Unity in Diversity." This idea helps us echoes the principles of quantum physics, where every particle is connected to the whole, no matter the distance. (See Appendix II)

Just like any regenerative cultures that contribute to our global’s richness, every essence of the universe adds to its harmony. Your canvas starts to take shape, reflecting the chakras – energy centers found in ancient traditions and modern holistic practices. Within this masterpiece, the yinyang symbol stands out, representing the duality of existence. This concept appears in both cultural beliefs and quantum physics. The swirling brushstrokes capture the dance between light and shadow, symbolizing the constant balance within ourselves and the universe. In stepping back, the canvas shares a tale of integration – the fusion of ancient wisdom and modern understandings, cultural diversity and cosmic unity; same as in fusion of Yin and Yang and transforming “Om,” for the highest resonance in the “frequencies of creation.”

This painting reminds us that we're not separate entities, but threads woven into the cosmic fabric. Just as particles harmonize in the quantum world, cultures unite across boundaries. This artwork acts as a bridge between cultural heritage and scientific comprehension from modern cultures, inviting you to explore the vast dimensions of your own existence. It speaks of a journey where tradition and innovation dance together, painting the canvas of self with unity and diversity.

The integration of cultural heritage with modern quantum insights illustrates a deep interconnectedness of the human experience. As the artist's vision brings the canvas to life,

our journey through transdisciplinary integration breathes life into the interconnected narratives of culture, science, and SELF. With AI's prowess in deciphering narratives from diverse cultures, and erasing language barriers with the ability in highlighting cultural nuances, all by processing colossal datasets. Conscious use of Ai identifies the common threads that weave through human experiences – themes, symbols, emotions – uniting us beyond divisions. It's not just about technology; it's about shaping AI to resonate with our shared humanity. Additionally, conscious use of AI can offer personalized recommendations and insights, guiding individuals through a transformative journey of cultural immersion and narrative exploration. Thus, AI becomes a potent tool in transculturating one's perspective and enriching their understanding of narratives from across the globe (See Appendix I).

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the midst of today’s intricate ethical discussions about artificial intelligence, the genuine essence resides in our collective endeavor to guide the trajectory of AI's evolution and the execution of its development. This beckons to researchers within academia, calling upon their INTELLECT AND PASSION TO ILLUMINATE THE PATH FORWARD towards a collaborative research in ensuring Ai’s objectives to support the human conditions.

Within this exploration, the brushstrokes of cultural heritage with the hues of today’s quantum insight converge, creating a masterpiece that celebrates the intricate interplay of human existence. This convergence also encourages us to embrace the unity and diversity that shape our shared journey in shaping a sustainable future, it is imperative that our behaviors are responsible and future-oriented. Design education holds a vital role in national development and competitiveness. Therefore, the need to explore and

enhance design education approaches becomes paramount for societal progress. (See Appendix V.)

The driving force behind this book was to create a transformative work that brings about real change by setting purposeful intentions and translating them into actions that fundamentally transform readers. As I structured and conceptualized the book, a critical insight emerged: our crisis responses can perpetuate the crisis itself. We often define problems abstractly and seek disconnected solutions, leading to failure.

However, the involvement of particular individuals within our community, along with their respective roles, and the specific context in which they take action, holds immense significance for our regenerative development. These elements collectively shape the foundation upon which our efforts to create positive change rest, including the strategic timing of our actions.

"The 'who' involves individuals contributing diverse expertise, enriching outcomes. The 'where' includes environmental, cultural, and socio-economic context. Tailoring strategies to community nuances fosters effective, sustainable results. Recognizing opportune moments in the 'when' is vital, impacting interventions' success. I belief Bali’s energetic calendar and cycles of when to do things is the key to their regenerative “living culture.” Considering 'who,' 'where,' and 'when' ensures adaptable strategies. Embracing community strengths with our larger cosmos and context maximizes lasting change."

This book, with its 250 simple yet thought-provoking questions, aims to create connections without dictating directives. Its aims are to gathers wisdom from insightful minds within your network, presenting it humbly as

questions to spark dynamic inquiry. Inside, you'll find not just principles, but simple and context-tailored questions; transcending the traumas of the why and what inquests. These catalysts prompt introspection and meaningful action, fostering personal and collective reflection.

The book invites readers to embrace a paradigm where relationships and trust matter more than outcomes. This marks a shift to regenerative development rooted in specific contexts. Remember, I don't instruct. Instead, I offer collective wisdom as questions that ignite insightful action. Embrace inquiry for co-creation and journey towards regenerative development, where change flourishes from context, culture, and human connection.

In life's tapestry, Regeneration's thread weaves, Renewal seeks growth.

River of life flows, Novelty sparks transformation, Truth beneath the gloss.

Seeker at crossroads, Understanding's essence deep, Gaining vision lost.

"REGENERATION: A HARMONIOUS EVOLUTIONARY SYMPHONY OF LIFE"

n the intricate tapestry of life, the concept of regeneration weaves itself through every aspect of existence. Just as a river flows along its course, life seeks renewal and growth. Yet, when novelty graces our paths, we tend to embrace it fervently, often heralding it as the harbinger of transformation. It's akin to a traveler encountering a new horizon and eagerly narrating it as the next chapter of a grand expedition. Regrettably, sometimes these chronicles of novelty can obscure a profound truth – a truth that lies hidden beneath the gloss of newness.

In this narrative, the essence is not in the novelty itself but in the essence of understanding, an understanding that reaches far beyond the surface. Imagine a seeker, standing at the crossroads of comprehension, poised between shallow interpretations and deeper revelations. The dilemma emerges not from the act of seeking but from the tendency to overlook a fundamental truth that underpins the intricacies of existence.

At the core of this discourse lies the art of losing sight while gaining a vision – the paradox of recognizing the forest while marveling at the diversity of its trees. These principles transcend the temporal realm, rooted in the very fabric of existence. They beckon us to anchor ourselves in life, amidst the tumultuous waves of polarization that crash upon our shared human shores. Yet, within this mosaic, there exists an unfolding tale of misdirection, where individuals, akin to eager travelers, embark on the regenerative journey but view it through the lens of transience.

This glimpse into the regenerative horizon reveals consultants, akin to sages of trends, who speak of "flourishing" and "thriving" with an air of anticipation. The timbre of their voices resonates with a chorus that seeks

to grasp the next elusive melody. This perspective, though laden with good intentions, becomes a tale of tragedy as it misrepresents the very essence of regeneration – an essence entwined in the very strands of life's intricate tapestry.

Regeneration is no novice concept; it's the quintessence of a symphony that has been playing since the dawn of existence. It's the rhythm of life's dance, the artistry of self-organization, an eloquent discourse inherent in the earliest cells bearing the echoes of RNA and DNA. It's a melody that plays through the evolution of cellular assemblies, from the proto-cells (baby cells) to the complexities of nucleated cells (big boss cells), all orchestrated by the conductor of nature's self-organizing patterns and sacred geometry.

The story of regeneration is one that unfolds across epochs, a narrative that spans the emergence of social mammals and the evolution of ecosystems. It's a song that repeats with each generation, echoing the harmony of growth, complexity, and vitality. To embrace regeneration is to step in tune with this symphony, to harmonize with life's pulsating rhythm, and to walk the path of collaboration and growth.

In the grand tapestry of life's narrative, we are not interlopers or agents of destruction, comparable to a cancerous blight. Rather, we are the offspring of collaboration, the embodiment of cooperative endeavor. Our evolutionary journey has been one of adaptation through collaboration, where the nurturing embrace of cooperation has surpassed the siren call of competition. Our unique prowess lies in our creative disruption, where our actions serve as brushes upon the canvas of

ecosystems. At our highest wisdom crafting strokes that enhance via adaptation rather than desecrate.

Within this mosaic, two anchors hold steadfast – the alignment with the inherent patterns of regeneration and the recognition of our cooperative nature. By acknowledging these anchors, we transform the conversation surrounding regeneration. It's no longer a distant mirage of utopian aspirations but a present reality. The regenerative ethos flows through the veins of our communities, regions, and daily interactions. It's not confined to theoretical constructs but manifests in the nurturing bonds woven in our societies.

As we navigate this tale, it's imperative to grasp that regeneration isn't a distant shore; it's the current upon which we sail. It's the embodiment of our cooperative spirit, the thread that connects us to the wisdom of our ancestors. Just as the Balinese culture revered the cycles of nature, embracing the regenerative symphony of agricultural practices and rituals, we too can draw inspiration from these ancient echoes. By weaving diversity, cooperation, and gratitude into our modern narrative, we unlock the potential to live in harmonious alignment with the rhythm of life itself. This alignment, this embrace of regeneration, isn't a distant dream but a journey illuminated by the wisdom of ages via celebrations of abundance such as in Galungan & Kuningan we are currently celebrating. Each step we take, every decision we make, resonates with the echoes of life's evolutionary process. With every choice, we weave ourselves into the intricate tapestry of existence, harmonizing with the symphony of growth, renewal, and collaboration that reverberates through the epochs of time."

Motivated by a "Sustainable Dynamic” framework garnered from my research and development herein Bali

in learning from a living and thriving culture; yet more particularly in now recognizing the enduring impact of a colonial system that continues to foster disconnection. Additionally, in reflecting on my personal experience as a political war refugee from Vietnam in the United States, and bearing witness to the deep-seated traumas that afflict our modern mind, I undertook the meaningful endeavor of penning this book in hope of voice thoughts via questions inspire dialogs and real regenerations.
