The education of a transcendent generation
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a conceptual framework for understanding and integrating future consciousness at a global level.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper makes a case for transcendence beyond routine ways of teaching and learning by developing a holistic framework to examine educational practices and means.
Findings
Based on the ancient Indian Ashrama system, and borrowing from Taoist philosophy, a four segment Tao cycle framework is proposed to engage people across a transcendent learning arc.
Originality/value
This integrative conceptual framework is a possible lens through which the individual may project their own development throughout the life cycle. It offers a potential alternative, non‐Western diaspora for enhancing future consciousness.
