    Decolonizing Education: A New Earth Curriculum for the Filipino Soul

    Reclaiming Indigenous Knowing, Reweaving the Heart of Learning

    By Gerald Daquila | Akashic Records Transmission


    6–9 minutes

    ABSTRACT

    This dissertation explores the profound necessity of decolonizing the Philippine educational system through a multidimensional, soul-aligned framework rooted in ancestral wisdom, planetary ascension, and liberatory pedagogy. Drawing upon the Akashic Records, indigenous Filipino lifeways, holistic education models, esoteric traditions, trauma-informed practice, and postcolonial theory, the paper offers a comprehensive vision of a New Earth Curriculum.

    This curriculum transcends colonial constructs and reactivates the original codes embedded in the Filipino soul — a soul shaped by babaylan consciousness, bayanihan spirit, and earth-honoring cosmologies. The work is a call to remember education not as indoctrination, but as soul ignition and planetary stewardship. This paper offers both a meta-framework and practical guide for educators, curriculum designers, and soul-aligned leaders.

    Where memory and future converge as one teaching.


    1. Introduction

    Education, as it has long been structured in the Philippines, was not built for the liberation of the Filipino soul. Rather, it was engineered as a colonial apparatus to disconnect people from their land, ancestors, cosmology, and inner knowing. The New Earth calls us to remember. This blog-dissertation is an offering and blueprint for realigning education to its sacred function: the awakening of sovereign, whole, earth-connected, soul-led human beings.

    The Akashic Records affirm: the true curriculum lies not in memorized dates or standardized tests, but in the body, the land, the stars, the rituals, and the ancestral memory carried through blood and breath.


    2. Historical Overview: Colonial Fractures in the Filipino Psyche

    Spanish, American, and later post-industrial colonial influences rewrote Filipino identity, language, and educational orientation. Spanish colonizers imposed religious indoctrination through mission schools. American colonizers institutionalized industrial and bureaucratic education (Constantino, 1970). The Filipino soul was taught to forget — its languages, stories, animist roots, and communal practices replaced by Western metrics of productivity, hierarchy, and obedience.

    The Akashic insight reveals this as not merely cultural, but a multidimensional dismemberment. Colonialism disrupted the energetic grids and wisdom portals embedded in Philippine archipelagic consciousness.


    3. The Soul of Education: Definitions and Philosophical Foundations

    A soul-aligned education nurtures the entire being — mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, ancestral, and cosmic. This aligns with integral education (Sri Aurobindo, 1920s), Waldorf (Steiner, 1924), Montessori, and contemporary frameworks like holistic pedagogy (Miller, 2007).

    The New Earth Curriculum integrates:

    • Education as Initiation: Learning mirrors rites of passage and soul evolution.
    • Education as Activation: Unlocking divine gifts, memory, and mission.
    • Education as Remembrance: A return to ancestral and cosmic truths.

    The ultimate goal is not career preparation, but soul embodiment and planetary stewardship.


    4. Esoteric and Akashic Insights: Education as Remembrance

    From an Akashic perspective, education is a recollection of soul contracts, encoded gifts, and pre-incarnational agreements. The Filipino soul remembers itself not as an empty vessel, but as a multidimensional being carrying light codes, stories, and sacred tasks. Learning, then, becomes an inward excavation and outward co-creation.

    Esoteric traditions (Hermeticism, Anthroposophy, Lemurian and Atlantean memory streams) affirm this principle: true knowing arises from gnosis — direct, lived, inner revelation.


    5. Indigenous Filipino Pedagogies: Pre-colonial Roots and Wisdom Systems

    Before colonization, education was oral, embodied, and intergenerational. Key components included:

    • Babaylan Teachings: Dreamwork, herbalism, energy healing, cosmology, and gender balance.
    • Bayanihan Learning: Collective learning through co-creation, work, ritual, and harvest cycles.
    • Storytelling and Chanting: As transmission of cosmic law, tribal memory, and moral imagination.

    These pedagogies centered the Earth, ancestors, and the sacred — in stark contrast to modern compartmentalized schooling.


    6. Trauma, Healing, and Somatic Integration in Learning

    Colonial education created systemic trauma: cultural shame, body-mind splits, and identity fragmentation (Memmi, 1965; Fanon, 1963). A decolonized curriculum must therefore be trauma-informed, integrating:

    • Somatic practices: Movement, breathwork, and ritual to reintegrate the body.
    • Inner child and ancestral healing: Reclaiming the severed roots of identity.
    • Sacred grief and memory circles: To metabolize historical pain and reclaim agency.

    These are not supplementary — they are foundational to holistic learning.


    7. Elements of a New Earth Curriculum

    A. Core Pillars:

    • Soul Sovereignty: Teach discernment, intuition, and inner guidance.
    • Ancestral Wisdom: Teach Filipino cosmology, rites, herbal medicine, indigenous music, and languages.
    • Earth Literacy: Regenerative farming, permaculture, eco-design, planetary systems.
    • Creative Embodiment: Dance, music, chant, storytelling, ritual arts.
    • Service and Stewardship: Local contribution projects, aligned with planetary needs.

    B. Hidden Curriculum Unlocked:

    • Frequency, vibration, and energy hygiene
    • Light body and chakra education
    • Sacred masculine-feminine integration
    • Multidimensionality and star lineage remembrance

    8. Methodologies: Multidimensional Learning, Circularity, and Inner Authority

    Colonial education teaches from the top-down; soul education moves from the inside-out. Methodologies include:

    • Circle Pedagogy: Egalitarian, heart-led dialogue and co-creation.
    • Inquiry-Based Learning: Questions as gateways to gnosis.
    • Dreamwork and Mythology: To access symbolic intelligence and guidance.
    • Land-Based Learning: Teaching directly through rivers, forests, and stones.
    • Ritual as Curriculum: Marking thresholds, endings, and soul awakenings.

    These methods are not just techniques — they restore sacred relationship and right order.


    9. Case Applications and Pilot Prototypes

    Several living examples embody elements of the New Earth Curriculum:

    • Pangarap Foundation (Philippines): Integrating eco-literacy, soul-based mentorship, and trauma healing.
    • Tamera (Portugal) and Damanhur (Italy): Living laboratories for sacred education.
    • Bahay Kalipay and Maia Earth Village (Palawan): Holistic retreats teaching soul sovereignty, sacred arts, and Earth stewardship.
    • Light Architect Circles (Emerging): Soul-led teams designing community schools from the inside out.

    These prototypes reflect a rising planetary pattern: education as soul activation.


    10. Conclusion

    To decolonize education in the Philippines is to heal a nation’s soul. It is to remember who we were before we were told what to be. It is to rebuild an ecosystem of learning that reflects the sacredness of life, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the promise of a New Earth.

    This curriculum is not imported. It is remembered.

    It is not standardized. It is sovereign.

    It is not imposed. It is invoked — by the Filipino soul awakening to its divine mission, through light, lineage, and love.
