TRS Foundation. Transitioning the modern age into the Karunopia¹ Age.

In The Beginning

The world has changed and so has everyone in it. Mankind has created an environment which changes faster than individuals within it can cope. Very little in our past can prepare one for the daunting challenges ahead. Waves of technical advancement have caught up to the dreams of the future and run ahead. Nations, businesses, cultural leaders, politicians and citizens alike lag in their ability to manage effectively in this period of disruption.

Mission of TRS Foundation

TRS Foundation is a vision and mission for creating a biologically interconnected sustainable society that is governed by compassion and ethics, and implemented through six pillars (commerce, education, energy, food, media and science). Our world today operates in the traditional smokestack model whereby advancements are based on continual internal-focused and linear innovation. The ultimate goal of TRS will be to extract best-in-class innovations, knowledge and ideas, and cross-pollinate them across each pillar – establishing biologically integrated collaboration amongst varying industries. This interconnectivity will drastically advance innovation, comprehension and produce meaningful results.

With the recognition that we must improve and hasten social contract as the major avenue to societal change, TRS stimulates all of us to think deeply about our societal challenges, and to enlist participation in our joint quest for embracing and leading this change. No one can have all the answers; they will arise from our common learning enterprise. Our goal will be to engineer a new society that provides a decent quality of life while coexisting in a long-term sustainable relationship with the natural environment that nourishes it.

Total Role in Society Platform is the foundation and measure of an organization/innovation’s positive contribution to those within its functioning environment. An organization/innovation’s sole responsibility is no longer limited to maximizing growth value for its constituents but also to monitor and positively affect its impact on people, community, environment and whomever it touches and nourishes.

A New Value Blueprint

TRS provides a template, a philosophy and a measurement system for organizations/entities to view their role on a broader scale. It examines an entity across four dimensions: sustainable, intent-based, vision; economic potential of relationships; productivity of impact loops; and alignment of intent, behaviors and communications.

On a philosophical level TRS enables leaders and innovators to commence the dialogues necessary to re-engineer a sustainable society to meet the demands of a rapidly changing, chaotic world. On a pragmatic level it provides an objective methodology for affecting positive impacts that focus the society on developing mutually beneficial relationships that secure and enhance its future.

In a period where organizations and entities are contemplating and re-evaluating their strategy, capabilities and contributions, TRS can act as a positive lightning rod. It can focus the energy of multiple beliefs, strategies, programs, communications and messages along a single axis – an axis that illuminates the landscape of diverse actions under one powerful, transforming scheme.

Sustainable Model

The foundation will design and create a sustainable structure to serve not only as an example of sustainability, but more importantly, as a destination and an environment for best-in-class minds to explore, engineer, create, and innovate. Its purpose is to inspire and challenge convention while producing a plethora of ideas for solving or improving current or future societal, economic and environmental dilemmas. From these ideas, new organizations, innovations and other entities will be realized – all of which will be optimized through extensive focus with the TRS principles.

The interconnectivity of the foundation will support and develop these entities and their respective endeavors, and will promote sustainability and a radical, yet necessary, manner of daily life. These entities and innovations support and promote the underlying mission of the foundation – leading to greater interest and attention from others. With more of society educated and participatory, the foundation’s overarching goal of building an interconnected sustainable society will be further realized.

TRS Foundation is based on sustainable compassion and ethics and the belief that each clear-minded person or entity is capable and privileged of positive contribution. We foster connections with like-minded organizations and individuals passionate about ushering in a new age – The Karunopia Age. Connect with us to enlighten and empower – to rejuvenate and reincarnate a compassionate society that the civilization demands and deserves.

If this resonates with you, I would be honored to meet with you to explore ideas.

¹Karunopia – The environment and condition of perfect integration between compassion and ethics. The English word compassion is used to translate the Sanskrit “karuna” which is etymologized as “suspending happiness”. To feel compassion, you must turn away slightly from your own focus on superficial happiness to sense the true condition of others. Honestly facing their pains. This is considered the key to expanding awareness from its habitual imprisonment in self-centered state of mind.
