Why Invest in a Spiritual Eco-Village?

Entrusting one's money with the Sat Yoga Eco-Village is a direct investment in one's own life as well as the planet's. An investment of this nature is for the rare out-of-the-box individual that is looking beyond strictly a cash reward for him or her self. Such a person realizes that the existing paradigm of endless growth and the perpetual pursuit of personal financial enrichment of 7 billion people is not sustainable and likely destined for ruin. A booster of the Sat Yoga Eco-Village may want to ensure a place to go to when life becomes untenable. A friend of Sat Yoga is looking beyond the established cash-centric paradigm we live in and ask, "Is there another way? What would it look like? Does it offer hope for the future?" A Sat Yoga benefactor understands that adequate responses to what's going on out there aren't likely to come from the hierarchy at the top but rather from the still silence within.

A person interested in Sat Yoga may be looking at the stock market with incredulity, artificially inflated by QE1 followed by QE2 and now QE3 (and then QE4 if we get there), and wonder if it could be a ticking time bomb. Aside from that, it may be asked, of what genuine value to the world is a well diversified portfolio of arms manufacturers, petroleum companies, fast food chains, GMO seed producers and oligopolistic agribiz?

Real estate is a possibility if you believe that the economy is rebounding and people are going to line up to buy millions of foreclosed homes.

Gold and silver? It might be tempting to wish, like King Midas did, that everything we touch turns to gold. It was only later though that Midas realized he could neither eat nor drink his gold!

Only when the last tree has been cut down; Only when the last river has been poisoned; Only when the last fish has been caught; Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten. - Indian Proverb

In contrast to the conventional pursuit of cash returns, a contribution to the Sat Yoga Eco-Village is an investment in healthy land, simple living, clear flowing water, organic food, healthy community. One is nurturing into existence a center of higher esoteric learning and psychic health and restoration. One is investing in a model for long term sustainability.

In a world that is in crisis, and where everyone in it is in crisis, why not invest in love, wisdom, tolerance and the restoration of deeper understandings? It is the embodiment of these values that are in fact the scarcest natural resources on the planet.

In every moment the choice is open to each of us to live the life we choose to make, the values we choose to embody and create the world we would wish to imagine into being... one dollar, one thought, and one minute at a time. What legacy would you choose to leave?
