The mystery of the soul has captivated humanity throughout time. In this new conversation, Aviv Shahar and Portalsfriends continue exploring The Soul’s Journey, now delving into the enigma of spontaneous healing. This live event weaves contemplations, soul dialogue, music, and visual expression. The invitation is to slow down and release the pressure to instantly agree or disagree. Instead, allow space to gently listen to the soul's subtle, quiet voice.

The soul’s knowledge is immense, largely untapped. By uplifting the meaning of “knowledge” beyond conventional learning, we begin to perceive the self and the soul as distinct yet deeply interwoven: the self as the "choice-making you," and the soul as the intelligent companion forever tethered to infinite creativity and all knowledge. Eight core soul premises serve as perceptual gateways, inviting deeper recognition of the soul’s role and subtle influence as it nudges us forward with the capacity to mediate the uncertainty of a new epoch and an unknown future.

Spontaneous healing is one such soul capacity — rare, mysterious, and historically documented. The soul already works as healer, and has the potential to access the knowledge to bridge to higher energies and intelligence that are faster than the planetary speeds of conventional healing. Can we release the pains of our yesterdays to create space for such renewal?

If we don’t trust the intelligence of the soul and the natural systems we’re part of, how can they deliver capabilities beyond the known? What mindset, energy, and connections are needed to open the gate to this higher possibility?

Significant opportunities:

• Create space to release the pressure of having to agree or disagree and open to the soul’s natural rhythm.
• Discover a wider intelligence that transcends conditioned ideas of learning.
• Recognize the agency of the self and how the soul supports our alignment with higher intelligence to help us mediate change, especially in times of great uncertainty.
• Ask: What is spontaneous healing? What blocks it? What inner gateways open it?

“The Soul reads the subtle, energetic properties of everything. So every sound, every color, every object, every shape, every internal feeling, every registration of the environment, all of those, each and every one of those dimensions and elements, they carry knowledge. Every word carries knowledge, but it's not just a word; it's the intonation, it's the sound. So when we say the Soul is intimately connected with all the knowledge that exists on the planet, we are inferring the full range is available by potential for the Soul.” (Aviv)

“What does it feel like when you embrace this idea that there is a part of you, an intelligence loom within you, an intelligence loom that accompanies you all the days of your life, including when you are asleep, never leaves you without, affords you all that you know to do, supports you every moment of your life, and that it has all that you may need to encounter the challenges in front of you?” (Aviv)

Spontaneous Healing – Event Part 2: The Soul’s Journey In Between Epochs

How can we bring the whole human intelligence to strengthen and steady us as we navigate an epochal shift?

In this engaging workshop, through inquiry and ground-breaking insights, Aviv Shahar and a group of international friends explore the story of the soul alongside the unfolding story of the evolving epoch. Movement, music, painting and drawing are shared as live, experimental methodologies to liberate our unique inner capacities.

Beginning with a summary of Chapters 1–6 of Portals into the Soul, the workshop opens the challenging invitation to attune to the greater versatility of one’s soul. At its core, the premise is a calling to the human family to re-engage the soul as a vital force in our time.

Rather than offering answers, the invitation is to live into the inquiry. Within each of us, one part may be dying while another is being born anew. Participants' contributions illuminate this inner panorama, revealing that what we see happening in the world is also stirring within us.

As we come to see that the energy crisis is not only planetary but also a concern of the soul — expressed in inner fragmentation, fatigue, and the depletion of human faculties — the search for greater intactness and soul range becomes a path to renewed vitality. This awakening can unlock inner resources to meet the demands of our time.

In the face of a global leadership breakdown, the soul’s journey calls us to step into a deeper initiation, toward becoming fully self-arising, self-responsible, and self-directing beings. True self-leadership emerges as essential for personal growth and for navigating transformative times.

• How do we engage in three essential tasks at once: release the conditioning of the old epoch and its operating system, embrace the liminal transition into the unknown, and facilitate liberation in the emerging epoch?
• The meta-crisis is not merely a problem to solve, but an expression and symptom of an epochal transition.
• What triggers chronic conflict in humans and what could enable deep settlement, peace, and well-being?
• How do we discover and cultivate the inner technologies that support process leadership? What we need now are process catalysts and facilitators of emergence.
• We are tenderly hospice-ing a dying epoch and caringly midwifing the birth of a new one — not only in the world around us, but within ourselves. This sensibility is arising in many people who feel called to this threshold.

“Any crisis point you can describe, and look at, on the world stage, has an interior dimension that mirrors it, that we can frame by way of an inquiry that is a Soul concern. So we'll abide with that for a bit, and there again, the inquiry will be, okay, what is it that we are observing that we can do, individually and collectively, to help facilitate the Soul to be more fully resilient, and all of us as people, wherever we find ourselves?” (Aviv)

“Part of the awareness in this is that we cannot make the transition from one epoch to the next just with our heads, just with concepts. We actually need the whole human person, the full inner orchestra, the inner lives, all the faculties, all the capabilities, all the talents, all the intelligence lines to participate in the discovery.” (Aviv)

Navigating the Shift – Event Part 1: The Soul’s Journey In Between Epochs

“How do you know what you know?” This provocative question sets the stage for an illuminating live conversation. Opening pathways to expanded ways of knowing is a profound liberation — especially in a time marked by increasing polarization. The exploration of ten distinct types of knowledge runs throughout this latest dialogue in the Universalis series.

In this episode, Aviv Shahar, Karen Heney, and Kyriaki Nikandrou explore the transformative shifts that catalyze the emergence of a "Universalis human." These shifts guide us beyond rigid fixations and controlling tendencies rooted in what we think we know, steering us instead toward authentic curiosity and inquiry into the unknown. Through a whole-person contemplative exploration, attuned to the natural flow of life, we discover how each of us can uniquely serve the universe.

Insights developed and explored include:

• To dance with the universe and be an agency for life is the invitation at the heart of this enlightening conversation.
• The 10 Dimensions of Knowledge introduce pathways where integrated approaches expand and elevate our capacity to know. By weaving together the experienced, the sensed, and the intuited, we liberate our multiple inner lives — and in doing so unlock and uplift what we can connect with and understand.
• Through a potent inquiry integrating thinking and feeling, this brief explores new ways of knowing — not by replacing our senses, feelings or emotions, but by introducing frameworks of reference about how the universe works, ready to guide and accompany us on our journey inward.
• With domain residency, access to knowledge becomes almost instant as the domain knows itself through you. You can then move with ease through different life domains (such as family or profession) and unlock broader networks of human possibility.
• The emerging inquiry is: How fully can we be present in ourselves in order to access these pathways and liberate whole‑person, integrated knowing?

This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. Information about upcoming special events can be found on the Events page. Also visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

“And then the inquiry arose from an even more foundational place, which is, how do you integrate what you think you know, by way of reference that you have learned, and the feeling experience? How do you bring these two interior universes into a convergent coherence where thinking and feeling work together rather than fight each other?” (Aviv)

“And what I suggested here is that there is a point where the attunement to a domain, and being centered in the first-principle nature of the domain, you become the embodiment of the essence of that domain. It's another way of describing it, a whole other level of mastery, process knowledge, sentiment knowledge, and domain knowledge, now you became the embodiment of that arena or that space, or that artistry or that discipline that you demonstrate.” (Aviv)

The Universalis Project #17 – 10 Dimensions of Knowing

One of our greatest sources of power is our imagination — the creative energy we bring online as we visualize the way forward and a new blueprint for humanity’s renewal. It’s the knowledge we are never alone: intelligence and perception in multiple dimensions are available for the asking. Can we make the space? Are we prepared to update our understanding and belief about what is possible?

Great ponders once again for our international group of Portals friends, who gathered recently with Aviv Shahar to explore what it means to create a new future-inclined operating system for the human species in this epochal moment. These creative contemplations began in their first gathering. A core understanding is that as the universe accelerates its expansion, we also can choose to accelerate, and be more defined by who we are becoming than by who we were yesterday. In doing so, we then begin to sense our Universalis nature.

Additional insights from our friends’ collective contemplation:

• What is uniquely different about this time is that our destructive capacity is exponential; so much is at stake, especially for future generations and the toddlers arriving now.
• We are each self-authoring, each responsible; no need to wait for a teacher or guru to tell us what to do. In this epochal moment, we awaken into our own fuller potential.
• The best advice in any crisis point is find somebody to help; when you help somebody else, you help yourself.
• We are loved and supported by creation: believe in that. We are not alone; something higher enhances us, and we can lean into that strength.

“Where do I begin a place of renewal and upgrade? Well, the first two places I go to, nature and my purpose friends, and my community of purpose, one of which is right here right now, with all of you. And thirdly, I work daily to be in communion with the sacred blessing realms, the invisible, unseen blessing realms that I feel and experience when I'm out in nature. I feel an experience when we come together, and I feel an experience in literally everything I do, every moment of my life. And when I forget to remember that, I don't feel as well. I don't feel as vibrantly energized as I know I can.” (Aviv)

“So now I ask myself, well, how will I choose to upgrade my self-authoring government in how I guide, how I enact, how I regulate my everything? It begins with how I regulate my energies because everything begins with energy, it's the foundational property of life. How do I regulate my physical energy, emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational energy? And then, how do I guide, and enact, and regulate my thoughts, my feelings, my inner lives?” (Aviv)

This Epochal Moment, Event Part 2: Renewal

Is it really a contradiction to think of the global chaos unfolding us around as both an overdue day of reckoning, and possibly the most hopeful, optimistic time we’ve seen in this century? Can humanity still retain the capacity for renewal and rebirth in such a time of intense doubt and fear about the future?

It seems like the perfect contemplation for a group of international Portals friends who recently gathered with Aviv Shahar to share their intuitions about this moment in the onsetting new epoch. Their intention and direction are to begin imagining a path forward, a new blueprint, through the upheaval to a new possibility for resurrection and rejuvenation.

The collective intelligence reveals clarity and confidence, and the humility of realizing we swim in a great unknown among emerging patterns of new universal possibility.

Among their insights and sentiments:

• We call this an epochal moment because humanity is fast approaching a pivot point that can define future possibility, but requires an active individual and collective response.
• If humanity does not choose wisely, we can cause irreversible harm. Never has so much depended on the few of us alive today to guarantee future generations have a future.
• Just when we need it the most, the global collaboration required to solve global issues is becoming harder to find in this time of a quickening epochal transition.
• The coming decade is a critical reckoning time, as upgrade and renewal begin with each of us, and how we express the values and sentiments of the emerging universal human.

“For some of us, this is what we're here, what we bargained, what we contracted. If you believe that you come here to life with a sacred contract, then that is what you showed up here for; that is to say, with all the know-how and the spiritual and personal capacities to play at this time and be a constructive, creative contributor to the journey of humanity through these times of change.” (Aviv)

“What it practically means is that all systems, at all levels, are experiencing and will experience phase shift. We shouldn't be surprised by anything in the coming years and decades. Because the system is going through such a tectonic shift, the entire biological system, and the energetic system that accompanies and works with and through the biological system and this planet, the entire connected system, is going through a massive shift, which is why we are experiencing these changes that we are seeing.” (Aviv)

This Epochal Moment, Event Part 1: Breakdown

Do we think of our conscience only as a feeling of guilt when our behavior or attitudes seem somehow out of line with our inner sense of moral right and wrong? What if we imagine the conscience as something much deeper and more powerful? An active process that allows access to our natural finer values — sometimes called the ‘better angels of our nature’?

An international gathering of Portals friends join Aviv Shahar in this conversation to explore the nature and function of conscience. As we discover, unraveling the mystery and meaning of the conscience also takes us deeper into the nature of the soul and its mission to guide and uplift our earthly journey.

(This conversation is part two of a special event that also focused on the “Portals Into the Soul” series; part one is included below.)

In Portals Into The Soul – Chapter 2, conscience is described as a self-arising moral presence — part of the soul’s awakened power and purpose. We’re invited to hear, sense and feel the multiple dimensions of the conscience, rather than only consider definitions and notions in our head.

Among their insights and sentiments:

• Conscience is a form of guidance that we experience as a self-aligning angelic presence within — an actuality we feel as an impulse that evaluates, regulates, nudges and directs.
• When we attune to the ‘permanent-line’ values of the universe, we sense the universe is a learning system, and learns best through our conscious witnessing experience.
• We can transcend personal development work to consider soul work for humanity, where we metabolize, disarm and recast the collective memory, a form of ‘world work’.
• We can engage with the conscience esoterically as a function — a cosmic, planetary process — that brings us to know the elemental building blocks of life.

“The soul carries a throughout remembrance of the purpose you came to this life with, including the unique and particular qualities and capacities, configuration, the gifts, the genius that you are wired to manifest, regardless as to whether you're fully aware of that or not. That calling, that memory, that you came into this life with, that you are here to serve in a particular way, is the conscience of that second impulse.” (Aviv)

“There is something about this universe, it is a learning system. It wants to continue to learn. Now we may be wired also in the first and the second impulse into learning for different reasons. But when we are attuned to the permanent line values of the universe, one of the dimensions we will exhibit will be that sense of the universe is a learning system. It wants to learn, and it can learn, and it learns best through our conscious witnessing experience.” (Aviv)

Conscience – A Threefold Soul Guidance

We have been taught to exteriorize knowledge and truth to such an extent we have come to a breaking point, evident in the large-scale destruction we are facing today. Yet what is the alternative? How do we begin to access a new kind of knowledge based on our innate inner human technology?

Building on earlier explorations, this episode of the Current Openings series with Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis delves into the trinitarian principle as a fundament that offers permanent value, connection and integrity. It opens up how the third principle is a core creational logic that underpins all life and why it offers a crucial inroad into the natural pursuit of truth and knowledge.

On a human level, this principle calls for moving beyond duality to a third perspective that integrates, transcends, and reconciles polarities—examining not just process and results, but connecting to a deeper, life-affirming purpose behind our actions.

Key insights include:

• The trinitarian universe and Creational Logic
• Five dimensions of the natural pursuit of truth and knowledge
• How intuition and consciousness link to the trinitarian principle
• Cause, process, and results through the trinitarian lens
• Examples of people embodying this principle
• Cause as a foundational premise The human is an electrical being and processor of energy signals that runs on five levels of energy; food, liquid, gas, light, and impressions.

“We are leading into an exploration where instead of looking at the universe as a predictable, mechanical thing, a predictable machine, it is rather a universe that is self-organizing, self-arising, self-evolving, inside of which we humans are co-arising participants. And that is the central propulsion of the search for creational logic in the esoteric quest to connect with core processes and relationships.” (Aviv)

“We are making our entry through the side door into the inquiry of the true form of this creative, divine force which we are proposing is trinitarian by nature. Because the fact that we can observe all these different expressions, and different phenomenologies, through which we see that the triangle principle is a revelation about the very nature of the universe, and creation, and God.” (Aviv)

The Trinitarian Principle - Current Openings #23

How do we acquire, assimilate and verify knowledge?

Exploring an inquiry as old as the human capacity to search for truth, which is re-enlivened in our times with the many challenges facing the human family globally, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis invite us into a journey of discovery, tracing fascinating new pathways toward integrated understanding.

They begin with the awareness that scientific inquiry has opened a world of astonishing can-do possibilities, while also training us to exteriorize knowledge, giving rise to a widening separation between the interior and exterior dimensions of life.

In response, the conversation seeks to invite a new kind of integration. It opens with the idea of conscience, then moves from exoteric to mesoteric and esoteric perspectives, exploring questions such as: What is the purpose of human life? Could the universe be purposeful? And what would it mean to shift from the knowledge of things and concepts to the knowledge of processes and relationships?

They ask: How can esoteric knowledge or Creational Logic be sourced? What can the natural world, from daffodils to bears, from orchids to our own digestive systems, teach us about the innate authentication and verification built into life itself?

Proposing that the pursuit of truth and knowledge involves natural validation and verification inherent in the structure of life, the conversation weaves an exciting range of inquiries, offering a space where science, spirituality, and philosophy can come together to co-create a greater whole that liberates and nurtures the flourishing of life.

Additional insights explored include:

• In the ancient world, science, spirituality, and philosophy formed an integrated whole in the search for truth and knowledge.
• While the scientific project enabled extraordinary achievements in the modern world, it also contributed to the fragmentation of these three streams and the widening divide between interior and exterior knowledge.
• The significance of this moment in human evolution, as we step into the unknown—and how to validate the cathedral of inquiry now opening before us.
• What does it mean to live a purposeful life inside a purposeful universe, and how does such a stance offer an esoteric invitation into a pathway of discovery?
• How close observation of the natural worlds and life – from the relationship of the mama bear to her cubs, to the intricate workings of our own digestive systems -- demonstrates that authentication is accomplished through integrated, multi-pathway validation.
• How the global challenges facing humanity demand a broader, more inclusive way of validating truth and knowledge.

This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. Information about upcoming special events can be found on the Events page. Also visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

“So we are proposing here that the pursuit of truth and knowledge involve the natural validation and verification inherent in life. That's basically the surge here to reintegrate life, in its fuller sense, to the inquiry of knowledge and truth. And, in the bigger scheme of things, it recognizes that it is about bringing together science, spirituality and philosophy to sustain their distinctions while creating a greater whole that liberates and nurtures the flourishing of life.” (Aviv)

“If it's a completely random universe, why does it need to do anything? Why doesn't it just stay in bed? Why does it need to develop life forms? What's the urge by which life wants to develop, and evolve, and move forward? Where does that urge come from? Because it clearly exists, because the evidence of it is right there. So there's an urge underlying all of organic life to, in some way, be functional and be moving forward and developing. So what is that urge? Where does it come from? And how come it's there?” (David)
