Each human represents a portal of possibility, unto itself, and as part of something greater.

Each of us, by design, can become a living embassy for the evolutionary process as it arises, through our intentions, connections, and living expression. Portals of Perception is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization.

✨We are delighted to share the release of our first Portals eBook:

The Currency of the Future — A Nascent Renaissance
A Universalis Trilogy
by Aviv Shahar and Kyriaki Nikandrou

The eBook is now available for purchase as a downloadable PDF
at link: https://portalsofperception.org/product/the-currency-of-the-future/
This work emerged as a deeper exploration of the Universalis Conversations #22, #23, and #24, distilling their core themes into 12 contemplations for the threshold times we are living through.

With so much changing simultaneously on technological, cultural, economic, and human fronts, it felt essential to pause together, observe more deeply, and reflect with care. These contemplations invite a more forensic and spacious inquiry into the deeper patterns shaping this epochal moment and the possibilities now seeking to emerge through it.

We invite you to journey with us through these 12 contemplations. They may be read quietly and inwardly, or explored in dialogue with others, allowing multiple perspectives and insights to deepen the inquiry together.

"I've always admired the opportunity to be in the presence of people who are in their domain of mastery, because I know I am watching their Soul orchestration in action. I once visited a friend in a hospital, and saw a nurse taking care of seven different rooms; she was like dancing in and out of the rooms, intuiting at every point in time, where there was a need and what she needed to do. Well, her Soul covered that department." Aviv Shahar

Listen to the recording of a special Portals event, "Our Souls are Connected - Portals Into the Soul Event, Part 3". Aviv Shahar, with the global Portals network, shared an image of birds in murmuration, where vast flocks move together as though they were a single living organism. He then asked, "How do they do this?" And what might it reveal about our own latent capacities for connective community and shared intelligence?

To enter into true collective engagement, we must expand our sensitivities beyond the five senses and into the energetic field in which we live and participate. With the support of the IHOW team (Internal Human Orchestra Work), Aviv guides participants through an experiential somatic exploration of the Soul through its three primary postures: home base, near aura field, and the greater domains of care.

"One of the blessings of the Soul, and how it works with us, is that it always wants the best for us. It always tries to encourage us to be the best version of ourselves, to achieve the greater fulfillment of our unique possibility. So I would think that would apply from us to others, to want to encourage and support others to discover their individuality and uniqueness and find ways to express it." Peter Barry

What does it mean for a human to elevate? Esoteric pursuits are often associated with ancient mystery schools that promise to teach an initiate their secret knowledge. But, of course, you can’t walk in the door and be told the meanings of life. There is a rite of passage, an apprenticeship, a service required to earn the right to access sacred knowledge. Importantly, true sacred knowledge offers energetic potency, so the rite of passage is also a process of naturalizing a person to higher energies and frequencies, so that they will be able to handle more potency without getting out of balance.

This is the esoteric journey, but we recognize the process from everyday life. If you want to be a race car driver, you don’t start in a car that goes 200 miles per hour — you learn in less powerful cars and learn to handle them, moving up as you gain skills and stability. You don’t start as a head chef; you chop 10,000 onions first.

So, how do we apply this understanding to our life? In this episode of Current Openings ( #24), Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis make a foray into codifying the mechanics of elevation, through 10 Elements, as it arises in any endeavor where we seek to grow and improve — to better ourselves and to access new knowledge. Because it is a natural process, once we understand it for one path, it can be seen in almost any undertaking.

They begin with the premise that we are first and foremost energetic beings, we are processing energies through our system non-stop. And, the ways of energies are graduated — there is a spectrum from low to high, coarse to refined, in all things. The journey is to move from the lower, entry level energy, to the higher, more complex and more intelligent energy.

And there will be challenges along the way — always! There is resistance that will test our resolve, there are setbacks. We’ll find we need to change things about ourselves to manage the next step. We’ll have to brave uncertainty, and we’ll have to find a way to trust our instincts and find ways to persist. Understanding the process offers a huge advantage toward succeeding.

Why might the universe want a mechanism such as this? Perhaps it provides the greatest safety for us — we aren’t given more than we can handle, and for the universe, where quality control ensures a reliable product. Ultimately, we want to meet the energetic requirements of the elevation we seek.

Insights into elevation:

- Resistance is a necessary part of the journey to elevation
- Persistence is needed to overcome our default patterns
- When we surrender we allow higher intelligence to work through us
- We need to rewire ourselves to meet new requirements
- Quantum leaps help us in making transformational changes
- Acclimatization: how do we stabilize connections to higher sources of energy?

"Can you hold that state, because I now want you to bring a second inner experience. Can you find a deep insight, where in the long arc of things, of life in the universe, all is well, all is perfectly fine. Can you find that inner location where you are able to access in your interiority, a tremendous sense of peace?" Aviv Shahar

Listen to the first part of the recording of a special Portals event on "The Mystery School Within - Portals Into the Soul Event, Part 1", where Aviv Shahar together with a global Portals network, turned toward the very dimensions within us that quietly sense the changing current of our times. Soul, intuition, energetic sensitivity, and the deeper faculties of perception that ancient traditions sometimes described as higher knowing.

At the heart of the mystery schools was not merely the transmission of ideas, but the activation of latent human capacities. A way of preparing the human being to perceive more deeply, participate more consciously, and enter into a living relationship with reality itself. Aviv explores this ancient and enduring inquiry as a living possibility for our own time.

"Unless we find a way to engage some of our latent capacities and the Soul and spiritual nature of our being, of our humanness, we're not likely to be able to unlock the intelligence and the capacities to confront the kind of challenges we already face, let alone in the coming decade or two." Aviv Shahar

"The sword is an effective representation of the mastery of the masculine force. It can protect or it can destroy and it is meant to be kept in constraint and kept in check in a disciplined fashion, or else it becomes destructive and dangerous. The cup, the chalice is the vessel of life, the birthing of the connective unfinished part, that can evolve and develop." Aviv Shahar

Listen to the new Current Openings conversation, “The Sacred Union Between Masculine and Feminine - Current Openings #31". In this episode, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis journey deeper into the fundamental mystery of Creation Logic: the universal principles through which life emerges, stabilizes, evolves, and renews itself.

This episode turns toward one of the great mysteries at the heart of existence: the relationship between masculine and feminine universal powers. Not merely as social identities or gender constructs, but as archetypal energetic properties that permeate organic life itself.

We explore how these forces dance as two poles of a greater creative process, designed to attract, balance, cleanse, and transform one another in service of life.

As the inquiry deepens, the conversation moves through:
- the attraction and interplay of masculine and feminine potencies
- polarity reversals and their role in human development
- octave changes and transformative thresholds
- the hidden intelligence within numbers, symbols, and sacred geometry
- architecture and ancient traditions as expressions of creational attunement
- the emergence of religions as humanity's attempt to align with deeper universal laws

"One central feature of Creational Logic is that positive and negative are designed to be attracted to one another. If masculine and feminine properties and patterns were not drawn together, the different nature of their forces would cause them to move apart rather than participate in creation. Organic life becomes possible because the complementary polarities are fashioned to seek union, generating conditions through which life can emerge, stabilize, and endure." Aviv Shahar

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?
