Portals of PerceptionAuthor: Aviv Shahar, Peter Barry
Portals of Perception endeavors to create conversations at the frontier of discovery, and to bring to life the natural processes of human development. Each of us, by design, can become a living agency for the evolutionary process, as it arises, through our living expression, and can become an intentional participant in the emergence of a wiser future. Join our hosts Aviv Shahar and Peter Barry every week for conversations on a wide variety of topics including human purpose, personal development, evolution and the future, community of conversation and discovery, and more.

117 - Decoding the Current of the Epoch - Universalis #14
Episode 117
Friday, 2 January, 2026
If an incoming wave of universal change is influencing human behavior and global culture, as many have said, how do we see it? Where is it appearing? Can we really decode the flow and patterns of evolution as they emerge almost real-time in many of the core domains of human life and endeavor?In the newest chapter of the The Universalis Project, Aviv Shahar and Portals friends Karen Heney and Kyriaki Nikandrou explore possible evidence of an unfolding new epoch in the breakthroughs and revelations that are transforming many areas of the modern world.As they discover, creating space for something new, even the flow of emerging new universal possibility, happens when a person or circumstance come to the edge of their experience and knowledge, and resist the pull of history and prevailing available wisdom. They push through.The breakthroughs that can transform humanity occur in many fields of life and expression, often driven by a compelling need for change. These transformations happen in science, technology, health and healing, leadership, and organizational dynamics. Resisting, transcending and going beyond the past are at the heart of attuning ourselves to the living flow of evolution and the future.Among the many insights and points of inspiration in the Universalis conversation:Pushing the envelope: Great scientists and inventors don’t evolve in a void; they push the envelope of discovery on behalf of a universe that seeks to become more intelligent and conscious through its human partners.Natural leadership: Indigo and Violet impulses support a transition from rigid, mechanical systems to organic, emergent ways that attune to natural rhythms of life, such as in distributed and feminine leadership.Beyond royalty: There is a bigger idea in how human beings can manage themselves, other than the genealogy of a royal line — processes and protocols in the Blue system that facilitate democracies.Making mistakes: Pioneers see a need and are not satisfied with the prevailing paradigm; they don't stop themselves in the search for something new, and don't mind making mistakes.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.

TWEETABLE QUOTES “We're proposing that Acropolis work is prodding and poking and exploring into and beyond the edge for new connections, for new permissions, for new communion possibilities. And that when we do so, we seek to activate the human temple, the template of human life. Because every time we expand the horizon to new permissions, we are opening the broader template of human possibility, it's like we discover that the human mansion had another room that we never stepped into.” (Aviv)“This begins again in asserting the more than human realms I'm choosing to describe here, the idea that human life is not flying solo in the universe. We are forever accompanied by the luminescent realms of possibility, and the luminescent realms of possibility, and the ascending and transcending spirals of development between other things, contain all the human endeavor throughout history and more.” (Aviv) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv’s LinkedIn Aviv’s TwitterAviv’s WebsiteThe Universalis Project #14: Decoding the Current of the Epoch
