WHERE DOES THE FUTURE  COME FROM?

DOES EVOLUTION JUST HAPPEN, OR ARE WE CO-CREATORS IN ITS UNFOLDING?

Sacred Revolutions: The Unfinished Axial Promise - Universalis #21

One of the greatest mysteries of all time is the God-human, human-God relationship. Throughout history that relationship has had several key patterns.

The main story popularized through many religions, is that God created us humans, and that we are evolving to come closer to the image of God. An alternative story propagates that humanity created the concept of God, which we continue to evolve, whereby we refine our consciousness. There are several other stories in between.

Our attempt here is to include and integrate all these paradigms through the life verification system of knowledge. Through these lenses, this current epoch can be seen as a profound initiatory program, one that we humans get to participate in. As we help emancipate the Human Project, we get to liberate the evolution of life.

A Threshold Moment: Looking Toward 2026

As we approach the turning of the year, we want to begin with gratitude. To the widening network gathering around this work, thank you. Your presence, curiosity, and support truly matter to us. 

This year has carried Portals into new vistas of discovery. Five years ago, we began with a simple commitment: to follow the evolving trail and to let the project itself shape and guide us. 

From the start, we resisted the urge to reduce Portals to a fixed mission statement. Instead, we allowed it to lead us through the unconscious and through lived inquiry into purpose, human evolution, and development, unfolding its intelligence through an emergent logic arising in real time. Listen to Aviv Shahar and Peter Barry share their thoughts on what's ahead.

The Universalis Project #16 – Is a New Human Model Emerging?

In Universalis Project #16 - “Is a New Human Model Emerging,” Aviv ShaharKaren Heney, and Kyriaki Nikandrou engage deeply with the question of what it means to cultivate an evolving human model. Their conversation highlights the transformative potentials emerging amid the current crisis of traditional belief systems and existing modes of knowledge.

Consider these fundamental questions: How do we know what we know? What modern biases and persuasions diminish and restrict our inner capacities? What happens when a life is denied access to its innate brilliance? And, importantly, can groups of individuals consciously accelerate evolutionary change?
