At Portals we seek to offer great content to inquiring minds, and we also want to nourish and grow a thriving community by creating an ecology of practice for engagement and exchange. Your membership supports that potential.
Throughout history, the great questions have been asked, and great research has been undertaken, always expanding the territory of the known by shining a light into the unknown. Where is that cutting edge today? And can a community of people from all over the world, each carrying their own unique journey of discovery, come together to inquire at the edge of purposeful evolution, through dialogue and interaction? We think it is possible, and we hope that you will choose to be a part of this exploration.
Continuing to grow with expanding awareness in a self-authored life can get a bit tricky, if we’re not careful, as we get older, into our 50s and 60s – a time of accelerating possibilities and the risk of getting stuck in our own history. Our accomplishments and progress can have their own momentum, formed by habits and old patterns that may no longer support an evolving life of intention and purpose. Our past can become a self-created ghost, here meaning an internal operating system with a set of priorities and habits that takes on a life of its own.
This series of conversations explores the attitudes, perceptions, behaviors and strategies that will enable us to not just continue, but accelerate growth and development in a life journey of continually unfolding possibility.
It's the sense that the journey continues. You appreciate where you are at the moment, and look forward to developing more of yourself, or becoming more of who you want to be. I have this tremendous sense of gratitude because I am where I am, and I am who I am, and yet there's more. There's always more that I can become.

I started exploring religion and developing my search for truth and meaning during my teen years when I first attended Catholic Mass. My inquiries have since taken two pivotal turns: when a former colleague introduced me to the Unity movement and when I discovered the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the precepts of Buddhism.
