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.
In this conversation, Aviv Shahar is joined by long-time Portals friends Nigel Geeves and Well in the newest chapter of “Evolving Together,” a Portals series exploring the creative potential activated when people come together in mutual support and purpose. This merging of minds, hearts and souls creates a new space of energy and flow that allows the mutual endeavor to access greater intelligence than any one person could have done alone.
The potency and perceptions unlocked in a purpose-driven mutuality can transform almost any dimension of people coming together: person to person, community, organizations. Families, political parties, popular culture, even social media; all can become portals of change as the human species discovers how to evolve together.
As the conversation also explores, we can expand our understanding of mutuality to include an evolving universe that needs active human engagement — our Universalis nature — to more fully release our shared future. Other conversation insights include:
- Evolving together highlights the extraordinary possibility of human space making: physical, mental, emotional. The opposite direction is when we confine each other and limit possibility.
- Evolving together is a process to create new memory systems; as we unlock new possibility or a new configuration, the universe can discover itself anew through the combination we facilitate.
- Modern social movements represent a powerful impulse of renewal. Why do some work? What does not work? Why are some affected by the pathology of the narcissism of small differences?
- The universe loves economy, in every experience. Why destroy everything the universe created to build a new life; what a waste. Is there a way for us to harvest the best from our experience?
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.
How about if we consider that evolving together is a process where we create new memory systems. Every time we unlock new possibility or embrace a new configuration, the universe at large discovers itself anew through the combination we facilitate. We win when we experience and metabolize a moment like this; we create a new memory in ourselves and the universe.
Nigel Geeves
I’ve always been driven to look beneath the surface, to question how things work. This led me to be a scientist in my early years. I loved how, by observation and reflection, I could come to understand the underlying laws and see the simplicity that gives rise to life’s multiplicity of expression.
I came to know that whilst we cannot see life directly, that there was a stable platform of natural order through which all life expresses itself. Further, I realized that we humans are not completely bound by the network of established law. What is the meaning and significance of finding oneself to be human with faculties of consciousness and choice? We humans are each unique, but how can we embrace the power of difference in harmonic pursuit of becoming fit for purpose?
Well
Grew up on a small island, close to nature and moved by the elemental power of the tides. Creativity and science were both influential, leading to a love of writing and a study of physics - the beginning of a dance between the realms of order and freedom.
Five years of independent travel expanded horizons. Connection to the purposes of life was awakened and a knowing that an elevating epoch change was coming. Growth began into the process of sharing and integration that allows everything to work together.
Moved by what the Human is and can become. Grateful for the guided journey made with companions into these realms.
Currently contributing to the growth of webs of perception, intelligence and consciousness; connective-conductivity mutuality; and the mission of evolution.
