The Verification System of Life – The Universalis Project #19

Aviv Shahar with Karen Heney and Kyriaki Nikandrou

How do we know what we know? How do we validate that our sources of our knowing are reliable?

One practical test asks: Do the practices drawn from this knowledge foster sustained well‑being, or do they diminish it? Can the study of natural laws liberate us into a more potent agency for life? For example, how might the Trinitarian principle help us see the core patterns of existence and the way the universe works?

These questions gain new urgency as the human search for truth becomes a universal impulse — a spiritual drive to join the co-creative act of the universe in its search to discover itself, to authenticate itself through the witnessing of our lived experience.

In Universalis #19, Aviv Shahar, Karen Heney, and Kyriaki Nikandrou deepen the inquiry begun in Universalis #18: How Do We Know What is True and Real?,” where they explored seven modes of knowing and the nuances of third‑, fourth‑, and fifth‑person perspectives.

Their new conversation reframes the verification challenge as a larger quest: uniting science, spirituality, and philosophy while honoring their distinctions, and cultivating life’s natural validation. Five key elements surface in this search for an integrated system — among them the study of natural laws (Creational Logic). Aviv offers an original view of the Threefold Trinitarian principle, illustrating the “law of three” through multiple examples that reveal its esoteric mechanics and phenomenology. He also outlines 16 dimensions in which a whole‑person living inquiry can yield tangible benefits — greater well‑being, vitality, creativity, resilience, self‑agency, and more.

Studying natural laws and the universe’s workings is meant to liberate us, tethering us to the natural unfolding process of life, so that life itself verifies its truth through us.

Additional insights include:

  • You may be holding a permanent line inquiry for years, to the point where it works in you even when you’re not thinking about it. Because it is potently coded in your unconscious, it continues to work for you and offers its yield on its time.
  • When we converse with another person or a group of friends, a whole new world comes alive that we wouldn’t be able to access alone. We form a collective intelligence web, each holding a node on which higher knowledge can land.
  • Working solely for results differs profoundly from working in the service of a larger cause and allowing results to flow from that orientation.
  • “The esoteric life isn’t about perfection; it’s about stepping into the arena of experimentation and learning. The times I fell on my face and learned to rise again offered vital moments of verification.”

This conversation is part of the continuing 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.

What we know as children is different from what we know in our elder years. Why? Because life happens in between that completely changes our perspective, the depth of our wisdom and experience, our value of things. As humanity we are also growing up, and there are different levels of knowledge we can now access, if we don’t get arrested and attached or identify ourselves with what we previously knew.

From an early age there has been a compelling search for truths, those realities that didn’t have a fixing or a closed door. The quest for meaning, sometimes quiet, other times reaching and finding pathways, has always accompanied me. The awareness that all life is caused to exist for an inherent purpose, one that allows for the possibility of furtherance and refinement, has prompted both perceptions and questions. These concern the purpose of human life, its integration within greater domains and what I personally may need to discover in order to play my part. Creativity has always been integral, with an endeavour to create visual interpretations of concepts as practical activities. The intention behind a current project is to broaden the paths of relevance and meaning for others to access and explore.

When I was a child, staring at the starry night skies, I was filled with awe and wonder, about the mysteries of the Universe, Life, Time, the Human and its place in the Cosmos, trying to connect the dots that link everything with everything… Some years down the line, I still do. I am seeking to be in conversation with others in search for keys, for tools of understanding and application and for the real questions, the ones that become portals to contemplative journeys, leading to uncharted territories that feel like home. I believe we are on a trajectory of multiple and unpredictable changes; it is up to each one of us to rise to the challenge of our times. Now, more than ever before, is the time to be true to ourselves and fulfill our potential.
