The Homo Universalis Project

How are humans evolving at this time? What development and evolutionary processes are underway? How might the complex and unpredictable nature of the meta-crisis be a birthing crucible for new permissions and developments, urging us to make yet another evolutionary leap towards becoming a more universal human?

In this series with Aviv Shahar, Karen Heney and Kyriaki Nikandrou, we allow ourselves to imagine and explore the capacities, character traits, and new sense organs we can develop to update our operating system. We introduce you to the 1000 faces of Homo Universalis, with the hope that you may recognize and appreciate the potential and the promise of some of them inside you.

The Universalis Project – Evolving Together

In this update we first reflect on the journey we’ve been on, and then describe some of the exciting frontiers in development, including two new series of conversations

The Homo Universalis Project #1 – The Origin Story

As a wave of new evolutionary energy continues to surge with ever-greater intensity across the planet, there is also a greater urge to explore more deeply what this emerging future

The Homo Universalis Project #2 – The Epoch Conundrum

Let’s imagine we fully embrace the perception that a big leap in evolution is now liberating the human species into a fuller universal possibility — homo universalis. Are we including ourselves,

The Homo Universalis Project #3 – The Art of Inquiry

One of the most powerful tools we have in our growth and development is something we probably use every day and never really appreciate its potential to change our lives.

The Homo Universalis Project #4 – Space-Making and Loom Work Application

We’ve explored on Portals the new awareness and capacities being brought online with the activation of Homo Universalis, the universal human, part of the new evolutionary energy

The Homo Universalis Project #5 – The Evolution of Knowledge

Most of us probably think we “know” a lot. We’re immersed in information coming at us continually through more digital, physical and sensory channels

The Evolution of Knowledge – an excerpt

The Homo Universalis Project #6 - A Seven-Fold Evolutionary Process

We see it often, and usually are moved or inspired by the beauty and dimensions of this simple, seemingly magical act of nature. Yet do we ever consider that the spectrum of light

The Homo Universalis Project #7 – The Epoch Story

What if we were to look at human history with new eyes and maybe a radically different outlook; not as events and cultures frozen in time, but as part of the purposeful flow of evolution that is ongoing and accelerating;

The Homo Universalis Project # 8 – Partnering With The Universe

Do you ever wonder why some business or life partnerships flourish and endure the test of time, while others wither away and fade out prematurely? What are the key elements of breakthrough partnering?.

Partnering with the Universe – A Universalis Project Update

Our long and revealing journey of discovery with homo universalis, the universal human, has taken us to what feels like a new beginning, but now as partners; a partnership that will transform both of us in the ongoing adventure of an unfolding new epoch and new future.

The Homo Universalis Project # 9 - Deepening In Evolutionary Mysteries

If we’re already diving deep into the core mysteries of the human experience — such as how to partner with a new wave of evolution and engage with the universe — how do we push even further on the edge of discovery? Can we go even deeper into the mysteries? What’s the real benefit?.

The Homo Universalis Project # 10 - Why The World Is Breaking Down

Even if we’re familiar with the themes of evolutionary change and upgrade that run through Portals, what’s happening in the world today seems startling: the operating system that enables modern life as we know it appears to be crashing.

This Epochal Moment

Mighty, seemingly unbreakable civilizations rose and fell. Historians of all times and futurists try to trace the signs of decline and predict the end of an era. Can we predict the collapse of a civilization, just as Cassandra predicted the end of the Trojans and the Greek historian Polybius foresaw the demise of the Roman Empire some 600 years before it fell? Can we see the warning lights when as a society we are running at an ever-increasing speed towards a cliff? Can we choose to avert civilizational collapse by redirecting and engendering a deep renewal?

The Homo Universalis Project #11 – The Two Struggles

As we find our way each day through the often intense and personal struggles facing us and humanity, imagine that we can build our strength and resilience by exercising the right muscles; not just physical, but our emotional, mental and spiritual “muscles.”
