Is it really a contradiction to think of the global chaos unfolding us around as both an overdue day of reckoning, and possibly the most hopeful, optimistic time we’ve seen in this century? Can humanity still retain the capacity for renewal and rebirth in such a time of intense doubt and fear about the future?

It seems like the perfect contemplation for a group of international Portals friends who recently gathered with Aviv Shahar to share their intuitions about this moment in the onsetting new epoch. Their intention and direction are to begin imagining a path forward, a new blueprint, through the upheaval to a new possibility for resurrection and rejuvenation.

The collective intelligence reveals clarity and confidence, and the humility of realizing we swim in a great unknown among emerging patterns of new universal possibility.

Among their insights and sentiments:

• We call this an epochal moment because humanity is fast approaching a pivot point that can define future possibility, but requires an active individual and collective response.
• If humanity does not choose wisely, we can cause irreversible harm. Never has so much depended on the few of us alive today to guarantee future generations have a future.
• Just when we need it the most, the global collaboration required to solve global issues is becoming harder to find in this time of a quickening epochal transition.
• The coming decade is a critical reckoning time, as upgrade and renewal begin with each of us, and how we express the values and sentiments of the emerging universal human.

“For some of us, this is what we're here, what we bargained, what we contracted. If you believe that you come here to life with a sacred contract, then that is what you showed up here for; that is to say, with all the know-how and the spiritual and personal capacities to play at this time and be a constructive, creative contributor to the journey of humanity through these times of change.” (Aviv)

“What it practically means is that all systems, at all levels, are experiencing and will experience phase shift. We shouldn't be surprised by anything in the coming years and decades. Because the system is going through such a tectonic shift, the entire biological system, and the energetic system that accompanies and works with and through the biological system and this planet, the entire connected system, is going through a massive shift, which is why we are experiencing these changes that we are seeing.” (Aviv)

This Epochal Moment, Event Part 1: Breakdown

Do we think of our conscience only as a feeling of guilt when our behavior or attitudes seem somehow out of line with our inner sense of moral right and wrong? What if we imagine the conscience as something much deeper and more powerful? An active process that allows access to our natural finer values — sometimes called the ‘better angels of our nature’?

An international gathering of Portals friends join Aviv Shahar in this conversation to explore the nature and function of conscience. As we discover, unraveling the mystery and meaning of the conscience also takes us deeper into the nature of the soul and its mission to guide and uplift our earthly journey.

(This conversation is part two of a special event that also focused on the “Portals Into the Soul” series; part one is included below.)

In Portals Into The Soul – Chapter 2, conscience is described as a self-arising moral presence — part of the soul’s awakened power and purpose. We’re invited to hear, sense and feel the multiple dimensions of the conscience, rather than only consider definitions and notions in our head.

Among their insights and sentiments:

• Conscience is a form of guidance that we experience as a self-aligning angelic presence within — an actuality we feel as an impulse that evaluates, regulates, nudges and directs.
• When we attune to the ‘permanent-line’ values of the universe, we sense the universe is a learning system, and learns best through our conscious witnessing experience.
• We can transcend personal development work to consider soul work for humanity, where we metabolize, disarm and recast the collective memory, a form of ‘world work’.
• We can engage with the conscience esoterically as a function — a cosmic, planetary process — that brings us to know the elemental building blocks of life.

“The soul carries a throughout remembrance of the purpose you came to this life with, including the unique and particular qualities and capacities, configuration, the gifts, the genius that you are wired to manifest, regardless as to whether you're fully aware of that or not. That calling, that memory, that you came into this life with, that you are here to serve in a particular way, is the conscience of that second impulse.” (Aviv)

“There is something about this universe, it is a learning system. It wants to continue to learn. Now we may be wired also in the first and the second impulse into learning for different reasons. But when we are attuned to the permanent line values of the universe, one of the dimensions we will exhibit will be that sense of the universe is a learning system. It wants to learn, and it can learn, and it learns best through our conscious witnessing experience.” (Aviv)

Conscience – A Threefold Soul Guidance

We have been taught to exteriorize knowledge and truth to such an extent we have come to a breaking point, evident in the large-scale destruction we are facing today. Yet what is the alternative? How do we begin to access a new kind of knowledge based on our innate inner human technology?

Building on earlier explorations, this episode of the Current Openings series with Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis delves into the trinitarian principle as a fundament that offers permanent value, connection and integrity. It opens up how the third principle is a core creational logic that underpins all life and why it offers a crucial inroad into the natural pursuit of truth and knowledge.

On a human level, this principle calls for moving beyond duality to a third perspective that integrates, transcends, and reconciles polarities—examining not just process and results, but connecting to a deeper, life-affirming purpose behind our actions.

Key insights include:

• The trinitarian universe and Creational Logic
• Five dimensions of the natural pursuit of truth and knowledge
• How intuition and consciousness link to the trinitarian principle
• Cause, process, and results through the trinitarian lens
• Examples of people embodying this principle
• Cause as a foundational premise The human is an electrical being and processor of energy signals that runs on five levels of energy; food, liquid, gas, light, and impressions.

“We are leading into an exploration where instead of looking at the universe as a predictable, mechanical thing, a predictable machine, it is rather a universe that is self-organizing, self-arising, self-evolving, inside of which we humans are co-arising participants. And that is the central propulsion of the search for creational logic in the esoteric quest to connect with core processes and relationships.” (Aviv)

“We are making our entry through the side door into the inquiry of the true form of this creative, divine force which we are proposing is trinitarian by nature. Because the fact that we can observe all these different expressions, and different phenomenologies, through which we see that the triangle principle is a revelation about the very nature of the universe, and creation, and God.” (Aviv)
