Each human represents a portal of possibility, unto itself, and as part of something greater.
Each of us, by design, can become a living embassy for the evolutionary process as it arises, through our intentions, connections, and living expression. Portals of Perception is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization.

As you wake up in the morning, imagine that simply opening your eyes and greeting a new day is an act of power: you are affirming, perhaps unconsciously, your natural place in the great planetary cycle of day and night, sunrise and sunset. It’s one of the most basic sources of energy and vitality for life on the planet.
The many cycles we can see inside of us and all around us do not just describe how human and planetary systems function; they enable life itself, at all levels. Cycles are a building block in the universe’s brilliant operating system that brings order and structure, which in turn enable conscious life (like us) to grow and refine.
We further deepen our appreciation of the meaning and wonder of cycles throughout the universe in the latest “Current Openings” conversation between Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis in Cycles: The First Innovation of Life.

When you are deeply devoted to something, your awareness expands.

As we regather for the second part of this event, Aviv Shahar offers this reflection: “One of the ways I answer the question, ‘What is it like to be in this liminal transition from an epoch that's fading to a new epoch that's emerging?’ Well, it’s like being in a playground — after I allow myself to relax to the situation. A lot of the time I don't feel relaxed. I feel I need to be something, to do something, to meet a certain need.” Sound familiar?
We have been exploring together the shift from one epoch to another, and what that means for us as individuals and as a global community: letting go of what is no longer needed (making space), finding balance and stability while relaxing into the unknown, being open to what is newly possible and upholding in ourselves what we want to nurture into the future.
It is easy to grasp these concepts intellectually without them ever hitting “home” for us personally. Far more powerful is to engage these contemplations with our Soul, our faithful guide and companion, designed to see us through these changes. What unfolds here are experimental and experiential ways of exploring these concepts so that we can feel them — literally, in the rigidity of a coiled fist compared to an open hand — and encouraged toward our individual discovery because that is the kind of playground where we learn and discover best.
The invitation here is to dive deeper, beyond the brain, into the interiority, into the emotions/heart, into the sensory responses that are activated, or inspired, by contemplation into the questions at hand. The whole of us is the playground, under the management of our Soul, for this exploration, while connecting us to ways of engaging our full system that will serve us well in the times ahead.

The masculine and feminine are not enemies.
They are archetypal energies meant to work together, and when we understand both within ourselves, we begin to heal the conflict between men, women and the world around us.

✨Join our new adventure:
The Portals Un-Mystery School, Session 1, on Saturday, June 27th, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm EDT (3:00 -7:00 pm GMT, 6:00-10:00 pm EET) Admission is: $20.
Register today at: https://portalsofperception.org/events/the-portals-un-mystery-school/
In this first session, we will reflect on how sixteen great teachers of humanity each illuminated the core human challenge, and what empowered them to bring forward their work, their insight, and their pathways of awakening.
Together, we will ask:
- What are the new pathways of inner development and human becoming in our times?
- Can there be a deeper collective emergence, one that activates many?
If these inquiries resonate with you, and you feel called to engage in the deeper mysteries of life, bringing forward your own voice, intuition, and presence, you may want to join us.
Your host: Aviv Shahar
Aviv serves as the Portals' sherpa. He curates transformational journeys and is a storyteller of the epochal evolution culminating at this time. Aviv is the Founder of Aviv Consulting, helping leaders unleash strategic innovation, and is the author of “Create New Futures: How Leaders Produce Breakthroughs and Transform the World Through Conversation.”
