Throughout this Portals adventure, we have explored in many ways how to create the inner and outer space that would allow the next phase of universal and human evolution – the future – to appear. It’s time to embrace the bold proposition that evolution has moved forward, and is still doing so, and the future has arrived. Homo sapiens, welcome Homo Universalis, the whole person. The evidence of individual and collective transformation is turning up in many places around the world. Homo Universalis is not meant to be characterized by physical changes but by changed lives and communities; the liberation of remarkable new intelligence, new capabilities, the elevation of thinking and behavior, and healing at many levels. Part of the human species updating represented by Homo Universalis is that each one of us can take steps to activate the new elevation and consciousness in ourselves. This conversation takes a deeper look at some of those steps. Join Aviv Shahar and Jeff Vander Clute for Homo Universalis Activates.

1:14:31 – Closing thoughts and insights from Aviv and Jeff
“There is always a consideration in me of how do you no longer do teaching in the old way of teaching, which is the transference of knowledge, but really create an ecology and an experience where individuals and groups can come into the ecology and that experience such that the knowledge, the discovery, the insight is self-arising.” (14:50) (Aviv)
“I never completely resolve the pattern if it’s in the world, but it’s not present anymore personally; it’s present transpersonal. And so now, because I’ve done the work, life says, ‘Fantastic, here’s somebody who knows what to do so let’s give him now a dump truck full from the USA’s energy field’ as an example. So, I get to do it again for the collective but with tools and with resources. And so my sense is that this could be world work. And we could each potentially do world work.” (20:29) (Jeff)
“So, there’s a great wisdom in life when immaturity is actually an asset for rapid growth. And then with wisdom I’ve become more discerning.” (25:47) (Jeff)
“Let’s just be aware and let’s name the other fields such that the great fascination with shadow work does not become an end to itself but is rather recognized and appreciated and embraced inside a bigger context, which is this idea of human development in the evolutionary context from the homo sapiens or the sapien sapiens into the homo universalis.” (34:59) (Aviv)
“Regarding alignment practices, as I experience alignment it is about aligning with life - the flow of life, the direction and movement of life. And that’s a capacity that can be built over time - the capacity to sense in subtle ways how life is moving and then flow with life. And what I have found is life will then show me where there is shadow work, where there are opportunities to cleanse, or forgive, or release blockages, or improve my energy management. I’ll be the first one to say right now that I’m a work in progress.” (52:07) (Jeff)
“What you’re offering, through these investigations, is a clear understanding of some of the ways that we can participate. And as we participate consciously in the flow of life and the unfolding of these empowered, nonlinear solutions, they have more power because they have our power.” (1:17:58) (Jeff)
