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.
This partnership with the cosmos actually begins inside of us, with ourselves. We are becoming more intentional partners with the many inner lives of connections, capacities and expansive intelligence natural to every human. We know from previous Universalis conversations that new sense organs and deeper awareness of our universal nature also are firing and coming online.
Imagining a connected exchange with the universe as a partnership makes it easier to also think about our inner partners as an integrated, enhanced platform of new possibility. Which brings us to the conundrum we always face in wanting to integrate, consolidate and make our own these emerging new capacities.
How do we internally welcome newly arising intelligence and awareness in a way that promotes their ongoing liberation instead of fixing or arresting our emerging universal nature? It’s really up to us. Are we ready to embrace the responsibility (and opportunity) to be self-authoring, self-electing, and self-configuring as we integrate with our universal partners?
Many amazing ponders and mysteries to explore. Which we do in this latest Homo Universalis conversation with Aviv Shahar and Portals friends Karen Heney and Kyriaki Nikandrou.
Among their ideas and insights:
- The universalis human is a way we are imagining and contemplating human life to be the place, the theater, through which the universe liberates itself to its greater potential.
- The telescope, microscope, and the computing power of the modern world enhance our lives. What about re-integrating a human interior technology? Universalis activation needs the inner wirings and latent formations.
- It's not theoretical: how do we integrate new intelligence to close the distance from perception to embodied living and expression manifestation; to become the vessel of the core essence of the new knowledge?
- The universalis human answers an imperative of the universe for a process of renewal and regeneration. If you take it away, the universe as a living being will quickly come to an end.
- We’re liberating a new kind of multi-faceted partnering with the universe — a breakthrough collaboration enabled by shared trust, shared imperative, and shared purpose.
- Some people think the process of reasoning is going back into the head, the intellectual. But originating reasoning seeks to connect with why something is arising in the first place.

“All of us humans are now invited into an evolving ecology of a new epoch, in which we get to reconfigure ourselves. And the self-electing, self-configuring, self-authoring responsibility is actually to step up to that dialogue, that conversation, because no one else can do it for ourselves. We are all children seeking to grow and mature into that kind of relationship with the universe to become adults in that sense of self-responsibility.” (Aviv)
“The Universalis human project is to do with coming into some kind of partnering with yourself and with the universe you are emerging in. It's a new way of being, it's a new way of partnering on the inside with the universe at large, inside of which we are looking to liberate a whole new set of latent technologies within the human system, and codify those, and translate them, and build the topographical landscape such that we can liberate even more so all that becomes available for us - and that the next 1000 years is about unlocking that greater potential.” (Aviv)
