068 - Introducing Portals Into the Soul

Portals of Perception

Portals Into the Soul invites us to realize the soul wants us to be fulfilled — to live a life as closely aligned as possible to the greater connections, intelligence and qualities that are the human’s universal birthright.

Through a contemplative inquiry process, we can open a living conversation with the soul and its many facets and capabilities. It’s letting the unconscious lead the way as we build a bridge to a bridge (the soul itself.)

Other dimensions of engaging with the soul are explored in The Ghost and the Inner Conclave.

Aviv Shahar and several members of the Portals team get together in this conversation to offer their reflections and experience of the Portals Into the Soul Preamble and the first chapter, which will be published here next month.

Among their appreciations:

• Discovering the soul’s nature and mission involves trust — in our instincts and self-leadership, and in the knowledge the soul is part of the fuller truth of being human.
• Portals Into the Soul is an inquiry quest, not the shortest path or something like packaged convenience food. We’re unlocking a connective human capacity.
• It is courting the intelligence of the soul; creating a conductive ecology where the soul can transfer new knowledge and revelation.
• What happens when trauma or other real-life experiences cause our attunement with the soul to feel marginalized, reduced or compressed? How does the soul react?
• Science can’t accept the idea of emergence; it wants to define and name things, down to the molecule. “Emergence” means we don’t know what’s really going on, which is of course the case.

If you’d like to participate more actively with like-minded people to decode and metabolize this new revelatory work as it emerges, we can facilitate soul-inquiry pods and discussions coming together. Let us know here if you are interested to join a pod and we will connect you with others

TWEETABLE QUOTES

“I think that for a lot of people, especially in the West, if you were raised in any kind of a religion, I had a very religious upbringing. You always heard about the soul. But it was this sort of mysterious point of theology, we have this immortal soul, it was never more than that never went beyond that other than it's something that is there.” (Patrick)

“You're just knowingly or unknowingly plugging into the very thing I'm working on right now. And I don't want to talk about it too much because it's still in a forming phase. But I will say that there is a whole conversation we ought to come back to in the future to do around emergence. It's a word that traditional scientists hate.” (Aviv)

“I want to say how exciting this prospect is, and how important it is to emphasize on the value of shedding light into these territories of the soul, without having to go to Tibet or to India and meet a yogi or do 30 years of psychoanalysis to solve an issue. And I think the element of all of us co-creating this content and discovering it in a playful way and with a lot of practices that are accessible.” (Kyriaki )

“I always wondered, what is the soul? Where does it come from? Where does it go? Do we live inside it, or does it live inside us? And, if it has a voice, how to listen to this voice and how to connect with this voice? If we are disconnected from our soul, how does that impact our well being, our health, our fulfillment? So I think all these questions about the soul are very important questions.” (Kyriaki)

“If we think of ourselves as spiritual beings first, rather than planetary beings, the idea that the soul is this kind of local guide for us. And in so many of the Portals conversations about human development, human possibility, we see that the natural laws and the physical systems are all supporting us. They have a mission, whether we understand what that mission is or not, in helping us fulfill our lives. So I think the soul is a critical piece of that.” (Peter)
