131 - Threefold Leadership in This Epochal Moment

Are you feeling the calling, the summons of this time? As one epoch closes and another begins, we find ourselves in a liminal space of emergence—where heightened connectivity and increasing energetic conductivity offer new human permissions and possibilities.  What inner call might we be sensing as a new civilization seeks to be born? What might this time be summoning within us as active co-creators of change?  In this Portalsepisode, Aviv Shahar, David Price Francis, and friends explore the idea that we may be witnessing a profound shift—from the age of ‘great leaders’ to the rise of self-leadership. The energetics of this new epoch appear to be awakening latent potentials within us, expanding our capacity, agency, and permission to act with purpose and vision. Aviv, David, and the team surface key ingredients of self-leadership to cultivate at this time such as self-authoring, the intentional practice of choosing who we wish to be and become; self-determination of purpose; looking within to access inner guidance; discerning what is true; self-regulation, focus and discipline; cultivating the capacity to self-evaluate and update in real time; navigating the unknown with joy, gratitude and trust. Together, they explore the three dimensions of self-leadership (1) leading in the world, (2) leading within, (3) leading through a greater purpose.  Self-leadership, expressed through this three-fold framework, may play a pivotal role in the conscious emergence of a new epoch - especially when we transcend personal ambition in service of a greater vision or mission. In doing so, we become purposeful conduits for the new civilization that seeks to be born, facilitating it to take shape through a collective agency of sovereign, responsive, self-leaders. Threefold self-leadership: Leading in the world Leading within Leading through a greater purpose This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

But largely, the case was that they were men, and they made their mark on history in the gold epoch. But we are guided by the intuition that the pivot calls us to recognize that self-leadership is the summons, the call of this time.” (Aviv) “Mostly in the world it's a subliminal process. It's happening, but people are not aware of it, except they're saying, oh, something's changed. This changed here, this changed here, this changed there, and they see it to be, we'll get back to normal soon. This myth of normal. But this is trying to go from subliminal and actually being aware that something much bigger is taking place, that there's an actual change of epoch on the move, to go from it being subliminal to conscious liminal, actually being conscious in the space in between.” (David)   RESOURCES MENTIONED   Portals of Perception Website Aviv’s LinkedIn  Aviv’s Twitter Aviv’s Website Threefold Leadership in this Epochal Moment, Part 1
