Download this meditation on Responsible Choice today: https://seatofthesoul.com/responsible-choice/ Humanity stands in a rare moment of profound transformation, and in this episode, Gary explores a question many are asking: Will artificial intelligence alter human evolution? Instead of approaching the topic from an intellectual or technological angle, Gary guides listeners toward the deeper truth - evolution has never been driven by tools, inventions, or external advancements. True human evolution unfolds within consciousness, and the shift now underway is not about smarter machines but about humanity becoming multisensory, aware of itself as more than a physical body and a thinking mind. As Gary explains, AI - like gunpowder, agriculture, railroads, television, or the internet - can change what we experience, but not who we are. The real transformation comes from recognizing ourselves as souls learning in the Earth School, perceiving the difference between love and fear within our own personalities, and choosing love before we speak or act. This inner capability, now emerging across billions of people, marks the beginning of a new human evolution that no machine can replicate or direct. Ultimately, the episode reveals that AI will not change human evolution because human evolution requires the heart. Only emotional awareness, authentic power, and multisensory perception can alter the trajectory of our species. Technology cannot evolve us - but each individual can, through conscious choice. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:30) — Why advances like gunpowder, railroads, telegraphs, television, and the internet changed human experience but not human evolution (02:05) — How five-sensory perception shaped human history - and why the shift to multisensory awareness is unprecedented (04:43) — Why tools, including AI, can magnify external power but cannot transform consciousness (06:10) — What the soul values (harmony, cooperation, sharing, reverence for life) and why technological speed or conquest cannot fulfill it (08:51) — What might happen when humanity gains the ability to travel to Mars with intentions rooted in fear vs. intentions rooted in love (12:37) — How new consciousness enables humans to experience non-physical reality and see life through the lens of the soul (16:31) — How choosing love over fear creates authentic power and is the real force that evolves humanity (20:00) — A practical Soul Step for tracking frightened and loving parts of your personality throughout the week Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your notebook and, throughout the coming week, write down every moment you notice a frightened part of your personality - anger, judgment, resentment, withdrawal, superiority, or the need to please. Note what triggered it and how it felt in your body. Then record each moment when you chose not to act from that fear, and instead experimented with appreciation, understanding, or compassion for the other person involved. At the end of the week, read what you’ve written and ask: What can I learn about myself from this?

Your emotions are messages from your soul.  Learn How to Tune In and Listen HERE: www.seatofthesoul.com/emotionalawarenesscourse A new consciousness is reshaping the human experience, and in this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary and Linda explore one of its most transformative expressions: spiritual partnership.They reveal how spiritual partners help one another evolve - not by soothing fear, but by bringing loving attention to the frightened parts of the personality. Through honest examples from their own relationship, they show how awareness, choice, and emotional responsibility form the foundation of this new kind of connection. Gary and Linda go deeper into what spiritual partnership demands: courage, integrity, and the willingness to fully experience painful emotions without acting on them. They share how jealousy, judgment, and fear can arise even in deeply committed relationships, and how these moments become opportunities to grow rather than reasons to separate. Their conversation illustrates how partners who speak authentically with one another create a sacred space for healing and transformation. Ultimately, the insight is simple and powerful: spiritual partnership is not about perfection - it’s about commitment to your own growth. When you choose love over fear, even in painful moments, you build authentic power and deepen your capacity to stay connected. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — What spiritual partnership truly means Gary explains how spiritual partners bring awareness to the frightened parts of the personality - without trying to soothe or avoid them.  (01:12) — The joy hidden inside painful emotions Why feeling fear, jealousy, or anger - while choosing not to act on them - is a profound experience of joy and freedom.  (03:25) — Why frightened parts resist being seen A look at why the fearful parts of the personality try to stay unconscious, and how recognizing them opens the door to authentic power.  (04:20) — How spiritual partnership exposes what’s unhealed Linda shares how entering a spiritual partnership brought back all the patterns she thought she had left behind, giving her new opportunities to speak with integrity.  (06:20) — The healing cycle that transforms relationships Linda reveals how committing not to blame or leave - but to look inward - became the most painful and joyful practice of her life.  Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, pay attention to the moments when a frightened part of your personality appears - perhaps in jealousy, irritation, fear, or defensiveness. Instead of acting, pause. Notice what you feel in your body and the thoughts that arise. Ask yourself: What part of me is speaking right now? What would love choose instead? Each time you stay present without acting from fear, you strengthen your ability to create authentic power and deepen your spiritual partnerships.

Are you ready to live Beyond the Five Sense? Learn How Here: www.seatofthesoul.com/beyondthefivesensescourse In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary explores the monumental transformation occurring within human consciousness and explains why this shift is unprecedented. He describes how the old, five-sensory consciousness is rapidly giving way to a multi-sensory awareness - one that allows individuals to perceive beyond the physical world and understand themselves as more than minds and bodies. Through clear, grounded examples, Gary helps listeners recognize evolution unfolding both around them and within themselves, especially during moments of emotional challenge, conflict, and inner discomfort. Gary goes deeper into how this unprecedented transformation reveals itself in everyday life - through social structures breaking down, heightened discord, and the collapse of systems built on external power. At the same time, he explains how emotional awareness and inner examination help individuals witness evolution internally: in their physical sensations, their thoughts, and their movement between fear and love. This inside–outside perspective helps listeners see why the discomfort of the old world dissolving is part of the birth of a new, more conscious humanity. Ultimately, Gary shows that evolution is not something to wait for - it is something each person can actively observe and participate in. The new consciousness expresses itself through emotional awareness, authentic power, and the growing recognition that love - not fear - is the true source of strength and meaning. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:12) — Why the shift from five-sensory to multisensory perception is happening at unprecedented speed (03:40) — How discord, division, and collapsing social structures are signs of evolution - not deterioration (06:45) — Why attempts to “fix” the old world with external power only create more conflict (08:12) — How emotional awareness reveals the inner landscape of evolution through physical sensation and thought (11:20) — The role of love and fear as the core dualities of Earth School (13:01) — What it means to recognize yourself as “your perceptions” and why observer and observed are inseparable (17:03) — A powerful soul step for experiencing the new consciousness directly Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your Soul Notebook and reflect on the phrase Gary offers in this episode: “I am my perceptions.” Instead of asking what it makes you think, explore what it makes you experience. Write down any sensations, shifts, doubts, openings, or insights that arise as you sit with these words. Return to the question multiple times: What did this cause me to experience? Then observe where you notice evolution taking place both inside and outside yourself. Note how these moments feel in your body and how they shape your choices toward love or fear. Let this reflection help you participate consciously in your own transformation.

Are you making choices in love or fear? Take this self-assessment today to find out: https://seatofthesoul.com/cultivating-love-optin/ A new consciousness is reshaping the human experience - one that challenges everything we thought was "real." In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary explores one of its most important skills: recognizing the difference between genuine support and unconscious projection. When a spiritual partner comments on what they believe they see in you - perhaps pointing to a frightened part of your personality - it can be a moment of clarity or a moment of misdirection. Gary reveals how offering observations to others requires deep self-awareness, and why our strongest emotional reactions often reveal more about ourselves than about anyone else. Gary goes deeper into how projection operates: the tendency to see in others what we cannot bear to see in ourselves. He shows how a sudden emotional charge - annoyance, anger, defensiveness - is the universe signaling a part of us needing healing. He shares a personal experience in which judging a friend’s spiritual shift revealed his own unrecognized rigidity. This examination of inner reactions becomes the path toward compassion, connection, and authentic power. Ultimately, the episode illuminates the truth that real support begins with self-honesty. We help others only when we’re not speaking from our own frightened parts. And we free ourselves from projection the moment we’re willing to look inward before we react outward. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — What “support” truly requiresWhy offering spiritual insight to someone else only helps when you’re aware of your own frightened parts - and how easily support turns into projection.  (01:05) — How to recognize projection in real timeThe key sign that you’re projecting: a strong emotional reaction. Gary explains why irritation, anger, or defensiveness reveal something in you asking for attention.  (03:09) — The anatomy of projectionHow unrecognized shame or pain gets pushed outward onto others, distorting how you interpret their behavior. If it triggers you, it’s in you.  (04:10) — A personal story of healing through self-honestyGary shares how judging a friend’s religious conviction exposed his own rigid, fundamentalist parts - and how seeing them dissolved his judgment and restored compassion.  (05:58) — The transformation that follows self-recognitionWhy compassion naturally replaces judgment once you identify the part of yourself that is reacting - and how this shift builds authentic power.  Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, notice the moments when someone’s comment - or even a stranger’s expression - triggers a reaction in you. Before you respond, pause. Ask yourself: What part of me is reacting? Is this support or projection? Each time you choose to look inward before looking outward, you loosen the grip of a frightened part and strengthen your ability to create authentic power.

Are you making choices in love or fear? Take this self-assessment today to find out. --> Hyperlink: https://seatofthesoul.com/cultivating-love-optin/ In this powerful episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary explores compassion as a living experience rather than a concept. He guides listeners into the inner world where fear and love shape every perception and interaction. Through clear examples, Gary shows how genuine compassion arises only when we are willing to face our own frightened parts of the personality with courage, emotional awareness, and honesty - and how this inner work opens the heart to others in a way no external practice can. Gary explains why compassion cannot be created through caretaking, sympathy, or trying to “fix” others. Instead, it emerges naturally when we recognize the pain behind another person’s fear-driven behavior by first recognizing it in ourselves. As he walks listeners through the mechanics of frightened and loving parts of the personality, Gary reveals how emotional literacy, presence, and authentic power transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. Ultimately, compassion grows as we develop the courage to feel our own emotional pain directly - without acting on it, repressing it, or projecting it outward. This is the road to authentic power, and it’s the same road that dissolves judgment, softens the heart, and allows love to lead the way. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:10) — Why compassion requires courage - and why it cannot be accessed from fear (03:00) — How emotional awareness helps you recognize fear-based parts of your personality (06:01) — The moment authentic power is created: choosing love while feeling the pull of fear (08:40) — Why emotional pain is physical pain - and how this shifts your understanding of inner work (11:35) — Recognizing fear in others: the key to seeing their pain and dissolving judgment (13:55) — Why compassion for others begins with compassion for yourself Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your Soul Notebook and record every moment you notice yourself contracting in fear -  whether through judgment, irritation, withdrawal, or the impulse to control. Note the physical sensations, the thoughts, and the reactions that arise in those moments. Then write down moments when you felt yourself soften, open, or act from love - even while fear was still present. Observe what changed inside you. At the end of the day or week, review your notes with curiosity, not judgment. Let them show you how often fear or love shaped your experience, and how your heart naturally expands when you choose compassion for yourself and others.

Your emotions are messages from your soul. Learn How to Tune In and  Listen HERE: www.seatofthesoul.com/emotionalawarenesscourse In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary Zukav and Linda Francis explore why even those with emotional awareness can still choose to act from fear. This powerful dynamic - knowing a frightened part is active yet siding with it anyway - is what they call emotional indulgence, and it’s more common than most of us like to admit. The conversation goes deeper into the spectrum from emotional ignorance to emotional indulgence. Linda describes how many people don’t recognize the physical sensations of emotions at all, while Gary explains how even spiritually aware individuals can notice a frightened part and still choose to act from it. They discuss how spiritual partnership helps us see what we can’t in the moment, and why self-honesty is the turning point between indulging fear and creating authentic power. Ultimately, this episode reminds listeners that awareness is only the first step - transformation happens when you choose differently. Recognizing a frightened part is meaningful, but consciously choosing not to act from it is where authentic power is born. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — Emotional Ignorance vs. IlliteracyWhy so many people can name emotions but still have no awareness of their physical sensations — and why that matters.  (01:11) — The Problem of Metaphor-EmotionsHow “I feel light,” or “I feel heavy” are poetic labels, not sensations — and how this blocks true emotional awareness.  (01:52) — What Emotional Indulgence Really IsWhen you know a frightened part is active, feel it in your body, understand what’s happening — and act from it anyway.  (02:35) — The Role of Spiritual PartnershipHow spiritual partners help you regain awareness when you momentarily lose it and can’t feel what’s happening in your body.  (03:07) — Choice as the Turning PointWhy emotional literacy isn’t enough — and how choosing not to indulge a frightened part creates authentic power.  Embrace the Soul Step Challenge⁠: This week, notice the moments when you’re aware of a frightened part - the tight chest, the heat, the clench - and ask yourself whether you’re choosing to indulge it or to challenge it. Pause before acting. Ask: What part of me is making this choice? Each time you choose not to act from fear, you strengthen authentic power and realign your personality with your soul.

Discover a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. Start your journey to multisensory perception HERE: https://seatofthesoul.com/mutli-five-sensory/ In this illuminating episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary reveals one of the most empowering understandings of the Earth School: you don’t experience the world as it is - you experience it as you are. Your perception of every event is shaped by the part of your personality that’s active in the moment. Through vivid examples, Gary shows how the same circumstance becomes either a catastrophe or an opportunity depending entirely on whether it is held through fear or through love. In the new consciousness now emerging, the old barrier between “in here” and “out there” dissolves, allowing us to see how our inner choices shape our outer experiences. Building on this foundation, Gary demonstrates how fear distorts what we see - turning neutral events into disasters - while love reveals them accurately. Whether facing conflict, disappointment, natural disasters, or global uncertainty, your interpretation reflects the intentions within you. This episode guides listeners to recognize frightened parts of their personality, challenge them, and shift into loving parts that see life clearly, compassionately, and powerfully. The final lesson is this: you are the creator of your experiences through the choices you make. Because your choices are always in the present moment, you are never without power. The Earth School continually brings you to points of choice so you can fully develop authentic power, expand your emotional awareness, and live as the artist of your own life. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:13) — The dissolving barrier between “in here” and “out there” in the new consciousness (02:50) — How perception is shaped by fear or love, and why the same event can feel devastating or neutral depending on how it’s held (04:15) — Why fear produces distorted, inaccurate interpretations — and how love reveals what is actually happening (06:12) — How painful consequences repeat when fear remains unchallenged — and how choosing love breaks the cycle (08:02) — Authentic power: choosing love no matter what is happening inside or outside of you (11:11) — Seeing frightened parts as experiences — not identity — and shifting into loving parts of your personality (13:20) — A Soul Step practice to track moments of fear-based perception and moments of clear, loving awareness Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your Soul Notebook and write down every moment when you realize you are seeing the world through fear. Note the circumstance and the physical sensations, thoughts, and reactions that arose. Then record each moment when you clearly saw an experience as an opportunity to grow spiritually - when you perceived through love. As you read what you’ve written, ask yourself what you can learn and how you can choose differently next time. Don’t concern yourself with changing the world; focus instead on the choices you are making now. Honor every experience - pleasant or painful - as a lesson in the Earth School, and meet each one with awareness, compassion, and curiosity.

Your emotions are messages from your soul.  Learn How to Tune In and Listen HERE: www.seatofthesoul.com/emotionalawarenesscourse Every action you take, every word you speak, carries an intention - a silent energy that determines the quality of your experiences. In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary Zukav invites listeners to look beyond appearances and explore what truly drives their choices. Authentic power, he reminds us, is born not from what we do, but why we do it. Gary explains that even spiritual insights can be twisted by the frightened parts of our personalities. When our intentions stem from fear - from the need to control, impress, or be right - we misuse spiritual knowledge as a tool of manipulation. But when they come from love, our actions align with our soul’s purpose, leading to genuine connection and growth. The solution lies in conscious awareness. By pausing before speaking or acting and asking ourselves, “What is my intention?” we begin to discern whether our energy comes from love or fear. This awareness is the key to transforming our relationships and creating authentic power. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:45) — The Frightened Parts of PersonalityHow the need to control, manipulate, or impress arises — and why it always leads to suffering. (01:40) — Misusing Spiritual WisdomGary explains how spiritual language and insights can be distorted when our intentions come from fear rather than love. (02:35) — The Role of Spiritual PartnershipHow genuine spiritual partners help us see when our words or actions come from frightened parts of our personality. (03:20) — Authentic Power Can’t Be MisusedGary closes with a reminder that true spiritual growth begins with self-honesty — and that we can’t fool the universe, only ourselves. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, pause before you speak or act. Ask yourself: What is my intention? Notice whether it’s rooted in love or fear - in a desire to connect or to control. Each moment of awareness helps you build authentic power, transforming fear into love and aligning your personality with your soul.

Explore your full potential, so you can give the gifts you were born to give. Your soul has been waiting for you to take this journey! Learn More Here: www.seatofthesoul.com/soulthemescourse In this transformative episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary shares one of the most liberating truths of the Earth School: the universe doesn’t judge. What we perceive as justice or injustice, fairness or unfairness, are human projections rooted in fear. Gary invites listeners to see that every experience - pleasant or painful - is not a punishment or reward but a reflection of our own choices, designed to serve our soul’s growth. Through stories and profound insights, Gary dismantles the illusion of “right” and “wrong,” showing how judgment fuels suffering and separation. Instead of seeking justice through blame, we are called to understand karma as an impartial, non-judgmental teacher that mirrors our intentions back to us. From wealth and poverty to oppression and privilege, every circumstance is an opportunity to learn love over fear -nothing more, nothing less. Ultimately, Gary reminds us that life’s power lies in conscious choice. When we let go of judgment - toward ourselves, others, and the world - we step into authentic power, grounded in gratitude, compassion, and awe. Justice, as the universe knows it, is not moral verdict but divine balance: the continuous unfolding of learning, love, and evolution. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:13) — Why the universe doesn’t judge — and how this changes the meaning of justice (02:56) — The Earth School as a realm of non-judgmental justice and karmic learning (05:55) — How judgment is born from fear and creates painful consequences (09:02) — Understanding karma as cause and effect — not reward or punishment (12:13) — The power of conscious choice — love vs. fear as the only real options (17:47) — Letting go of “right” and “wrong” to live with gratitude, compassion, and awe (21:12) — A Soul Step reflection exercise to notice and release judgment in daily life Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your Soul Notebook and notice every time you judge - yourself, another person, or a situation. Write it down. Then write each moment when judgment disappeared and you simply saw another soul. Reflect on what those moments reveal about your frightened and loving parts. The next time judgment arises, pause, breathe, and choose love instead. Each choice to stop judging is a lesson in non-judgmental justice - the universe’s only kind.

Your emotions are messages from your soul. Learn How to Tune In and  Listen Here: www.seatofthesoul.com/emotionalawarenesscourse In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary Zukav explores what anxiety truly is - and what it isn’t. He reveals that the vague, overwhelming feeling so many call “generalized anxiety” is actually emotional illiteracy: the inability to recognize and name the physical sensations that accompany our emotions. True healing begins not with suppression or medication, but with awareness. Gary guides listeners to look inward - to the energy processing centers (the throat, chest, and solar plexus) - where emotions manifest as sensations. By identifying these feelings precisely, we dissolve the fog of fear and reclaim our power of choice. Each sensation, he explains, is a message from the soul, inviting us to move from reaction to responsibility. Healing anxiety, then, is not about eliminating discomfort but learning from it. When we name and feel our emotions rather than numbing them, we create authentic power - the ability to choose love over fear in every moment. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — Anxiety as a MessengerWhy “generalized anxiety” is too vague to heal—and how becoming emotionally literate transforms your experience. (01:13) — The Practice of Emotional LiteracyHow to turn inward and identify the specific physical sensations that reveal your emotional state. (03:48) — Naming the Pain Removes the FearHow describing sensations precisely (tightness, pressure, burning) dissolves the “boogeyman” of anxiety. (05:22) — The Myth of TranquilizersWhy medicating emotional pain only numbs it temporarily—and what it means to make a responsible, conscious choice instead. (06:03) — Choosing Authentic PowerHow recognizing your role as the source of your pain opens the path to freedom, love, and inner strength. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, notice moments when you feel anxious or unsettled. Pause and bring your attention to your throat, chest, or solar plexus. Describe what you feel - tension, heat, constriction - and stay with it. Ask yourself: What is this feeling teaching me? Each time you recognize an emotion instead of running from it, you strengthen your emotional literacy and move closer to authentic power.

Your journey to Authentic Power begins here. Download your copy of the Authentic Power Guidelines today:  https://seatofthesoul.com/apg-optin/ We’ve all heard the saying, “Be gentle with everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle.” In this deeply reflective episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary explores what this really means -  that the great battle we face isn’t with others, but within ourselves. He reveals that our inner conflicts arise when a frightened part of our personality takes control, leading us into fear, judgment, jealousy, and pain. Yet within the same personality, loving parts are also waiting to emerge - the parts that express gratitude, compassion, and awe. Gary shares how the “great battle” is not about conquering others or suppressing emotions, but about consciously choosing which part of ourselves we act from. As we learn to recognize fear-based impulses and shift our focus toward love, we begin to create authentic power - a power born from choice, awareness, and love rather than control and manipulation. The episode invites you to see life as Michelangelo saw his David: the masterpiece already exists within you. The battle is in chipping away the marble of fear that conceals it. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:12) — What the “great battle” truly is — and why it’s fought within, not against others (04:46) — The many parts of your personality: frightened vs. loving (09:15) — How acting from fear creates painful consequences in your life (12:21) — The difference between external power and authentic power (17:50) — Michelangelo’s lesson on transformation and how to “chip away” fear with love (19:45) — The path to peace: choosing love no matter what arises Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your Soul Notebook and reflect on the “great battle” within you. When have you felt anger, jealousy, or resentment -  and what loving choice was available instead? Notice the physical sensations of fear when they arise, and practice redirecting your attention to a loving part of your personality. Each time you choose love instead of fear, you carve away another layer of the marble hiding your true self.

Are you ready to live Beyond the Five Sense? Learn How Here: www.seatofthesoul.com/beyondthefivesensescourse In this episode, Gary Zukav shares that authentic power begins with emotional awareness - learning to recognize the energy of your emotions as messages from your soul. The heart, he reveals, is not just a symbol of love. It is the center of deeper understanding and a source of wisdom that goes beyond the intellect. Gary describes how most people live unaware of their emotions, stacking unacknowledged feelings like unopened letters. Yet every feeling - no matter how uncomfortable - carries valuable guidance about whether we are creating from love or fear. When we ignore these messages, we remain trapped in the old consciousness of reaction and pain. But when we bring awareness to them, we step into the new consciousness that is reshaping humanity itself. The key to spiritual evolution, Gary teaches, is choosing love over fear in every moment, with every word and every action. Emotional awareness allows us to discern our intentions, respond with clarity, and live from the heart - where compassion, wisdom, and authentic power reside. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — A New World EmergesHow humanity is shifting from five-sensory perception to multisensory awareness. (01:12) — The Limits of the IntellectWhy understanding your soul requires a higher logic that originates in the heart.

Call To Action Recording - Discover a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. Start your journey to multisensory perception HERE: https://seatofthesoul.com/mutli-five-sensory/ What if stress isn’t caused by the world around you - but by what’s happening inside you? In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary explores the true nature of stress - not as a reaction to external pressure, but as a signal from a frightened part of your personality. It’s not the deadlines, the traffic, or the conversations that create stress - it’s how we interpret them through fear. With vivid, practical examples and gentle guidance, Gary invites you to shift your focus inward. He shows how stress, when met with emotional awareness, becomes a doorway to authentic power - a chance to choose love over fear, response over reaction. Gary explains that stress is simply another name for fear - a fear that narrows your vision and distorts your perception of reality. When you’re consumed by stress, you don’t see clearly; you see through fear’s lens. But when you turn your attention inward and develop emotional awareness, you begin to recognize stress for what it truly is: physical sensations generated by fear-based parts of the self. This awareness opens the door to choice - the power to act from love rather than fear. By choosing love - trusting the universe, relaxing, doing your best, and enjoying yourself - you move beyond stress into authentic power. Each stressful moment becomes an invitation to align your personality with your soul. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:08) — What stress really is and why it’s rooted in fear, not circumstance (05:33) — How to identify the physical sensations of stress in your body (10:50) — Why avoiding or numbing emotions keeps you stuck in stress (12:27) — The moment of choice: shifting attention from fear to love (17:36) — Gary’s four keys to move beyond stress—Trust, Relax, Do Your Best, Enjoy Yourself (21:36) — How authentic power turns daily challenges into spiritual growth Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your Soul Notebook and write down Gary’s four reminders: Trust, Relax, Do Your Best, Enjoy Yourself.Reflect on the moments when you felt overwhelmed or afraid - how might those moments have changed if you had trusted life instead of resisting it? Notice where stress arises in your body, and practice choosing love instead of fear. Each conscious choice to act from love is a step toward authentic power.

Create the life you desire by choosing love over fear. Learn how HERE: https://seatofthesoul.com/love-fear/ In this episode, Gary Zukav explains why setting an intention to release anger often seems to attract more of it. He reveals that when you decide to challenge a fear-based part of your personality, the universe cooperates - not to punish you, but to help you grow. Each irritating encounter or judgmental thought becomes an opportunity to strengthen your authentic power and to choose love over fear. Gary shares that anger is not an external force but an energy that arises from a  frightened part of your personality.

The new consciousness calls us to remember who we are: immortal souls creating with the energy of love. As Gary reminds us, what’s real is not what we can weigh or measure - it’s the awareness expanding within us, awakening us to our true power and purpose.

Your emotions are messages from your soul. Learn How to Tune In and Listen Here. www.seatofthesoul.com/emotionalawarenesscourse In this episode, Gary Zukav explores one of life’s most common and painful emotions - overwhelm - and reveals how to move beyond it permanently. He explains that true freedom from overwhelm doesn’t come from fixing external problems like money, work, or relationships but from understanding where overwhelm really begins: inside yourself. Through deep emotional awareness, Gary shows that trying to control the outside world for relief is a form of external power, while lasting transformation comes only through authentic power - the conscious choice to look inward.

The practice of noticing these sensations in your body, experiencing them fully, and responding with healthier qualities like gratitude or patience is how you create authentic power. This inner mastery frees you from being controlled by fear and allows you to consciously shape your own experiences. When you choose to respond from love - rather than react from fear - you begin to dissolve the causes of your overwhelm. What was once a cycle of stress and avoidance becomes an opportunity for growth, gratitude, and conscious creation.

Create the life you desire by choosing love over fear.  Learn how HERE: https://seatofthesoul.com/love-fear/ Every action begins with an intention, but can one action carry more than one? In this episode, Gary Zukav explores the essence of intention at the deepest level, showing how all intentions can ultimately be traced back to either love or fear. Through practical examples, he illustrates how the same action - a charitable donation, for instance - can manifest entirely different outcomes depending on the intention behind it. Gary explains that while one person may act from pure love, another may act from fear-driven motives like seeking approval, recognition, or superiority. The energy of your intention determines the consequences in your life and the kinds of people you attract. Love creates harmony, trust, and connection, while fear creates painful consequences and relationships built on second agendas. Ultimately, the choice of intention is the most important creative decision you make in the Earth School. Each choice determines not only your experiences but also the community of energy and people that surrounds you. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — Two Fundamental IntentionsWhy every action and word is rooted in either love or fear. (00:51) — Love and Fear Cannot CoexistHow love and fear are mutually exclusive and why the same action cannot hold both intentions at once. (02:49) — Charity ExampleHow the same donation can create different outcomes depending on whether the intention is love or fear. (03:48) — Law of Attraction and IntentionWhy the energy behind your intention draws people and experiences of the same energy to you. (05:15) — Intention as the Creative ForceHow intention shapes karma, brings energy into matter, and determines your experiences in the Earth School. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, pause to reflect on the intentions behind your daily actions. Ask yourself: Am I acting from love, or from fear?Notice the energy you bring into even small choices, and observe how it affects not only your experience but also the people and situations that come into your life.

Download your copy of the Authentic Power Guidelines today: https://seatofthesoul.com/apg-optin/ A new human consciousness is emerging - one that challenges everything we thought was “real.” In this episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary explores the tension between the old five-sensory consciousness, rooted in control and fear, and the new multi-sensory consciousness, grounded in love, cooperation, and reverence for life. Through powerful examples - from AI and climate change to authoritarian politics - he illustrates why the question “What’s real?” has never been more urgent.

This transformation is not abstract - it is happening now, across the entire human species, and within each of us. Authentic power is born when you recognize that you are more than your body and mind. It grows as you cultivate harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life. In this episode, Gary explains why external power has become toxic, how to recognize the new consciousness rising in you, and what steps you can take to live authentically in today’s world.

In this powerful episode, Gary Zukav answers a heartfelt listener’s question: how to move forward after losing a husband to cancer, recovering from illness, and facing the loneliness of an empty home. He shares how sorrow doesn’t come from external events themselves, but from the fear-based parts of our personality that interpret them. Gary explains that painful emotions such as grief, loneliness, and despair are not life sentences but experiences of frightened parts of the personality.

By shifting our awareness toward gratitude, appreciation, and awe, even the most heartbreaking circumstances can reveal spiritual gifts and opportunities for growth. This episode invites you to explore sorrow not as an unchangeable reality, but as an opening to discover authentic power. The choice lies in which parts of your personality you nurture: the fearful or the loving parts.

Notice how this change in perspective alters not only your experience of sorrow but also the kind of energy and people you attract into your life.
