  Your journey to Authentic Power begins here. 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. At the heart of this conversation is the difference between external power and authentic power. The old consciousness equates power with domination and manipulation, but the new consciousness reveals that real power is created when your personality aligns with your soul. 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. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:45) — The urgent question of “what’s real?” in a world shaped by AI, climate change, and authoritarian politics (03:19) — The emergence of a new consciousness and why old five-sensory awareness can no longer define reality (06:51) — How authentic power transcends domination and control by aligning personality with soul (10:11) — Why manipulation and fear—once humanity’s survival tools—are now toxic to our evolution (13:12) — The contrast between fundamentalism/authoritarianism and the new archetypes of harmony, cooperation, and reverence for life (19:00) — Lessons from history: how fear-driven leaders exploit old consciousness, and what the new consciousness asks instead Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: Take out your Soul Notebook and write down the parts of this episode that stirred something in you - whether resonance or rejection.

• Feeling Sorrow

  Discover a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. Start your journey to multisensory perception HERE: https://seatofthesoul.com/mutli-five-sensory/ An unprecedented transformation of human consciousness is unfolding, and every personal challenge is an invitation to explore the deeper meaning of your emotional experiences. 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. These painful dynamics, once seen clearly, can be transformed through multisensory perception - recognizing that love-based parts of our personality are also present. 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. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:22) — The Source of Emotional PainWhy sorrow doesn’t originate from external events but from a fear-based part of the personality. (01:12) — Fear vs. Love in Our PersonalityHow frightened parts create pain while loving parts create healing, patience, and gratitude. (04:39) — Finding Meaning in LossHow cancer, death, and change can be seen as gifts for spiritual development. (06:45) — Lakota Tradition of Wiping Away the TearsHow rituals of grieving and celebration reveal new ways to relate to loss. (09:31) — The Safety of DeathWhy, from a soul perspective, death is not an end but a safe passage, and how awareness of this shifts our relationship to sorrow. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, pause and reflect on times when sorrow has touched your life. Instead of seeing pain only as the product of circumstances, ask yourself: Which part of my personality is experiencing this—fearful or loving? Experiment with shifting your attention toward gratitude for what was given, rather than focusing only on what was lost. 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.

• What's Real? Authentic Power

  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 Podcast, Gary explores what it truly means to create authentic power. He explains how authentic power emerges from love - gratitude, patience, appreciation, and awe - while external power, rooted in fear, belongs to the old consciousness. Through vivid stories and reflections, Gary reveals how to recognize when fear is active and how to make the quantum leap into love. Fear and love cannot coexist. When fear controls your choices, you experience pain, judgment, and power struggles. When love guides your actions, you experience harmony, joy, and connection with your soul. Authentic power is not about domination or control - it is about aligning your personality with your soul, moment by moment. The solution is both simple and challenging: notice when fear is present in your body and mind, then choose to act from love instead. Over time, frightened parts of your personality lose control, and loving parts become your new way of being. This is the practice of authentic power - and it transforms everything. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:45) — The new consciousness: why authentic power belongs to the emerging world, and external power to the old one. (03:00) — Love vs. fear: why these two states are mutually exclusive and how they shape your relationships. (06:08) — Emotional awareness: how to recognize frightened parts of your personality through physical sensations and judgmental thoughts. (09:02) — The Michelangelo story: how authentic power is like removing fear to reveal the love already within you. (12:04) — The choice point: how to use free will to shift from fear into love in the moment. (17:48) — Becoming authentically powerful: how patience, gratitude, and awe bring your soul’s energy into the Earth School. (20:55) — The soul notebook: how to experiment with insights and discover what’s worth keeping in your life. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: This week, take out your Soul Notebook and reflect on the moments when you noticed fear—judgment, anger, or impatience—and when you chose love—gratitude, patience, or compassion. Ask yourself: What did fear cost me? What did love give me? Write down what you discover, and choose to strengthen the loving parts of your personality by practicing them in real time.

• Is Painful Karma From a Good Deed Possible?

  Learn how to connect with your intuition every day. Click here to start your journey to authentic power: https://seatofthesoul.com/daily-intuition-practice/ An unprecedented new consciousness is reshaping humanity, and with it comes a deeper understanding of karma. In this episode, Gary Zukav answers a profound question: If you act with the intention of love but accidentally cause harm, will you still create painful karma? Gary explains that karma is precise, accurate, and always aligned with the intention behind your actions. Painful karma arises not from accidents but from the fear-based energy that fuels unconscious deeds. If love is the true source of your action, then what returns to you will be constructive and beneficial, regardless of unintended consequences. The key is awareness of intention. Every word and deed carries the energy of either love or fear, and that energy shapes your experiences. When you choose love consciously, you create authentic power and a life of growth and compassion. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:22) — What Karma Really ReflectsWhy karma is less about consequences of accidents and more about the intention behind every action. (01:12) — The Role of Intention in KarmaHow the quality of consciousness—love or fear—determines what you experience. (03:09) — Everyday Examples of IntentionWhy even something as ordinary as driving reflects whether you are living with gratitude or fear. (04:00) — Karma as a Spiritual Delivery SystemHow life returns to you the same intention you send out, teaching you exactly what you need for growth. (05:34) — Becoming Conscious CreatorsWhy awareness of your intentions allows you to shape your life and create authentic power. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: This week, pause and reflect on your daily actions. Ask yourself: What intention is fueling my words and deeds right now—love or fear? Consider moments when you may have caused unintended harm. Instead of fearing painful karma, explore the consciousness behind your choices. Notice how consciously choosing love shifts the energy you send into the world, and how it transforms what you receive in return.  Let’s Connect: Gary Zukav | Website Gary Zukav | Instagram Gary Zukav | Facebook Gary Zukav | Books Gary Zukav | YouTube Gary Zukav | X (Twitter)

• What's Real? Love or Fear

  In this episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary continues his exploration of “What’s Real?” with a focus on one of life’s most fundamental questions: Are you making a conscious choice to live from love or from fear? Through stories, reflections, and practical insights, Gary reveals how learning to distinguish between the two transforms your entire perception and creates authentic power in your life. Fear often masquerades as reality through worry, jealousy, anger, or the belief that you are incomplete. Yet these are illusions - perceptions created when a frightened part of your personality is active. Love, by contrast, is the compass of the soul. It is expressed as gratitude, patience, contentment, awe, and caring. Learning to recognize whether your experiences are born of fear or love is the key to stepping into the new consciousness now unfolding on Earth. At its essence, this episode reveals that only love is real. Fear is an illusion. By choosing love over fear—moment by moment—you align your personality with your soul and begin to live from a place of authentic power. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:11) — The Illusion of AI and Projection: Why appearances like AI or jealousy in others aren’t “real,” but reflections of the personality. (05:36) — Love Is All That’s Real: Why the entire realm of fear is an illusion and love is the only compass that aligns you with your soul. (10:21) — Creating Authentic Power: How aligning your personality with your soul brings harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life. (15:15) — The Consequences of Choice: How choosing fear contracts and limits you, while choosing love expands your joy, meaning, and potential. (19:32) — A New You Is Emerging: Why the new consciousness reveals your true identity as soul, not just personality, and how this transforms your life. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: This week, take out your Soul Notebook and write down the moments in your day when you notice yourself acting from fear—whether jealousy, resentment, or worry—or from love—such as gratitude, appreciation, or awe. At the end of each day, reflect: Which choices expanded you, and which contracted you? Over time, you will begin to see how choosing love consistently transforms your awareness and your life.
