In today’s minisode, Gary Zukav explores the third compassion guideline: Be present while others are speaking. While it may seem like a simple courtesy, Gary explains that this act of presence is a profound way to cultivate connection and compassion. When we are truly present, we offer the most valuable gift of all: ourselves. This requires silencing the inner chatter, letting go of judgment, and opening both our hearts and minds to the person we’re with. Gary reminds us that failing to be present stems from frightened parts of our personality, while choosing connection is an act of authentic power that can transform our relationships. Through thoughtful examples, including wisdom from Gary’s Sioux uncle and Carl Jung, this minisode invites you to reimagine every interaction as an opportunity to see the soul in another person and to deepen your own humanity. What You’ll Discover in This Minisode: (00:41): What it means to be truly present for someone. (01:32): How presence is tied to compassion and authentic power. (02:45): Why presence is the most valuable gift you can give. (04:10): Insights from Carl Jung on the importance of listening. (05:08): Viewing others as powerful, compassionate souls. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: Next time you’re speaking with someone, commit to being fully present. Resist the urge to prepare your response, judge their words, or drift into your to-do list, etc. Instead, open your heart and mind to truly connect with them as a fellow soul in the Earth school. Reflect on how this changes your interactions and deepens your connections. Are you practicing judgment or discernment? Learn more as Gary explains the difference in this illuminating video.

In today’s episode, Gary Zukav explores the transformative power of forgiveness. Often misunderstood as something you do for others, Gary reveals that forgiveness is actually about freeing yourself from the emotional weight of resentment, anger, and judgment.

Gary shares practical insights on how forgiveness aligns with the new consciousness, the creation of authentic power, and the development of a more meaningful, joyful life. With thoughtful analogies - like carrying a backpack full of rocks or wearing distorted sunglasses - Gary illustrates how holding onto resentment distorts your perception and keeps you stuck.
