The Gary Zukav Deepcast

• 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.

• 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.

• How Can I Judge in Jury Duty?

  Are you ready to live Beyond the Five Sense?  Learn How Here: www.seatofthesoul.com/beyondthefivesensescourse An unprecedented new consciousness is transforming the human species, and even everyday experiences can open the door to greater awareness. In this episode, Gary Zukav takes a common situation - being called for jury duty - and explores the deeper spiritual question it raises: Is it my duty to judge my peers? Gary explains that it is never our responsibility to judge another person. Judgment creates painful consequences for ourselves. In jury duty, however, you are not asked to judge a person - you are asked to evaluate their actions against a specific standard: the law. The larger lesson is to separate the person from the action, responding to harmful behaviors without condemning the individual. Ultimately, the path of authentic power means experiencing life’s painful moments with courage, while choosing love over fear. This shift allows us to engage responsibly in the world without stepping into judgment or creating new painful karma. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:22) – Jury Duty and JudgmentWhy serving on a jury is about judging actions, not people. (01:42) – Separating Person from ActionHow Gandhi’s ahimsa shows the power of responding to harmful actions without condemning individuals. (02:30) – Preventing Harm Without JudgmentWhy it’s appropriate to stop abuse, but harmful to judge the abuser or the abused. (03:10) – The Bigger PerspectiveHow unseen circumstances—or even lifetimes—shape interactions, reminding us we never know the full picture. (04:10) – Choosing Love Over FearWhat it means to experience pain deeply, yet still choose love instead of fear. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, reflect on times when you have judged another person instead of discerning their actions. Ask yourself: How could I separate the action from the individual? Where can I intervene with love and clarity, without condemnation? Pause, breathe, and notice how shifting from judgment to compassion changes your experience.
