Are you ready to live Beyond the Five Senses? Learn how HERE.
In this Deepcast episode, Gary Zukav closes The Illusion Series by uniting the illusions of loss, other, objective, evil, and fear. He explains that as we become multisensory, we experience ourselves as immortal souls who voluntarily incarnate into the Earth School, a domain of time, space, matter, and duality. Drawing on quantum physics and the stories of Jesus and Siddhartha, Gary shows why its deepest duality, love and trust versus fear and doubt, is an illusion within an illusion.
Inside the Earth School, fear feels real, and anger, jealousy, and resentment seem to come from the world. Gary explains that the world only activates the frightened and loving parts of our personality, and every choice between them creates consequences. The Earth School is a learning environment, so each consequence teaches us something.
Gary’s guidance is to see each temptation as a frightened part of your personality showing you what it will do unless you intervene, and to choose love. Each time you do, you raise yourself above it and bring the love that you are into the Earth School.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
(03:09) – Why the idea of an “objective” world falls apart, from Newton’s admission that he did not know what gravity is to the quantum discovery that the world depends on how we choose to look at it.
(09:02) – How love can be all that is real when we still choose between love and fear, and why in the new consciousness you see it once you believe it.
(12:49) – The Earth School as an arena where immortal souls incarnate, and why the painful parts of your life point directly to the parts of your personality that keep you from loving.
(15:51) – The two ways to learn wisdom, through fear and doubt or through love and trust, and how every intention infuses its quality of consciousness into your words and deeds.
(22:09) – Temptation as the gracious dynamic of transformation in the stories of Jesus and Siddhartha, and what it means for you to be fully divine and fully human at the same time.
(25:34) – The purpose of the Earth School: to learn love, share love, teach love, and eventually become love.
