In this Soul Feast Gary continues the Together Miniseries by exploring the profound transformation from external power to authentic power. As humanity collectively steps into a new consciousness, Gary discusses how aligning your personality with your soul becomes the new foundation of power.
He invites listeners to recognize that true strength lies not in control or domination, but in the experience of love, compassion, and inner wisdom.
This Soul Feast episode takes a deeper look into the outdated model of power based on manipulation and control—what Gary calls “external power”—and how it continues to shape global institutions, relationships, and individual identities. He explains why this model is not only destructive but obsolete, and how the frightened parts of our personality resist the shift toward love. Through rich metaphors and reflections, Gary challenges us to examine how our inner perceptions shape our experience of the world.
The solution, Gary emphasizes, is to cultivate authentic power—a power that comes from within, born of love rather than fear. This new consciousness asks us to embrace harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life.
As we learn to identify the parts of ourselves motivated by fear versus those motivated by love, we open the doorway to lasting transformation.
Please do not take anything that Gary or Linda share as true just because they say it. If it resonates with you, experiment with it in your life. If it doesn’t, let it go.
