The Gary Zukav Podcast

Exploring the New Consciousness

Soul Feast #34: Together Miniseries #4: The Beauty of the Contrast

In this Soul Feast Gary continues the Together miniseries by inviting listeners to explore a crucial threshold in human evolution: the stark contrast between external power and authentic power. As the old world crumbles and a new consciousness arises, Gary emphasizes that we are all being asked to choose

Will we continue down the path of fear, destruction, control, and manipulation—or step into the new world shaped by love, compassion, and alignment of the personality with the soul?

Gary unpacks the inner and outer manifestations of this contrast, from global institutions to personal interactions. He explains how external power—symbolized by money, extraction, control, and dominance—has defined human history, but is now obsolete. Through heartfelt stories and spiritual insights, Gary shows how fear fuels the pursuit of external power, while love guides us toward the creation of authentic power. The clarity of this contrast, he says, is a gift—an unmistakable opportunity to make conscious choices that support our spiritual evolution.

To move forward, Gary challenges us to look inward, not outward. He reminds us that real transformation begins behind the eyes, not in front of them

Authentic power arises when we align with the intentions of the soul: to create harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life.

 

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.

Embrace the Soul Step Challenge:

This week, take time to reflect on moments where you felt compelled to seek control, validation, or influence—whether through your words or actions, your appearance or your achievements. Ask yourself honestly: Was I acting from love or from fear? What was I hoping to gain, and what was I trying to protect? Journal what you discover. This practice is not about judgment, but awareness. With each insight, you move closer to the part of yourself that chooses love over fear—again and again.
