  Your journey to Authentic Power begins here. Download your copy of the Authentic Power Guidelines today! https://seatofthesoul.com/apg-optin/ A profound shift in human consciousness is underway. In this episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary invites listeners to explore what it truly means to live a life of meaning. While the five-sensory world measures worth in achievements, possessions, and external validation, Gary shows us that meaning comes from a deeper source - the soul. Through stories, teachings, and timeless wisdom, Gary illustrates the difference between living from fear and illusion versus aligning with love and authentic power. Meaning is not found in intellect, appearances, or artificial intelligence. Instead, we experience true meaning when we recognize and use the unique gifts we were born to give. At its heart, this conversation is an invitation to remember that authentic power and true fulfillment come only when we align our personality with our soul. Meaning isn’t something we chase - it’s something we live by choosing love over fear in every moment.

• How Can I Make Amends for Past Behaviors?

  Discover a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. Start your journey to multisensory perception HERE:  https://seatofthesoul.com/mutli-five-sensory/ We all carry memories of actions we wish we had done differently. The desire to go back and “fix” the past can feel overwhelming - but is that really the path to healing? In this episode, Gary Zukav explores the true nature of making amends and why authentic forgiveness and transformation are always rooted in the present moment, not the past. Gary reveals how feelings of guilt, remorse, and the need for approval stem from a frightened part of our personality, and why seeking forgiveness from others can actually be an attempt to control how they see us. Instead, he explains that genuine healing begins with becoming aware of your intention now, in this moment. The power to make amends is not found in rewriting the past - it is a conscious choice of love, clarity, and authentic power today. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:43) – Do You Really Need to Revisit the Past?Gary responds to the question of whether apologizing for past wrongs is necessary and reframes the true meaning of amends. (01:11) – The Roots of Guilt and RemorseDiscover how guilt, shame, and the need for approval arise from frightened parts of your personality—and why acting from these energies only creates more pain. (01:56) – The Only Question That Matters: NowLearn why the key to healing is not the past, but the present: What intention are you holding in this moment? (02:45) – The Trap of Seeking ForgivenessGary explains why asking others to forgive you can be a form of manipulation—and how forgiveness must come from within. (03:25) – Forgiveness as FreedomUnderstand forgiveness as the release of a heavy burden, like putting down a suitcase full of bricks, and discover how it frees you to live with authentic power. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: This week, reflect on moments when you’ve felt the urge to “fix” the past by seeking forgiveness or approval. Pause and ask yourself: Am I trying to change someone else so I can feel better - or am I acting from love in this present moment?

• What’s Real? AI

  Are you ready to live Beyond the Five Sense?  Learn How Here:  www.seatofthesoul.com/beyondthefivesensescourse Artificial Intelligence is everywhere - from classrooms to boardrooms - and it’s changing the way humans behave. But is AI really as powerful as we think?  In this episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary explores the deeper truth: AI can analyze, replicate, and accelerate behavior, but it cannot evolve the soul. Spiritual evolution is not created from machines. It is created by the concious choices we make between love and fear. Gary unpacks the difference between external power - the drive to manipulate and control - and authentic power, which is born when our personality aligns with our soul. While AI can amplify old patterns, only human beings can create authentic power. The question is not whether AI will shape us, but how we will choose love or fear with it. True transformation isn’t about technology; it’s about you. By making conscious choices of love, patience, gratitude, and reverence for life over fear, anger, and control, you contribute to the evolution of humanity - a creation only you can make. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:00) — A New Consciousness Emerging: Why humanity is shifting from an old, five-sensory world to a new multisensory consciousness. (01:12) — AI and Human Behavior: How AI shapes behavior—making what we already do faster and more effective—but cannot touch evolution. (07:09) — Old Power vs. Authentic Power: Why external power is based in fear and control, and why creating authentic power is humanity’s necessity. (11:56) — The Soul’s Intentions: Harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life—and how aligning with these evolves the soul. (14:32) — AI and Human Evolution: Why AI is only pattern recognition, and why authentic power—not machines—drives true human growth. (17:00) — The Real Work Ahead: Why spiritual growth, not technological progress, determines whether humanity evolves or repeats old patterns. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: This week, take out your Soul Notebook and write down what resonated most with you from this episode. Reflect on how often you’ve applied that insight in your own life and notice the results it produced. Just like AI processes data, you’re “training” yourself - only your data is love, fear, and the choices you make. At the end of the week, look at the different consequences and ask yourself: Which future am I choosing?

• How To Trust: Part 2

  Learn how to connect with your intuition every day. Click here to start your journey to authentic power!: https://seatofthesoul.com/daily-intuition-practice/ Trust isn’t just about believing in people or circumstances  - it’s about recognizing that everything you experience, without exception, is here to support your spiritual growth. In this episode, Gary Zukav takes the conversation from How To Trust: Part 1 even deeper, exploring how trust works within the “Earth School” of life, where every event is a lesson and every emotion is an opportunity to choose between love and fear. Through practical wisdom, Gary explains how frightened parts of our personality are driven by fear - trying to control the outside world to feel safe, valuable, or in control. But real trust begins when you see beyond these illusions and act from a loving part of your personality, even when fear is active. This is the gateway to authentic power: living intentionally, aligned with your soul, and seeing life as a constant opportunity to grow. The essence of trust isn’t passive faith - it’s an active, daily practice of emotional awareness, responsible choice, and love. And when you live this way, you realize that no matter what happens, it’s exactly what you need for your soul’s evolution. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) – Two Worlds, One ChoiceGary describes the shift in human consciousness and how you can choose to live in gratitude, patience, and awe - or in anger, fear, and despair. (01:11) – How the Earth School WorksLearn why everything you experience is a lesson for your spiritual development and a chance to choose love over fear. (02:00) – Fear’s One IntentionDiscover how all frightened parts of your personality share the same intention: to change the external world to avoid inner pain. (03:07) – The Roller Coaster of Emotional ReactivityGary explains how highs and lows are created when we react to life’s events without awareness - and how to step off the ride. (04:10) – Recognizing Energy FrequenciesUnderstand the difference between low-frequency fear-based energies and high-frequency loving energies - and why your choice matters. (05:31) – What You Can Truly TrustGary shares the ultimate truth: everything in your life serves your soul’s growth, and your role is to align with the right intention, appropriate timing, and trust. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Reflect on a recent moment when you felt reactive or anxious. What fear-based intention was driving your response? This week, when you notice fear or judgment, pause.

• Are Current World Events the Cause of My Emotional Pain?

  Are you practicing judgment or discernment? Learn more as Gary explains the difference in this illuminating video. https://seatofthesoul.com/judgment/ In this thought-provoking episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary explores the root of emotional pain in the midst of current world events. While it’s easy to believe that the turmoil “out there” is the source of our suffering, Gary reveals that our pain actually comes from within - from a frightened part of our personality that reacts from fear. These parts create a cycle of pain and destructive choices, keeping us locked in the old consciousness. Gary offers a new way to break free: by becoming aware of our emotions and using them as a compass to distinguish between fear and love. This awareness opens the door to creating authentic power - aligning our personality with our soul - and allows us to act consciously, even when fear is active. The path forward is not about changing the world to end our pain; it’s about transforming our internal experience. By choosing to respond from a loving part of our personality, we create different, life-enhancing consequences for ourselves and contribute to a more compassionate world. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:42) — The True Source of Emotional Pain: Why world events aren’t causing your suffering—and what is (03:04) — Escaping the Wheel of Suffering: How fear-based reactions create a cycle of pain and how to break it (05:59) — Old Consciousness vs. New Consciousness: Moving from external power to authentic power (08:55) — Fear’s Painful Signature: How to recognize the physical sensations and judgmental thoughts that signal fear (11:51) — Choosing Love Consciously: Why love can only be created through intentional choice (15:14) — Becoming the Master of Your Life: How to move beyond the control of frightened parts of your personality Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: This week, carry a small notebook with you. Write down every time you act impulsively from a frightened part of your personality - moments when you react in anger, jealousy, resentment, or superiority. Also record the times you feel a frightened part active in you but choose instead to act from love - responding with patience, gratitude, or care while fear pushes you to react. At the end of the week, reflect on the different consequences each choice created. Which do you choose?
