    The Authentic Power Guidelines: Series Introduction

    Your journey to Authentic Power begins here. Download your copy of the Authentic Power Guidelines today: https://seatofthesoul.com/apg-optin/ A profound evolutionary shift is reshaping humanity, and in this episode, Gary Zukav opens a new multi-part series dedicated entirely to the Authentic Power Guidelines - the clearest, most practical tools he and his spiritual partner, Linda Francis, ever created. Gary begins by describing the breathtaking speed at which a new multisensory consciousness is emerging: a leap unfolding across just three generations, compared to the hundreds of thousands of years defined by the old five-sensory perception. He explains how this new awareness expands our understanding of who we are, why we are here, and how our choices create meaning and purpose. Gary then deepens the conversation by clarifying the stark contrast between external power - the old pursuit of control and manipulation, now obsolete and destructive - and authentic power, the new evolutionary requirement. Through vivid examples, he shows how multisensory perception is opening us to non-physical reality, to the soul, and to a new way of relating to ourselves and others. He also introduces the origin story of the Authentic Power Guidelines, crafted by Linda, whose brilliance and heart shaped their simplicity and transformative impact. In just a few sentences, Gary offers the essential takeaway: Authentic power is no longer optional - it is the path forward for anyone committed to harmony, love, clarity, and meaning. This series will guide listeners step-by-step into understanding and applying these guidelines in everyday life. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — Why the Authentic Power Guidelines are essential in a rapidly changing human consciousness (01:12) — How multisensory perception transforms our understanding of who we are and why we’re here (03:42) — The breathtaking speed of the new consciousness and the limitations of the old five-sensory world (09:07) — Why external power no longer works - and now produces only violence and destruction (11:26) — How interacting “soul-to-soul” reshapes relationships and dissolves surface-level judgments (14:25) — The origin of the Authentic Power Guidelines and why Linda’s creation became their most practical tool  (17:49) — Where to find the Authentic Power Guidelines and how this series will explore them step-by-step  Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take a quiet moment with your notebook - your “crutch” for learning to walk upright in spiritual growth - and write down what you imagine the Authentic Power Guidelines might be. What steps would help a person create authentic power? How would you organize them? List any ideas that arise.

    Supporting with Love

    Are you making choices in love or fear?  Take this self-assessment today to find out: https://seatofthesoul.com/cultivating-love-optin/ A new consciousness is unfolding, and with it comes a deeper understanding of what it truly means to support another person from love. In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary shares a powerful story from his time working with a circle of students. Through this experience, he illuminates how difficult it can be for individuals to express what they genuinely feel - whether their perceptions arise from love or from fear. His reflections reveal an essential truth: real support requires honesty, presence, and the willingness to see the frightened parts of our personalities at work. As the conversation deepens, Gary explains why withholding our truth out of fear of “hurting someone’s feelings” isn’t loving - it’s a reaction of the frightened parts, which avoid discomfort and vulnerability. True spiritual partnership, he emphasizes, is rooted in speaking from love with sensitivity and appropriateness. This allows both people to discover more about themselves, strengthen compassion, and cultivate authentic power together. Ultimately, the episode invites listeners to recognize when fear holds them back from honest connection - and to choose loving support instead. Speaking from love not only heals relationships; it also expands awareness and deepens our evolution. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:45) — Why “supporting with love” requires honestyGary explains how avoiding the truth out of fear blocks authentic connection and prevents real support.  (01:30) — How frightened parts silence our true perceptionsA participant’s hesitation reveals how fear keeps us from expressing what we notice about others - and what this teaches us about ourselves.  (02:20) — The moment self-reflection becomes possibleGary shows how speaking honestly allows individuals to see their own unwillingness to feel what arises inside them.  (03:22) — The difference between loving speech and fearful speechWhy statements rooted in fear sound harsh, while words spoken from love naturally become sensitive, appropriate, and supportive.  (04:05) — How to recognize when the frightened parts are speakingGary describes the inner signals that reveal whether you're withholding the truth out of fear or choosing to support from love. Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, notice the moments when you hold back from telling the truth because you fear hurting someone’s feelings. Pause and feel what is happening inside you. Ask yourself: Which part of me is speaking - love or fear? Then gently explore what it would look like to respond from love, with sensitivity and clarity. Each time you choose loving honesty, you strengthen authentic power and deepen your capacity to support others in meaningful ways.

    How Can I Change the World from the New Consciousness?

    Are you ready to live Beyond the Five Sense?  Learn How Here: www.seatofthesoul.com/beyondthefivesensescourse A profound shift is underway in humanity, and in this episode, Gary Zukav explores the question so many people hold today: How can I change the world from the new consciousness? He begins by illuminating the difference between the old five-sensory perception - rooted in control, manipulation, and external power - and the new multisensory consciousness emerging across the human species. This new awareness recognizes that we are more than bodies and minds, and that true transformation begins with the alignment of the personality with the soul. Rather than focusing on changing the outer world, Gary guides listeners toward the deeper, internal work that actually reshapes experience and expands perception. Gary then delves into the core misunderstanding of the old consciousness: the belief that painful emotional experiences come from the outside world. From the new consciousness, we see that the world only activates inner dynamics already within us. This creates a powerful opportunity - not to fix the world, but to identify the physical sensations of our emotions, cultivate emotional literacy, and choose to act from the loving parts of our personalities instead of the frightened parts. This is what creates authentic power, and this is how the world truly changes. Ultimately, Gary shares that the only way to change the world is to change yourself. When you become more loving, more kind, and less reactive, the world you live in shifts - because in the new consciousness, “in here” and “out there” are not separate. Transformation happens from the inside out, and every loving choice expands your awareness and the role you play in the unfolding evolution of humanity. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:30) — The defining differences between the old five-sensory consciousness and the emerging multisensory consciousness (02:05) — Why external power - manipulation and control - once served human evolution but now creates only violence and destruction (05:10) — How the new consciousness shifts the focus from changing the world to transforming yourself from the inside (08:45) — Emotional literacy: how identifying physical sensations in the chest, throat, and solar plexus expands awareness (11:40) — How choosing to act from the loving parts of your personality creates authentic power (14:55) — Why fear and love form the fundamental duality of the Earth school and how recognizing this changes everything (18:20) — How dissolving the illusion of “in here” vs. “out there” reveals that changing yourself is changing the world (19:32) — A practical Soul Step for noticing where the “barrier” between inner and outer might be disappearing Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take a few quiet moments with your notebook and write about your experience of the “barrier” between your inner world and the outer world. Have you always believed they were separate? Are you beginning to sense that the boundary is thinner - or perhaps not there at all? Reflect on whether this shift signals the emergence of the new consciousness within you. Throughout the week, notice moments when you feel this connection more clearly, and let these insights guide your choices toward love.

    Will AI Change Human Evolution?

    Discover how intentional choices can transform your life. Download this meditation on Responsible Choice today: https://seatofthesoul.com/responsible-choice/ Humanity stands in a rare moment of profound transformation, and in this episode, Gary explores a question many are asking: Will artificial intelligence alter human evolution? Instead of approaching the topic from an intellectual or technological angle, Gary guides listeners toward the deeper truth - evolution has never been driven by tools, inventions, or external advancements. True human evolution unfolds within consciousness, and the shift now underway is not about smarter machines but about humanity becoming multisensory, aware of itself as more than a physical body and a thinking mind. As Gary explains, AI - like gunpowder, agriculture, railroads, television, or the internet - can change what we experience, but not who we are. The real transformation comes from recognizing ourselves as souls learning in the Earth School, perceiving the difference between love and fear within our own personalities, and choosing love before we speak or act. This inner capability, now emerging across billions of people, marks the beginning of a new human evolution that no machine can replicate or direct. Ultimately, the episode reveals that AI will not change human evolution because human evolution requires the heart. Only emotional awareness, authentic power, and multisensory perception can alter the trajectory of our species. Technology cannot evolve us - but each individual can, through conscious choice. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:30) — Why advances like gunpowder, railroads, telegraphs, television, and the internet changed human experience but not human evolution (02:05) — How five-sensory perception shaped human history - and why the shift to multisensory awareness is unprecedented (04:43) — Why tools, including AI, can magnify external power but cannot transform consciousness (06:10) — What the soul values (harmony, cooperation, sharing, reverence for life) and why technological speed or conquest cannot fulfill it (08:51) — What might happen when humanity gains the ability to travel to Mars with intentions rooted in fear vs. intentions rooted in love (12:37) — How new consciousness enables humans to experience non-physical reality and see life through the lens of the soul (16:31) — How choosing love over fear creates authentic power and is the real force that evolves humanity (20:00) — A practical Soul Step for tracking frightened and loving parts of your personality throughout the week Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your notebook and, throughout the coming week, write down every moment you notice a frightened part of your personality - anger, judgment, resentment, withdrawal, superiority, or the need to please. Note what triggered it and how it felt in your body. Then record each moment when you chose not to act from that fear, and instead experimented with appreciation, understanding, or compassion for the other person involved. At the end of the week, read what you’ve written and ask: What can I learn about myself from this? Let this practice show you where evolution is unfolding inside you - and how your choices shape the world you help create.

    Evolution of Consciousness: Where to Look for It

    Are you ready to live Beyond the Five Sense? Learn How Here: www.seatofthesoul.com/beyondthefivesensescourse In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary explores the monumental transformation occurring within human consciousness and explains why this shift is unprecedented. He describes how the old, five-sensory consciousness is rapidly giving way to a multi-sensory awareness - one that allows individuals to perceive beyond the physical world and understand themselves as more than minds and bodies. Through clear, grounded examples, Gary helps listeners recognize evolution unfolding both around them and within themselves, especially during moments of emotional challenge, conflict, and inner discomfort. Gary goes deeper into how this unprecedented transformation reveals itself in everyday life - through social structures breaking down, heightened discord, and the collapse of systems built on external power. At the same time, he explains how emotional awareness and inner examination help individuals witness evolution internally: in their physical sensations, their thoughts, and their movement between fear and love. This inside–outside perspective helps listeners see why the discomfort of the old world dissolving is part of the birth of a new, more conscious humanity. Ultimately, Gary shows that evolution is not something to wait for - it is something each person can actively observe and participate in. The new consciousness expresses itself through emotional awareness, authentic power, and the growing recognition that love - not fear - is the true source of strength and meaning. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (01:12) — Why the shift from five-sensory to multisensory perception is happening at unprecedented speed (03:40) — How discord, division, and collapsing social structures are signs of evolution - not deterioration (06:45) — Why attempts to “fix” the old world with external power only create more conflict (08:12) — How emotional awareness reveals the inner landscape of evolution through physical sensation and thought (11:20) — The role of love and fear as the core dualities of Earth School (13:01) — What it means to recognize yourself as “your perceptions” and why observer and observed are inseparable (17:03) — A powerful soul step for experiencing the new consciousness directly Embrace the Soul Step Challenge Take out your Soul Notebook and reflect on the phrase Gary offers in this episode: “I am my perceptions.” Instead of asking what it makes you think, explore what it makes you experience. Write down any sensations, shifts, doubts, openings, or insights that arise as you sit with these words. Return to the question multiple times: What did this cause me to experience? Then observe where you notice evolution taking place both inside and outside yourself. Note how these moments feel in your body and how they shape your choices toward love or fear.

    Supporting vs. Projecting

    Are you making choices in love or fear? Take this self-assessment today to find out: https://seatofthesoul.com/cultivating-love-optin/ A new consciousness is reshaping the human experience - one that challenges everything we thought was "real." In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary explores one of its most important skills: recognizing the difference between genuine support and unconscious projection. When a spiritual partner comments on what they believe they see in you - perhaps pointing to a frightened part of your personality - it can be a moment of clarity or a moment of misdirection. Gary reveals how offering observations to others requires deep self-awareness, and why our strongest emotional reactions often reveal more about ourselves than about anyone else. Gary goes deeper into how projection operates: the tendency to see in others what we cannot bear to see in ourselves. He shows how a sudden emotional charge - annoyance, anger, defensiveness - is the universe signaling a part of us needing healing. He shares a personal experience in which judging a friend’s spiritual shift revealed his own unrecognized rigidity. This examination of inner reactions becomes the path toward compassion, connection, and authentic power. Ultimately, the episode illuminates the truth that real support begins with self-honesty. We help others only when we’re not speaking from our own frightened parts. And we free ourselves from projection the moment we’re willing to look inward before we react outward. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: (00:02) — What “support” truly requiresWhy offering spiritual insight to someone else only helps when you’re aware of your own frightened parts - and how easily support turns into projection.  (01:05) — How to recognize projection in real timeThe key sign that you’re projecting: a strong emotional reaction. Gary explains why irritation, anger, or defensiveness reveal something in you asking for attention.  (03:09) — The anatomy of projectionHow unrecognized shame or pain gets pushed outward onto others, distorting how you interpret their behavior. If it triggers you, it’s in you.  (04:10) — A personal story of healing through self-honestyGary shares how judging a friend’s religious conviction exposed his own rigid, fundamentalist parts - and how seeing them dissolved his judgment and restored compassion.  (05:58) — The transformation that follows self-recognitionWhy compassion naturally replaces judgment once you identify the part of yourself that is reacting - and how this shift builds authentic power.  Embrace the Soul Step Challenge This week, notice the moments when someone’s comment - or even a stranger’s expression - triggers a reaction in you. Before you respond, pause. Ask yourself: What part of me is reacting? Is this support or projection? Each time you choose to look inward before looking outward, you loosen the grip of a frightened part and strengthen your ability to create authentic power.
