In this episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary explores what it truly means to create authentic power. He explains how authentic power emerges from love - gratitude, patience, appreciation, and awe - while external power, rooted in fear, belongs to the old consciousness. Through vivid stories and reflections, Gary reveals how to recognize when fear is active and how to make the quantum leap into love.
Fear and love cannot coexist. When fear controls your choices, you experience pain, judgment, and power struggles. When love guides your actions, you experience harmony, joy, and connection with your soul. Authentic power is not about domination or control - it is about aligning your personality with your soul, moment by moment.
The solution is both simple and challenging: notice when fear is present in your body and mind, then choose to act from love instead. Over time, frightened parts of your personality lose control, and loving parts become your new way of being. This is the practice of authentic power - and it transforms everything.
