What if temptation isn’t something to fear, but a powerful guide for your soul’s evolution? From a multisensory perspective, temptation is a gift from the Universe. It is not a punishment or a trap set by an external evil, but a preview of the plans of a frightened part of your personality . It is a “dress rehearsal for a negative karmic event,” an opportunity to see what a frightened part of your personality intends to create before it becomes a painful reality.
Diving into what we label as “evil,” Gary offers a transformative lens: evil is not a presence to be fought, but an absence of Love. This episode shows you how to use your emotional awareness - by feeling the physical sensations in your energy center - to recognize the difference between fear and love. It is in the moment of temptation that you are given the ultimate choice: to react unconsciously from fear, or to consciously respond from the most loving part of your personality and create authentic power.
Ultimately, this episode reminds us that your life is the result of your choices. When you choose to respond with love instead of reacting with fear, you align your personality with the intentions of your soul and create authentic power in your life.

Embrace the Soul Step Challenge:
This week, take out your journal and notice each time a tempting thought or impulse arises. Ask yourself: What frightened part of my personality is showing me this? Then, reflect—what would my life feel like if I didn’t follow this temptation? As you write, shift your attention to a loving part of your personality and choose to act from that space. That’s the essence of creating authentic power.
