In this powerful continuation of the Together miniseries, Gary Zukav invites listeners deeper into the journey inward - this time into the heart-opening terrain of love. After exploring fear and pain in the previous episode, Gary now turns toward the uplifting emotional experiences that arise when we begin to live from the soul: gratitude, contentment, patience, appreciation, and awe. These inner states are not fleeting or circumstantial. They are signals of authentic power - and the essence of what it means to live a multisensory life.
Gary shares how these soul-aligned emotions come not from changing the external world, but from turning inward and recognizing the internal dynamics shaping our experiences. He emphasizes that we are not just bodies or personalities - we are powerful, creative souls in the Earth school. And through the metaphor of the “hero’s journey,” he reveals that each of us is called to face our inner dragons and awaken to love not as an emotion, but as the greatest force of transformation.
Authentic power is love - and the inward journey is how we discover it. As Gary explains, when we stop seeking validation through external power and start cultivating the deeper awareness of our soul, we no longer just survive - we evolve.
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, Gary invites you to reflect on your experiences of love - not as romance or pleasure, but as gratitude, appreciation, contentment, and awe. Take out a notebook and write down every memory you can recall where you felt these emotions deeply. Then, at the end of the week, read what you wrote. See if the writing reveals something new to you - something more observant, more meaningful, perhaps even more soul-led than you realized. This practice is not about remembering - it’s about awakening.
Your emotions are messages from your soul. Learn How to Tune In and Listen Here.
