Join the Seat of the Soul monthly newsletter and receive weekly, wisdom filled, insights from Gary.
In this final episode of the Together miniseries, Gary Zukav reveals what may be the most profound spiritual realization of all: love is not only the path forward - it's the very essence of who we are. Drawing from personal reflections, history, and spiritual teachings, Gary invites us to understand why love is not just a feeling or a virtue, but the only force that can transform the world from the inside out.
This episode explores the epic divide between the old consciousness driven by fear and external power, and the emerging new consciousness rooted in multisensory perception and authentic power. Gary shares vivid metaphors, such as the coal-powered train of the old world, to show how this outdated system has run out of fuel. He explains why attempting to fight fear with more fear is futile - and why our evolution now depends on a radical shift inward.
The solution is as surprising as it is necessary: We must love even those we find most difficult to love - those rooted in brutality and fear. From Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to Jesus of Nazareth, Gary illustrates how inner transformation is the only true path to outer change. You cannot change the world without changing yourself. This is the biggest surprise.

This week, Gary invites you to reflect on the biggest surprise: the requirement to love even those who frighten, anger, or oppose you. Take out your soul notebook and ask yourself - What parts of me resist this love? What frightened parts want to retaliate instead of respond with love? Write them down. Then write about the part of you that can love in spite of fear. Let this contrast guide your evolution this week.
