Every action you take, every word you speak, carries an intention - a silent energy that determines the quality of your experiences. In this episode of The Gary Zukav Deepcast, Gary Zukav invites listeners to look beyond appearances and explore what truly drives their choices. Authentic power, he reminds us, is born not from what we do, but why we do it.


Gary explains that even spiritual insights can be twisted by the frightened parts of our personalities. When our intentions stem from fear - from the need to control, impress, or be right - we misuse spiritual knowledge as a tool of manipulation. But when they come from love, our actions align with our soul’s purpose, leading to genuine connection and growth.


The solution lies in conscious awareness. By pausing before speaking or acting and asking ourselves, “What is my intention?” we begin to discern whether our energy comes from love or fear. This awareness is the key to transforming our relationships and creating authentic power.


What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • (00:45) — The Frightened Parts of PersonalityHow the need to control, manipulate, or impress arises — and why it always leads to suffering.

  • (01:40) — Misusing Spiritual WisdomGary explains how spiritual language and insights can be distorted when our intentions come from fear rather than love.

  • (02:35) — The Role of Spiritual PartnershipHow genuine spiritual partners help us see when our words or actions come from frightened parts of our personality.

  • (03:20) — Authentic Power Can’t Be MisusedGary closes with a reminder that true spiritual growth begins with self-honesty — and that we can’t fool the universe, only ourselves.
