Gary Zukav shares a powerful second teaching in the Commitment Guidelines: the practice of turning inward - consistently and without exception - when emotional pain arises. Instead of looking to the outside world for causes or solutions, he shows that authentic power begins with recognizing that every emotional experience originates within. He invites listeners to explore this shift in awareness as a foundation for living with the new consciousness.


Gary deepens the conversation by revealing how this inward focus transforms the way multisensory humans relate to emotions such as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, impatience, and overwhelm. Rather than reacting, judging, or trying to change the world, he encourages listeners to experience emotions as inner dynamics that are activated—not created - by external events. This reframing opens the doorway to responsible choice, deeper self‑knowledge, and alignment with the soul.


He brings the heart of this guideline into clear, practical terms: When you focus on what you can learn about yourself - especially from your reactions - you create authentic power. You begin to act from love instead of fear, and you step into the real transformation your soul intended for this lifetime.

Embrace the Soul Step Challenge

Take out your notebook and write down each moment this week when you remember the guideline: Focus on what I can learn about myself all the time - especially from my reactions. Note the moments you forgot, too. Not as judgment, but as clarity. Use these reflections to grow your ability to recognize when you are acting from fear and to choose, instead, a loving part of your personality. This is how authentic power is created - one choice at a time.
