When political chaos surrounds us and fear seems to dominate public discourse, how can we respond from a place of love? In this episode, Gary Zukav explores how both resisting political divisiveness and conforming to fear are expressions of the same underlying energy: fear itself. He offers listeners a powerful reframing of current events, emphasizing that our external world reflects our internal awareness - and that real change always begins within.


Gary explains that we are living in a historic transformation from an old consciousness rooted in external power and fear to a new consciousness based in love, soul-alignment, and authentic power. Whether we conform to the fear around us or attempt to resist the divisiveness we see, we are still often reacting from fear. The path forward lies not in ignoring or fighting fear, but in consciously choosing to act from a loving part of your personality instead - by recognizing the frightened parts of our personality and shifting toward emotional awareness and responsible choice.


Creating authentic power doesn't require the external world to become peaceful first - it begins by choosing love even when fear is present. When we cease blaming the external world and instead begin to examine our internal reactions, we gain the capacity to respond with compassion, clarity, and courage. The choice is always ours to make.

    Embrace the Soul Step Challenge:

    This week, carry a small notebook with you. Each time you have a reaction to political divisiveness - whether it's anger, fear, frustration, or judgment - write it down. Note the frightened parts of your personality that arise, even if you only fear the idea of conforming to fear. At the end of the week, reflect on what you’ve written. Recognize that you are the one who experienced these reactions - and you are the one with the power to choose differently. This is where authentic power is born: not from changing the world, but from choosing love in each moment.
