In this thought-provoking episode, Gary Zukav invites us to examine the present moment through the lens of spiritual responsibility and historical awareness. Reflecting on both personal and collective suffering - from the recent crash of an Air India flight to the atrocities of World War II - Gary draws a striking connection between the past and the choices we face today. He challenges us to recognize the recurring patterns of fear and domination and to choose instead the path of authentic power grounded in love, compassion, and soul-alignment.



Gary discusses how the emergence of a new human consciousness offers us a greater context from which to understand our experiences. Rather than seeing ourselves only as five-sensory personalities trapped by time and fear, we are encouraged to embrace our true identity as souls navigating the Earth School. With this awareness comes the responsibility to make different choices - ones that create rather than destroy.


The episode closes with a compelling call to action: it is not enough to remember the past; we must use our expanded awareness to shift the course of history now. The next episode will offer concrete suggestions. Today, Gary encourages us to begin within.


What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • (03:56) — How a tragic event in India awakened deep compassion and clarity about suffering across the globe

  • (09:48) — Why the new consciousness changes the way we see pain, purpose, and power

  • (13:50) — What it means to live as both the small “you” (personality) and the big “You” (soul) at the same time

  • (22:44) — The historical roots of fascism and fear-based leadership—and how those patterns are reappearing today

  • (28:20) — The truth behind Hitler’s rise to power and how it mirrors present-day rhetoric

  • (34:01) — Why remembering the past is essential to changing the future

    Embrace the Soul Step Challenge:

    Reflect on the state of the world today and record it in your soul notebook. What parallels do you see between current events and those of the past? What role does fear play in shaping collective decisions, and how can you choose differently? Write honestly, knowing that both loving and frightened parts of your personality may surface. Then ask yourself: What could I do to create change? What would I do if I were living from my soul?
