Together Miniseries #2: The Death of External Power


Listen Later

In this episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary continues the Together Miniseries by exploring one of the most defining shifts of our time: the death of external power. He explains how the structures that once defined success—control, dominance, manipulation—are no longer sustainable in the new consciousness that is emerging. Humanity is in a rapid transformation, moving away from a five-sensory perception rooted in survival and toward a multi-sensory experience centered on spiritual evolution.

At the heart of this conversation is a powerful realization: the pursuit of external power, once necessary for our survival, now leads only to destruction—internally and collectively. Gary examines how this outdated mode of power is still embedded in our institutions, relationships, and fears, and why it is now incapable of guiding us forward. Through compelling metaphors and deeply reflective insights, he challenges listeners to notice how fear masquerades as control and how our collective suffering stems from this dying model.

The path forward, Gary says, lies in creating authentic power: aligning your personality with your soul. The new consciousness invites each of us to embody harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life. Transformation begins within.


Please do not take anything that Gary or Linda share as true just because they say it. If it resonates with you, experiment with it in your life. If it doesn't, let it go.

Embrace the Soul Step Challenge:

Between now and the next episode, take time to journal about the external sources of power you may still be seeking—whether through achievements, influence, appearance, or control. Ask yourself: What fear is driving this desire? How might I respond differently if I were choosing from love instead of fear? This week, challenge yourself to take one small action that reflects the intentions of your soul—harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life.
