A profound transformation in human consciousness is unfolding, inviting us to see beyond the five-sensory world and into the multisensory reality of the soul. In this episode of The Gary Zukav Podcast, Gary continues his exploration of “What’s Real?”- this time focusing on connection. What does it mean to truly connect, and why is it inseparable from authentic power and spiritual growth?


Gary reveals that connection is not found in devices, games, or external validation, but in the interior world of the soul. Through our interactions with others, we learn to distinguish between fear and love, frightened and loving parts of our personality. These choices shape the consequences we create, opening the path to authentic power - the alignment of personality with soul.


At its essence, this conversation illuminates a timeless truth: only love is real. Fear produces emptiness and pain, but love generates joy, meaning, and fulfillment. Authentic connection begins when we choose love over fear, cultivating harmony, cooperation, and reverence for life.


What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • (00:00) — A New Consciousness: Why humanity is shifting from five-sensory to multisensory perception.

  • (04:50) — What Real Connection Is (and Isn’t): How true connection arises from shared inner experiences, not devices or distractions.

  • (07:21) — Love vs. Fear: Why learning to distinguish these inner states determines the quality of our consequences.

  • (10:17) — Authentic Power: How aligning your personality with your soul creates lasting fulfillment.

  • (13:17) — External Power vs. Authentic Power: Why manipulation and control always collapse, while authentic power cannot be lost.

  • (16:14) — Joy as a Revelator: How joy reveals the presence of love and why fear can never bring fulfillment.

  • (18:42) — The Tools of Love: How emotional awareness and responsible choice stabilize love as the ongoing experience of life.
