Why Choose Forgiveness?


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Gary Zukav explores the transformative power of forgiveness. Often misunderstood as something you do for others, Gary reveals that forgiveness is actually about freeing yourself from the emotional weight of resentment, anger, and judgment. It's not about condoning someone’s actions but about lightening your own load and seeing the world with clarity and love.

Gary shares practical insights on how forgiveness aligns with the new consciousness, the creation of authentic power, and the development of a more meaningful, joyful life. With thoughtful analogies - like carrying a backpack full of rocks or wearing distorted sunglasses - Gary illustrates how holding onto resentment distorts your perception and keeps you stuck.

Ultimately, forgiveness is a choice rooted in love. By embracing it, you create profound shifts in your personal growth, spiritual development, and relationships.


What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • (00:46): Forgiveness as an energy dynamic, not a moral obligation.
  • (02:15): How holding on to resentment distorts your view of life.
  • (05:31): The connection between forgiveness, authentic power, and the new consciousness.
  • (13:31): The role of karma and how your choices shape your experiences.
  • (19:31): Why choosing forgiveness lightens your load and changes your life.


    Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: Reflect on moments where you’ve struggled to forgive others - or yourself. Write down these instances and consider how they’ve impacted your emotional and spiritual well-being. Ask yourself: What would change if I chose love over fear in these situations?
