The Danger of Forgetting: Let’s Not Repeat the Past
Are you practicing judgment or discernment? Learn more as Gary explains the difference in this illuminating video.
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.

In this episode, Gary Zukav offers a powerful guided meditation centered on the experience of equality - soul-to-soul connection that transcends fear and invites you to create authentic power. As he gently guides listeners into stillness, Gary explores how spiritual partnership is rooted not in hierarchy, but in mutual support for spiritual growth.
The episode dives deeper into the essence of equality - not as a surface-level dynamic, but as a lived experience made possible through aligning personality with the soul. He explains that superiority and inferiority are rooted in fear, and only through cultivating love - gratitude, patience, and compassion - can we experience true equality.
Listeners are encouraged to observe how fear-based feelings of inferiority or superiority block authentic connection, and how the path to spiritual partnership begins by challenging those parts of ourselves. This meditation supports you in doing just that - gently, consciously, and with compassion.

Together Miniseries #8: The BIGGEST Surprise
Join the Seat of the Soul monthly newsletter and receive weekly, wisdom filled, insights from Gary.
In this final episode of the Together miniseries, Gary Zukav reveals what may be the most profound spiritual realization of all: love is not only the path forward - it's the very essence of who we are. Drawing from personal reflections, history, and spiritual teachings, Gary invites us to understand why love is not just a feeling or a virtue, but the only force that can transform the world from the inside out.
This episode explores the epic divide between the old consciousness driven by fear and external power, and the emerging new consciousness rooted in multisensory perception and authentic power. Gary shares vivid metaphors, such as the coal-powered train of the old world, to show how this outdated system has run out of fuel. He explains why attempting to fight fear with more fear is futile - and why our evolution now depends on a radical shift inward.
The solution is as surprising as it is necessary: We must love even those we find most difficult to love - those rooted in brutality and fear. From Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to Jesus of Nazareth, Gary illustrates how inner transformation is the only true path to outer change. You cannot change the world without changing yourself. This is the biggest surprise.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
(00:58) – Why the old world of fear and external power has run out of fuel—and what that means for all of us
(05:45) – The stark contrast between five-sensory and multisensory humans—and the inner split we're all facing
(11:50) – Why fighting the old world with its own tools will never create lasting change
(14:10) – The transformational examples of Gandhi, MLK Jr., and Jesus—and what they reveal about real power
(21:30) – The “biggest surprise” of our evolution: loving those we fear or hate is essential for growth
(29:30) – Why our inner change is not optional—and how every choice contributes to the evolution of the soul

This week, Gary invites you to reflect on the biggest surprise: the requirement to love even those who frighten, anger, or oppose you. Take out your soul notebook and ask yourself - What parts of me resist this love? What frightened parts want to retaliate instead of respond with love? Write them down. Then write about the part of you that can love in spite of fear. Let this contrast guide your evolution this week.

Together Miniseries #7: Where We're Going
In this episode of the Together miniseries, Gary Zukav brings the spiritual journey full circle by exploring where we're going as individuals and as a species. A profound shift in consciousness is underway, moving humanity from fear-driven external power to love-based authentic power. Gary reflects on the arc of human evolution and explains why this transformation - already unfolding - is the most significant shift our species has ever faced.
Gary contrasts the old world, defined by five-sensory perception and fear, with the new, multisensory world rooted in the soul. Drawing on examples from history and personal awareness, he reveals how this shift is not just philosophical - it’s personal. We are living at the tipping point between two vastly different paradigms, and each of us must choose where to stand: in the past of manipulation and control, or in the present of emotional awareness and soul-alignment.
Authentic power - rooted in love, patience, and reverence for life - is the destination. The path begins in you. As Gary emphasizes, this journey isn’t abstract or someday—it’s here and now. We are all standing in the great divide between fear and love. Which will you choose?
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.

(00:02) – Why both the old and new worlds are calling you - and how to recognize the difference

(09:03) – The two inner journeys: one into fear, one into love - and the outcomes of each
(11:58) – Why the new consciousness is no longer visionary, but real and here
