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.
