In this Soul Snack, Gary Zukav explores the difference between reacting unconsciously from old patterns and consciously choosing a different path. He explains that an unprecedented new consciousness is transforming the human species, and that every moment offers a choice between two inner worlds: one rooted in gratitude, patience, and contentment, and one rooted in anger, worry, and despair.
Gary describes what happens internally when emotions coming from fear are activated - a frightened part of the personality that wants to react, please, or protect, pulling against what an individual knows to be true. He explains that when someone cannot support another in creating Authentic Power, it is often because they are operating from a frightened part of their personality, such as the part that needs to please others.
The invitation is simple: in each moment of emotional awareness, a person can choose to infuse their actions and words with love instead of fear - and that choice, made moment by moment, is what creating Authentic Power actually means.
