In today’s episode, Gary Zukav takes listeners on a journey into the essence of humbleness, a vital quality for creating authentic power. Humbleness, as Gary explains, is not about diminishing yourself or pretending to be less than others. Instead, it is the profound understanding that every soul’s journey is equally as complex, meaningful, and challenging as your own. It is the ability to see the perfection in the Earth school and to recognize every experience - whether painful or joyful - as a gift for growth and spiritual development.
Gary reveals how humbleness naturally emerges as you align your personality with your soul and embrace your soul’s intentions: harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life. By practicing humbleness, you deepen your emotional awareness, make more meaningful choices, and connect with the unique gifts you were born to give.
This episode is an invitation to see the world and yourself in a new, transformative way.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
(00:37): The intentions of the soul - harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life - and their connection to authentic power.
(04:35): The distinction between humbleness and humility and why humbleness is essential for spiritual growth.
(09:14): How emotional awareness allows you to make choices aligned with your soul and avoid fear-driven behaviors.
(12:26): The power of recognizing every life experience as a gift for growth and spiritual development.
(18:40): The unique gifts each soul brings to the world and how honoring them creates meaning and humbleness.
Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: Reflect on a moment when you felt true humbleness - when you realized the complexity and beauty of someone else’s journey. Write this experience in your soul journal. Then, during your next interaction with someone, consciously view them not as their external “earth suit” but as a soul like you. Pay attention to what you sense about their emotions and intentions, and notice how this awareness deepens your own humbleness.

Reverence for Life: Your Soul’s Intention
In today’s episode, Gary Zukav invites listeners to explore the state of reverence - a cornerstone of authentic power and spiritual growth. Reverence is not an emotion but a state of being that allows us to see beyond the surface, into the essence of all life. By cultivating reverence, we open ourselves to soul-to-soul connections, deepen our awareness, and align our lives with love.
Gary dives into the role of reverence, contrasting it with the old consciousness limited by five sensory perceptions. Through vivid analogies and personal reflections, he helps us understand how reverence transforms how we see others, ourselves, and life itself.
If you’re ready to embrace life with greater depth and awareness, and to create authentic power through love, this episode will inspire and guide you.

(03:25): How reverence connects to authentic power and expands our awareness beyond the five senses.
(06:27): Why fear obstructs reverence and how love shifts your perspective in the Earth School.
(11:08): The power of soul-to-soul connections and their role in spiritual growth.
(17:24): How reverence reshapes our understanding of life's challenges as opportunities for growth.
Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: Take out your soul journal and reflect on your most recent soul-to-soul connection. Write about the circumstances and emotions you experienced. Then, recall and document other moments of reverence where you connected with someone’s essence, not their external “earth suit.” At the end of the week, review your entries to see how your awareness of reverence has deepened.

Gary contrasts traditional collaboration, often driven by motives like personal gain or safety, with cooperation and co-creation, acts grounded in love and spiritual partnership. He shares stories, personal experiences, and wisdom on how to discern between cooperation that is coming from fear and true co-creation that contributes to life.
If you're ready to explore the difference between participating out of fear versus contributing with love and your Soul’s intentions, this episode is a must-listen.

(01:48): The distinction between cooperation rooted in fear and cooperation that is driven by love - cocreation
