Soul Stories and Gary Zukav


Gary Discusses How to Create Authentic Power

Temptation is the gracious way of introducing each soul to his or her power. With each choice that you make to align yourself with the energy of your soul instead of surrendering to the temptation, you empower yourself. This is how authentic power is acquired. It is built up, step by step, choice by choice. It cannot be meditated or prayed into being. It must be earned.

— from the Seat of the Soul

Oprah: I love that you say that. You can't meditate or pray it into being or wanted or wish for it or say, 'Yeah, that's what I want. I want to, like, live for my inner self. I want to be more internally authentically powered.' You can't pray it up. You have to live it every day.

Gary: Exactly. It's the same as watching a magnificent basketball player and saying, 'I want to do that,' and then you don't do anything else. You have to work, whether it's to play golf, to be a good mother. No matter what it is in life, you have to practice it and learn what you're doing; practice again, practice and practice, learn what you're doing wrong, become more aware of what you're doing wrong so you can do it right. That's creating something you didn't have before.

To create authentic power, I'm talking about making decisions consciously in your life to create harmony and cooperation and sharing and reverence for life. And when you do this, you create a life of joy, spontaneity and appropriateness. Now this is how you create authentic power. You must make those choices.
