You may seek companionship and warmth, for example, but if your unconscious intention is to keep people at a distance, the experiences of separation and pain will surface again and again until you come to understand that you, yourself, are creating them. Eventually, you will choose to create harmony and love. You will choose to draw to you the highest-frequency currents that each situation has to offer. Eventually, you will come to understanding that love heals everything, and love is all there is.
Gary ZukavThe number of teachers and guides that a soul has depends upon what it seeks to accomplish and its level of awareness. Souls that take upon themselves projects of more magnitude bring to themselves more assistance.
Gary ZukavThe loving personality seeks not to control, but to nurture, not to dominate, but to empower.
Gary ZukavWhen someone new comes into your life and suddenly you feel more alive, more beautiful, more sexual, more creative, more desirable and more engaged; you feel that this new person is the key to those feelings. But actually, you have these qualities too. What you don't see and don't acknowledge in yourself, you project onto someone else. Carl Jung explored this very well. He called it projection.
Gary ZukavAllow yourself to experience what it is to learn step by step the freedom that comes from being unattached to the outcome, but operating from an empowered heart.
Gary ZukavCan you be compassionate even to those who have no compassion? If so, there is no finer karma that you can create.
Gary ZukavThe great soul is the person who has taken on the task of change. If he or she is able to transcend fear, to act out of courage, the whole group will benefit and each one, in his or her own life, will be suddenly more courageous, though they may not see how or why.
Gary ZukavA new species is being born inside each one of us. Eventually, we will all express the perceptions and values of this new species.
Gary ZukavUntil you can say what is most difficult for you to say, you cannot speak from your heart, live unafraid, create health, or receive support from others.
Gary ZukavThe only thing that can cause your body to hurt in your energy processing centers, [chakras] is when you are losing Spirit through one of them.
Gary ZukavWhen we align our thoughts, emotions, and actions with the highest part of ourselves, we are filled with enthusiasm, purpose and meaning. Life is rich and full. We have no thoughts of bitterness. We have no memory of fear. We are joyously and intimately engaged with our world. This is the experience of authentic power
Gary ZukavThe circumstances of your life are neither good nor bad. They are appropriate to the needs of your soul. They may or may not be what your personality desires.
Gary ZukavWe are in the greatest evolutionary transformation in the history of our species. We are expanding beyond the five senses. We are becoming aware of ourselves as immortal souls, as powerful creators and co-creators. We are becoming aware that we experience what we create, and there is no escape from that.
Gary ZukavAcceptance without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western religion, rejection without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western science.
Gary ZukavReligions cannot change you. If you are angry, you will become an angry Muslim or Hindu. If you are righteous, you will become a righteous Christian or Jew.
Gary ZukavWhen the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing...you are doing what you were meant to be doing.
Gary ZukavEventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is. The journey may take many lifetimes, but you will complete it. It is impossible not to complete it. It is not a question of if but of when. Every situation you create serves this purpose. Every experience you encounter serves this purpose.
Gary ZukavLove does more than bring peace where there is conflict. It brings a different way of being in the world.
Gary ZukavThe illusion holds power over you when you are not able to remember that you are a powerful spirit that has taken on the physical experience for the purpose of learning.
Gary ZukavSpiritual partnership is the partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth.
Gary ZukavThe essence of a person is not the clothing she wears or the things he does. People who love them do not stop loving them when they change clothing or do other things. Your essence is not even your history, culture, race, or what you think and do. It is your soul.
Gary ZukavCommitment to love - to growth, to authentic power is an everyday application of your will.
Gary ZukavEmotions are messengers that carry information. Spiritual growth depends upon receiving that information & using it.
Gary ZukavAs people become multisensory, they begin to realize that their lives are meaningful, that there's a purpose to all of their experiences - to the people that they meet, to the challenges that they have, that nothing is random.
Gary ZukavMulti-sensory perception is also the ability to see meaning in everyday experiences...You have non-physical guides and teachers. You access them through your intuition. You hear them 'so to speak' through your insights, inspirations, and clarity. Non-physical teachers cannot control you. You must always decide for yourself how you will use your energy, what you will create. They will assist you to see your choices and the consequences of each. They will guide you to the full scope and depth of your power. How you use your power is up to you.
Gary ZukavIt is for you to decide what you will contribute to this world... Will you contribute to the love that is in the world or the fear? This is the same opportunity that presents itself each moment.
Gary ZukavThere is not one soul on this planet, whether it is a person living in Ethiopia, or in Florida, or in Canada, whose life is not as complex and as rich as your own.
Gary ZukavThe new female is competent in all that she chooses. She chooses whatever her heart tells her. She can create a business, lead a country, drive a truck, hammer nails, deliver mail, or raise a family. She is at home in every social and physical environment. She can be a housewife, if she chooses. She can be anything else, too. She is intuitive and heart centered. She is all that a female has been, and more.
Gary ZukavWhen our actions create discord in another person, we, ourselves, in this lifetime or another, will feel that discord. Likewise, if our actions create harmony and empowerment in another, we also come to feel that harmony and empowerment.
Gary ZukavTry to realize, and truly realize, that what stands between you and a different life are matters of responsible choice.
Gary ZukavThe winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.
Gary ZukavEach moment is a moment of choice ~ a time to leave the old, the limited, the restrained, and the contracted for the new, the unbound, and the liberating potential that expands before you.
Gary ZukavThe only way to become authentically powerful is to create authentic power. You cannot wish, want, or command authentic power into your life, although you can try.
Gary Zukav
