202: Gary Zukav – Becoming a Universal Human

“The basic choice is love or fear.”
- Gary Zukav

Welcome to another episode of the ONKEN RADIO (previously NION Radio), the podcast where we explore the body, mind, and soul of the creative entrepreneur. I’m on a mission to help you take your creativity, business, and life to the next level, and it brings me great joy to know you’re joining me on this journey.

Today, I'm excited to bring you a very special guest. His name is Gary Zukav, and he's on a mission to show us how we can grow beyond the limitations of the five senses through expanded consciousness, spiritual growth, and a process of consulting our intuition. 
“Every creation is a co-creation.”
- Gary Zukav
It’s all about spiritual partnerships in relationships where two people are dedicated to each other's growth, both spiritually and personally, and we are all mirrors for each other. We attract people into our lives called mirrors, sometimes it's not always the most comfortable thing. However, mirrors are how we grow, and that's what spiritual partnerships are.

In this episode, we talked about mirrors and about being a universal human or a multi-sensory human, which involves learning how to create authentic power that will eventually make us universal humans. This is an exciting conversation, so let’s go.
Who Is Gary Zukav?
Gary Zukav is a New York Times bestselling author of four consecutive bestseller books. He's probably best known for Seat of the Soul, which captures the imaginations of millions of people. The book talks about the alignment of the personality and the soul as the fulfillment of life. Another of his bestselling books, Universal Human, invites you to a world based on love, which we also discuss in this episode.

His recent book, Spiritual Partnership, reveals a powerful new relationship dynamic that allows us to reach our full potential and create authentic power, calling us to a life of joy and fulfillment. Spiritual partnerships are not only for couples in marriage. They can be created by two or more individuals who decide to engage as equals for the purpose of spiritual development.

Gary Zukav has appeared 36 times on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and he co-created the Seat of the Soul Institute together with Linda Francis. He is all about helping people step into their authentic power, which is something I’ve been talking about, though in a somewhat different language. For me, that's the term that I use for diving deeper into the universe inside of you and me and finding a way to create power from within. 

We'll never be satisfied when we are looking for external validations and external things to fill us up. And getting to a place where we are coming from a loving intention versus a fearful intention, is the space that creates authentic power.

As if all that weren’t enough, Gary is also a former green beret officer of the U.S. Army Special Forces, and after his military service, he wrote his first book, The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics. I'm really excited to check this book out because it talks about the dazzling and fascinating world of physics in the quantum field and spirituality and how they all intermix with each other. Understanding that beautiful connection is just a part of being a multisensory human and becoming a universal human. 
Harnessing Our Multi-Sensory Personality Beyond the Five Basic Senses
We are all multi-sensory humans. Meaning, our perceptions can sometimes go beyond what we physically see, hear, smell, or taste. We somehow have an understanding that there is another kind of power taking its roots from the deepest source of our beings, which Gary Zukav calls the “authentic power.” 

As we discover our authentic power, we also evolve from being a five-sensory human to a multi-sensory human where our perceptions are no longer limited by physical reality but expanded to a bigger dynamical system that the physical reality is only a part of.
