In this DeepCast episode, Gary Zukav examines a phrase so familiar it has become almost meaningless: "we're all in this together." Rather than treating it as a feel-good sentiment, Gary explores what it actually means through the lens of the new consciousness now emerging in humanity, revealing that this togetherness is not emotional reassurance but a literal description of how reality works in the Earth School.
He explains that in the old consciousness, power meant manipulation and control, built on a hard line between "in here" and "out there." The new consciousness dissolves that line, showing that what happens within us creates effects beyond the reach of the intellect. This raises the deeper question Gary poses: if every person we encounter is a soul, not just a personality, how are we meant to relate to one another?
The answer lies in shifting from relating personality-to-personality to relating soul-to-soul, replacing judgment and reaction with reverence for the essence beneath every person's appearance and behavior.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode
(00:02) — Why a Deepcast is different from a podcast: it doesn’t change you - your resonance with what you hear reveals something already within you.
(03:06) — How recognizing a frightened or loving part of your personality in someone else is the first step in creating Authentic Power.
(08:59) — Old‑consciousness power was manipulation and control rooted in separation; new consciousness dissolves the line between “in here” and “out there,” redefining what power even means.
(12:07) — The people in your life are never accidental - they are souls you have encountered before, and the new consciousness invites you to revere rather than dismiss them.
(14:58) — Even the most heinous personalities in history are souls incarnate, which reframes the real question from “how do I deal with others” to “how do I relate soul to soul?”
(19:56) — Gary previews the next topic, attachment, and closes with a Soul Step inviting listeners to track what resonates with them throughout the week.
Embrace the Soul Step Challenge
This week, notice the people who cross your path - the ones you’re drawn to and the ones you’d rather avoid. Pause before you judge their appearance or behavior, and ask yourself: what might I see if I looked past the shell to the soul beneath? Write down what comes up, whether you agree with it or resist it. You are not here to force yourself into reverence - you are here to notice where you already are, and where there is still learning.

Every day brings a choice between two ways of living: one rooted in gratitude and contentment, the other in anger and despair. In this Soul Snack, Gary Zukav explains what comes after emotional awareness, once a painful or pleasing sensation has been noticed near an energy processing center like the throat, chest, or solar plexus.
In this Deepcast episode, Gary Zukav takes on one of humanity's oldest fears: the idea that evil is a force loose in the world, something separate from us that can attack, tempt, or possess us. He traces this belief back through Christianity and Buddhism, both built on the story of a young man (Jesus, Siddhartha) who faced temptation on his path to a higher state of being. In the old consciousness, that temptation gets treated as an outside enemy, an independently existing evil that only an institution like the church can help you defeat. Gary argues this framing has always been a trap, one that keeps people dependent and afraid instead of powerful.
