Every day brings a choice between two ways of living: one rooted in gratitude, patience, and contentment, the other in anger, worry, overwhelm, and despair. In this Soul Snack, Gary Zukav describes the light of the Universe, which is everywhere, always has been, and always will be. He reveals that this light is the light of the soul, and that every individual is a being of that same light.

This truth reaches far beyond what the multi-sensory personality expects. Planets, galaxies, mountains, oceans, crops, and even sidewalks are forms of light. Gary aligns Light with Consciousness, meaning reverent awareness rather than the operation of the intellectual mind, and with Love, the divine energy that moves the stars and shines when you care for another individual more deeply than for yourself.

Light, Consciousness, and Love are one and the same, and each individual is a being of this light. We are systems of light living within systems of light.

Embrace the Soul Step Challenge

Think of a moment this week when you cared for someone more than you cared for yourself, or felt connected to something larger, like the ocean or the night sky. Pause and notice what that felt like. Ask yourself: what would change if I saw myself and the people around me as beings of light? How would I treat the person in front of me if I remembered we are made of the same light?

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.
