Click Here: https://seatofthesoul.com/daily-intuition-practice/ A new multisensory consciousness is transforming humanity, and with it comes a deeper capacity for connection - one that begins not with the world around us, but within ourselves. In this episode, Gary Zukav and Linda Francis explore the experience of compassion: what it feels like when it arises naturally, and what it means to cultivate it deliberately through the practice of Authentic Power. Linda Francis opens by reflecting on how grateful she feels whenever compassion moves through her - and how it always leads back to love. She invites Gary to share his own experience, and he describes compassion arising most reliably in moments of judgment. When he notices himself criticizing or pulling away from someone, he makes the Responsible Choice to remember that they are a Soul in a frightened part of their personality, and in pain. In that remembering, the desire to connect overtakes the impulse to judge. The Authentic Power Guidelines define compassion as the practice of noticing that other people are Souls, just like us, who sometimes have frightened parts of their personalities active - and that remembering this is often enough to bring us back to the frequency of Love.

(03:39) — The progression of practice: Gary describes the natural arc of creating Authentic Power - from I can do this to this is who I am - where compassion becomes instinctive rather than intentional. (04:24) — Linda on the role of intention: Linda observes that Gary's consistency with compassion flows from his clear intention to create Authentic Power - and Gary affirms that he renews that intention every morning, every evening, and many times in between.
