For many the persistent need to cover their pain with an addiction is very real. Learn more from Gary Zukav HERE.

What if temptation wasn’t a trap – but a sacred opportunity for soul growth? In this episode, 

Gary Zukav deepens the conversation on temptation, revealing its role as a “dress rehearsal for a negative karmic event.” 

Rather than something to avoid or fear, temptation becomes a revealing messenger – an invitation to notice which part of you is speaking: a frightened part of your personality or a loving part. of your personality. 

From rage to jealousy to the need to please, every temptation is an opportunity to see a frightened part of your personality in action. 

It is a moment of choice between reacting from that frightened part, or consciously responding from a loving part . When you choose to act from a loving part of your personality, you align yourself with your soul and create authentic power .

This episode offers a liberating shift in perspective. Temptation is not evidence of failure or evil, but a compassionate signal from the Universe to pause, become emotionally aware, and make a responsible choice . In that conscious choice lies your power to shape your reality with love by creating authentic power.

Embrace the Soul Step Challenge:

This week, take a moment to write in your journal each time you notice a tempting thought or impulse. Ask yourself: Which frightened part of my personality is behind this? Describe what it wants to do. Then, ask: What would my life feel like if I didn’t follow this impulse? Shift your attention to a loving part of your personality and choose your response from there. That is how you create authentic power—one conscious choice at a time.
