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.

In that conscious choice lies your power to shape your reality with love by creating authentic power.
