In this Soul Snack, Gary Zukav answers one of the most universal questions people carry: how do I create intimacy? He explains that intimacy can only be created through love, and that in order to create with love, a person must first learn to recognize it - distinguishing it clearly within themselves from fear.
Gary explains that love and fear are the only two energies available to us. Fear shows up as distance, power struggles, judgment, and exploitation, and it always hurts. Love shows up as gratitude, appreciation, caring, patience, and contentment, and it always feels good. Creating authentic power means learning to tell these two energies apart within yourself, moment by moment, no matter the circumstance.
The solution Gary offers: true intimacy comes not from another person's behavior, but from choosing love over fear consistently, which allows a person to align their personality with their soul and experience intimate connection with everyone, regardless of how others show up.
