In this insightful episode, Gary discusses the profound impact of intentions on our actions and words.

Gary emphasizes that understanding and aligning with loving intentions is a cornerstone of creating authentic power.

He illustrates this with relatable examples, showing how intentions—not just actions—are the true creators of our life’s outcomes.
The solution lies in becoming aware of your intentions before speaking or acting. By consistently choosing love over fear, you can align with your soul’s intentions, creating a life filled with joy, connection, meaning and fulfillment.

How to Grow Spiritually when Depressed
In today’s mini-episode, Gary explores the profound challenges and opportunities depression offers on the spiritual journey. Drawing on his own experiences and insights, Gary reframes depression not just as an overwhelming state of fear but as a chance to develop emotional awareness and authentic power. Through tangible steps, he guides listeners to look beyond the pain and find a path forward rooted in love and connection.
Gary explains that depression is an expression of a frightened part of the personality that arises from fear, powerlessness, and lack. These feelings manifest as physical sensations in the body, and identifying them is the first step toward healing. Depression can feel like an endless cycle of despair, but Gary encourages listeners to meet these feelings with emotional awareness, courage, and the transformative power of giving to others.
The solution lies in shifting attention from self-focused pain to loving actions. By committing to small, meaningful gestures—like offering a smile or helping someone else—listeners can break the grip of depression and rediscover the joy of connection and purpose. The key is acting from the loving parts of the personality, even in the smallest ways.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
(00:41): Why depression is a reflection of fear and powerlessness.
(03:06): How emotional awareness helps identify the physical roots of depression.
(05:29): The transformative power of giving and connecting with others.
(07:53): Gary’s personal journey from depression to purpose through sharing.
(10:09): Why love and action are the keys to moving beyond depression.
Embrace the Soul Step Challenge: Take time to sit with your emotions and notice where they manifest physically in your body. Write down your observations and explore what part of your personality these sensations come from. Then, challenge yourself to shift from fear to love by taking one small action for someone else. How does this affect your emotions and perspective? Document your experiences in your journal.

The Underlying Gift of Addiction
In this episode, Gary delves into the profound and often misunderstood topic of addiction. He reframes addiction as more than a destructive force, illuminating its deeper spiritual significance.
