In this episode, Gary Zukav answers a profound question: If you act with the intention of love but accidentally cause harm, will you still create painful karma? Gary explains that karma is precise, accurate, and always aligned with the intention behind your actions. Painful karma arises not from accidents but from the fear-based energy that fuels unconscious deeds. If love is the true source of your action, then what returns to you will be constructive and beneficial, regardless of unintended consequences. The key is awareness of intention. Every word and deed carries the energy of either love or fear, and that energy shapes your experiences. When you choose love consciously, you create authentic power and a life of growth and compassion.
