The Seat of the Soul

Listening to Gary Zukav calmly explaining his views on spirituality, you would never guess that he was once a Green Beret serving in Vietnam and, by his own confession, a former sex addict (listen to his very honest Miboso interview at his website, www.zukav.com). And yet here is a man who realized that facing enemies out in the jungles of Vietnam and sleeping around with women were actually ways to avoid facing his inner enemies of fear and insecurity. Here is a man who changed from an angry soldier trained to kill into a quiet, gentle human being trained to love. Anyone who has seen him on Oprah (where he was introduced to most of us) has witnessed his gentleness and humility.

Gary's personal journey is an example of what he believes humanity is experiencing as a whole: we are beginning to realize that controlling other people and outer circumstances cannot bring us true happiness and fulfillment. We are also beginning to acknowledge that dimensions of reality beyond the five senses exist, and that we interact with those dimensions. To sum up, we are transforming from five-sensory humans into multi-sensory humans. "The Seat of the Soul" is a personal guide to that transformation.

A summary might go like this: your soul picks aspects of itself that desire growth and healing, and then incarnates into a physical form having those aspects. You then draw to yourself people and experiences that awaken the unhealed parts of you and provide opportunities to consciously change your choices. When you stop making choices from fear and instead choose to act in love and trust, you experience healing and growth on your spiritual path. Paying attention to your emotions and your intuitions is very important in this process, as well as honest analysis of your intentions in every situation. And you always have help available in the form of nonphysical guides and teachers.

The book is well-written, and I found Mr. Zukav's reading to be perfect: calm and clear.

I have listened to this book twice now and have gotten a lot out of it both times. I heard and understood things the second time that I did not the first. It is my guess this will be true for the next time I listen.

So much of was important.

There were no characters but I found his way of reading the book quite comfortable to listen to for long periods of time.

I had a profound reaction.

This the type of book will fall into your hands when you are ready for it. I read it a couple of years ago and find that this time

I enjoyed that the author performed this reading. He placed stress and understanding where it needed to be in the reading. I enjoyed the lessons to be learned about myself.

His tone and peacefull, not forceful method of teaching.

No.

Yes.

I broke this reading into 6 one hour nights (one week) to absorb and process while not overloading at one setting and losing the points that were made.

Yes. It was suggested by my health coach that I read this book so I may overcome some forgiveness issues and cleanse my own soul. It has been an eye opening account of how our souls operate and what we can do to enjoy the ride during this life.

I was touched most by the segment that explains the effects of negative thoughts toward others and their impact on the whole of our existence. It is a constant reminder that each thought has so much power and we must be diligent to be the positive energy we want to experience from others.

He speaks with firm, clear intentions.

As I said above, the section that guides us into positive thoughts.

I listen to it over and over.

Can only compare it to his other books, that are very good also.

Very clear and concise.

Hope I can become the person that this book explains.
