The Seat of the Soul

25th Anniversary Edition

De: Gary Zukav

Narrado por: Gary Zukav, Maya Angelou (preface), Oprah Winfrey (preface)

With the same extraordinary skill that he used to demystify scientific abstraction and the new physics, Gary Zukav, the award-winning author of The Dancing Wu Li Masters, here takes us on a brilliant and penetrating exploration of the new phase of evolution we have now entered.

With lucidity and elegance, Zukav explains that we are evolving from a species that pursues power based upon the perceptions of the five senses, external power, into a species that pursues authentic power, power that is based upon the perceptions and values of the spirit. He shows how the pursuit of external power has produced our survival-of-the-fittest understanding of evolution, generated conflict between lovers, communities, and superpowers, and brought us to the edge of destruction.

Using his scientist's eye and philosopher's heart, Zukav shows how infusing the activities of life with reverence, compassion, and trust makes them come alive with meaning and purpose. He illustrates how the emerging values of the spirit are changing marriages into spiritual partnerships, psychology into spiritual psychology, and transforming our everyday lives. The Seat of the Soul describes the remarkable journey to the spirit that each of us is on.

intense reaction, so happy to listen to it , have listened 3 x and still there's more to get.. incredible insight to the soul.. this is a keeper to listen to time and time again..timeless journey !

This book will bring about a paradigm shift in you

This book was amazing. I have yet to do the study guide although I've listened to it and plan to print the study guide out. The book itself though is DEEP!! You really have to hit pause and think about the things that are being said. This book is one of those that can change your life and leave a lasting impression on all the people who know you.

This is it!

This is it! I took a DEEP seat into this Masterpiece. You get what you ask for and I have asked for everything that I am receiving right now. Everything I read in this book hit me in a deeply profound way. There was not one thing that I wasn’t open to or found to be confusing. I am so thankful to the Author for being willing and ready to brave this journey. My soul was fed on every level. So many of my patterns were called out to my consciousness and I humbly came to know all of the conflicting parts to me that were at work. Again, this book isn’t something that you want to read once. So many layers unfolding that it requires time, awareness, patience, and experience. Good journey to all.

Intimidating Empowerment

I am suddenly consumed with fear. The principles in this read are diametrically opposed to the way I have lived up until today. The ideas are foreign yet familiar. The timing is uncanning. The question is if I choise to follow these teachings who will I become. Certainly a stranger unto myself. All and all intriguing Gemini Intellectual entertainment. Thanks Oprah for the recommendation. Aloha

Life changing book

This is a must read for everyone who wants to live a life that is meaningful with purpose . It is a must read and should be part of everyone’s library!! Thanks for giving back Gary , I am motivated to do the same .

Excellent Read - Food for Thought

Delves deep into the ancient teachings that the yoga masters have taught for eons. Great Food for thought.

Great book

Offers great insight. Makes you think about the path you are on and helps you to get back on course.

Essential...Divined.

What this blueprint to purpose illuminates, is priceless , I recommend this read to all who feel a lean in to a greater purpose ,but may need a GPS of sorts ... this will certainly recalibrate your meanderings. Thank you.
Always trust the truth.

Transformative

this was the most transformative book I've ever read! I reread it three times and I'm about to listen to it again!

Touching

If you could sum up The Seat of the Soul in three words, what would they be?

In so many words this novel has reached me, in a way my own voice has not been able to. It has given me an image for what I have always been aware of, yet never was able to communicate.

What did you like best about this story?

Intention and Personality. The introduction that the idea that a soul is guiding my personality.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no.

If you could give The Seat of the Soul a new subtitle, what would it be?

Wake up your soul

Any additional comments?

Sleeping souls that have been isolated and buried will grow and flourish and reach out as intended.
