Seat of the Soul

I Feel Transformed!!

I just finished the book, and all I can say is 'awesome.' Kind of a trendy word for a 41-year-old to use, but it's all I can think of to appropriately describe it. Mr. Zuvak puts everything into such powerful perspective, cuts through all the greed, anger, and jealousy that this world is thriving on now, and gets to the common root that we ALL have, a soul and spirit. Sure, we all love our SUVs and summer vacations and trips to the mall, but it's not what this life is all about. It's the life the five sense personality has created for itself, and as a result, we're all walking around like a bunch of empty shells wearing designer labels! I think Congress should cancel the upcoming inaguration balls (they've spent enough time on this election already!) and use the money that is wasted on yet more greed and misuse of power, and instead mail a copy of this wonderful and insightive book to every person in this country. It would be money much well spent. What's more important, discovering our true selves and ridding the country of some anger and hatred, or tuning in to see what color gown Laura Bush is wearing??!!

Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav

This book is a "must read" for all those individuals who are trying to make sense of how our life's lessons are developed and used for our spiritual awakening and journey. All those who enjoy psycho-analyzing themselves, want to understand why situations occur, and wonder why they have been placed in situations need to read this book. Furthermore, the best thing about this book is that it is the first that I have seen on how our personality is reflected through the soul's journey. It is an important piece to a puzzle of evolution of a person's soul on Earth. Gary Zukav makes it clear and helps to distinguish why some of us see things through our senses, and others see things through more developed senses and intuition. If anyone wonders why they are different from their mates, etc. and how in the world they connected and wonder why others don't see things the way they see things, this book is useful to unraveling the mystery. Gary maps out why we have come to Earth and how we connect to the universe in an understandable and simple way. I loved this book-- but I believe nothing happens by chance. I was told about this book by a well known astrologer.

Wonderful work in progress!

Although he is not the best in articulating his vision in a convincing way, I have to say that this book is evidence that Zukav is on his way to something wonderful. Though his commercial success may serve as a impediment in his own path, I think that he has made a positive and significant contribution to public consciousness through this book. All I can hope for is that he continues developing his understanding and uses his fame in a responsible and positive way. If you are looking for this type of vision that is explained in a much more articulate manner, read 'The Ever-Transcending Spirit' by Toru Sato. If you read Sato's book, you will see how it all comes together and also feel incredibly inspired!

Perfect book

Hold on to your seat as you read through this book. It will open your mind in ways you may not have thought of before. For me, it was reassuring to the way i feel and think. Glad we are coming together! Unconditional peace and love world wide! Thank you Gary!

Introspective

This book is a wonderful journey to introspection. At the beginning, it seemed like a rehash of some other books I've read, but in the second part of the book Zukav surprised me by introducing ways to look at myself and others. Although some may not believe in karma and some of the other beliefs Zukav speaks about, it is still an excellent book.

Inspirational

Gary Zukav clarifies our movement from sensory knowledge to intuitive understanding. The topics presented show our evolution moving from outer changes to inner unfolding of consciousness expressed as both personal and social transformation. I gained many insights from 'Seat of the Soul' and highly recommend it as a guide to transformation work.

a reviewer

This book brought to the surface basic understandings that needed to be recognized. I felt a sense of inner strength forming as I read.

Tantalizing

Zukav's deep and intense thoughts are arranged and described in impressive fashion. Some of what's here is a bit subjective and imaginative -- I think this is part of the book's mystique.

I am very fortunate to have read this book!

This book is a must read especially for anyone who is pursuing their spirituality.

Highly recommended

Gary Zukav is a great thinker. I think if we are truly in touch with ourselves we will intuitively get his message from reading his book. He shares with us his wonderful views on spirituality and life. I was also very impressed with another book on this topic. It is called Rhythm, Relationships, and Transcendence by Toru Sato. If you like Zukav's books, I think you'll like this one too. It is truly inspiring!

Life Changing

The Seat of the Soul is with out a doubt the most inspiring book I have ever read, I have searched for many years for some spiritual guidance and direction, and until I read this book had not found any. My life has changed dramatically, in that I take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions, and realize I am not alone in the Universe. I recommend to anyone searching for truth and clarity to read this book.

The Book That Changed My Life

The Seat Of the Soul wrote by Gary Zukav has very directly affected my life in a way that is hard to decribe. For a five-sentory thinking world at times, I often wondered who it is that I am? Because; I just don't fit in to that way of thinking. I can forgive the crimnial, the crime, and look beyond the face, and now see his spirit. There we can find the reason for his deed!! This could chance the world as we know it!! Gary Zukav has said it. He had the courage to bring it to light. That forgiveness and love, compasstion and understanding our fellow Earth school pupils just might be the right thing to do. More inpotantly; it might be the REAL thing to do!!

inspiring

This book gives you real truths that clear the muck in the adventure of life. Truly inspiring and fun to read.

Excellent

I don't know how Gary Zukav does it, but this book speaks to me like very few books ever have. I just read this book for the third time and I am reminded why so many people love this author so much. Every time I read it I find new meanings, new inspiration and new ways of looking at myself and my circumstances that help me grow as a person and be happier.

Not Entirely Convincing

Zukav's argument is based around the premise that there is a soul, but this is a premise he never sets out to prove. The book thereafter is quite logical, though not really refreshing and somewhat typical of the a+b=c argument. It reminds me of Plato's attempts to prove the existence of the soul, which even he began to reject. A good book, but not Zukav's best.

Seat of the Soul

I loved the author's ideas about compassion the most

Insightful

Saw him on Oprah and his book was even better.

Seat of the Soul

The book had some real, new spiritual concepts in it; however, I preferred the book An Encounter With A Prophet.
