About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"[Zukav's] high-minded synthesis is something more than old wine in a new bottle." ( Publishers Weekly)

Learned so much

When I first started the book i got to about half of it and loved it, then got a little tired of it and couldn't understand very much, maybe was not the right time, few months passed and then tried it again, just finished it and loved it, now, I was ready for the lesson!!
You have to find the right moment for it! I would listen to it again for sure and keep learning more!
The only thing that didn't like is that the last chapters he reminds you every time to go to his web page for exercises but after the 3rd time it gets annoying!

Really Makes You Think

My dad has always told me to be mindful of my Intentions. I never really completely got it until he gave me this book. Now I continuously revisit the chapters to see what else I can understand about the laws and view things with my now perspective.
