> Peu d’auteurs se sont risqués à donner une explication scientifique de l’âme. La meilleure se trouve dans le livre de Gary Zukav The Seat of the Soûl (New York : Simon and Schuster, 1989).
—Deepak Chopra, 'Comment connaître Dieu', Rocher, 2001

Gary Zukav, an Eagle Scout Harvard graduate, who served as a Green Beret officer (1st Lt) in Viet Nam, fell in with young theoretical physicists in San Francisco, and wrote "Dancing Wu Li Masters" [Wu Li = Chinese "Physics" with five definitions -- including "nonsense"]. Zukav explains that work was intended to 'open the mind", and this "Seat of the Soul" is intended to "open the heart".

Zukav does not seem have have done any actual "science" for either book. He posits an elaboration of Soul, alleging that the human species is emerging from the illusions of the "five senses" and "external power". Transformation is possible with intention and better choices. A transformational Power based upon perceptions of this Soul thing--moving from "external" to "authentic power."

This is an unwavering mashup of psychology, Jain/Hindu Karmic creation, and heady speculations about the existence of a Soul in everyone. The Soul is "that part of you that is immortal". [14] The Will to Intention, (cf. Adler's Will to Power, Freud's Will to Pleasure, Frankl's Will to Meaning), the idea of having Choice, is developed without credit to those who opened this door to self-awareness .

We can choose fear, and evolve through the destruction fear creates. Why not choose the conscious path, the path of Joy? Can we transform energy into matter with better intentions? [Written 2014, two years before the Naqba.]

This is not a work of theology, but a courageous effort to provide useful tools to free our "splintered" personalities from fear, addiction, and a poor quality of consciousness. Zukav uses the example of "the personality, Jesus" who chose the path of glory over the temptations offered by the "Luciferic principle". [157] "Authentic empowerment is not gained by making choices that do not stretch you."

In the intentional effort to align our personalities with our soul--we will stimulate our spiritual growth and become better people in the process. This insightful, lucid synthesis of concepts of psychology, karmic debts, and new-age principles of consciousness-raising.

Example of advice for giving spiritual care: Offer comfort to the group-soul of the dolphins. The dolphins are creating diseases within, and beaching themselves, as "their way of refusing to continue to live upon the Earth...."They are exhausted." [165]

EL ASIENTO DEL ALMA

.la expansión de la perfección humana más allá de los cinco sentidos
Trata de una nueva forma de ver el mundo de estar en él., de la expansion
de la percepcion humana más allá de los cinco sentidos.
Defiende el poder auténtico, el poder interior frente al poder externo., y nos habla
de la necesidad de sincronizar, personalidad y alma.

Shucks. I am having a hard time believing this tripe is by the same guy who wrote THE DANCING WU LI MASTERS. Zukav was almost prescient with his insights and final predictions in DANCING. SEAT is all hot air. There are not many books I toss, but I don't think I want to offer the tacit approval a place on my bookshelf offers. ( )
