Soul Stories by Gary Zukav

Description

Writing with profound psychological and spiritual insight, prize-winning author Gary Zukav has had a major impact on the consciousness of our entire generation. His number-one national bestseller, “The Seat of the Soul,” has been a life-changing experience for millions of Americans. In “The Seat of the Soul” he explains how the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power — the alignment of the personality with the soul — which in turn leads to an awareness of our extraordinary creative abilities and the responsibility we have for how we use them. Now, in one of the most important and useful books you will ever read, “Soul Stories,” Gary Zukav shows how this new understanding of power — authentic power — transforms lives in countless ways.

Here, too, is the story of Zukav's own personal evolution. He writes openly and intimately about periods of his life when he felt jealousy, competitiveness, fear, anger, and all the other emotions we encounter, and about how his understanding of these emotions changed with his awakening consciousness and recognition of a Universe that is alive and compassionate.

“Soul Stories” is filled with marvelous true stories that show how such concepts as intuition, harmony, sharing, and forgiveness actually express themselves in people's lives. Best of all, the stories lead to practical advice on how you can discover your own Soul Stories and the truths they reveal about the deepest sources of your being.

Designed with fifty-two brief sections, or “chapterettes,” the book can be read at a single sitting or savored one chapterette a week for an entire year.

Wonderfully readable, “SoulStories” is a wise and inspirational book.

Editorial Review

One of Gary Zukav's many gifts as a speaker and bestselling writer is his ability to present complicated metaphysical and spiritual themes in a way that is simultaneously down-to-earth and spine-tingling. How does he do it? Through story–the oldest and most powerful form of teaching the mind and touching the heart. As a frequent guest on Oprah, Zukav has also discovered that the American public is starved for grounded information on ethereal topics such as intuition, soulful relationships, and nonhuman teachers.

Soul Stories is a collection of true tales that speak to themes such as “Reincarnation,” “A Higher Form of Reasoning,” “Psychic Archaeology,” “The New Female,” and “Universal Humans.” Some stories come from Zukav's personal experience, like his sister's auto accident and his mother instantly knowing that her daughter was hurt even though they were 100 miles apart. It is tempting to view these 52 tales of fate, coincidence, and sixth sense with an air of doubt. “You have to decide,” Zukav warns. “That means thinking about it and, even more important, discovering what you feel about it. Eventually, you might find that what you feel about a Soul Story is more important to you than what you think about it.” No matter what you feel about the individual tales, you will leave this book trusting that the best way to understand the meaning and mysteries of life is through story. –Gail Hudson
