The Seat of the Soul Institute was founded by Gary and Linda in 2002. It's mission is to assist people worldwide in creating authentic power - the alignment of the personality with the soul. The institute sponsors a three year program - the Authentic Power Program (APP) - which is the most in-depth and comprehensive program on authentic power on the planet. For information, learn more about the APP at www.seatofthesoul.com.

He has offered spiritual insights and guidance to many viewers during his frequent visits on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

• An authentically empowered person is humble. This does not mean the false humility of one who stoops to be with those who are below him or her. It is the inclusiveness of one who responds to the beauty of each soul. ...It is the harmlessness of one who treasures, honors, and reveres life in all its forms.

• Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.

• The purpose of our journey on this precious Earth is now to align our personalities with our souls. It is to create harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life. It is to grow spiritually. This is our new evolutionary pathway. The old pathway –pursuing the ability to manipulate and control—no longer works. It now produces only violence and destruction.

• Whatever you call your path, it is not spiritual if your interactions are not becoming more conscious and more loving.

• The world now pivots on a point and that point is in you.

• Try to realize that what stands between you and a different life are matters of responsible choice.

• We are evolving form a species that pursues external power into a species that pursues authentic power... Authentic power has its roots in the deepest source of our being. An authentically empowered person is incapable of making anyone or anything a victim. An authentically empowered person is one who is so strong, so empowered, that the idea of using force against another is not a part of his or her consciousness.

• If you wish the world to become loving and compassionate, become loving and compassionate yourself. If you wish to diminish fear in the world, diminish your own. These are the gifts that you can give.

• Emotions reflect intentions. Therefore, awareness of emotions leads to awareness of intentions. Every discrepancy between a conscious intention and the emotions that accompany it, points directly to a splintered aspect of the self that requires healing.

• When you interact with another, an illusion is part of this dynamic. This illusion allows each soul to perceive what it needs to understand in order to heal.

• Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality.

The best way to get started with Gary Zukav is to read The Seat of the Soul. Zukav alleges that the human species is in the midst of a great transformation of consciousness, evolving from a species that is limited in its perception to the five senses and understands power as the ability to manipulate and control—“external power”—to one that is not limited to the perceptions of the five senses and understands power as the alignment of the personality with the soul —“authentic power.”

In the book, Zukav discusses the transformation of human consciousness from five-sensory to “multisensory” and provides the tools to create “authentic power,” the alignment of the personality with the soul. The Seat of the Soul is valuable and thought-provoking because it tries to describe the evolution of human consciousness through the expansion of our senses into the realm of intuition, spiritual guidance, and self-responsibility.

Zukav believes that humans are immortal souls first, physical beings second, and that we grow spiritually by using emotional awareness, responsible choice, intuition, and trust to create a life of meaning and joy. His book, Soul Stories, is an excellent follow-up to The Seat of the Soul, and I recommend it as the second place to go. Soul Stories includes 52 short stories of how intuition and spirit are part of people’s lives.
