Gary Zukav on Multi sensory Perception, The Soul's Purpose
"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. "
~ Gary Zukav ~
"The decisions that you make and the actions that you take upon the earth
are the means by which you evolve."
~ Gary Zukav ~"We are evolving
from five-sensory humans into multisensory humans....
The perceptions of the multi-sensory human
extend beyond physical reality
to the larger dynamical systems of which our physical reality is a part. "
~ Gary Zukav ~"As we become multi sensory,
we move beyond the limitations of the five senses
and we now are evolving to a different mechanism
in the exploration of physical reality."
~ Gary Zukav ~"You cannot find your soul with your mind,
you must use your heart.
You must know what you are feeling.
If you don't know what you are feeling,
you will create unconsciously."
~ Gary Zukav ~"Reverence is an attitude of honoring life.
Reverence automatically brings forth patience.
Reverence permits non-judgemental justice.
Reverence is a perception of the soul."
~ Gary Zukav ~"The soul of an individual; your soul and my soul,
is that part of us that is immortal."
~ Gary Zukav ~ TOPGary Zukav on Authentic Power
"We are evolving from 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."
~ Gary Zukav ~"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."
~ Gary Zukav ~"Illusion holds power over you
when you are not able to remember that you are a powerful spirit
that has taken on the physical experience for the purpose of learning.
It has power over you when you are compelled by
wants and impulses and values of your personality.
It holds power over you when you fear and hate and sorrow
and fester in anger or strike out in rage.
It has NO power over you when you LOVE,
when compassion opens your heart to others,
when your creativity flows unimpeded joyously into the present moment.
In other words, the illusion had no power over a personality
that is fully aligned with the soul."
~ Gary Zukav ~ TOPGary Zukav on Fear, Courage
"The human emotional system can be broken down into roughly two elements:
fear and love.
Love is of the soul.
Fear is of the personality."
~ Gary Zukav - from "Seat Of The Soul" ~"I have come to the conclusion that
until I find and heal the fears in me that I do not know about,
and those that I do know about,
I will not be able to contribute much that will not be part of
the many challenges we face – such as brutality, poverty, drug abuse,
child abuse, abuse of the environment, and abuse of women, to name a few."
~ Gary Zukav ~More quotes on Fear, Courage
TOPGary Zukav on Relationships, Love, Self-Worth, Spiritual Partnership
"
Spiritual Partnership.........
... The new female and the new male
are partners on a journey of spiritual growth.
They want to make the journey.
Their love and trust keep them together.
Their intuition guides them. They consult with each other.
They are friends. They laugh a lot. They are equals.
That is what a spiritual partnership is:
a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth. "
~ from "Soul Stories" by Gary Zukav ~Read Spiritual Partnership Guidelines on Gary's website for more"A power struggle collapses
when you withdraw your energy from it.
Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you
change your intention from winning to learning about yourself."
~ Gary Zukav & Linda Francis - "from"The Heart of the Soul" ~"Lack of self-worth is the fundamental source of all emotional pain.
A feeling of insecurity, unworthiness and lack of value
is the core experience of powerlessness."
~ Gary Zukav & Linda Francis - from "The Heart Of The Soul" ~"Changing the world begins
with the very personal process of changing yourself,
the only place you can begin is where you are,
and the only time you can begin is always now."
~ Gary Zukav ~"Love is the energy of the soul.
Love is what heals the personality.
There is nothing that cannot be healed by love.
There is nothing but love."
~ Gary Zukav ~"When our actions create discord in another person,
we, ourselves, in this lifetime or another, will feel that discord.
Likewise, if our actions create harmony and empowerment in another,
we also come to feel that harmony and empowerment."
~ Gary Zukav ~"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."
~ Gary Zukav ~More quotes on Relationships, Love, Spiritual Partnership
TOPGary Zukav on Creating Consciously, Law Of Attraction, Intention
"By choosing your thoughts,
and by selecting which emotional currents you will release
and which you will reinforce,
you determine the quality of your Light.
You determine the effects that you will have upon others,
and the nature of the experiences of your life."
~ Gary Zukav - from "Seat Of The Soul" ~"You cannot find your soul with your mind,
you must use your heart.
You must know what you are feeling.
If you don't know what you are feeling, you will create unconsciously.
If you are unconscious of an aspect of yourself;
if it operates outside your field of awareness,
that aspect has power over you."
~ Gary Zukav ~"Every intention sets energy into motion
Whether you are conscious of it or not."
~ Gary Zukav ~"An intention is a quality of consciousness
that you bring to an action."
~ From 'The Seat Of The Soul' by Gary Zukav ~"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."
~ Gary Zukav ~"You may seek companionship and warmth, for example,
but if your unconscious intention is to keep people at a distance,
the experiences of separation and pain will surface again and again
until you come to understand that you, yourself, are creating them.
Eventually, you will choose to create harmony and love.
You will choose to draw to you the highest frequency currents
that each situation has to offer.
Eventually, you will come to understanding that love heals everything,
and love is all there is.
The journey may take many lifetimes, but you will complete it.
It is impossible not to complete it.
It is not a question of if but of when.
Every situation that you create serves this purpose.
Every experience that you encounter serves this purpose."
~ From 'The Seat Of The Soul' by Gary Zukav ~More quotes on How Thoughts Create Reality, Law of Attraction
TOPGary Zukav on Forgiveness & Self-Responsibility
"Forgiveness is not a moral issue.
It is an energy dynamic...
Forgiveness means that you do not carry the baggage of an experience.
When you choose not to forgive,
the experience that you do not forgive sticks with you.
When you choose not to forgive,
it is like agreeing to wear dark, gruesome sunglasses that distort everything,
and it is you who are forced every day
to look at life through those contaminated lenses
because you have chosen to keep them."
~ Gary Zukav from 'Theh Seat Of The Soul' ~"When you assume responsibility for what you experience
and share what you experience in a spirit of companionship,
that is the same as forgiveness.
When you hold someone responsible for what you experience,
you lose power."
~ From 'The Seat Of The Soul' by Gary Zukav ~"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."
~ Gary Zukav ~More quotes on Forgiveness
TOPGary Zukav on Belief, Perception
"Truth is that which does not contaminate you, but empowers you.
Therefore, there are degrees of truth, but, generically,
truth is that which can do no harm.
It cannot harm."
~ Gary Zukav - from "Seat Of The Soul" ~"Morality is a human creation.
The Universe does not judge."
~ Gary Zukav ~ Author of 'Seat Of The Soul' ~"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."
~ Gary Zukav ~"Do not insist that the universe comply
with your understanding of it."

TOPGary Zukav on Religion, God, Spirituality
"We have always been involved in spiritual evolution.
We are spiritual beings,
we have always been spiritual beings
and we will always be spiritual beings."
~ Gary Zukav ~"Evil needs to be understood for what it is:
the dynamic of the absence of Light.
It is not something that
one should prepare to battle, to run from, or to outlaw."
~ Gary Zukav - from "Seat Of The Soul" ~"The place to begin the task of eliminating evil
is within yourself."
~ Gary Zukav - from "Seat Of The Soul" ~"There is no scientific way to validate
anything that I or you can say about the soul
because science cannot validate the existence of the soul
any more that it can prove the existence of God."
~ Gary Zukav ~ More quotes on Religion, God
TOPGary Zukav on Faith, Trust
"Acceptance without proof
is the fundamental characteristic of Western religion,
Rejection without proof
is the fundamental characteristic of Western science."
~ Gary Zukav ~"Trust allows you to give, Giving is abundant.
Trust allows the experience of bliss. Bliss is awakefulness.
Trust allows you to laugh. Laugh at the richness, the beauty and
the playfulness of the universe.
Apply consciousness to this process and all roads will lead to home."
~ Gary Zukav ~More quotes on Faith, Trust
TOPGary Zukav on Difficulties
"Pain by itself is merely pain,
but the experience of pain couples with an understanding
that the pain serves a worthy purpose as suffering.
Suffering can be endured because
there is a reason for it that is worth the effort.
What is more worthy of your pain than the evolution of your soul?"
~ From 'The Seat of the Soul' by Gary Zukav ~"When you welcome your emotions as teachers,
every emotion brings good news,
even the ones that are painful."
~ Gary Zukav & Linda Francis - from "The Heart Of The Soul" ~"When you feel an emotion such as despair or in a depression,
that is a low frequency current of energy. It has very little energy.
And someone who is in despair or in a depression soaks up energy."
~ Gary Zukav ~"There would be no accumulation of strength inside
if the choices that you make
did not require disipline and intention."
~ Gary Zukav ~"You cannot, and will not, encounter
a circumstance, or a single moment,
that does not serve directly and immediately
the need of your soul to heal."
~ Gary Zukav ~"There comes a time when the pain of continuing
exceeds the pain of stopping. At that moment, a threshold is crossed.
What seemed unthinkable becomes thinkable.
Slowly, the realization emerges that
the choice to continue what you have been doing
is the choice to live in discomfort,
and the choice to stop what you have been doing
is the choice to breathe deeply and freely again.
Once that realization has emerged,
you can either honor it or ignore it, but you cannot forget it.
What has become known can not become unknown again."
~ Gary Zukav ~More quotes on Difficulties
