The Seat of the Soul: 25th Anniversary Edition with a Study Guide

by Gary Zukav

Every time you ask for guidance, you receive it. Every time you ask yourself, “What is my motivation?”, you ask the Universe, “Help me to see,” and help comes. You may not always be capable of hearing the answers to your questions when you ask them, and the answers may not always come in the ways that you expect, but they always come. Sometimes an answer occurs in the form of a feeling—a yes feeling or a no feeling—sometimes in the form of a memory, or a thought that, at the time, seems random, sometimes in a dream and sometimes in the form of a realization that is prompted by an experience that will occur the next day. No question is unheard, and no question goes unanswered. “Ask and you shall receive” is the rule, but you must learn how to ask and how to receive.

This is how authentic power is acquired. It is built up step by step, choice by choice. It cannot be meditated or prayed into being. It must be earned.

What does it feel like to remember your soul’s task?

Challenge your fears. Fear of growing and of transformation of self is what causes you to want to disengage from the present situation and reach for another.

you are letting energy leak to a future that does not exist.

You can choose through your responses to life’s difficulties to engage the full power of your soul.
