In August, I completed The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav.
As Zukav was able to explain scientific principles without the use of mathematics in an earlier, award-winning piece, he is able to explain the evolution of the collective human spirit without the use of religious dogma.
While I took much of the philosophical statements to be the author's own, it was conveyed in an authentic manner rather than a sermon from the pulpit or that of an intellectual who has spent a lifetime curating works of others and digesting those words into a condensed version for the masses. Rather, I felt the author searched himself and sought knowledge from the lessons of his own experience. I was further engaged by his soft and pleasant voice, one of the unique benefits of audiobooks over the written page. Through this, his words came across as authentic and compelling as he illustrated the difference between external and internal power or the differences between physical and spiritual perception.
