The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav
1.0
This book is awful.
while I am a fan of spiritual self-help works, and of Zukav's good book on physics 'Dancing Wu Li Masters' - it is surprising to me that this got published.
I muscled through due to Oprah and Maya's recommendations.
It wasn't that Mr. Zukav needed to 'define' works like Evolution, Reverence, Intention, Light, and numerous other perfectly serviceable English words. Because Zukav doesn't seem to have the vocabulary to communicate his ideas, he made a hash of the language.
It wasn't the fact that the entire book is chuck full of hot molten hooey.
Nope. It was howlers like this....
"Just as visible light is one portion, like an octave in a continuum of energy of graduated frequencies that extends below and above what the eye can see, the continuum of nonphysical Like extends below and above, so to speak, the frequency range in which the human exists."
and
"in order to develop and nurtuer your mind and your body,m it is necessary to r4ealize that you have a mind and a body."
Ugh.
One saving grace: Chapter 2 - Karma - is a decent explication of this great Hindu concept.
