HarpoAce: Good evening everyone! Welcome to tonight's Remembering Your Spirit LIVE chat with Gary Zukav, author of "The Seat of the Soul." He's here to take your questions on how to empower ourselves through our soul. Send those questions now! Welcome Gary!<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: Greetings, dear friends. My life is dedicated to the birth of a new human species that is now underway. We are transforming from a people who are limited to the five senses and understand power as the ability to manipulate and control into a people who are highly intuitive, heart-centered, and understand power as the alignment of the personality with the soul. That means a species that is in the process of creating a world that is based on harmony cooperation sharing, and reverence for life. I am happy to be here to discuss these matters with you. They are the matters that are dearest to my heart. <BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Hi CRAZYJCR, thank you for coming tonight. You have the first question for Gary Zukav,<BR>
Question: Did you find Oprah or did she find you?<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: We found each other. In my opinion Oprah is a great soul, as are you. Her life is dedicated to empowering people. So is mine. That is why we do things together.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Welcome RMNoone, you've got the next question for Gary Zukav,<BR>
Question: Good Evening Mr. Zukav. Thank you! The book is extraordinary! Your vision/philosophy of the what, the who, and the why of human existence to me is right on target, but, how as a Catholic can I come to terms with reincarnation?<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: Reincarnation exists. This is the day, this is the era, this is the time of empowerment. You cannot become empowered without taking all that you see, feel, hear and are told under the advisement of your own heart. No one call tell your heart what it feels. Empowerment consists of consulting your heart. You may consult your priest or your pope first, but if you act and if you live your life without consulting your own heart you cannot move into your full power. This is true in my opinion for all people. Religion does not affect this dynamic.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Our next question for Gary Zukav, author of "The Seat of the Soul," is from HSC6363,<BR>
Question: How can you continue your own growth when you seem to be surrounded by negativity?<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: Where your attention goes, you go. I am surrounded by beauty. I see it everywhere. I see meaning and purpose in the most tragic appearing of events. This is the perception of the soul. I suggest that it is the perception of your soul. Everything that you encounter has a learning value -- a teaching potential -- that you can utilize. You are on this precious Earth, in order to do just that and to give gifts that your soul desires to give. Look for negativity and you will find it. Set the intention to learn from it and you will. Look for beauty and you will find it. You will also find a learning potential in it. That is how the Earth School works, why not look for beauty?<BR>

OnlineHost: "Seat of the Soul" author Gary Zukav joins us tonight to take your questions about how to honor one's authentic self. Send your questions now!<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Here's our next question!<BR>
Question: What is the mothership of which you spoke on the show? It's a powerful metaphor, but its still unclear to me. Could you please explain once more?<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: The mothership is your soul. When you act without consulting your heart and your intuition, you sail without the guidance of your mothership. When an individual is completely out of touch with his or her mothership we might call that individual an evil person or a schizophrenic person. When an individual is in touch with his or her mothership and is sailing in the same direction that individual is radiant, her life is filled with meaning and purpose. He loves life, and life loves him. To follow your mothership in behavioral terms is to create harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life. These are the things that your soul wants. When you want them too, you are aligned with your soul. That is authentic power. It is sailing! It is sailing in the same direction as and towards the same destination as your mothership. That is your soul.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Thanks for coming Andreajun, here's your question for Gary Zukav,<BR>
Question: My husband was involved in a serious car accident on Aug. 1 and has been in a coma since then. Do you have any words of advice to make this terrible situation better?<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: Honor your husband's path. You cannot see, and I cannot see, all that is coming to conclusion in this event. Therefore, neither you nor I nor anyone else can judge it without creating negative consequences. You may consider this event terrible. That is the perception of the personality. Neither your soul nor the soul of your husband I assure you shares that view.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Hi Aquariu56, here's your question for Gary,<BR>
Question: I just started reading your book and it is quite fascinating. Your words speak directly to my, or from my innermost being. How does one learn to live without judgment? It is such an issue in these times.<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: One technique is to put yourself in the position of the one you are judging consider that his life is as difficult and complex as your own. The Earth school is not an easy place for anyone. Once you see that, you will not be so harsh.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: MSLTRAINER, here you go!<BR>
Question: I have experienced energy and power since I began my journey to "wake up" with your book, as the first of many on enlightenment. My question is, should we offer this book to people who we want to wake up?<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: Use your intuition.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Hi KathrynF3, here's your question,<BR>
Question: How can I go from intellectually understanding to feeling what's true?<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: This is the heart of the matter, no pun. The journey from your head to your heart makes all the difference. Evolution is now on the side of that journey. Since our origin as a species we have evolved through exploring the physical world with our five senses. We understood what we discovered with our intellects. Five sensory exploration and intellectual understanding go hand in hand. All of this now belongs to our past. Our present is different. We are becoming multi-sensory, that means able to perceive each in our own way that this universe is alive. We are learning to understand that with our hearts, not with our heads. It is possible to formulate the idea that the Universe is alive with our minds alone. But it is not possible to experience it without the heart. Our new evolutionary pathway is the alignment of the personality with the soul. This requires the heart. The journey from the head to the heart is one that we are now all making. It is necessary for our survival. This is new in the human experience. I am glad to be on this journey with you.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Hi MSMMTM, you've got the last question for Gary Zukav,<BR>
Question: You use the term "the Divine" with a capital D, such as Divine Intelligence. Is this term meant to be different from "God?"<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: I do not know what the term God means to you, but I know what the term Universe, Light, Life and Love mean to me. They all mean the same thing. And so I use those words. Divine in the sense you are asking your question refers to all of them, it refers to a wise and compassionate Universe. It refers to a Universe of Life, Love and Light.<BR>
<BR>
HarpoAce: Unfortunately, that's all the time we have with Gary Zukav tonight. He'll say a few closing words...<BR>
<BR>
GaryZukav: I have a new web site. It is dedicated to spiritual growth and social transformation. It is www.zukav.com. I am excited about it, the guests that appear on it, and all that it can grow into. Its purpose is to continue this conversation. Its subject is empowerment. Thank you for joining me. Love, Gary.<BR>
<BR>
