Gary Zukav Quotes (37) Spiritual Sayings
About the Author: Gary Zukav (born October 17, 1942, Port Arthur, Texas, United States) is an American spiritual teacher and author of four consecutive New York Times bestsellers. Beginning in 1998, he appeared more than 30 times on The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss transformation in human consciousness concepts presented in The Seat of the Soul. His first book The Dancing Wu Li Masters (1979) won a U.S. National Book Award. Zukav introduces the concept of the alignment of personality with soul as the creation of “authentic power.” He asserts that a transformation of humanity is underway from a species that is limited to the perceptions of the five senses, evolves by surviving, and survives by pursuing “external power,” which he defines as the ability to manipulate and control, into a species that is not limited to the perceptions of the five senses, evolves by growing spiritually, and grows spiritually by creating authentic power. He further asserts that this transformation brings with it the new potential of authentic power and that the pursuit of external power is henceforth counter-productive to our evolution and produces only violence and destruction.
