Soul Stories by Gary Zukav is a really inspiring book that helps you understand why relationships are as they are.
Short Excerpts from Soul Stories
Multisensory Perception
Excerpt from Soul Stories:
When the brochure first came in the mail, the woman did not give it much attention. It was about a conference that was too far away, too expensive, and not about the things that were most interesting to her. The next day, she felt an impulse to read it again, and the next day, too. She could not put it out of her mind, nor the curious feeling that she should attend. Without knowing why, she registered and booked a flight. The first day there she met a man who was struggling with cancer. She had a passionate interest in the healing process. With her assistance, his cancer disappeared, and they coauthored a book on healing.
Where did her impulse come from? She had two systems to provide her with information. The first ? her five senses ? didn't give her information about what might happen at the conference. Another system did. That second system is multisensory perception.
Intuition, Using Intuition
There is no single way to experience intuition. It is different for everyone...Some people have hunches. Some get ideas. Some people hear music, and others see pictures. Some people get sensations, like the feeling of a crisp winter day. Others hear words. Some have conversations, as I did with Grandmother Libby.
Nonphysical Teachers and Nonphysical Reality
Nonphysical Teachers do not tell you what to do. They help you see your opinions. They help you think through your choices. They help you understand what you are feeling and why. They help you to the fullest use of your life. You are still the boss. You still decide what is best for you, and what is not. You may talk a decision over with friends, but when it comes time to make it, it's up to you...
Your Soul
Your mother ship is always attempting to communicate with you. It does not communicate with satellites or computers. It uses your intuition. This is the same system that you use to communicate with Nonphysical Friends and Teachers. Your intuition is like a radio that can receive signals from different stations. Some are Nonphysical Teachers. Others are fellow souls. Another is your own soul.
The Earth School and Reincarnation
The Earth school is a 3-D, full-color, big-screen, multimedia, interactive movie. Getting carried away is easy because it is intimate, exciting, and always changing. If you study this movie ? the Earth school ? like a student of cinema studies movies, you see that nothing in it is accidental. Everything happens for a reason, just as it does in a theater. This movie is your life. The more you use your intuition, the more you see how it is constructed and what it is telling you.
A Higher Form of Reasoning and Justice
Every time you make a decision, something happens. When you make a different decision, something different happens. What happens depends on what you decide. Wherever you look, all that your five senses can see is the movie. You can't see outside the theater, but you can decide what the movie is about. You do that with each of your decisions. This is a very important thing to know because your life is the movie.
Every decision you make causes something to happen. Sometimes it happens right away. Sometimes it takes a while. Either way, you choose. Once you understand this, you can make your movie the way you want it to be.
Emotional Awareness
Becoming aware of your emotions means more than feeling frightened of some things, and feeling angry at others. It means becoming aware of everything that you are feeling. Until you do, there will always be parts of yourself you don't know about. Some of them are angry. If you don't know about them, you will get angry sometimes, whether you want to or not. Some parts of you are frightened. If you don't know about those parts, you will get frightened sometimes, whether you want to or not.
Responsible Choice and Intention
Each choice creates a future. It brings into being one of many possible futures. That is the future you will live in. Even a choice that seems unimportant, like going to a grocery store or not, creates one future and prevents you from experiencing others. You choose your future moment by moment, decision by decision. You do this whether you are aware of it or not.
An intention is not a wish. A wish does not cause anything to happen. An intention does. An intention pushes against the way things are in your life. Those things push back exactly the same way. (Remember, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.) Your intentions create everything you experience.
Harmony, Cooperation, Sharing and Reverence for Life
Doing what other people expect you to do never creates harmony. To create harmony, you have to come closer to people. Doing what you think will please them moves you farther away. Harmony comes from sharing who you are, letting others share who they are, and learning to do that together.
People cooperate because they want to be together, not because they share goals. From the point of view of your soul, cooperation is play.
Your soul always sees friends. That is because it sees beneath the surface. When you see a friend wearing a beautiful dress, do you think she is beautiful because of her dress? When you see her in a dress that you don't like, isn't she still your beautiful friend? When you see with reverence, you see everyone as a beautiful friend.
Authentic Power and Creating Authentic Power
Creating authentic power is a process. Each time you choose harmony, cooperation, sharing, or reverence for Life, you challenge parts of yourself that want other things. They are the parts of you that are angry, sad, jealous, and frightened. The more you challenge them, the less power they have over you, and the more power you have over them. Eventually, their power over you disappears.
That is how authentic power is created ? intention by intention, choice by choice. You can not wish it, pray it, or meditate it into being any more than you can wish, pray, or meditate yourself into being a great baseball player. If you want to bake bread, you have to know how to do it. Then you have to do it.
Forgiveness and Humbleness
Forgiveness and harmony go together. When you forgive someone, nothing stands between you and that person. Even if the person you forgive does not like you, you have laid your suitcases down. You travel lightly.
Cooperation and humbleness always go together. Humbleness is seeing that everyone's path is as difficult as yours and as important. It is not pretending that you are meek or inferior. It is making the music together that cannot be made alone, and that cannot be made without the music that only you, alone, can make.
