Gary Zukav is a graduate from Harvard, the most
prestigious university in the US, and he served as a soldier in the Vietnam War.
He has described how addictions affected his early life and this created a
subsequent search for personal development that has taken him on a journey that
especially examines power issues within relationships.
His first book, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, won the
American Book Award to Science, and its follow up, The Seat of the Soul, became
the leading New York Times best-selling book 31 times and was listed for 3
years. His later books, The Heart of the Soul and The Mind of the Soul were also
New York Times best-sellers. Gary made regular appearances on the Oprah Winfrey
Show during his writing career and went on to co-found two organisations, The
Seat of the Soul Institute and The Genesis Foundation, both with his spiritual
partner, Linda Francis, who has also co-written books with him.
In this book, Spiritual Partnership, published in 2010,
the author describes how a great transformation in the use of power dynamics is
taking place. The information within the book compares two types of individuals,
the present kind, described as ‘five-sensory’ and a new kind, described as
‘multi-sensory. The ‘five-sensory’ have limited understanding of others and
perceive the world through self-serving goals, and the ‘multi-sensory’ have an
ability to truly love and care for others on an individual and
organisational level. He uses religious, philosophical and psychological
dynamics to underpin his premise and he provides examples from his personal life
and that of others to explain his principles. The overall message is one of how
humankind can change its priorities to ‘heal parts that do not love and
cultivate the parts that do’. Disappointing!
