## Resource

Join the Seat of the Soul monthly newsletter and receive weekly, wisdom filled, insights from Gary: https://seatofthesoul.com/soul-connections-newsletter/ In this episode, Gary Zukav responds to a deeply personal question from a listener who has spent a lifetime feeling unseen and judged - a tall, big‑boned woman born with leg deformities who believes her physical experience may be karmic but does not know what for.

(05:30) — Gary reframes karma not as punishment but as an exquisite gift - her experiences have prepared her to see others as souls rather than appearances, with uncommon generosity and without judgment. (07:19) — Gary closes by reminding us that no aspect of a personality appears by accident.…
