The Celestine Prophecy.....By JamesRedfield



An adventure journey into the search for meaning...through the ancient Peruvian manuscript and the spiritual insights it holds.

Summary: (1)With coincidences, (2) we are in the process of constructing a new world view, (3) universe in reality is a vast system of energy and (4)human conflicts are a shortage of and a manipulation for this energy. (5) We could end this conflict by receiving an inpouring of this energy from a higher source. (6) We could clear our old repeated dramas, and find our true selves.(7)Staying in this magic flow is truly the secret of happiness. (8) Knowing how to relate in a new way to others, bringing out in them the very best, was the key to keeping the mystery operating and the answers comming. (9) Revealing where the evolution was taking us.



Points:

The first insight occurs when we take the coincidences seriously. These coincidences make us feel there is something more, something spiritual, operating underneath everything we do.

The second insight institutes our awareness as something real. We can see that we have been preoccupied with material survival, with focusing on controlling our situation in the universe for security, and we know our openness now represents a kind of waking up to what is really going on.

The third insight begins a new view of life. It defines the physical universe as one of pure energy, an energy that somehow responds to how we think.

The fourth exposes the human tendency to steal energy from other humans by controlling them,taking over thier minds, a crime in which we engage because we so often feel depleted of energy, and cut off. This shortage of energy can be remedied, of course, when we connect with the higher source.

The universe can provide all we need if we can only open up to it. That is the revelation of the Fifth Insight.

The basic of 6th was before we could fully enter the special state of mind that so many people were glimpsing - the experience of ourselves moving onward in life guided by mysterious coincidences - we had to wake up to who we really were.

Seven deals with the process of consciously evolving yourself,of staying alert to every coincidence, every answer the universe provides for you.Even to comapare your dreams to your story.

The eighth is about interpersonal ethics, it explains how we can aid others as they bring us the answers we seek. And further it describes a whole new ethic governing the way humans should treat each other in order to facilitate everyone's evolution. As all the answers that mysteriously come to us really come from other people - all around -children/young/old. But remember not to go too fast. Stay centered in your situation. Do'nt become addicted to another person, it stops your growth.

The ninth reveals our ultimate destiny. As humans we are the culmination of the whole evolution. It talks about matter beginning in a weak form and increasing in complexity, element by element evolving into a higher state of vibration.

Also there is another book - The Tenth insight, which is about compassion,forgiveness and tenacity. It talks about the afterlife dimension, where near death experiences occur.

These are explained in each of the chapters viz:

1. A Critical Mass
2. The longer now
3. The matter of energy
4. The struggle for power
5. The message of the mystics
6. Clearing the past
7. Engaging the flow
8. The Interpersonal Ethic
9. The Emerging Culture

Not easily understood in the first go, but indeed very thoughtful.

Thanks a Ton Reshma for sharing such a wonderful book with me!
