(the||- Celestine Prophecy -||thread)

This book really..changed things for me. Opened me up spiritually. Suddenly I was aware of some awesome metaphysical stuff. Heh. James Redfeild is freaking awesome. He's written quite a few other books too.


The first book is supposedly based on ancient Mayan/Babylonian texts. I dont know if this has been verified. But the energy transferrance stuff really seems to work. Theres 10 insights published so far. Heres the 3rd. Its my fAV :D

[align=center]Third insight
A new understanding of the physical world: humans will learn to perceive what was formerly an invisible type of energy.
The basic stuff of the universe, at its core, is a kind of pure energy that is malleable to human intention and expectation in a way that defies our old mechanistic model of the universe--as though our expectation itself causes our energy to flow out into the world and affect other energy systems.
Human perception of this energy first begins with a heightened sensitivity to beauty.
The perception of beauty is a kind of barometer telling each of us how close we are to actually perceiving the energy.
When something strikes us as beautiful, it displays more presence and sharpness of shape and vividness of color. It stands out. It shines. It seems almost iridescent compared to the dullness of other objects less attractive.
The next level of perception is to see an energy field hovering about everything.
Plants which have the most direct conscious human attention are more potent and grow faster than plants which do not get conscious attention.
Plants grown in this way, when ingested, increase the body's efficiency dramatically.
Two periods of the day most conducive to seeing energy fields: sunrise and sunset. How to begin:
Touch the tips of index fingers together, with blue sky in background.
Separate the tips about an inch and look at the area directly between them.
Take eyes out of focus a bit and move the tips closer, then apart.
Once humans learn to observe energy fields, our understanding of the physical universe will quickly transform.
We would become conscious that certain localities radiate more energy than others, the highest radiation coming from old natural environments, especially forests [/align]

I read that book when The 10th Insight was about to come out. Someone on these forums said that's good, too, but I haven't read it.

When someone cheers you on in a sport you get more energy, not that it has anything to do with metaphysical just you mood and perception. Don't get yourself too caught up in that stuff.

last night i was just talking about the energy of the universe and the interraction of the energy with people.
everything you wrote about in your insight, is exactly what i was talking about and thinking about. i don't really know what else to say, but it's really good to hear that someone else was thinking the same thing, and understands what i was thinking.

I had that book and lent it to a friend, four years ago.

I think the 7th Insight was an important one for me, but it was a long time ago.

I was given the book "third-hand" and it had notes from the original owner and my sister in it. I might have the notes, somewhere.

I had a list of the 9 "Insights". Could someone post them on this thread?

Or would that be copyright-infringement?

1. A Critical Mass
A new spiritual awakening is occurring in human culture, an awakening brought about by a critical mass of individuals who experience their lives as a spiritual unfolding, a journey in which we are led forward by mysterious coincidences.

2. The Longer Now
This awakening represents the creation of a new, more complete worldview, which replaces a five-hundred-year-old preoccupation with secular survival and comfort. While this technological preoccupation was an important step, our awakening to life's coincidences is opening us up to the real purpose of human life on this planet, and the real nature of our universe.

3. A Matter of Energy
We now experience that we live not in a material universe, but in a universe of dynamic energy. Everything extant is a field of sacred energy that we can sense and intuit. Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing our attention in the desired direction...where attention goes, energy flows...influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives.

4. The Struggle for Power
Too often humans cut themselves off from the greater source of this energy and so feel weak and insecure. To gain energy we tend to manipulate or force others to give us attention and thus energy. When we successfully dominate others in this way, we feel more powerful, but they are left weakened and often fight back. Competition for scarce, human energy is the cause of all conflict between people.

5. The Message of the Mystics
Insecurity and violence ends when we experience an inner connection with divine energy within, a connection described by mystics of all traditions. A sense of lightness - buoyancy - along with the constant sensation of love are measures of this connection. If these measures are present, the connection is real. If not, it is only pretended.

6. Clearing the Past
The more we stay connected, the more we are acutely aware of those times when we lose connection, usually when we are under stress. In these times, we can see our own particular way of stealing energy from others. Once our manipulations are brought to personal awareness, our connection becomes more constant and we can discover our own growth path in life, and our spiritual mission - the personal way we can contribute to the world.

7. Engaging the Flow
Knowing our personal mission further enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences as we are guided toward our destinies. First we have a question; then dreams, daydreams, and intuitions lead us towards the answers, which usually are synchronistically provided by the wisdom of another human being.

8. The Interpersonal Ethic
We can increase the frequency of guiding coincidences by uplifting every person that comes into our lives. Care must be taken not to lose our inner connection in romantic relationships. Uplifting others is especially effective in groups where each member can feel energy of all the others. With children it is extremely important for their early security and growth. By seeing the beauty in every face, we lift others into their wisest self, and increase the chances of hearing a synchronistic message.

9. The Emerging Culture
As we all evolve toward the best completion of our spiritual missions, the technological means of survival will be fully automated as humans focus instead on synchronistic growth. Such growth will move humans into higher energy states, ultimately transforming our bodies into spiritual form and uniting this dimension of existence with the after-life dimension, ending the cycle of birth and death.

10. Holding the Vision
The Tenth Insight is the realization that throughout history human beings have been unconsciously struggling to implement this lived spirituality on Earth. Each of us comes here on assignment, and as we pull this understanding into consciousness, we can remember a fuller birth vision of what we wanted to accomplish with our lives. Further we can remember a common world vision of how we will all work together to create a new spiritual culture. We know that our challenge is to hold this vision with intention and prayer everyday.

11. Extending Prayer Fields
The Eleventh Insight is the precise method through which we hold the vision. For centuries, religious scriptures, poems, and philosophies have pointed to a latent power of mind within all of us that mysteriously helps to affect what occurs in the future. It has been called faith power, positive thinking, and the power of prayer. We are now taking this power seriously enough to bring a fuller knowledge of it into public awareness. We are finding that this prayer power is a field of intention, which moves out from us and can be extended and strengthened, especially when we connect with others in a common vision. This is the power through which we hold the vision of a spiritual world and build the energy in ourselves and in others to make this vision a reality.

i got these from the website. i think citing the page takes care of copyright-infringement. and if not, i'll see you in jail.

I was going to respond to this thread with some insights, but now I dont have the energy to do so.

dude i actually know what their talking about

sorry for double post

Ok im realy sorry i didn't mean to hit enter that time
But if this is true and I beleave it
Why can't i get the message across to my parents that im going to be ok and that just cuase i've smoked pot my life isn't ruined

Nero, nero, nero...

You're missing the point then. If it's just about perceptions, then it's just about perceptions. And this is just as valid an interpretation of reality as any other...

Don't think yourself into a box...

Thought i'd post this here... Similar vein, different flavor...

Has anyone read

Mutant Message from Down Under

?

This is the one that I really like.

3. A Matter of Energy
We now experience that we live not in a material universe, but in a universe of dynamic energy. Everything extant is a field of sacred energy that we can sense and intuit. Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing our attention in the desired direction...where attention goes, energy flows...influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives.

Thanks, Amy.

James says that all religons will eventually merge since all of them are essentially the same. Each one has strengths and by combining them all it would be some kind of ultimate religon.

HmMm Im not sure if it's in the 10th Insight or the original prophecy book or if it was a Mayan prophecy or his own speculation.

Do you think this will begin to happen soon?

It's inevitable. Just like every race is, now, merging and, pretty soon, babies will be born with more and more nationallities, instilled within them.

Already, monotheistic leaders have agreed on God.

I keep thinking of African tribes, and their worship of the Sun God and the Moon God (mental image, not sure about their preferences). When they get hooked up to the internet, people will start agreeing on things.
