In 2004 I read the experiential guide. I decided to put it to the test. I bought in to insight about getting energy from nature. I was at a camp ground, a friend of mine had a lot and said we should go to a campsite that another friend had just sold.. meet the new owner. The lot had a bunch of neon lights because the previous owner was a glass bender at a sign company. It had a raised firepit that was a four foot tractor rim. So it was fairly well lit. Before we got to the site I decided to walk to a picnic table on an adjacent hill and sit on a picnic table.
I sat down and started focusing on the trees, appreciating their beauty and thanking them for being. I did this for a few minutes. I started to see there aura. I kept it up and felt a oneness.
Then it felt like the top of my head was highly statically charged. It almost felt like a vibration or buzz. I stayed focus on the trees feeling the oneness, the buzz went from the top of my head to all over my body. I sat there feeling the buzz accompanied by an overwhelming joy. After a minute or two of this I decided I was going to walk to the fire. I walk right up to the fire and stood shoulder to shoulder between the new owner and my friend. I stood there for a couple minutes when some lady on the other side of the fire said something.
I thought about what she said and I lost the buzzing sensation. The second that happened the people standing beside me both moved away startled. The owner the site ask where did you come from. I said I had been standing there for a couple minutes. He said no, you just materialize out of nowhere. I almost laughed turning around to see my friend. He had a blank expression on his face and said " you were just like poof there you were" The owner was so freaked out he made us leave.

This is based off of ‘The Secret Doctrine’ by H.P.Blavatsky. It made me think of The Celestine Prophecy. It basically takes all historical and religious texts and lays it all out in chronological order throughout history and our near future. It blew my fucking mind, yet it felt like I’ve known this information my entire life! It’s just one of those things that you know is true the moment you hear it. (Which I’m assuming is why your here.) Anyways, at the end of this documentary it talks about the significant changes that will take place during our current age of Aquarius and over the next 2,000 years. Most of those changes line up with the book! And the next “focal point” of our spiritual evolution is supposed to take place in South America! I-just…… please watch it and give me your feedback! Here’s the link. It’s pretty lengthy but if completely worth it.

Hey y'all, as the title states, brand new to this sub as well as the ideas put forth in The Celestine Prophecy. What recommendations would y'all make to further my study and growth in these principles?

hiiii💞 I'm looking for more books or authors to continue reading. I've just finished reading the the celestine prophecy and the experiencial guide! If you are looking for some new books aswell I recomend the "Golden Book of Saint Germain" and Conny Mendez's "Power Through Metaphysics" 🌙 sending u all love

Hi all! I’m looking for groups meet up that discuss the Celestine Prophecy over the phone. Does anyone know of any official groups that do something like this?

Delve into the Key Insights Living the Celestine Prophecy for a daylong workshop March 16 in Highland Park Il at Infinity Foundation. On March 15 watch the film Celestine Prophecy with James Redfield live with a Q & A after the film on March 15. For more info. Www.InfinityFoundation.org

This post contains no new information that wasn't already covered in Redfield's books or in my re-syntheses of his Fourth and Fifth Insights, and is merely a visual summary to help us see how everything fits together.

The four archetypal strategies for fighting for energy were introduced in The Celestine Prophecy, and are interrogator, aloof, poor me, and intimidator. With most aggressive on top and most passive on the bottom, they are ordered like this:

The concept of the lower and higher emotions was introduced in The Tenth Insight. Organizing emotions based on which strategy for energy competition they align with, we can lay out the eight emotions like this:

Previous Insight

This Insight is about climbing out of the four lower emotions into the four higher emotions, from a state of war to a state of peace.

The lower emotions waste energy, and, if one lets them run free, one eventually returns to a state of depression, from which it is hard to rise because one hasn't much energy to feel any strong motivating emotion. So, the logical path to take, in order to gain enough energy to have a chance to glimpse the higher emotions, is to fight against the urge to vent these emotions. Instead, one must try to observe them, to feel them, but to not act them. For those addicted to acting out certain dramas, this is a long and difficult process of overcoming these ingrained patterns, of overcoming these energy-spending addictions.

Once the dramas are halted, energy is no longer always spent as soon as it is obtained, and accumulates. Once it builds up to a high enough level, a higher emotion will arise instead, and one now can give in to the urge, and begin dancing and singing the higher level dramas of peace.

When a stable connection to the higher source of energy is achieved, one exists in a state of love with one's surroundings, and, most importantly, one's own body, appreciating their beauty. In such a state, there is a continuous influx of energy from the divine higher source, and so one can afford to give it away freely. Now, when one interacts with others who are still locked in the four lower emotions, one can use the four higher emotions of lust, awe, love, and grief, which, unlike interactions powered by the lower four lower emotions, give more energy than they take.

From such a state of love, the world views that one would attempt to share are now not imposed with rage, but offered as gifts, given with the emotion of love. Thus, the interrogator archetype has been liberated to a healer.

And, given enough love, the aloof archetype is likewise liberated, so that one stops laughing off the invading world view, and instead, actually inspects the defended view and allows it to be cried away with the emotion of grief.

Or, when one listens to and integrates a new, divinely rooted, liberating world view, one experiences the emotion of lust as one's sense of freedom expands. Thus, the fearful poor me archetype is liberated into a listener who willingly takes whatever is fed to them.

And, finally, one can join in the sharing of an extremely profound world view by awefully echoing it, just as a chorus echoes a lead singer. Thus, the thrill-powered intimidator archetype is liberated into experiencing power that is aligned with others, rather than opposed to them.

As the Third Insight shows, we are all made of a conscious energy, which many artists have depicted as having sixteen archetypal colors, expressed through the sixteen court cards of the Tarot.

Related to these sixteen colors are the eight emotions, depicted in their raw, untamed forms by the eight child court cards, and in their controlled, tamed forms by the eight adult court cards.

These eight emotions can be further categorized into the four lower emotions and the four higher emotions.

When the energy economy is in a state of war, people are not well connected to the higher source of the conscious energy, and so they can only obtain it reliably from other people. Thus, energy is a scarce resource that is fought over and dwindles over time as it is sacrificed through conflict, and is replenished only in brief bursts of love which do not last.

The emotions that drive this conflict are the four lower emotions of fear, rage, thrill, and mirth. It is through these emotions that people live when they are not connected to the higher source. All four of these emotions are lossy, meaning that there is a net loss of energy back to the higher source, leaving the people involved in the conflict with an overall lower amount of total energy.

Rage is used to forcefully impose a world view. When enough energy is directed into a world view through rage, it pulls the energy of others into the same world view. The energy spent imposing this desired world view is lost back to the higher source, but the energy siphoned from others is gained as they are forced to withdraw energy from their own world views and instead give attention to the angry one. The emotion of rage is thus the fuel for the interrogator archetype, who attacks others' world views and pulls their energy into his own world view.

Mirth, on the other hand, is used to strengthen one's connection to one's own world view relative to another competing one, which is dismissed. Mirth thus acts as a sort of shield against the pull of the angry world view, a lens through which the angry world view is seen as a joke not worthy of consideration. Mirth is thus the driving emotion behind the aloof archetype.

However, if one is lacking sufficient sense of humor to dismiss a rival world view, one is forced to give attention to it, with the emotion of fear. Fear is thus the fuel of the process of listening to an opposing world view, and of generating answers and counter arguments to fend off the attacker. Fear is the driving emotion behind the poor me archetype.

Or, again lacking sufficient sense of humor to dismiss a rival world view, someone with sufficient courage can, instead of playing the word game and defending their own world view, simply take whatever is being thrown at them, without any defense, and respond physically rather than verbally, either fleeing or striking back, with the brave emotion of thrill. Thrill is thus the driving emotion behind the intimidator archetype.

Now, what about when there is a surplus of energy?

This Insight throws many readers of the Celestine Prophesy off, because they can't see the energy. The first two times I read the book, I just couldn't take anything from here on out seriously, because I thought the idea of actually seeing the energy was truly fictional.

Except, now I've seen it.

The first time I saw it was after I cried open my third eye, and then for a few seconds, I could see everyone around me, but not just as colored shapes in my visual field, but as actual conscious storms and trees and fires and waterfalls in the energy field that is the landscape of the mind of God.

But alas, the energy required to keep the third eye open is great, in the presence of knowledge of good and evil.

The colors that the third eye sees are often conveyed by artists who draw the court cards of the Tarot. Two decks whose court cards convey these colors particularly well to me are the Thoth Tarot and the Vision Quest Tarot.

The Second Insight in Redfield's book only focused on the last part of history, and only on religion and science. However, history is actually a lot longer than that, and there is a lot more to the story. I'll give a technology-focused version of the story.

To fully understand history, one must put oneself at the time before history started, in the mind of a wild animal. A really good book that can help with this is Kinship with All Life, by J. Allen Boone.

To summarize, though, a wild animal is a very alive being, who knows the mind of God intuitively, having no false knowledge to cut it off therefrom.

The thing that started human evolution was the creation of knowledge. Particularly, the knowledge of good and evil. This created the deep fear, which cut us off from the energy that powers the effortless dancing that the animals do within the mind of God.

Then, a lot of other stuff happened as humans kept using their knowledge to create more knowledge. The whole story goes something like this:

Knowledge of good and evil killed empathy.

Language killed telepathy.

Money killed energy, killed chi.

The compass killed sense of direction.

Maps killed sense of location.

Writing killed memory.

Industry killed craft.

Computers killed thought.

This brings us to the restless, stripped-down mind of the modern human.

Then, from the bottom, the only way to go is back up.

Now, gradually, the things that were killed are re-growing, more robust this time, resistant to all of these cheats that have enabled humans to get by without them.

Next Insight

I'm going to try to share a deep insight into life, which I feel corresponds to Redfield's First Insight.

Nothing is meaningless. Randomness doesn't exist.

When physicists study quantum mechanics, the seemingly random behavior is actually a response induced by the skeptical attitude of science. God is simply hiding his/her beauty in apparent randomness.

In fact, nothing is random, and everything is part of the mind of God. Human bodies are like little cities in the world that is God's mind.

So, every coincidence is actually not a coincidence. In God's mind, everything is a message, and an opportunity to receive a gift of insight.
