The Celestine Prophecy

Some books arrive the way certain travelers do in the Celestine Prophecies: not by accident, but by a subtle tug in the fabric of the day. This one found me exactly when it wanted to be found. As I turned its pages, I kept feeling that familiar inner tap on the shoulder, the sense that the story wasn’t teaching me but reminding me of something I’d misplaced between errands and sunsets. The narrative moves like a guide with a half-smile, never quite showing its full hand, yet offering just enough vision to nudge you toward your own insight. Every time an “accident” in the plot aligned with something stirring in my life, I felt the book wink back at me. That was the true adventure: the way fiction began to hum in harmony with reality, as if both were following the same set of ancient instructions. Reading it felt like stepping into a corridor where intuition brightens the walls. The ideas don’t simply sit on the page; they hover around you, re-threading your attention, sharpening your senses to the hidden transmissions we usually scroll past. The prophecies themselves are written like invitations, and by the final chapters I realized I’d been answering them without noticing. This is a story for anyone who suspects their coincidences are messages in disguise, for anyone who’s ever wondered whether our daily wanderings might be orchestrated by something both gentle and wildly intelligent. The Celestine Prophecies doesn’t just tell a tale. It stirs a vibration. It leaves a trail of luminous breadcrumbs. And if you follow them, you may find that the book wasn’t just predicting the characters’ next steps. It was predicting your own. I close it with gratitude and a quiet grin, because somehow I know this review was already forming before I even opened to page one.

I read this book in one day, cover to cover. I knew nothing about it save it was recommended to me. As I read, I grew concerned (pretty quickly) it was a work of fiction, but I read on, expecting to do follow-up research to confirm the ideas and incidents in the book. Part of that research brought me here. Reading the reviews of all the haters was to be expected. Their focus (as always) is on pointless distractions to keep their brain from engaging in the core question: "Why do we exist?" I've seen this repeatedly on every book that brings to light evidence that counters commonly accepted ideals in government, diet and, most often, faith. I found the book fascinating, but it also aligned with many of my current beliefs so I am likely biased. This, in conjunction with Darryl Anka's Bashar, is amazing insight into how things more than likely actually work. It makes logical sense. It is not faith based, but it still supports many of the faith based principles in a measurable way (namely Jesus Christ, his miracles, and what he meant by "this too shall you do and more"). Scientists have proven that communing with plants makes them stronger. Certain music (vibrations) physically impacts plant growth, sleep, brain wave patterns, etc. We have shown and measured the ability some have to alter their bodies pace of healing, heart rate, and temperature using nothing but thought / meditation. Then, we have repeated themes in pop culture - even Star Wars with the Jedi and the Force (the original three) - their ability to manipulate energy. Lucas's imagination is surprisingly aligned with these ideas aside from the fighting. The Matrix is another, although, this book does not cover the shared dream aspect... Factually, energy is the one thing that everything breaks down to. Everything you see is networks of variously connected atoms vibrating at frequencies that our brains perceive as a rock, or a collection of complex molecules that work together and fly as a bird, etc. It's all energy on the most basic level. You can read this book and focus on the negatives and tear it apart - or you can read it with an open mind consuming the information which is very empowering and some of it obviously true. Happy reading!

Someone (OK. Many) said this better than I can, but here goes anyway... This book spent over 3 years on the "New York Times'" Best Seller list because it speaks so powerfully to so many of us. There are some to whom the ideas in this book are old hat. Fine. They don't need it. But to those of us who found revelation in this book. We are either new to the insights it has gathered and collated from so many religions, philosophies, psychologies and spiritualities, or we have never tied them together before. OK, First here's my own SPOILER ALERT. This is easily the worst-written book I have ever read. I'm no Literary Critic, so I can't articulate why it's so bad, but you'll know as soon as you start to read it. PLEASE don't let that stop you. (In fact, you can do what I did. Be amused by it! Try to imagine how you could have written a passage worse than Redfield did. Bet you can't.) You have to slog through this truly bad writing to get to the nuggets, even veins, of gold. The book puts forth fascinating ideas. There are what Redfield calls "synchronisities," coincidences that some of us instinctively recognize and act upon, which advance our lives in positive directions. There's the concept of Energy. He talks about personal energies and personal "dramas," the outward manifestations of our inner struggles with energy, and how the dramas of others can interact with and affect us. One of the most interesting of his theories is that individual poeple and mankind as a whole are beginning to evolve, spiritually. That theory has helped me explain and understand why some peoples seem so savage and brutal...They haven't evolved as far as we have. There's a lot of stuff about auras, which doesn't speak to me, but may to you. I have this book and "The Four Agreements," by Don Miguel Ruiz on my Kindle and iPhone, for occasional reference and insight. Bet you will, too.

A nice book to think about the happenings in your life and the meaning you wish to associate with. Nothing is by accident. Your fate is guided by things that happen in your life - you must be open enough to embrace and learn what it must teach you. Dont like the thriller wanna be part of the book but the main idea is great :)

I am not a fan of any “fiction” books. (Fiction is in quotations here because there is so much truth and wisdom in this book). As an exclusively non fiction book reader, The Celestine Prophecy was forced upon me by a spiritual coach. I read it and actually quite enjoyed it. It is a spiritual book that you can apply into your everyday life. I would give it 4.5 stars based on my non fiction preference but I will round it to 5.

Me encantó. El libro aterriza muy práctico cómo elevar la consciencia propia y de la humanidad. Es un libro que todos deberíamos leer. Entre más pronto, mejor.

En perfecto estado! Can’t wait to read it!

One of the best and easy to read books for the seekers who are on a Spritual path and sometimes look for answers like, am i stuck ? Or why things are happening the way it has been happening and where am i being lead to ? Most people will relate to the book because the book is the mirror and reflects the journey of a seeker no matter where you are from and what religion or sect you follow. The inner journey is same for all of us and hence the books takes us further and inspires us to keep trusting the life’s intelligence and that life has a plan for all of us. We are not alone. If you find the book intresting then do read the next 3 parts as well. Reading all the parts will give you a complete and accurate picture of what Mr. James is trying to share. 1. Celestine Prophecy 2. The Tenth insight 3. The Secrets of Shambhala 4. The Twelfth inside.
