The Celestine Series
The Secrets To Life?It is an unfortunate reality but we are living in very troubled times, in a culture of fear, as it has been called. Every time we turn on the television or tune into the radio we hear tales of death, destruction, famine terrorism and war. Indeed there are certain governments in the world who seem to wage a war on everything and anything – the war on drugs, the war on under-age pregnancy, the war on terror etc. I’m not saying that these are not noble causes to take a stand against but when any government declares a war on something it makes people nervous. When the popular media then takes up the story and adds its ‘trademark sensationalism’ nervousness becomes fearfulness. Fearfulness often leads to irrationality, irrationality commonly leads to violence and violence makes people nervous… and so starts the vicious cycle again. As a (intelligent) pacifist male with a wife and 2 children I do not have any problem in admitting that I have serious concerns about the state of the world today, in fact to be honest I’m a little bit scared by it. I mean let’s face it, the world, and indeed even the surrounding atmosphere i.e. the ozone layer, is quite literally falling apart around us. It is very easy to feel helpless and hopeless and to wonder what will become of both the earth and of the human race. There is however a shining light emerging from this darkness, a man, who is bringing an entirely fresh perspective on the world and universe around us. He has written many incredible and enlightening spiritual awareness books which have given hope and inspiration to millions of readers around the globe. Some are written as adventure stories, some as accompanying guides and some as straight forward spiritual guidance books. All of them however contain incredible wisdom and knowledge and are helping people to more fully understand not only what they are doing here on earth but how the earth and mankind came into being in the first place. The man I speak of is author and therapist James Redfield Contained within the pages of these books are secrets that have the ability to, and in fact are, changing our world for the better. These secrets stem from 11 key insights into life itself: THE FIRST INSIGHT . . . 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. This awakening represents the creation of a new, more complete world view, 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. We now experience that we live not in a material universe, but in a universe of dynamic energy. Everything existant 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about James Redfield’s writing in general and the way he expresses these insights in particular is that they are presented in such a way that makes them accessible to and attainable by each and every one of us. All that is initially required on our part is an open mind and an open heart. If we enter into reading these works with these 2 qualities then there is every chance that an attitude and indeed life transforming occurrence will happen. If you are interested in enhancing your life, learning and/or understanding more about the mysterious occurrences that you may already be aware of but cannot explain that happen in your life and in finding the potential fulfilment that all of us humans crave then these books are definitely for you. In my humble opinion EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR LIFE, THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL SHOULD REALLY READ THESE BOOKS.
