WRITTEN & SELF PUBLISHED IN 1993 BY JAMES REDFIELD. HE INITIALLY SOLD 100,000 COPIES OUT OF THE “TRUNK OF HIS CAR” AND THEN IT WENT ON TO BECOME AN ENORMOUS BEST SELLER.
“The book was generally well received by readers and spent 165 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list. The Celestine Prophecy has also received some criticism, mostly from the literary community, who point out that the plot of the story is not well developed and serves only as a delivery tool for the author’s ideas about spirituality. James Redfield has admitted that, even though he considers the book to be a novel, his intention was to write a parable, a story meant to illustrate a point or teach a lesson.”
( WIKIPEDIA-Hard to lie about this one since it is easily verified but of course they had to diss it a little bit).
AND MORE INFO ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS BOOK
“After the self-published book was brought to the attention of Warner Books through a perceptive sales rep, Warner bought the rights and published the hardcover edition in March 1994, propelling the book to became one of modern publishing’s greatest success stories. According to Publishing Trends, in 1995 and 1996 The Celestine Prophecy was the #1 American book in the world and the #1 international bestseller of 1996 (#2 in 1995). This phenomenal novel spent over 3 years on the New York Times best sellers list. In 1996, an eagerly awaited sequel, The Tenth Insight: Holding The Vision, also became an instant bestseller. The two books spent a combined 74 weeks on the New York Times list.”

IS IT JUST “COINCIDENCE” THAT “THE CELESTINE PROPHECY” SOLD SO MANY COPIES ON THE EVE OF THE GREAT AWAKENING THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON? OR PERHAPS MANY PEOPLE “RESONATED” WITH THE MESSAGE OF THIS BOOK AND PERCEIVED THE SPIRITUAL/METAPHYSICAL NATURES OF THEIR LIVES THAT HAD BEEN STIFLED. IT SERVED AS AN ESCAPE FROM THE MATERIALISTIC OVERLAY THAT HAD BEEN PLACED UPON THEM BY THE “MATRIX OF EVIL” THAT THEY KNEW LITTLE ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO BUT THROUGH INTUITION MANY KNEW THAT LIFE WAS A “SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE”. DID GOD INSPIRE THIS BOOK AS A “PRIMER” FOR THE GREAT AWAKENING?
MR. REDFIELD’S BOOK IS GENERALLY CLASSIFIED AS “NEW AGE” BUT AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE THE CABAL HAS CONSTRUCTED AN ARTIFICIAL POLARITY BETWEEN “NEW AGERS” AND CHRISTIANS. AS DISCLOSURE PROCEEDS I THINK WE WILL FIND THAT JESUS ADDRESSED MANY THINGS NOW CLASSIFIED AS “NEW AGE”. WE CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE 3 YEARS OF HIS MINISTRY IN CANONIZED SCRIPTURE. MUCH MORE IMO WILL BE REVEALED.
(WHILE THE CELESTINE PROPHECY SPEAKS OF “9 INSIGHTS” WE NOW KNOW MUCH MORE. I KNOW I COULD ADD A FEW MORE TO HIS NINE AND HE COULD AS WELL I’M SURE BUT HIS INSIGHTS ARE GOOD AND WORTH READING/STUDYING. ONE THING I WOULD POINT OUT HOWEVER IS HOW OFTEN THE WORD EVOLUTION IS USED WHEN THE WORD ASCENSION WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE IN THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT THE WORD ASCENSION MEANS BACK THEN OR NOW AS I HAVE NOTED IN A PREVIOUS BLOG POST ON MY SITE: https://thanatopianinstitute.wordpress.com/2022/09/24/getting-off-the-hamster-wheel/
FOR THOSE THAT DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO READ “THE CELESTINE PROPHECY” I HAVE LINKED A SITE THAT SUMMARIZES IT (https://greengypsyblog.wordpress.com/2018/11/09/the-celestine-prophecy-the-9-insights/.
Q POSTS: “DO YOU BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES?”79 POSTS WITH THIS QUESTION. MANY OF THE EVENTS AND THINGS SPOKEN OF COULD EASILY BE UNDERSTOOD AS COINCIDENCES BUT Q IS KNOWN FOR DOUBLE/TRIPLE MEANINGS AND I THINK Q WAS GIVING US A LESSON IN HOW GOD/HOLY SPIRIT OPERATES WITH HIS EMPHASIS ON THE WORD “COINCIDENCE”. I THINK WE WILL BE VERY SURPRISED TO EVENTUALLY FIND OUT WHO WAS ON THE Q TEAM IMO.
I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND ONE OTHER BOOK THAT I THINK CAN GIVE US SOME GOOD INSIGHTS ABOUT LIVING IN THE NOW CALLED “HERE AND NOW” BY HENRI NOUWEN. IN MANY WAYS THESE 2 BOOKS COULD BE CLASSIFIED AS “PRIMERS” FOR THE GREAT AWAKENING AND THE ASCENSION OF EARTH.
(NOTE: DURING MY SEMINARY YEARS AND BEFORE AND AFTER I HAVE LEARNED MANY THINGS THAT SUPPORT THE BASIC GOSPEL MESSAGE WHETHER THE AUTHORS WERE SECULAR OR “RELIGIOUS”. MY READINGS AND RESEARCH HAVE ONLY SERVED TO DEEPEN MY FAITH AND UNDERSTANDINGS).
PARTIAL LYRICS FOR “SINGING SKIES AND DANCING WATERS” THAT MAYBE SOME CAN RELATE TO:
So many years ago, I can’t remember now
Someone was waiting for me
I had the answers to all of my questions
Love was so easy to see, I didn’t know
When I was younger, I should have known better
I thought nothing was new
Through all the spaces, and all of the changes
What I lost sight of was you
I didn’t know, I didn’t know
I could see you in singing skies and dancing waters
Laughing children growing old
And in the heart and in the spirit
And in the truth when it is told
