Celestine Prophecy--what do you think?
| Thu, 02-23-2006 - 6:02pm |
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else on this board has read the Celestine Prophecy books and how you felt about them?
I just finished the first one and am now beginning the Tenth Insight.

I haven't read them, but I've lost count of the number of times I've run across that title recently.
I like the whole series. They were very helpful books at one point on my spiritual journey. The workbooks that go with the books were very useful, also. :)

It's been quite a while since I read them, but keep in mind that they are novels.
So far I've enjoyed the theory behind the message of the Celestine Prophecy. I know they are novels, but I believe they were written that way that would make it easier to bring the message through to us, the audience. Reading the first book was very enlightening to me, so many of the insights actually answered many questions I've had in my life. I am one of those restless individuals on a path of uncertainty. There is a movie coming out in April, The Celestine Prophecy, and I want to make an effort to go see it. It feels as though I was meant to read these books at this time for a certain reason that is unseen yet. Someone introduced these books to me years ago and I scoffed at them and now I look back and I see I just wasn't ready for the message. I guess now I am.
"Astral planes and parallel realities, quantum physics and quantum mechanics all point towards the theory of the vibration of matter as the determining factor in the concept of "reality." I believe if the theory were true, our pitiful human society would be quite a low spot in the vibration spectrum! "
The concept of "Seven Heavens" ties into this, as we raise ourselves to each new level our vibratory level increases, or, rather, as we move toward enlightenment our vibratory rate increases and we are thus attracted to a higher level, or heaven, with like souls, unification with God is the highest heaven and the highest vibratory rate. This plane of existance is a very low vibratory rate. This is why we normally can't see spirits here, especially God, His vibratory rate is just too high.
Edgar Cayce once said in a reading that there were nine different dimensions inhabited by souls, and I think that modern string theory now theorizes that there are as many as nine dimensions.
I'm not positive, but I think Kevin used to have a write up on this concept somewhere on his web site....I'm not sure exactly where, he had a lot of good material on esoteric subjects besides near death but I think he moved some of it.

i think I have 2 of the books in the series and I had no idea that there are even workbooks to accompagny them.
All I know is? that on several occassions, I needed something and practiced the theory of the book.and it worked greatly.
So much so actually in one instance that (hihihi) our troublesome neighbours, look at us now askance.. sort of ... we have to watch these people.. They can make things appear out of nothing!!
Besides, I've got a reputation of being odd and weird and best kept at a save distance.. hihi, one never knows right?
Anyway? The library of congress in washington, has not labled these books as fiction, but you can find them in the libraries in the non fiction areas. Depending on the libraries opinion, they can be found in the following section of the Dewey Decimal system: 813.5420 or 936.1754
But it is somewhat confusing assss... the cataloguing is also saying that it is 'fiction'
typical.. as I remember correctly from my librarywork days.
anyway.. I have brought into practice the idea of the books and all I can say? it worked for me! I just have a great deal of difficulty reading the stories, as they seemed to be geared to childrens instead of adults.. I mean the way the story is told is sooo simplistic, that it drives me batty.
my 2 cents worth.. greets from brush
Hallo Stef
did you read the books by Dave (I think!) Millman (am sure of that one) The first book, I think was called: The way of the peaceful Warrior? and all the others he wrote as well? Must say, tis similar, at least the idea, I feel it that way, and anyway, I have simply tried it and the results have made a convert of my hub, when he lost something and was realy realy stuck, so stuck that he yelled for me "to do that thing" hihi, am still grinning about that!! but it gave those neighbours of ours, the heebee geebees.
I am the one, in the family (my side and his) who is considered odd... but then.. I don't have the probs the others all have..
Can only say, this way, which I found for myself, this path? aaah, it has helped me greatly in staying content within my skin, after I found it.
It was just very odd, when those books came into my life.. at the time that my motherly-friend and mentor was about to leave this life. She recommended them to me and within a month she was no more!
Tis a realy good thing that this subject has come up here, as I just got a hole of the 2nd book by Dave Millman too.. Perhaps, tis a time in my life, to re-read those books and do some things, which need to be done..
Sometimes, I can see, that things repeat themselves.... and when it does, to learn another lesson and grow a little more.
Would you mind terribly? to send me an email? at: powderbrush@yahoo.ca? to tell me the titles and isbn nrs? of the workbooks? please? Would really enjoy having them and see if I could still purchase them via Amazon.com or dot ca..
Many thanks for mentioning those workbooks. Further? or last but not least? mmm, you did make me think, that there was perhaps a special purpose that the books were written the way they were.. but I think? that the teenagers these days? are a lot smarter and swifter, than I was at their age! Anyway, the importance I think? is that they will reach the people who need them for their path.

stefsnyd-
you may find this interesting, a number of Solomon's readings mentioned Cayce and overall his readings built on the Cayce theology...
