Imagine a Local College has a first year literary course that challenges students to write an existential action novel by mixing The Davinci Code with Logan's Run and drowning it in Sam Harris's Waking Up (atheistic Buddhist psycho-babble)... then Oprah guarantees the winner will be featured in her book club and it will be strategically placed in the best sellers list...
But the author doesn't get his own joke: so he writes even more books milking this dead cow for all it's worth. (I just guessed at that Oprah crap - turns out i'm a prophet. IT'S PATHETICALLY TRUE)
Oh Crap NO?! There's a movie for this TOO... and many many more books. And a pocket guide?! Imagine sending your kid to school with a Celestine Prophecy Lunch Box? (There's some folks who think this is a masterpiece of Cosmic truth and sociological relevance ---- same thing happened with the Davinci Code. I may have assumed the same when, as a kid, watching Logan's Run for the first time. Farrah Fawcett gets killed in that flick "sniff"... Charlie's Angels was dead to me after that.)
Okay,
So I did the audiobook on this bit of linguistic Poo. Not the good POOH - Like Winnie~
I thought this was gonna be some brilliant historical/theological tale like the Robe or something with chanting Monks (like the Awesome 3rd(?) book of the Odd Thomas series.) but no: it's more like a Steven Seagal low budget movie where he tries to be a Tom Hanks fighting the Vatican Counsel.
Basically, some thin character comes across people referencing THE MANUSCRIPT and then looks for the 10 Buddhist/Confucius like sayings that give Cosmic Ambiguity and light meaning to all of human existence. The author shows us his true understandings by having the CHURCH run around trying to silence and destroy all the manuscripts. And there's some Enlightenment magic Chakras and glowing hippy astral AURAS floating about. (so we know it's TRUE).
the story is kinda light and fun. but the author takes this crap VERY seriously - as do many of his readers... so does his publisher: who allows numerous additions of this buffoonery to hit the stockroom shelves.

This is a great book. After reading it I started to think why people come in and out of my life, why things happen, and I starting looking at my journey through life.

The Celestine Prophecy was a pivotal springboard to writing and working with my co-author, so when I realised there was an Experiential Guide, I was keen to read it! I did find it quite hard-going at times, but it was worth sticking with it. Here’s why.
First of all, the nine insights from ‘the Manuscript’ in the novel are listed at the beginning of the book, so right away you have a handy reference point. Each chapter then summarises the parallel chapter from the novel, before leading the reader into a deeper explanation of each insight and how it can be used in day-to-day life.
The chapters revisit synchronicity; seeing beauty and energy; and connecting with energy. They help you to understand control dramas; how (and why) we get involved in power struggles; and how we can detach from and overcome them, etc.
At the end of each chapter, the authors list a thorough series of exercises suitable for individual and group work, designed to reveal more about your life, your relationships, your energy source, etc., and how to “do the spiritual work” so that you can move forward with more understanding and less competition for energy.
I was able to gain some clarity about a number of relationships and situations in my own life, and I expect I will dip into the ideas again as future life challenges arise.
Overall, a book I can recommend if you are willing to think about what you are reading, and willing to put the time into using what you discover.

This book didn't completely change my life, but it definitely opened my eyes to some things I had never considered before. I find myself recalling some of the lessons of this book as I see current problems in society.

A pretty neat guide to The Celestine Prophecy. It gave me a lot of new perceptions and ideas based on life. I think this book is important for a general reader, along with The Celestine Prophecy, whenever she/he is struck with spiritual questions.
I had first read The Celestine Prophecy in the year 2003, which provided a flame to my inner spark of life, although to say, later on 'other books' written by Taoist and Zen Masters, seemed to be the best ones once one's inner spark is lit.
This accompanying guide was my first-time read along with a re-read of The Celestine Prophecy after ten years. The re-read, I felt, was important to know the left out perceptions of what the book wants to say which I may have failed to undestand a decade ago. And it was certainly worth it. This accompanying guide was very good to find new ways to deal with struggles and situations in our daily lives. However, now it would be the time to get into the 'real' Eastern Philosophy books :)

The key to this GUIDE BOOK is actually doing the work. It takes a lot of time. However, I promise, if you put the work in, you'll be surprised by your personal discoveries.

I would strongly recommend that anyone reading the Celestine Prophecy acquire this book at the same time and use it while reading the aforementioned book: especially those of you that are skeptical about spirituality.
This book offers a condensed summary of each chapter in the Celestine Prophecy, in addition to a discussion about the insights as they appear. Essentially this book is a study guide to assist the reader with the core component of the Celestine Prophecy, the actual insights, with only a minimal story line.
I did like the actual book, but I found this guide to provide more of what I was looking for.

When this book came out, I had already had a number of years of 'spiritual seeking'- reading, talking to people, and reflecting on my own path. There was nothing in this book that was new to me, so I didn't find it lifechanging, or even particularly useful. I did like that it presented spiritual content in an engaging way, and I feel it would be a great introductory book for someone earlier in their spiritual journey.

I was very glad to have read this experiential guide..In fact, I was not very convinced by the novel "Celestine Prophecy", however reading this analysis made me re-think about the transmitted messages and realized that they are really important..Very good read indeed, made me realize the importance of coincidence, everything got a meaning / message in this life!

«The role of love has been misunderstood for a long time. Love is not something we should do to be good or to make the world a better place out of some abstract moral responsibility or because we should give up our hedonism. Finding enough energy to maintain an state of love certainly helps the world, but it most directly helps us. It is the most hedonistic thing we can do».
February 28, 2008
I thought this book was very inspiring to me at a time in my life where I was struggling to find how religion fit into my life. It filled a void, at the time, that I needed, and inspired me to be a better person, see the big picture, and view life as more than a bunch of coincidences.

Bevat meer uitleg over alle inzichten uit het Celestijnse Belofte. Maar ook individuele studies en groepsstudies. Verwijzingen naar andere boeken die aansluiten tot spirituele groei. Veel om uit te leren dus.

This is #1 on my all time favorite books! Once you get outside yourself and your own ego, you can give attention to others and be open to what you can learn from EVERY single person you encounter.

I read this book years ago. It was a great read and loved the story too! I listen to the book and Lou Diamond Phillips read to book, he has a beautiful voice! Easy listening.

A very fast read. The nine points are interesting and make sense.

I happened to order this companion book when I was first going to order The Celestine Prophecy - it's an interesting coincidence considering what a key word synchronicity is throughout the spirit of the book!
It's a good book for those who want to delve into the various insights and get material and questions to reflect on for themselves. Beyond that, it's not as breathtaking as the original, but I'm still grateful to have read this. It's always valuable to remind yourself of what's written, no matter what stage you're at in life.
As it says in the book "Everything in your life has led up to this moment, to you reading this page".
I like how they make otherwise heavy topics easy to understand and I appreciate that it's listed with many other book recommendations to further explore this important topic.

I was recommended this book in a spiritual space, and I immediately downloaded the audiobook to listen. I’ve read a few books like this lately, where spiritual ideas and philosophies are presented in a novel form. Unfortunately I’ve noticed a pattern that this leads to a poorly written melodrama, which doesn’t suit my preferences in gaining insights. It reminded me of the style in “The Way of a Peaceful Warrior,” but not as well done, and I was pretty critical of that one in that regard. The book did have a few good insights, and made me think introspectively, but I felt it played on the same kind of parlor tricks a crock psychic would use to get you to think they are speaking specifically about you. Right in the beginning they speak to coincidences being not just occurrences in life, but as acts of god. Well we all experience coincidences, so depending on my headspace I could decide that, oh my goodness, this book is speaking to ME! A little manipulative. I study codependency, and I noticed the use of classic codependent behavior ( which we all possess as humans) being showcased as ways to connect with the message, when really these are just more “this applies to everyone” characteristics. A few things that stood out that I liked: Treating your kids like humans and not lying to them for fun. This is something I do with my son, not telling him lies for my own personal pleasure. Including the whole Santa/Tooth Fairy/Easter Bunny crap. Sorry, but I don’t want to lie to my kid, and he is still having a wonderful childhood without the mumbo jumbo. I was told that I had a rich uncle who invented the bagel hole who left me a fortune that I would inherit when I was older. I believed in this tale and dreamt of the life I would have with these fortunes. I was devastated when I found out this was some joke my family was playing on me. I forgot all about this until I read this book, I’m kinda pissed again, and it’s a reminder not to put my kid through that. It kind of showcases the way people in power want to control information and control the masses. I don’t think it speaks well to most religious ideologies and I’m all about that, as I think the business of religion is a stain on humanity and is keeping us from real spiritual growth and is used to manipulate people out of money and votes. Gross. Anyway, not my favorite spiritual book, I can see why it was recommended but it just didn't resonate with me because of its poor delivery.
February 26, 2017
The only way I can best describe this book is to compare it to pornography: The plot is thing and strings along in a unbelievable scenarios, only broken up by lengthy detailed scenes of what the director actually created the media for. Much like how the skimpily clad, big bosomed girl with pigtails tells the pizza delivery boy she doesn't have any money and perhaps they could work something out, so does every single person the main character meets ask him about 'the scrolls'...in English...in Peru...and in the correct ascending order. There is absolutely no subtlety. The women need saving. Fucking Gaston is the villain and you clearly know it. Everyone gets arrested and thrown into an actual jail, and then their captors have a change of heart, so let's just let the captives go, shall we? That makes sense.
I respect what message the author was trying to get across. It's sweet. I actually get what you're saying and appreciate it. But you literally wasted my time in this bullshit story in order to do so. This book is classic 1990's TV movie shit. It's really, really terrible. The audiobook was recommended to me because the woman and her husband thought it was hilarious and said they were literally lol'ing, but I just groaned and rolled my eyes as the book went on.
It couldn't even be saved by the narrator, Lou Diamond Philips. Not even Lou Diamond Philips could save this for me! The man is incredible! He often times appears in my dreams as a military or colonist leader; he's impressive! And yet the Celestine Prophecy was still God awful.
Save your time and don't read it.

This was a wonderful, psychospiritual adventure journey in Peru. We get some exposure to the mysteries of Machu Picchu. We get some interesting insights into the indigenous peoples who disappeared. We learn a lot about control dramas and personalities that evolve based on the control dramas of the parents Plus plus.
I read this book many years ago when I was in junior high school. Somebody brought it up recently and I thought it would be fun to reread it as an adult yes. This was a valuable reread.
I love the understanding of how synchronicity can expand our lives, and how looking for synchronicities with more intensity, brings greater joy
This novel also contains some interesting utopian ideas, some are hard to imagine, but I admire James Redfield for including these possibilities in this lovely novel. He was very brave and bold to put these ideas out. Some might accuse him of trying to create a socialist Utopia, but the Celestine prophecy is much more than that.
In sum, I loved this book - exploring the mysterious nature of synchronicities, the Oneness factor, how everything is connected - it was a delicious romp into metaphysics, psychospiritual healing and the awe of LIFE! Go for it...

A workbook for anyone who resonates with the Celestine Prophecy - An adventure. The first book 'An Adventure' opens us to a subtle or energetic way to look at or experience events, people, places and objects. If the experiential guide is read immediately after reading the first book and the exercises are explored, especially with a spiritual friend or partner, something opens up. Some of what touched in the story gets grounded as an experience.
I learnt to energetically sense people and places. There is a particular exercise about what is the highest inspiration one is getting from one's Father and Mother and what is a Higher Purpose that fuses these two inspirations together. That exercise helped me to find the seeds of my Life Purpose 22 years back. In short a good eye opener to see beyond the hard/materialistic or surface way of interacting with life, people and circumstances.

I liked the idea of this book, to give more insight and background story to how James devised his narrative in the first book. The only issue I had with it is I wish there was more substance/details. Oftentimes, James would open up an idea in a paragraph, but then just leave it there. This method of writing tends to repeat a lot of information from the original text and leaves the reader wanting more. I think the citations he gives to other papers/books that impacted his narrative should be focused on more IN ADDITION to the anecdotal information he provides herein. Obviously this needs to be a balance so it is not a textbook, but I think anything with more details than what is provided would be better. Regardless, Redfield is a brilliant mind and his points made in this text are stunning and bigger than himself.

I stummbled upon this book & immediately snapped it up. I had bought yet another replacemment book of 'The Celestine Prophecy' to re-read.
I think this book was rather helpful in clearing somme initial confusions I was having with the novel; definitely a handy reference.
In 'An Experiential Guide' there individual exercises you can do and also group exercises to gain greater personal insight.
These books are almmost 20 years old - speak of the unrestlessness, coincidences, and the awakening of collective conscious in the 21st century.
I would love to have a study buddy to discuss the book and do excercises with, eventually join a smmall group or be part of book club that is intent on studying the books & the insights.

There's a manuscript that has been discovered in Peru that reveals the truth about the energy that connects all of us and that we are evolving. The book contains nine insights that guides us to understand how we can consciously evolve, tapping into and accessing the energy of the universe. I found the story to be engaging and reminiscent of some of the inner journeys that psychotropic drugs provided me during my quests in the Sixties. Not a great piece of literature, The Celestine Prophesy is engaging speculative fiction, nonetheless.
January 8, 2011
While at times this book was poorly written, its philosophies made the book an amazing and inspirational read (and i don't like using the word "inspirational" often, but that's truly the only word I can think of). I believe Redfield might do better to write a non-fiction piece about his philosophies because, I without a doubt, wanted more exploration into his ideas. If you can take the somewhat cheesy thriller/adventure plot of the novel, I'd say give it a chance and take a look at how its philosophies relate to your life.

It can be called part two of the celestine prophecy but can be read without reading the orignal one or part one.It tries to giv e practicle lessons on the nine insights of celestine prophecy.It really is a wonderful book,eye opening and with facts and theories which are quiet intresting.It is science,religion and superstition blended with fiction which is the message of this book.It is meant for the new leaders with great motivation and inspiration.

A great book for people who want to learn about the deeper things in life. This didn't completely change my life but it gave me a lot of insight. Many people dislike this book due to its poor structure, I feel like these people didn't read the book all the way through. In the beginning the story is very slow but as the book goes on it gets better. If you take the time to read this all the way through it will see the value of it.

äääh.... For sure it's success doesn't match the quality. Some interesting philosophical/spiritual insights. To me insight 8 was interesting and most relatable. The best part of the book was that it was so short. I wonder if it inspired Dan Brown to write his great books. If so then the work served a great purpose. I take my hat to any book that is a success. Sadly success often comes with a lot of hate and bad energy.

This is probably a 3.5 actually. There’s a lot in here that I really like but there’s too much “universe” and magical thinking for my liking. Sometimes the language used is a bit cultish also. I agree with almost all that it suggests but disagree with the explanations and reasonings- if this was a psychology book and all these things explained with the theories I’m familiar with I would vibe so hard.
