This volume is the second novel in The Celestine Series, beginning with The Celestine Prophecy. One of the characters of The Celestine Prophecy, Charlene, disappears while exploring a forest in the Appalachian Mountains. The book discusses ideas about other dimensions, past lives, conception and birth, the passage through death to an afterlife, hell and heaven. It also illustrates the author's vision of human destiny and the idea that fear of the future is endangering Earth's spiritual renaissance. In the story, each individual soul is part of a larger "Soul Group", which shares the mission of helping the evolution of the cosmos. At times, a soul from a given Group incarnates itself, choosing the conditions of its life according to its needs, while the other souls observe. Each soul creates a reality around itself, which later brings consequences upon it. These consequences take the form of life and afterlife, which vary according to the person's choices. On Earth, people speak of the prophecy written in the Book of Revelation as if it were coming true. Many fear that it will come partly true, in that a dictator (an Antichrist) will arise, but will not be thrown down. To counteract this idea, which is damaging to the spiritual renaissance, the protagonists hold their own, Utopian "World Vision" to the exclusion of its opposite, until it dominates the opposite at the book's climax.… (més)

The book was not as engaging as "Chronicles," which addresses the same topic, but it does pose some excellent 'thought problems" that the answers would help to guide us in our day-to-day life better. The less-than-subtle ending most certainly harkens a third volume in the future.
The two books have impacted how I'm consciously attempting to change my level of awareness of what is happening around me. ( )
Review: The Tenth Insight by James Redfield. This is the second book of “The Celestine Prophecy” series which I didn’t really relate too much that was written in the book but however interesting. I related more to some of the content in the first book and I connected more with some of my own opinions and beliefs. This second book was written for someone who is deeply involved with the spirit world. Redfield really came on strong spiritually, starting from the beginning of evolution to the afterlife. Plus, Redfield provides introduction to some basic metaphysics and his own personal vision of utopia. This book still mentions the nine insights of the first book and then the tenth insight wrote about in this book goes deeper into the spiritual aspect. I’m not criticizing what has been written and would not offend anyone of their belief. It was just way over my head to understand or connect with the story. It emphasizes a need to generate a loving energy unto all beings in search for a genuine meaning in lives through prayer and synchronistic events. There was a lot of fascinating data about dreams and secret sites. I found the last third of the book interesting and more on my level. What I thought Redfield was trying to get across to the reader is encouragement through positive behavior. He wrote about the way we live and think about what and why the world is the way it is today. All the insights came together in a more understandable way about the economy, environment, population, race, culture, etc…Redfield doesn’t claim to be a professional in these areas he just expresses in words explainable to the reader as a small spiritual awakening to negative and positive aspects as we strive to live out our lives in harmony. His spiritual wisdom is more on what we are trying to achieve in a changing evolutionary journey… ( )

...I Looked and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I hear was as ... a trumpet talking with me; which said, come up hither, and I will show you things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven.. and there was a rainbow round the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and up on the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment... And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away ...
