The Celestine Prophecy
James Redfield's Guide to the Nine Insights



The First Insight - A Critical Mass
Also known as the Insight of Awakening, it focuses on the mysterious coincidences in everyday life. For centuries, we have been discounting these coincidences as pure chance. As we begin to explore the spiritual dimension of our existence, we experience things that cannot be dismissed as chance.


The Second Insight - The Longer Now
This insight represents an awakening from material security and comfort. When we understand the historical momentum leading us to a more spiritual life, we understand the Second Insight.


The Third Insight - A Matter of Energy
We, as humans, can project our energy by focusing our attention on the desired direction (where attention goes, energy flows), influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives.


The Fourth Insight - The Struggle for Power
When we feel weak and insecure, we tend to manipulate others to give us the energy we need. By successfully dominating others, we feel more powerful, but they are left weaker and often fight back. Competition for scarce human energy is the cause of all conflict between people. We must learn that we need not steal energy from others because we have a divine source of spiritual energy at our disposal.


The Fifth Insight - The Message of the Mystics
When we experience a connection with divine energy, insecurity and violence end. A sense of lightness, a sense of peace and the constant sensation of love are measures of these connections.


The Sixth Insight - Clearing the Past
When we are under stress we can lose connection and as a result, begin to steal energy from others. It is at this time we can determine what methods we use to control others. There are four "control dramas."

Poor Me - We make others feel guilty for not doing enough for us. When he or she buys into this "guilt trip", we gain energy.

Aloof - We remain detached, secretive, and vague in hopes to entice someone into chasing us around in order to figure us out. Energy is gained from the attention.

Interrogator - We attempt to control others by "finding fault" and making others feel self-conscious.

Intimidator - We win energy by frightening others into paying attention.

In order to progress spiritually, we need to identify the drama/dramas that apply to us and when they occur, we need to control and subdue them. By analyzing our parents and their own control dramas we can understand the two points of view that were integrated into our early lives. We can also understand where our own dramas originated from and why.


The Seventh Insight - Engaging the Flow
Dreams are valuable when determining our path in life. They always contain the characteristics of stories: plot, characters and action. What are the characters saying? What are they seeking? From whom or what are they fleeing? We need to take the plot of the dream and superimpose it on the plot of our lives. What are the similarities? Is the action in the dream something you may want to try? Or is the dream telling you to avoid this action at all cost? Dreams can be an essential part of determining who we are and why we do the things we do.


The Eighth Insight - The Interpersonal Ethic
We can uplift the spirits of every person who comes into our lives. With the strength of our attention we can uplift those with whom we cross paths, sending energy their way so they feel suddenly insightful, able to see their lives and ideas with a higher clarity and so perhaps give us an important truth. As humankind begins to interact in this manner, our culture will begin to accelerate into a completely spiritual form.


The Ninth Insight - The Emerging Culture
As humans focus on synchronistic growth, we will move into ever-higher energy states, ultimately transfoming our bodies into spiritual form and uniting this dimension with the afterlife dimension, thus ending the cycle of birth and death.
