9 Insights from The Celestine Prophecy



The book, The Celestine Prophecy was an Inca and Mayan manuscript created around 600 BC in Aramaic. The clergy tried to suppress the manuscript when parts of it were discovered in modern day Peru.

There are some interesting insights in the manuscript that are relevant to our evolution and development. Here are the 9 insights as described in the book, something to ponder and contemplate, to increase our awareness of where we are on the evolutionary scale.

Insight 1: The first insight talks of an awareness of occurances that change or transform ones life. This awareness needs to be consciously built into our thinking if we are to reap the full benefits of intuition, creativity and abundance that result from such transformation.

Insight 2: The second insight puts our development into an evolutionary perspective. It shows us how a secular world-view replaced the spiritual one that went before it; this is the beginning of the industrial growth economy which seeks to conquer earth through the extraction of natural resources. Much of the systems that we have today were built on this particular world-view. Although it served a purpose, it's limitations are now becoming increasingly apparent and destructive to planet earth.

Insight 3: The third insight follows evolution around the perception of invisible energy with the fruition of quantum mechanics. All things are made of matter and energy, the one influencing the other, but not separate from each other. The simple act of observation changes the relationship between matter and energy itself. This creates a heightened sense of beauty.

Insight 4: Insight number 4 then goes onto to explain how humans then use this new insight of energy and matter to compete for natural resources and power. If we look back at history, we can see that all the wars fought along with human struggles stem from this insight - the need to conquer earth and other humans to gain more power and energy. This insight is driven by fear and the need to control external factors for fear of losing control.

Insight 5: Insight number 5 speaks of a shift in consciousness, a progression back to an ultimate consciousness. What precipitates this progression? The prophecy talks of connecting to a higher source of energy. I think this is related to increased awareness or mindfulness. Connecting with this higher source of energy means increasing our focus and attention to both our inner and outer states of consciousness. This means integrating different world-views from the understanding that we are all part of one unique, holistic system.

Insight 6: This insight has to do with facing up to our particular way of controlling others as a way of imposing our ideology onto others to get what we want. This just creates tension, anger and misunderstanding. So this insight is about letting go of our unconscious control dramas that we've learnt from childhood. We do this by bringing our control dramas into full consciousness. Here are some of the drama personifications the manuscript talks of; the intimidator, the interrogator  being aloof, and the poor-me complex. The first 2 relate to people with outward personalities. The second 2 relate to people with internal personalities.

Insight 7: This insight builds on the idea of increased awareness and using this awareness to guide us on our personal development journey. Objects will begin to jump out at us, certain thoughts will guide us and dreams may tell us something about our lives that we're missing. It is our responsibility to tap into this intuition by building our powers of mindfulness.

Insight 8: The penultimate insight is about how people act towards each other. This insight speaks of an interpersonal ethic that guides our relationships with each other so that more messages can be shared. The more that can be shared, the more abundance can permeate scarcity structures that have been built into our consciousness over time.

Insight 9: The final insight is the most important as it ties together all the previous insights. This insight talks of a change that will happen in this millennium as a result of the evolution of human consciousness. This change will be guided by our higher intuition which is tapped through increased awareness. It is also about letting go of the need to possess and control for security purposes. It speaks of a human world that has slowed down and become more alert for the next intuitive message regards our development. The human population will decrease to live in harmony with nature. This will automatically increase our energy and vibration levels to a higher realm of personal and spiritual development.

Fear lowers ones vibration and much of the industrial growth economy has been driven by fear. Is it not time to transcend this more infantile, monopolistic perception of human development?
