I was bought this book by a friend and told
not to read it until I had read ‘The Secret’,
‘The Pilgrimage’ and ‘The Alchemist’. My friend
explained that the Celestine Prophecy required
a mind that was already versed in the concepts
of self – development and seeking a higher
sense of being. I am glad I followed her advice
and waited, otherwise the Celestine Prophecy
may have overwhelmed me. As it was, I
thoroughly enjoyed the book and really felt
like it substantiated exactly how I now feel
about the world; how I see people, how I feel
around nature and how I utilise energy in my
life. The book loses a few points due to being
poorly punctuated in small parts. The book also
starts off in a very gripping novel like way
but towards the end moves to a more predictable
parable style offering. Nevertheless the
Celestine Prophecy is still a must for the self
– development reader’s bookshelf. The Celestine
Prophecy is a story about an ancient manuscript
from Peru that contains nine insights. The
narrator seeks out each part as he undertakes a
journey of spiritual awakening. There are those
that seek to destroy the manuscript as it is
seen as a threat to the theory of God’s
creation. The truth is the manuscript does not
dispute the theory of a higher being and
explains exactly what our purpose in life is.
The main character of the novel discovers that
the whole world is supposed to receive this
knowledge and elevate to a higher level of
being. The Celestine Prophecy demonstrates
metaphorically the way energy works between all
living organisms. If you seek the truth about
life, energy and spirituality then this is a
must read.
