'Celestine Prophecy' worth another look, in light of terrorist attacks

By Nicole Rusher

When a sufficient number of individuals seriously question what's going on in life, we will begin to find out.

James Redfield's Celestine Prophecy is a fabulous novel about the meaning of life. An ancient manuscript has been discovered in the rainforests of Peru. A man's adventure reveals each of the nine insights in the manuscript, which serves as a map toward gaining complete spirituality on earth.

Quite often we have compelling experiences and feelings with no explanation for them. We have questions about nature and human behavior. This is particularly true in the months since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.

But because of our preoccupation with modernizing and security, we have forgotten our original question: What is our purpose here?

And we don't communicate our thoughts with each other.

Redfield does a fantastic job at shedding light on these mysteries. He brings about ideas that force us to reflect on our consciousness and discuss its meaning. I recommend Redfield's Celestine Prophecy for a guidebook in life or just as insightful entertainment. It is an intriguing book that can help define our future.
