 Well ... it didn't make me angry August 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Actually, my title should really be: "Well, it was better than The Mothman Prophecies'." (For the "why" see my review of that book.)
I have to admit, the ideas are interesting. Even some of the philosophies I agree with strongly. But there just seems to be a push for humanity to believe that we've evolved enough to harness the metaphysical energies of the Universe in the ways described in this novel.
And it is a novel ... some folks seem to forget that.
We are made up of the energy of said Universe ... but we are 3 dimensional beings. Yes, our evolution has sped up quite a bit over the last hundred thousand years, but to see non-visible energy, to vibrate our bodily energy beyond what it does normally ... it just doesn't jibe.
I guess I'm too much of a scientist to believe in the fantastical ... yes, "I want to believe" but practicality just kicks in and I'd rather spend my time and energy in Reality.
Having said that ... even when I removed the scientist (kicking and screaming) from the picture, the story didn't hold me. It was like reading a series of lectures tied together with a rather thin plot that seemed to think it was speeding along but slows to a creep when the lecturer starts again. So even when a grain of salt, I found this a bland experience.
Sad too ... there are some very important ideas in this book concerning the role of religion and self-determination in modern society.
 Life Changing Book July 28, 2008
The "Celestine Prophecy" is a life changing book for the 21st Century! There are guide books available as well to continue your understanding and incorporation of the insights into your daily life. The "Celestine Vision" and the "Celestine Prophecy Explanatory Guide". Highly recommended to all to grow spiritually!

So tell me now, if we were all clairvoyants, could it be possible that we all could actually see one another's auras?
Are you certain Redfield hadn't smoked a joint first before he wrote this book, because it sounded like he most likely trippin'.
...One of the most controversial part of the book had to do with a white calf, but honestly I just couldn't finish the book nor get a really good grasp of its concept.
Thought provoking. July 2, 2008
A very interesting title. If only things were as clear in life as in this book.
Not for me June 26, 2008

This book was not for me. If it's for you, that's fine, but I felt like it was a Dan Brown novel crossed with that What the Bleep movie, only written by a high school kid and totally boring.
