 The Indiana Jones Version of Shambhala November 24, 2008
A science fantasy tale of energy fields, psychic weapons and paranoia. The Tibetan monks in this tale talk a strange new age lingo invented by the author, who appears never to have encountered real Tibetans, Tibetan Buddhist teachings, or the Kalachakra Tantra which is the source of Shambhala teachings. I also doubt that he has ever encountered the Tibetan language, given the confusion he makes between transliteration and spoken Tibetan. If you would like to understand the relevance of Shambhala in our age, I would suggest starting with "Shambhala, the Sacred Path of the Warrior" by Trungpa. If you prefer fiction, I find James Hilton's "Lost Horizon" more inspiring.
Great story September 1, 2008
I enjoyed this book even more that the first 2. Lots of action and spiritual growth lessons for any one looking for ways to be more conscious and loving. It was a fun book to read but the idea that the cycle of birth and death will end is pretty far fetched for me. I also recommend A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle
 strengthening the vision August 29, 2008
Wish they'd make a movie of this one, too. I watch The Celestine Prophecy movie dvd often, in various language combinations. It helps me hold the vision and soak it in deeper and deeper. SECRET OF SHAMBALA expands understanding, strengthens intention and focus, all the while giving us another exciting adventure. Check out the celestineprophecymovie website.
238 pages of boredom..... March 3, 2008
I was happy that this book was given to me as I would have been a little upset if i actually paid for it. For starters what makes for a good fiction is when the author is capable of setting the scene, given the story depth and just as importantly, good character development. Unfortunately this story lacks both. The scene could have taken place in Mr. Redfields living room and it would not have made much of a difference since the reader never gets a "feel" for Tibet, "Shambhala", or its suroundings. I understand that it is in James Redfields best interest to put his "insights" into fictional form, sort of a safe zone since they lack originality and are at best a naive attempt at delivering his "message". A true evangelist for the "new age". Page 225 from the Celestine Prophecy- ""But what about money?" I asked. "I can't believe that people will voluntarily reduce there incomes." Oh we wont have to Dobson said. "The Manuscript says our income will remain stable because of the people given us money for the insights we provide." Well I think this says it all.

James Redfield has a unique way of delivering prophetic truths in his works. The Celestine Prophecy is a a book every human being should read. There is more to life than the old 9-5 and materialism. Perhaps our politicians & world leaders would learn from this book!
The evolution of one's soul & mind is a terrible gift to lose!
