Within its pages are 9 key insights into life itself insights each human being is predicted to grasp sequentially; one insight, then another, as we move toward a completely spiritual culture on Earth.

The Secret of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight

Author James Redfield takes readers to the mountains of Tibet in search of the mythical place called Shambhala, otherwise known as Shangri La. Like his previous bestselling books, Redfield holds the tension between an adventure travel story in this book, armed Chinese soldiers doggedly pursue him and divine encounters. Rather than preach his spiritual beliefs, Redfield likes to portray himself as a naive pilgrim, receiving wisdom and insights from the various guides and teachers he meets on his metaphysical journeys. Shambhala is indeed a paradise, just as it was lovingly portrayed in the famous James Hilton novel Lost Horizon. It is also a spiritual utopia, and Redfield takes great pleasure in pondering the possibilities of living in a culture that is entirely ‘focused on the life process.’ Residents explain their lifestyle, which has emerged from a completely spiritual culture, including some rather sensible opinions about technology, parenting, and even genetic testing. Meanwhile, Redfield remains the wide eyed observer. Those who loved the characters, writing style, and epiphanies in The Celestine Prophecy will not be disappointed with Redfield’s latest inspirational portrait of a new world order. Gail Hudson

The Twelfth Insight: The Hour of Decision

On 21 December 2012, the Mayan calendar will end. Many see it as an apocalyptic sign. But is it? In THE TWELFTH INSIGHT, the long awaited fourth book in the beloved Celestine series, we again follow our Hero and his close friend Wil. They have just received a portion of another ancient and mysterious manuscript that describes a secret approach to spirituality that is silently arriving in the second decade of the 21st century. But the manuscript is only available in fragments. To understand its full meaning for mankind, our Hero and Wil begin an urgent search to find the message in its entirety. As they embrace the power of Synchronicity and begin their search, they are confronted by powerful political forces and religious extremists that stand in the way of these spiritual revelations. Utilising what he calls the ‘parable effect’, and based on his own sources, James Redfield explores the similarities and differences that exist among the world religions, revealing the essential messages contained within them that can energise our experience of spirituality and produce a new wave of integrity and reform that can transform our lives and our world.

The Celestine Vision: Living the New Spiritual Awareness

A Wonderful New Addition to the Vision that Began with the Celestine Prophecy…
When James Redfield wrote The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, he crystallized a new spiritual vision for millions of people around the globe. Since then people have been gathering together to discuss how spiritual experiences have touched their lives and to explore the global renaissance already under way. Now in an exciting nonfiction book, James Redfield further helps us explore our unique missions on this planet. Personalizing the ideas of his earlier works, he delves into the hidden energies of our individual life dramas and shows us the mystical experiences that resolve them. Through self disclosure, he clarifies how mysterious coincidences led him toward a specific destiny and can lead us to ours. And, finally, the principles of synchronicity, connection, and purpose all converge in Redfield’s lucid discussions about history and science, allowing us to see their unbroken chain of evolution toward a better world. Inspiring and enlightening, The Celestine Vision is a wonderful, wise companion as we expand our consciousness and take action to create a truly joyous Earth.

Exploring the Zone

Explains what the phenomenon of spontaneous excellence is and what it can do for any person.

God and the Evolving Universe (With: Michael Murphy)

It is no accident, argue James Redfield and Michael Murphy the leading co creators of today’s spiritual boom that the twentieth and twenty first centuries have witnessed an explosion in human capacities. Daily we hear and read about supernormal athletic feats, clairvoyant perception, lives transformed by meditative practices, healing through prayer and we ourselves experience these things. Many people’s lives nowadays are marked by improved communication, a will to go beyond ego, synchronistic flow, and a sense of transcendent oneness and identity. Indeed, the authors contend that thousands of years of human progress have delivered us to this very moment, in which each act of self development is creating a new stage in planetary evolution and the emergence of a human species possessed of vastly expanded personal abilities. Written with the grace and ease of The Celestine Prophecy, God and the Evolving Universe features a broad range of exercises that readers can use to participate in everything they are reading about. Redfield’s first major new work since 1999, God and the Evolving Universe is the only book to unite the personal and the planetary, and explain like the proverbial butterfly that flaps its wings in China and causes a hurricane in New York how each act of individual improvement and consciousness raising, even as simple as lunchtime yoga, is part of a new evolutionary scheme. This bold work heightens readers’ awareness of their place in personal/planetary evolution and sets the stage for the new level in spiritual development.

Celestine Prophecy: The Making of the Movie (With: Monty Joynes)

In 1993, a relatively unknown psychotherapist from Birmingham, Alabama, self published a spiritual adventure novel with an intriguing title: The Celestine Prophecy. James Redfield and his partner wife, Salle, then peddled it to bookstores throughout the South, giving a copy to any bookseller who would agree to read it. The word of mouth quickly spread, and the Redfields sold 100,000 copies before Warner Books picked it up and made it the bestselling American book in the world in 1995 and 1996. Today there are more than 12 million copies of The Celestine Prophecy in print in more than 50 languages around the world.A decade later, in March 2004, the principal filming of The Celestine Prophecy began in the tropical forest of Washington Oaks State Gardens, south of St. Augustine, Florida. Directed by Armand Mastrioanni from a screenplay co written by James Redfield and Emmy nominated producer Barnet Bain, the film dramatically brings the Nine Insights from printed page to silver screen. This making of the movie book documents this astonishing achievement and takes you inside the imagination of the remarkable people who came together to fulfill James Redfield’s ultimate vision. From preproduction to the final wrap and editing, here are the producers, the director, actors, and crew caught in the moviemaking process. Lavishly illustrated with more than 160 full color photos, The Celestine Prophecy: The Making of the Movie features production stills, production design artwork, and frames from the movie. Here, too, is a narrative not only of the journey from book to film, but also of the heroic quest that John, played by Matthew Settle, takes for us and with us. On one level, it is a riveting adventure story fraught with danger and suspense. On another level, it is a spiritual journey with the power to transform. Just as the novel’s Nine Insights ignited a worldwide dialog about spiritual awareness and the evolutionary future of humanity, the film is certain to reignite and expand that dialog to a whole new audience.
