The Celestine Prophecy

We're watching Celestine Prophecy now...after one hour I'm interested in the concept but somewhat underimpressed by production and acting...we'll finish it up tonight and see what happens.

 

First I would like to say that the Celestine Prophecy was one of the first book that got me on my way. I do have to play the devils advoate though....great insights and idea's .....really poorly written. The way of the peaceful warrior (now a movie) by Dan Millman was also one of my favorites. Really these are stories to help open people up, make them think, while still showing a path. Carlos Castenada on the other hand does the same but allows a follower of this path to delve much deeper...one of my favorite authors to this day. Thanks for being everyone.

Peace be in you

 

Carlos Castenada is cool

 

Finished the movie...it got better. Interesting, but nothing there I haven't encountered before.

 

Agree there Spook - that was my reaction when I read the book a few years ago - a lot of re-hashed stuff from various sources. Similar in that respect to 'The Da Vinci Code'.

 

most 3 pronged naguals are cool......

 

After Castaneda's acclaimed books stuff like this comes out that can't even unloose the
threads of the sandals of the Godfather of the new age, but they think it's parallel.

 

i loved the celestine prophesy -book & movie (although i describe the film as 'the cole's notes version of the book'


if you like that book, try The Monk Who Sold His Ferarri by Robin Sharma...similar concept but more practical in terms of applying it to your day-to-day life.

 

This is just a re-telling of an old story. We can realise our divinity through love and compassion to our fellow beings. I suppose that message has to be repeated every so often in a different form for a new generation because the truth of it gets obscured after a while due to paedophile priests, corruption and the like, or else it's just a guy ripping off a tried and tested formula to make a ton of cash. It kinda bugs me though, how people don't realise that there's been others who have been trying to tell us the same thing throughout history. The story about the prophecy on the scrolls is just made up fiction isn't it? probably just like the stories about Jesus. The message is the same though. Actually, what really bugs me even more is that people start believing that these metaphorical concepts in the stories like the energy auras or the turning water into wine etc are actually real and are thereby completely missing the point. Anyway, the film was completely shit and will have absolutely no impact on global consciousness at all because there's not enough sex in it. I expect that there's new cults who've seen it and go round thinking they're special and respecting each others 'energy' - wankers.

 

Concepts and methods and vision contained within celestine prophecy are unfortunately way too optimistic to become true, as in "and everyone went ecstatic and lived happily ever after", even assuming everything contained are correct.

 

just a a small question? has anybody experienced the whole concept of changes in energy levels when interacting with a specific person?

i remember that comming up in the book, was probably the most enlightening aspect for me. The rest was all rehashed knowledge.

 

it happens to everybody everytime. feeling cheerier when with some particular person, or feeling down with some other particular person is an example of that.
