The Celestine Insights
THE FIRST INSIGHT . . .
A CRITICAL MASS
A new spiritual
awakening is occurring in human culture, an awakening brought about by a
critical mass of individuals who experience their lives as a spiritual
unfolding, a journey in which we are led forward by mysterious coincidences.
THE
SECOND INSIGHT . . .
THE LONGER NOW
This awakening
represents the creation of a new, more complete worldview, which replaces a
five-hundred-year-old preoccupation with secular survival and comfort. While
this technological preoccupation was an important step, our awakening to
life's coincidences is opening us up to the real purpose of human life on
this planet, and the real nature of our universe.
THE
THIRD INSIGHT . . .
A MATTER OF ENERGY
We now experience that
we live not in a material universe, but in a universe of dynamic energy.
Everything extant is a field of sacred energy that we can sense and intuit.
Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing our attention in the
desired direction...where attention goes, energy flows...influencing other
energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives.
THE
FOURTH INSIGHT . . .
THE STRUGGLE FOR POWER
Too
often humans cut themselves off from the greater source of this energy and
so feel weak and insecure. To gain energy we tend to manipulate or force
others to give us attention and thus energy. When we successfully dominate
others in this way, we feel more powerful, but they are left weakened and
often fight back. Competition for scarce, human energy is the cause of all
conflict between people.
THE
FIFTH INSIGHT . . .
THE MESSAGE OF THE MYSTICS
Insecurity and violence
ends when we experience an inner connection with divine energy within, a
connection described by mystics of all traditions. A sense of
lightness--buoyancy--along with the constant sensation of love are measures
of this connection. If these measures are present, the connection is real.
If not, it is only pretended.
THE
SIXTH INSIGHT . . .
CLEARING THE PAST
The more we stay
connected, the more we are acutely aware of those times when we lose
connection, usually when we are under stress. In these times, we can see our
own particular way of stealing energy from others. Once our manipulations
are brought to personal awareness, our connection becomes more constant and
we can discover our own growth path in life, and our spiritual mission--the
personal way we can contribute to the world.
THE
SEVENTH INSIGHT . . .
ENGAGING THE FLOW
Knowing our personal
mission further enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences as we are
guided toward our destinies. First we have a question; then dreams,
daydreams, and intuitions lead us towards the answers, which usually are
synchronistically provided by the wisdom of another human being.
THE
EIGHTH INSIGHT . . .
THE INTERPERSONAL ETHIC
We can increase the
frequency of guiding coincidences by uplifting every person that comes into
our lives. Care must be taken not to lose our inner connection in romantic
relationships. Uplifting others is especially effective in groups where each
member can feel energy of all the others. With children it is extremely
important for their early security and growth. By seeing the beauty in every
face, we lift others into their wisest self, and increase the chances of
hearing a synchronistic message.
THE
NINTH INSIGHT . . .
THE EMERGING CULTURE
As we all evolve toward
the best completion of our spiritual missions, the technological means of
survival will be fully automated as humans focus instead on synchronistic
growth. Such growth will move humans into higher energy states, ultimately
transforming our bodies into spiritual form and uniting this dimension of
existence with the after-life dimension, ending the cycle of birth and
death.
THE
TENTH INSIGHT . . .
HOLDING THE VISION
The
Tenth Insight is the realization that throughout history human beings
have been unconsciously struggling to implement this lived spirituality on
Earth. Each of us comes here on assignment, and as we pull this
understanding into consciousness, we can remember a fuller birth vision of
what we wanted to accomplish with our lives. Further we can remember a
common world vision of how we will all work together to create a new
spiritual culture. We know that our challenge is to hold this vision with
intention and prayer everyday.
THE
ELEVENTH INSIGHT . . .
EXTENDING PRAYER FIELDS
The
Eleventh Insight is the precise method through which we hold the
vision. For centuries, religious scriptures, poems, and philosophies have
pointed to a latent power of mind within all of us that mysteriously helps
to affect what occurs in the future. It has been called faith power,
positive thinking, and the power of prayer. We are now taking this power
seriously enough to bring a fuller knowledge of it into public awareness. We
are finding that this prayer power is a field of intention, which moves out
from us and can be extended and strengthened, especially when we connect
with others in a common vision. This is the power through which we hold the
vision of a spiritual world and build the energy in ourselves and in others
to make this vision a reality.
