Queriendo seguir con lo plasmado en la novena revelación, el autor se adentra en una cuestión que, creo yo, o no tiene nada claro o no sabe cómo explicarlo. Pretende dar una visión universal de la historia pero sin poder desprenderse de un punto de vista católico apostólico romano, con centro en la cultura occidental y con la mentalidad de que EUA está en una posición privilegiada (tal como cada religión define a sus propios pueblos). Es decir, pretende una visión de todo el estadio mientras est...more
كتاب (بصيرت دهم) ادامهي كتاب (پيشگويي آسماني) است. به عقيدهي نويسنده هر موجودي كه به جهان ميآيد، با نيتي پاك پا به عالم هستي ميگذارد. از آغاز حتي پيش از آنكه نطفهي موجودي بسته شود همه چيز بر او آشكار است. ولادت يك انسان دور از پاكي و خلوص نيست، اما پس از پاگذاردن به دنياي مادي و نشو و نما به تدريج اهداف راستين به دست فراموشي سپرده ميشود و آدمي در قيد و بند دلبستگيهاي پست مادي اسير ميشود

extremely interesting book full of spiritual knowledge, including our birth vision, earth vision. and soul groups where we re-incarnate with the same family and friends over and over but with different roles such as i am some ones daughter in this lifetime but next i might be my mothers mother and she will be my daughter..fasinating. also animals how they represent a part of ourselves and different meanings for each animal when we see them examples seeing a hare means they are pointing out a dir...more
We can will and create almost anything we wish, but real fulfillment comes only when we first tune into our inner direction and divine guidance.
Real healing takes place when we can envision a new kind of future for ourselves that excites us.
Inspiration is what keeps us well.
Self-imposed hell. There is no conspiratorial evil in the world, no satanic plot to which we fall prey - there is only human fear, and the bizarre ways that humans try to ward it off. References to Satan are a metaphor, a sym...more

Actual note found inside a library copy of this book, so I'm posting it for posterity and giving it one star. Judging from the movie adaptation that I watched a few years ago, I would have to agree with the reviewer below.-MC

While the first book of the series was well made and had a lot of real life applications, this book disappointed me greatly.
The various occult teachings embedded in the story where wrong. The writer used many occult teachings and scrambled their meaning leading to misinformation. I don't think this was done on purpose, but the book seemed to me more like occult fiction.
I started this book thinking i would read a book strong on the occult and an enlightening meaning hidden between the lines. Whil...more

The reality of the Life Review is becoming part of our every day understanding.

Listening to it on audio tapes. Stopped on cassette 5 out of 7. I saw the movie, Celestine Prophecy, which took me on a spiritual, emotional rollercoaster...and was a great flick. I thought the book would offer more, only some input on the different insights and how it concides with the spiritual realm and after-life ancestral aspects...he tries to explain in this audiobook series. As a Christian, not sure if I can receive the Eastern religious beliefs and afterlife is able to connect with our e...more
This is the sequel to the Celestine Prophecy. It is more philosophical and less plot oriented, but unfortunately the philosophy, on the whole, is more esoteric and less interesting. The metaphysics of "The Afterlife" are questionable to me, and the "10th Insight" is not very clear. I wouldn't particularly recommend this to anyone unless they loved the Celestine Prophecy and are looking to be inspired to continue to pay attention to meaningful coincidences in their lives.
I loved the Celestine Prophecy so much that I had to get this book. I tried to read it back in 2006 and couldn't get all the way through it. I have tried again this past month and am down to the last 50 pages or so, but have put it down again in favor of several other recommended books.
This book does not grip me the way Celestine did; it seems forced and a little too out there for me. I don't walk away feeling "enlightened" or feeling like I can relate to it.

I found The Tenth Insight to be even more powerful than The Celestine Prophecy. Putting all of the spiritual lessons we have learned to worl and keeping our vibration high will take practice, but the more confident and solid we are in our knowing of our paths, the stronger we will be. Throuth this allegory, of sorts, Redfield has described how it can work, even with the dark trying to close in. Light and love is always the answer.
I had found both "The Celestine Prophesy" and "The Tenth Insight" on the shelves of one of my local used book stores. After re-reading "The Celestine Prophesy", which, I thoroughly enjoyed, I dove right into this. Although I have finished it as of yet, to this point (pg. 135), I would dare say that the continuation of the "prophesy" has surpassed the introduction. Pages 114 to 133 worth the purchase of the book.
While the Celestine Prophecy dealt with nine spiritual energy principles, this book works its way through a number of practices that support the one principle. A principle works in any situation where it's relevant; a practice may or may not work depending on circumstance. For this reason, I enjoyed the first book more, but I did like the way this one shows the value of combining our spiritual energy.

This is the second book from the series The Celestine Prophecy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Easy and fast read. While reading this book, you might notice some similarities or happenings/events in your life. This book helps you discover your centre, your higher self - If you are on this spiritual path, I highly recommend reading the Tenth Insight (& The Celestine Prophecy).
The second installment of The Celestine Prophecy series, is basically almost the same as the first novel because a lot of the insights are reviewed and and gone over again. There really isn't much new information besides small parts of the the 10th insight that takes a look at the after-life. You can stick with the first one of the series and get along just fine without this book.
This book was also read during my travels around the world (though I wished I was in South America whilst reading it), and was completed just a short time before I fell pregnant for the first time. The book played a part in my decisions at that time and changed my life completely. The main theme for me was this one of "choosing" our parents.
Worthy heir to the first book. This time it's all about Keeping and Believing to our visions of world. Beautiful wilderness of national park in America will let you meet your totem animals, show you that there's more dimensions in which we as beings can reside, teach you to be brave in the hour of despair and many, many more.. ^ ^
this book started off really well but then became a bit repetative at the end, i just wanted it to be over and then suddenly it was. the theme going through was brill and thought provoking but like i said it did go on a bit in the middle and i found my mind wondering at times, i still have a couple more to read but i think if you read too many at the same time they all blend in and you end up missing the message.
Now why did I chose this life experience? To enter into a family that would abandon me, sexual abuse, child abuse... co-dependant relationships? Yes.. I see so that I would evolve from a consciouness of fear to a consciousness of Love. To reunite with All That Is. To show the way of the Dragon.
Definately read this one.

Although this book wasn't as enjoyable as the first for me, I still liked it very much. The Tenth Insight added more complex components to Celestine Prophecy and presented themes that brought on a feeling of melancholy; which is what made it heavier than the first, I think. But, still yet again, extraordinary.
Perhaps I should have read this immediately after reading the Celestine Prophecy..this follow up book was a bit strange to me and I found it very difficult to get through. The message that Redfield is trying to express is lost (at least to me) in this bizarre, a-bit-to-imaginative-tale. I would not recommend this book.
An exciting, revealing, motivating book that wasn't meant as a motivating book. An aid in exploring oneself. A book about the changes some people are experiencing in this day and age. The increased consciousness and the chance happenings and meeting of people. An extension of Carl Jung’s Synchronisity theory
This books is the second in a three book series. The first book takes one to the 9th Insight and alludes to a 10th. This book takes one to the American Eastern mountains and finds the 10th Insight and suggests that there are more. Well written and fast reading but makes you want to know what's next.
This author should have left well enough alone. The Celestine Prophecy had a great thing going but the Tenth Insight was longer, less tantalizing, and at points, downright boring. The profound "ness" of the insight was even lacking in terms of relevance and meaning in comparison to the first nine.
This book was a continuation of The Celestine Prophecy, adding another 'insight' to consider. Again it is told in story-fashion which makes it easy to follow along. Again, the messages in these books are very moving and have transformational properties within them.
The Tenth insight. Holding the vision Is a continuation of the Celestine Prophecy. The first chapter announces one of his missing friends and his need to find her, he learns somethings along the way. In the second chapter he has visions and eventually runs into another old friend and together they begin to unravel the tenth insight
Bought this remembering how i enjoyed the first one, and hoping to motivate me into reading again...it didn't. I really didn't like it, don't know if it was because it wasn't nearly as good as the celestian prophecy, or maybe I was just older...a lot older ;-)
