  <description><![CDATA[THE CELESTINE PROPHECY contains secrets that are currently changing our world. Drawing on the ancient wisdom found in a Peruvian manuscript, it tells you how to make connections between the events happening in your own life right now... and lets you see what is going to happen to you in years to come!A book that has been passed from hand to hand, from friend to friend, since it first appeared in small bookshops across America. THE CELESTINE PROPHECY is a work that has come to light at a time when the world deeply needs to read its words. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystallize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life ... and to direct your steps with a new energy and optimism as you head into tomorrow]]></description>
