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 symbolic way of warning people to look to the divine for security, not to their sometimes tragic ego urges and habits.
Become awakened and aware of your own ability to uplift others with your energy.
Love is the highest emotion.

I found The Tenth Insight to be even more powerful than The Celestine Prophecy. Putting all of the spiritual lessons we have learned to work 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.

This book did not provide me with more answers to life. Instead, it left me with more questions. Personally, I've discovered it's the "questions" that I cherish most, more so than hoping for a discovery, a revelation. I don't expect I'll ever have those answers about life's journey even if I lived many lifetimes. That's okay. I remember back in my college days when one of my professors said, " when you graduate and discover that you have more questions than answers than when you first came here, then you will have had a great education." He was right.

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.

Our greatest mistake, in my opinion, is to think that human spirituality is somehow already understood and established...

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.

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
"Dear Cheryl,
The Tenth Insight soon lost me. After page 130 I had trouble making sense of it. I could follow connecting with the spiritual energy within. I could follow Redfield's being mad at what the white man did to the Indian, and building that into his story. But curing a sprained ankle with thought is too much, and going back to previous lives to see why things are happening to us in this life. The Celestine Prophecy was great but in the Tenth Insight, for me James Redfield got lost.

Favorite Quotes
The reality of the Life Review is becoming part of our every day understanding. We know that after death, we have to look at our lives again; and we’re going to agonize over every missed opportunity, over every case in which we failed to act. This knowledge is contributing to our determination to pursue every intuitive image that comes to mind, and keep it firmly in awareness. We’re living life in a more deliberate way. We don’t want to miss a single important event. We don’t want the pain of looking back later and realizing that we blew it, that we failed to make the right decisions.
Inspiration is what keeps us well.
We can become inspired to shape a higher, more ideal future, and when we do, miracles happen.
‘This is [her] soul group.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘It’s a group of souls with whom she resonates closely.’
Sexual union is a holy moment in which a part of Heaven flows into the Earth.
Apparently, before we are born, each of us experiences a vision of what our life can be, complete with reflections on our parents and our tendencies to engage in particular control dramas, even how we might work through these dramas with these parents and go on to be prepared for what we want to accomplish.

Synopsis:
The Tenth Insight was written by James Redfield and published in 1996. It is the second book in The Celestine Prophecy series. This is a spiritual adventure series. The first book was about a man who found out about a manuscript that was discovered that described better ways for humans to live their lives and to realize that there is more to life than just the material world. ( You can read my review of the first book to find out more about it). In this second book the narrator’s friend goes missing, so he travels to the Appalachians to find her. While there he gets thrust into another adventure and meets people along the way who help him understand what he has learned so far more clearly and has some mystical and spiritual experiences.
Storyline:
I liked the story in this one! It had a good adventure going on and I liked the greater insight we got in this one. While the first book held a lot more practical advice for living differently in a better way, this book was a little more fantastical. There were a lot of moments where the narrator was thrust into this non physical spiritual world and that was pretty cool. This book dealt mainly with the idea that we all have a life purpose and kind of waking up to what our purpose is, so that at the end of our lives we don’t regret what we have done with them. In that respect, this book reminded me of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. This one also dealt a lot with the world as a whole and how the world is very polarized. There are those who are very conscious and trying to create a better life on this planet and there are those that are very fearful and are watching the world crumble around them what with corrupt government structures, natural disasters, etc. This is very interesting because this book was written in 1996 and these days we can totally see some of these scary world events happening and it is very apparent if you watch the news and whatnot. Yet, there are also people who are really trying to change the planet for the better that have ideas about how to make the world a better place. The author is obviously one of them and takes a more optimistic view on this.
Setting:
I really liked the setting in this one! The forests of the Appalachian mountains were really cool and another perfect setting to explore these types of concepts.
Characters:
The characters are just a means to an end in this series, which I explained in my review of the first book. That’s ok though. We had the same unnamed narrator in this one and we go on another personal journey with him. There was a return of two characters from the previous book, which I really liked. To be honest I feel like maybe the characters stood out a bit more in this one than in the previous book. I liked the developing relationships between characters and hope that is explored more in the last two books. Without spoiling anything, I will say I was disappointed in the fizzling out of a certain relationship that there was such a build up to in the last book. There was virtually no explanation of what happened, which I just found odd.
Did I Like It?:
I really liked this second book in The Celestine Prophecy series! I’m really liking this series so far and am stoked to have found a spiritual adventure series. It’s pretty cool and explores some important concepts for this time we are living in. Of course I liked the first book the best, but I thought this was an excellent follow up. I will for sure be continuing on with this series!
Do I Recommend it?:
I recommend reading the first book for sure! Of course, it’s not a book everyone will be open to. If you have any interest in spirituality though and know what I’m talking about, then I highly recommend it. If you have read the first one and liked it, then I definitely recommend picking up the second one!

I read the Celestine Prophecy and I hated it. So why would I read 'The Tenth Insight'? Have you ever gotten a bruise that hurt almost all the time but every little once in a while you would poke it just to remind yourself how much it hurt? The Celestine Prophecy is like that to me. It was bad enough to realize that how bad the Celestine Prophecy was, but to make a sequel!? This I had to read.
So let me get started. First of all the book takes place mainly in the National Forest. Which one? No idea, the book just says National Forest, capitalized. So our hero goes on a quest to regain his hold of all the previous insights, the tenth insight and, oh yeah, his reporter friend has gone missing.
He comes across Wil (remember Wil, the native Peruvian with the non-Peruvian name) who is now an interdimentional traveler (I guess the ninth insight does more than make you invisible) and an evil power generating experiment that has a bunch of people in the other dimension a little nervous. As it turns out everyone on earth when they die, or before their born hang out with this whole group of people that look a lot like them. I guess there is no joy in diversity.
While our hero is adventuring through the National Forest he slips off a rock and hurts himself (he would have hurt himself more but something stops the other rocks from making hero-mush of him) he then comes across a “doctor” that says that he wouldn't have hurt himself except for the fact that he must of done it in one of his previous lives. I guess the rock, the misstep or the fact that our hero is a klutz had nothing to do with it. Once he spends some time really thinking about the pain it more or less just goes away.
As he wanders more or less blindly through the National Forest he discovered that sexual orgasm opens a little rift between dimensions, that we are all extreme optimists before we are born and hell is you repeating your mistakes over and over again. It's like a teacher having you take the same test over and over again until you get it right, without ever telling you what you did wrong.
Nevertheless, our hero joins up with a couple of other folk and find that if they work out some of their issues that they had with each other back in a previous life then they can figure out where this whole World Vision is going to end up anyway. When they get together and realizes this whole World Vision all of their “soul groups” (their interdimentional cheerleaders) get together and have a party.
My favorite part of the entire book, and I am so glad I read the whole thing just to get this part, was when the hero talked to David about how when we come across animals the animals are trying to tell us something. If we come across a rabbit we are suppose to be more optimistic, we we come across a eagle we should be a little more farsighted. I guess if we came across a bear we should be a little more tasty.
When the group of pseudo heroes finally thwarted the EVIL energy experiment the leader of the group might have well shook his fist in the air and said “I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you stupid kids!” Very cilche.

A very insightful (no pun intended) book.
The Tenth Insight is very complex, as it involves several different things at the same time:
- Recognition of more than the physical (Earthly) dimension – similar to the second insight
- Remembering who one is via one’s birth vision –what is your mission on Earth? – and whether one is focused enough and disciplined enough respectively, to fulfilling the birth vision and bringing it about
- Recognizing in remembering one’s birth vision that one also has a birth group – spirit (ancestral) guides who share one’s birth vision,
- Being mindful that every life form provides us either with an insight as to what we are to do at a particular time to either add to the birth vision or provides clues as to what we are to do *(in recognition of ourselves)* next in our own birth vision journey, and
- Recognizing that one integrates oneself with several other people who we could have interacted with in previous lives but in those people each remembering their own birth visions and having their own spirit groups, integrate with you, and to bring everyone else into awareness of their own birth vision and the resulting common World Vision we all have toward remembering, connecting to and integrating the physical (Earth) plane to the spiritual (Afterlife) plane – recognizing that we are all really part of the divine.
Yes, it is a lot, but told in a very compelling story format. Yes, the story unfolds as coincidental, but that is the first insight (from the previous book) all over again … the lesson is, we need to be(come) aware of those coincidences and recognize what they mean and the purpose(s) they are to fulfill.

Here's where Redfield tries to apply his philosophy to global (rather than individual) problems. And here's where I lose all respect for his little project.
The set-up:
Another shitty adventure story, featuring the same nameless narrator in some nameless location (though it appears to be the woods in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina). Nameless Narrator is trying to find the Tenth Insight, which was mentioned in the Ninth Insight in "The Celestine Prophecy."
Meanwhile, another dude (Feyman) is using a machine in the woods to try to tap the earth's energy so he can use it as an [extremely profitable:] centralized energy source. His efforts are disrupting the souls in The Afterlife, and creating earthquakes.
Nameless Narrator must track down the Tenth Insight, find some folks in the forest, and stop Feyman.
The hitch:
The Tenth Insight isn't written down anywhere. It's in the collective conscious of the souls in The Afterlife. And the only way to get it is to share energy with enough people who understand the first 9 Insights. That's why Nameless Narrator needs to find some other folks in the forest.
Cue stupidity:
The Tenth Insight says we all live multiple lives (see Eastern philosophy, subject "reincarnation"). Each person's soul has a mission designed to help it achieve the World Vision. And each person's soul chooses the life it thinks will help it achieve that mission. But... oh shit! When the soul is born in a physical body, it forgets its mission and just leads the same screwed up sort of life as everyone else. If the soul is to fulfill its mission, the person must find the Insights and integrate them into his/her life. The soul's mission is to ultimately spread the Insights around.
The World Vision is a really bizarre utopia (though I could see how it would be appealing) in which everyone has attained spiritual enlightenment through understanding the Insights. People live in a perfect democracy in which everyone is looking out for the good of society as a whole rather than his own good. Energy is free and decentralized (likely coming from the Earth itself or the universe or whatever). No one needs to work. Everyone pays everyone else for the lessons they learn through coincidences. And everyone can afford everything because the government has decided to institute cost controls (I'd LOVE to see how that would work with a minimum wage).
The World Vision is total, thoughtless bullshit. And I really hope the reasons are obvious. If not, re-read the last paragraph please and ask yourself how that would all work.

I have mixed feelings with this one. The adventure wasn't as captivating as The Celestine Prophecy and at times seemed slow or forced. The last three chapters went deep into religion, spirituality, and how to reach utopia. Of course this is all fiction, however, there is truth rooted into these insights. It absolutely comes with an important message which is why I recommend the Celestine Prophecy and now this one to bring it all into practice. We truly are all souls just trying to find our path, practice and speak our truth, and contribute our part in the "bigger picture." James Redfield does a good job with making an adventure out of finding our way and gives clues of what to look for, because, really- life is an adventure, especially when you're trying to raise your vibrations and find your tribe. If you're ready to go deeper after reading the first, go for it! I finished the book in a couple of days- I couldn't put it down!

March 18, 2009كتاب (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

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

The first half was okay but then I just got bored and couldn't wait for it to end. I really enjoyed re-reading The Celestine Prophecy recently so The Tenth Insight was something of a disappointment. 2-stars

BOOK REVIEW 📚
WOW! Just WOW! This sequel to The Celestine Prophecy was impossible to put down!!
What if you could remember your purpose for being in this life time? What if you could slip into the Afterlife and gain insight and understanding from your Soul Group? What if we could witness the evolution of time and humanity? What would you do with that information?
Some of the major WHY questions of life are explored here! We enter into other realms of existence, remember our past, as well as the purpose of our present! Are we truly ready to face our life review without regrets?
I do believe we all have a unique purpose here. I have always thought that once we could figure that out then we'd happily live our life's purpose. Now, I see it as I need to remember why I chose to come here during this time. To the family I chose. With the people I knew I would encounter. This takes a deep dive into why we are here, what we need to do, and where it could all lead us!

Die zehnte Prophezeiung von Celestine“ entführt den Leser in eine Welt, die mich selbst an Gedanken erinnert, die ich immer wieder habe – eine Welt des kollektiven Bewusstseins, des spirituellen Lebens im Einklang mit der Natur. Vielleicht sind wir tatsächlich, wie es im Buch angedeutet wird, Botschafter aus anderen Dimensionen.
Wer bereit ist, in eine andere Wirklichkeit einzutauchen, ein erweitertes Bewusstsein zu entwickeln und sich von mystischen wie spirituellen Ideen inspirieren zu lassen, wird in diesem Buch nicht nur spannende Unterhaltung, sondern auch wertvolle Denkanstöße finden. Es lädt dazu ein, über den Tellerrand der materiellen Welt hinauszublicken und sich für tiefere Zusammenhänge zu öffnen.
Vielleicht wird eines Tages das, was hier als Parabel erzählt wird, mehr sein als nur Fiktion – vielleicht ist es ein Blick in eine mögliche Zukunft. Dieses Buch ist daher nicht nur lesenswert, sondern unbedingt weiterzuempfehlen.

This was very difficult to finish. I got halfway through about 6 months ago, gave up, then restarted as I was determined to finish it. The first one was 5* so I think this one just didn’t live up and the concepts were too difficult to grasp

dość trudne, część pierwsza jako film o wiele przyjemniejsza, tematyka mocno zachacza o energię wszechświata połączona z religią

Again, a bit too much drama and taking it a bit too far for me, with dodging bullets, treating this like a matrix. But if life does develop like that, hey ho.

The Tenth Insight by James Redfield
I have been struggling to finish this book so I pushed through today to get it off my plate. This book was recommended by one of my coaches. I’m not sure why.
It’s one of those ‘story as a metaphor’ vehicles to get to a higher meaning of some sort. This is apparently the sequel to a successful previous outing called the Celestine Prophecy. Apparently that previous story was about the discovery of lost insights.
This book was the further adventures to find the 10th insight, the previous 9 already being trotted out in the previous book.
I felt like I was trapped in a 70’s sitcom about group therapy. The story that was to be the wrapper for the golden nuggets of insight felt entirely constructed and mechanical.
When we finally got through running around the forest to the point of the big reveal there were a couple pages of thought provoking thought bubbles.
Basically, the insight is that we are all in this together and if we could only feel the unifying spiritual vibes we could fix everything.
People don’t live and die solely in this dimension or physical existence. There is another dimension or ‘afterlife’ that is part of a continuum. You come into this world with a birth vision as a spiritual being to get spiritual things done, but then you forget and make all the same mistakes.
But, the good news is that over the course of human (and universal) history (and future) we are evolving not only physically but spiritually. Like tribes become city states become nations our spiritual natures will coalesce towards a common thing as well. But only if we pray hard and think positive thoughts.
Because the world is split into those that are spiritually headed towards this grand unification of sprits and those who are stuck with fear (cue up Revelations here).
Not much of a payoff for having to slog through the B-movie script. Would have made a good A-Team episode…or maybe Love Boat.
And – to stick it in your eye at the end he cues up a sequel. Hey, maybe a miniseries on the Lifetime Network with Queen Latifa as God and Betty White as the concerned scientist…

In the sequel to The Celestine Prophecy, Redfield moves the fictional spiritual adventure to the wilds of the North Carolina Appalachians, an area with which the author is quite familiar. His knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area as well as topography, resulted in the setting feeling more realistic to this reader. The unnamed protagonist has returned home from Peru and has isolated himself after trying to incorporate the 9 Insights into his life and becoming frustrated by people's lack of understanding. It is a phone call that his friend Charlene, who was the person who was caused him to go to Peru to begin with, is lost somewhere in the Appalachian wilderness. Due to the strong connection he has with Charlene, he enters the forest and in the process meets again with Wil, who has already progressed beyond the 9th Insight, and is experiencing the 10th Insight, one that has never been written down. It can only be found in a person's own internal insight, when merging with others who too begin to have an internal vision of the 10th insight and how the history of the world has taken man to the societal turmoil we are in today. While searching for Charlene the protagonist has visions of the past, meets the very same people from his past life who will play an essential role in this life. It will take their combined knowledge of the 10th Insight to save a pristine valley from destruction by an intense energy source that is the obsession of a man who once held the same beliefs of a World Vision that the other 6 major players in this tale hold. They may have stopped this man in this valley, but it isn't over yet.

A great overview of the original ten insights. I am rereading it now, and it sounds a lot like what is happening in the U.S. right now. People need to grow spiritually, and are afraid of change. So extreme left and right wing people are just making up lies because they are so obsessed with their beliefs, they are not open to listening to any facts that differ from them. Even though what each side says is not The Truth, both sides refuse to even listen or compromise. The Truth is when all of them agree to come into alignment, and stop trying to fight, because the more you resist something, the more it will stay out of your reach. They must agree on a whole different set of Truths, because neither side knows what it is, they are holding on so hard to the lies.
Perhaps neutral people could bring the sides together. Religious fanatics actually want to see the End of the World, because they really believe what their Holy Books tell them. But the World can go on, if fanatics could stop and be reached on a mental level. We don't have to destroy the Earth. But many of us have to work harder to put out positive energy and try to see the light.

"Wiara to pewność pochodząca z poznania, jak wszystko miałoby wyglądać. Nasi przodkowie to wiedzieli, ale większość z nas tego już nie wie." (s. 22)
(...) Kapitalizm z ludzką twarzą jest możliwy - powiada Redfield. Będzie to kapitalizm z gospodarką planową, który działa na zasadzie...dziesięciny, a nie maksymalnego zysku. Praktykują to już przecież adwentyści, część zielonoświątkowców i baptystów, a nawet mormoni... Bardzo postępowa inspiracja. Hosanna! Widać, że autor obserwuje politykę i gospodarkę światową - czyta gazety (i niestety także ezoterykę) - ale jego teorie i wizje (zwłaszcza gospodarcze) wydają się cokolwiek śmieszne i mocno sekciarskie. Jego świat przyszłości mocno zalatuje naiwną wizją Becky Chambers w "A Psalm for the Wild-Built". Czyżby i ona była adeptką pseudokościoła Redfielda?
