The only way I can best describe this book is to compare it to pornography. The plot is flimsy and strings along in unbelievable scenarios, only broken up by lengthy detailed scenes of what the director actually created the media for.

Much like how the skimpily clad, big bosomed girl with pigtails tells the pizza delivery boy she doesn't have any money and perhaps they could work something out, every single person the main character meets asks him about 'the scrolls'...in English...in Peru...and in the correct ascending order. There is absolutely no subtlety. The women need saving. Fucking Gaston is the villain and you clearly know it. Everyone gets arrested and thrown into an actual jail, and then their captors have a change of heart, so let's just let the captives go, shall we? That makes sense.

I respect what message the author was trying to get across. It's sweet. I actually get what you're saying and appreciate it. But you literally wasted my time in this bullshit story in order to do so. This book is classic 1990's TV movie shit. It's really, really terrible.

The audiobook was recommended to me because the woman and her husband thought it was hilarious and said they were literally lol'ing, but I just groaned and rolled my eyes as the book went on. It couldn't even be saved by the narrator, Lou Diamond Philips. Not even Lou Diamond Philips could save this for me! The man is incredible! He often times appears in my dreams as a military or colonist leader; he's impressive! And yet the Celestine Prophecy was still God awful.

Save your time and don't read it.

UGH. This simple exclamation can convey a wide range of emotions. It could be frustration, annoyance, disgust, or even exhaustion. When we say "UGH," it's often a spontaneous reaction to something that doesn't sit well with us. Maybe it's a difficult task at work, a traffic jam on the way home, or a bad experience. It's a way for us to let out our feelings and express our dissatisfaction. Sometimes, just saying "UGH" can make us feel a little better. It's like a release valve for our emotions. However, we can't always rely on "UGH" to solve our problems. We need to take action and find solutions. But in those moments when we're feeling overwhelmed, a good old "UGH" can be just what we need.

Why are you here?

This is a question that might cross your mind as you find yourself in a particular place. It could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe you are here for work, to attend a meeting or complete a task. Or perhaps you are here for pleasure, to enjoy a concert, visit a museum, or simply take a walk in the park.

Who will you meet?

This is another interesting aspect. You could meet old friends, colleagues, or even strangers who might become new acquaintances. The people you meet can have a significant impact on your experience. They might share their stories, offer advice, or simply provide some company.

Where are you going?

This question looks towards the future. You might be going home after a long day, or off to another destination for a new adventure. It could be a nearby city, a different country, or even just to the next room. The possibilities are endless.

These three questions - why you are here, who you will meet, and where you are going - can help you make the most of your time and experiences. By being aware of your surroundings and the people around you, you can create memories that will last a lifetime.

True Romance
One can live a fulfilling life without a relationship. Instead of relying on others for energy, it's important to stay centered in one's own. Don't try to control others' actions. Be honest about your feelings and communicate without blame or manipulation. Avoid using control dramas and stay detached from your lover's problems. Open yourself to messages from coincidences. Feel comfortable being both assertive and receptive, and work towards your own goals.

Characteristics of Thriving Kids
Thriving kids have certain characteristics. They believe "I am capable" and that they contribute meaningfully and are genuinely needed. They think they can influence what happens to them and that their feelings are important. They trust themselves to learn from mistakes, have self-control and self-discipline. They know how to make friends, speak out, listen, cooperate, share, and negotiate. They can be counted on and tell the truth. They understand that things don't always go their way but can adapt when needed. They try to solve their own problems but know when to ask for help.

Shift Perspective
We should know that we are more than our physical bodies. Remember that we have a purpose here but don't let the need to survive make us desperate. Our ultimate goal is not just physical survival. Understand that we are on earth by chance. When we have fulfilled our learning purpose, we may leave. Perceive the world as a place to learn. Participate and enjoy life fully but don't become addicted to it.

The universe presents coincidental opportunities mysteriously to move us towards our destiny. Humans often mistakenly seek attention from each other.

9th Insight
Collectively, we are becoming aware of our essential spiritual nature. The universe is pure energy that responds to our intention. We can feel the mystical connection with universal energy and how it expands our perspective of life. Break free from "control dramas" and define our current life quest by looking at our parental heritage. Learn how to ask questions, receive intuitions, and find answers. Discover how to bring out the best in others.

Unfolding Destiny
As we slow down, we can experience meaning and purposefulness, new directions, and insights. We may even change our occupations and find solutions to social and environmental problems.

Living on Earth
We should revere natural energy sources, sacred sites, and embrace green technology and energizing plants. Follow our guided intuitions.

Next Great Shift
Voluntarily limit reproduction. Recognize that money is another form of energy. Automate goods, release our fear of scarcity and need to control. This will free up everyone's time, prevent excessive consumption, and accelerate the pace of evolution.

Evolution of Spiritual Doctrine
Evolution will be based on spiritual principles. Learn how to find this direction within ourselves. We connect with the same source, and whole groups of people who reach a certain level may become invisible, crossing the barrier between this life and the other world, and reaching heaven on earth.

A Pretty Neat Guide to The Celestine Prophecy

The Celestine Prophecy is truly a remarkable work that offers a plethora of new perceptions and ideas about life. It is of great significance for the general reader, especially when he or she is confronted with spiritual questions.

I first read The Celestine Prophecy in 2003, and it kindled the inner spark of my life. Although later, the books written by Taoist and Zen Masters seemed to be even better once that inner spark was ignited.

This accompanying guide was my first-time read along with a re-read of The Celestine Prophecy after ten years. I felt that the re-read was essential to understand the overlooked perceptions of what the book intended to convey, which I might have failed to grasp a decade ago. And indeed, it was well worth it. This guide was extremely helpful in finding new ways to handle the struggles and situations in our daily lives.

However, now it is time to delve into the "real" Eastern Philosophy books. I look forward to exploring the profound wisdom and insights that these books have to offer. I believe that they will further enrich my understanding of life and spirituality, and help me to grow and evolve as a person.

My rereading of this book was unfortunately interrupted.

However, in fact, it is the kind of book that is specifically designed for intermittent reading or dipping into.

This time around, I discovered that it was even more beneficial.

There is no pushy proselytizing or false bravado.

It simply contains things that are crucial to remember when one is trying to resist the rampant nihilism of the present day.

It serves as a valuable guide, offering practical and meaningful insights that can help us navigate through the challenges and uncertainties brought about by the prevalently nihilistic mindset.

Despite the interruption in my rereading, the book has left a lasting impression on me, and I look forward to delving back into its pages to further explore its wisdom and teachings.

As a teenager, this remarkable book had a profound impact on my entire life.

It was truly a turning point that set me on a new path.

Subsequently, "Road Less Traveled" came into my life and opened up a whole new world of possibilities, leading me towards my future.

Through reading these books, I had a profound realization.

I discovered that I possessed a soul, a spirit that was unique and precious.

There was an energy force within me, a force that could drive me to embrace life with all its beauty and challenges.

This newfound awareness gave me the courage and determination to pursue my dreams and explore the unknown.

I knew that with this inner strength, I could overcome any obstacles that came my way and create a life that was truly fulfilling.

These books had not only changed my perspective but also inspired me to become the best version of myself.

They would always hold a special place in my heart and continue to guide me on my journey through life.

Since we recently visited Peru, I felt an urge to reread this book that is set in the country.

I have to admit that I think I liked it better the first time I read it, which was perhaps a decade ago.

This time around, I found myself more jaded.

I did enjoy the first three or four insights that the book offered, but as I progressed, the last ones seemed rather farfetched.

It was almost as if the author was imagining scenarios that were as unlikely as being able to drive right up to Machu Picchu.

Perhaps my expectations were different this time, or maybe my perspective has changed after actually visiting the place.

Nevertheless, it was still an interesting read, and it did bring back some memories of our trip to Peru.

Overall, while I didn't have the same level of enthusiasm as I did the first time, I'm glad I reread the book.

It made me think about how our perceptions can change over time and how our experiences can influence our view of things.

Maybe I'll give it another read in the future and see if my opinion changes yet again.

Some parts of the work truly resonated with me.

However, it should be noted that reading it at this time, long after his insights have already flooded the collective consciousness, might have had an impact on my overall experience of his work.

Perhaps if I had encountered it earlier, before these ideas became so widely known and discussed, my perception would have been different.

Nonetheless, there were still elements within the text that managed to capture my attention and engage my thoughts.

It made me reflect on how our understanding and interpretation of a work can be influenced by the context in which we read it and the prior knowledge and exposure we have to the ideas presented.

Overall, while the timing of my reading may have had some effect, I still found value in exploring his work and considering the perspectives he offered.

äääh.... For sure, its success doesn't match the quality. There are some interesting philosophical or spiritual insights within it. To me, insight 8 was both interesting and highly relatable. The best aspect of this book was its brevity. It makes me wonder if it served as an inspiration for Dan Brown to pen his great works. If that's the case, then this work has indeed fulfilled a great purpose. I have a great deal of respect for any book that achieves success. Sadly, however, success often brings with it a significant amount of hate and negative energy.
