2023.03.14. What once might have been Fiction…

The Celestine Prophecy that James Redfield wrote tells a story to speak to his personal spiritual journey:

In the book, the historian explains how the world is currently undergoing an enormous shift in consciousness, elaborating on how things had been generally understood (until now) to be: 1) In the beginning, people believed the world to be governed by the forces of divinity; everything could be explained as an act of a god or gods, 2) With increasing knowledge of the world, brought about by scientific inquiry, people turned to the men and women of science for an explanation of life and their world, and 3) Since the problem of how to find meaning in the world could not be solved by science, people chose to instead focus on efforts to improve their lives materially, subduing and plundering the earth for its natural resources, with a hyper-emphasis on controlling economic conditions and market fluctuations. What was now occurring, explained the historian, was that the baseness of our current conditions had begun to infect our souls as well. We had become restless and desperate, primed for another fundamental shift in consciousness so as to bring about the creation of a new, better world.

The book is a first-person narrative of spiritual awakening. The narrator is in a transitional period of his life and begins to notice instances of synchronicity, which is the belief that coincidences have a meaning personal to those who experience them.

In the Tenth Insight James Redmond writes that each individual soul is part of a larger “Soul Group”, which shares the mission of helping the evolution of the human soul as part of the cosmos of which our planet is a part.

After all, it is only a story but how come so many people I am working with who are awakening feel that they are part of another story emerging in the midst of the one that humanity thinks it is living?  Present beyond the story we have been given and seeking to remember and awaken ever more…I wonder.

James Redfield, the author of The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, writes widely on the topic of human spiritual awareness and is active in the worldwide effort to save our last remaining wilderness areas. James lives with his wife, Salle, and cat, Meredith, in Alabama and Arizona.

One of my favorite powerful conversations was with him after a speech he was giving.

All of us who are part of another story is rising now and finding a way to bring these connections with Creation stories back into the reality of human beings. This is my way.
