The other day, our neighbor and good friend, John, brought over
The Celestine Prophecy Movie, recommending that we watch it. I mean, it was 'delivered' to us so why not? (Over the years, we've learned to pay attention to that sort of thing!
) Plus, back when James Redfield's best-selling novel first came out (what 12 years ago or so?), it had been instrumental in altering my vision of the world. I have to admit, though, that I'd pretty much forgotten all about it, except for its emphasis on synchronicity.
The movie follows the spiritual awakening of a man as he gets involved in the discovery of ancient scrolls in the rainforests of Peru. With the help of a small group of people also interested in the Celestine Insights, he gradually comes to understand what the Prophecy is about. As one of the characters tells him, "The Prophecy can't be explained in words, you need to experience it. It has to happen to you."
The 9 Insights
1 We are discovering again that we live in a deeply mysterious world, full of sudden coincidences and synchronistic encounters that seem destined.
2 As more of us awaken to this mystery, we will create a completely new worldview - redefining the universe as energetic and sacred.
3 We will discover that everything around us, all matter, consists of and stems from a divine energy that we are beginning to see and understand.
4 From this perspective, we can see that humans have always felt insecure and disconnected from this sacred source, and have tried to take energy by dominating each other. This struggle is responsible for all human conflict.
5 The only solution is to cultivate a personal reconnection with the divine, a mystical transformation that fills us with unlimited energy and love, extends our perception of beauty, and lifts us into a Higher-Self Awareness.
6 In this awareness, we can release our own pattern of controlling, and discover a specific truth, a mission, we are here to share that helps evolve humanity toward this new level of reality.
7 In pursuit of this mission, we can discover an inner intuition that shows us where to go and what to do, and if we make only positive interpretations, brings a flow of coincidences that opens the doors for our mission to unfold.
8 When enough of us enter this evolutionary flow, always giving energy to the higher-self of everyone we meet, we will build a new culture where our bodies evolve to ever higher levels of energy and perception.
9 In this way, we participate in the long journey of evolution from the Big Bang to life's ultimate goal: to energize our bodies, generation by generation, until we walk into a heaven we can finally see.
Anyhow, Don and I were both blown away at how timely the movie came to us, what with the creation of RFC. It was a little uncanny to see how much of the insights seemed to be embodied in our vision for the forum. In ways that would be difficult to explain, it was yet another confirmation that we are on the right track with this new project of building a virtual community.
If you do watch the DVD, I suggest you check out the 'Behind The Scenes' short documentary. It was neat to see how the movie came together; a story ladened with synchronicities, of course!
