Rating: Summary: The landslide is over - but a few rocks are still rolling. Review: The TENTH insight!? Don't make the mistake of writing this book off JUST because it comes on the coat-tails of it's highly successful precursor. Admittedly it doesn't have the pathos of Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" or the passion and insight of "Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard Patton. What it does have, is its finger on the pulse of the present consciousness that asks "What more is there? This can't be all there is"? Celestine prophecy has already become a prisoner of its own success, but for good reason. It is a finger that points at some profound truths. For people that haven't had access or interest in 'Newage' belief systems, this book is a great Reader's Digest. It, more perhaps than any other book before it, has made 'spiritual' an openly used word and concept. If it were only for this, it would be worth reading. The naivety of the writing is what makes it so accessible to the general public and therefore a great opener for people who might otherwise dismiss the word 'spiritual' from their daily language. Not as good as it's parent book but still interesting reading.
Rating: Summary: How to make a buck 101 Review: I enjoyed the Celestine Prophecy and even as a fictional work, it contained some insightful and thought-provoking ideas. However, nine was enough. The Tenth Insight is clearly a marketing attempt to take advantage of Prophecy's popularity. It was a thoughtless, rushed attempt to make more money. If you were able to glean anything insightful from this mishmash of New Age mysticism, you really have moved to a new plane of existence.
Rating: Summary: belief is the one sure fire reason for understanding insight Review: from beginning to the beginning of this story makes you want to believe what is going on in this story.I reserve the right to believe because it makes sense and it actualy does not harm anyone nor does it do anything but reinforce religon,sit back and relax enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful possiblity of why we are here Review: Presented in a simplistic fashion, the Celestine Prophecy offers a very nice vision of our present potential and future possibility. Not meant to be a bible for those that need to cling, but simply as a vision of what we can achieve. Anyone out there with questions and a sense of a spiritual awakening can truly believe that we are reaching a point of "critical mass" in our colective consciousness, where by shear weight of numbers a possible transformation of our world culture is possible.Well worth the read, and the exercises that are in it are worth attempting just for your own growth. The world is changing and we can all co-create this new existance.
Rating: Summary: Eleventh Insight: This book is garbage. Review: This was an obvious attempt by the author to cash in on the popularity of his previous works. The only use out of this book I have gotten is to swat flies as I watch TV from my recliner. If ever there was an argument for burning books, this is it.
Rating: Summary: Must read for readers of the Celestine Prophecy Review: This book while not quite as capturing as the first was, in fact, very revealing. The most instersting points made were the indications that groups of people working and harmonizing for specific tasks ie; helping others, healing and cleansing others - mentally. physically and spiritually, can indeed succeed. This might seem odd to the readers unfamiliar with this series, while the readers and believers of the first book in this series, will see the revelation that groups have the ability to generate and observe more energy than a single individual. This is important when considering the problems at hand in our world and more importantly when considering what can or should I do? If you have ever asked yourself either of these questions or if you are just looking for an easy reading adventure book then this is the book for you.
Rating: Summary: As inspiring and moving as the first book Review: I bought this book and didn't read it for a while. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. The explanation of soul groups was inspirational to me, as I have felt this myself. It goes further in depth, explaining our life missions, how our soul groups help, and how to remember why we came and how to hold the vision. There are new characters as well as some familiar ones from the first book. They are all well done and James does a good job of making us feel as if we know them. To not appreciate this book, is to demonstrate the ego's need to be pompous. To feel this book has nothing to offer is ludicrous. Read this, as all materials, with an openness that allows in the possibility there might be something that will help you on your journey. Good job, again, James!

Rating: Summary: Rip Off, Questionable , not worth the money Review: The Celestine Prophecies was a something to think about and yes it opened some closed doors regarding the life old question "What If", but neither book can offer any concrete proof regarding its therory. Which leaves at that -only therory. I have much better things to do with my money and time then make someone else rich because of their therories.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding! One of my favorite books. Review: Your enjoyment of this book is in direct proportion to the level of your personal understanding of the Cosmic.
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your time. Review: I really enjoyed the Celestine Prophecy, but the Tenth Insight was not worth the money that I payed for it. I made it half way through the first chapter and I had to stop. While the Celestine Prophecy was thought provoking, the Tenth Insight (or what I read of it) pushed the boundaries of reality and spirituality way past the breaking point.
