A profoundly moving continuation of The Celestine Prophecy. The plot has many clues and visions and moves with the speed of a first-class thriller.

Abilene Reporter-News

The strength of this book comes from Redfields message that the future will be dramatically better than the present. The story in this book goes well beyond its predecessor, especially in the range of ideas it covers.

Body Mind Spirit magazine

As you read THE TENTH INSIGHT, you might see parts of yourself and others that youve never seen before. You might also see the need for change. The Tenth Insight must be experienced personally. In the first nine insights, for example, intuition is experienced as gut feeling, but in The Tenth Insight you actually live it out.

Sunday Record (NJ)

A colorful, imaginative pilgrimage. Some of the visionary moments in the story remind me of the kind of imagination operating in classic stories like the Hindu Ramayan or the Chinese Journey to the West. It is a way of thinking that gives palpability to obscure areas of psychological and spiritual experience, so that impulses toward what is traditionally viewed as other-worldly are given a level of earthiness.

For my wife and inspiration

Salle Merrill Redfield

M y heartfelt thanks to everyone who had a part in this book, particularly Joann Davis at Warner Books for her ongoing guidance and Albert Gaulden for his sage counsel. And certainly, my friends in the Blue Ridge Mountains, who keep the fires of a safe haven burning.

L ike The Celestine Prophecy, this sequel is an adventure parable, an attempt to illustrate the ongoing spiritual transformation that is occurring in our time. My hope with both books has been to communicate what I would call a consensus picture, a lived portrait, of the new perceptions, feelings, and phenomena that are coming to define life as we enter the third millennium.

Our greatest mistake, in my opinion, is to think that human spirituality is somehow already understood and established. If history tells us anything, it is that human culture and knowledge are constantly evolving. Only individual opinions are fixed and dogmatic. Truth is more dynamic than that, and the great joy of life is in letting go, in finding our own special truth that is ours to tell, and then watching the synchronistic way this truth evolves and takes a clearer form, just when its needed to impact someones life.

Together we are going somewhere, each generation building upon the accomplishments of the previous one, destined for an end we can only dimly remember. Were all in the process of awakening and opening up to who we really are, and what we came here to do, which is often a very difficult task. Yet I firmly believe that if we always integrate the best of the traditions we find before us and keep the process in mind, each challenge along the way, each interpersonal irritation can be overcome with a sense of destiny and miracle.

I dont mean to minimize the formidable problems still facing humanity, only to suggest that each of us in our own way is involved in the solution. If we stay aware and acknowledge the great mystery that is this life, we will see that we have been perfectly placed, in exactly the right position to make all the difference in the world.

Spring, 1996

I looked, and behold,

a door was opened in heaven:

and the first voice which I heard was as a trumpet

talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show you

things which must be hereafter. And immediately

I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven.

and there was a rainbow round about the throne,

in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne

were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four

and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first

heaven and the first earth were passed away.

I walked out to the edge of the granite overhang and looked northward at the scene below. Stretching across my view was a large Appalachian valley of striking beauty, perhaps six or seven, miles long and five miles wide. Along the length of the valley ran a winding stream that coursed through stretches of open meadowland and thick, colorful forestsold forests, with trees standing hundreds of feet high.
