The Celestine Prophecy Revisited with Salle Merrill Redfield and James Redfield

According to its authors, Salle Merrill Redfield and James Redfield, the phenomenal success of The Celestine Prophecy simply indicates a rising awareness throughout humanity at this time—that spiritual reality can be a direct personal experience, not confined to theory and creed. This “spiritual renaissance” is a global phenomenon, says James Redfield, and he tells how we can further this vision in the face of skepticism and opposition. He and his wife and partner Salle describe the waves made by the first book and the significance of the ideas portrayed in it and in its sequel, The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision—Further Adventures of the Celestine Prophecy. “We can move into a full spiritualization of the planet,” says James, “in which human potential is liberated beyond anything that we think is possible now.” (hosted by Michael Toms)
