The Tenth Insight is about understanding this whole awareness – the perception of mysterious coincidences, the growing spiritual consciousness on Earth, the Ninth Insight disappearances – all from the higher perspective of the other dimension, so that we can understand why this transformation is happening and participate more fully.
For beings such as Jesus Christ, Muhammad and Gautama Buddha, the capacity for holding the World Vision is already a part of their resume. Among the best candidates in any interview, they will almost always get the position by virtue of their experience and skills. This book is written for the rest of us.
Not long ago, a group of people studying the Celestine Insights, a man raised his hand and asked, ’I’m very concerned about how I can use this information in the real world. I’ve gone to other workshops and talked with people, and we’re all very enthusiastic, but how can I keep that enthusiasm going in the everyday world? How do I keep that feeling going?” He continued, “I’m tired of talking about myself and want to move on to being more involved in the world. How do I do that?’ The man was expressing an idea that each of us is asking. It’s very likely you have said virtually the same thing to yourself. Our culture must ask this question if we are to open to a new worldview that will take us from where we are now to a viable future. Asking, ‘What can I do to serve the world in a positive way?” is important because immediate action is necessary to pull us back from the brink of disaster, but the viewpoint inherent in the question is rooted at the same level that caused our problems in the first place. It’s still addressing the problem in terms of an external action. The real action must be accomplished within each of us – not saving them out there, but shifting the way we view the world and lifting the veil to unknown wisdom and resources in other dimensions in ‘outer reality’ and other dimensions in our inner reality. Once we are working at this multidimensional level, we will have at once aligned ourselves with the evolutionary goal of spiritualizing our physical ‘real’ world, and we will have entered into more fluid process that we can hardly imagine at this point. How do we do that?
Stages of Consciousness
The Tenth Insight, along with the other nine Insights described in The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield, is a stage of consciousness. If you read The Celestine Prophecy, you may have had a surprising sense that you already knew most of those Insights – that somehow you had already learned them, but maybe had forgotten them temporarily. That memory is remind you that you did come into the world with a goal to help make the transition to the next step in consciousness.
At the level of the Tenth Insight, you are also able to recognize some or most of the ancient perennial philosophy that we will review in following paragraphs. At this level of thinking/feeling/intuiting we can say, ‘Yes, I feel these concepts working in my life.’ It’s as if they are living through you.
This awareness is causing you to make a response, like the man who asked the question above. Now what? We’re used to being active, controlling our universe – or trying to – and getting results. But so far, we have been preoccupied with doing something to the other world, not working on our inner world in which consciousness is king and queen. In order to make that shift, we have to deconstruct our old methods and views. That’s what the paradigm shift is all about. Can we deconstruct and decondition our minds, take off our blinders and let the light in fast enough to save ourselves and our planetary habitat? That’s the question that makes us wake up at three and four in the morning.
It’s up to us now – ordinary people stretching into our future. We can do some of the work by choosing to make changes or to love more. However much we are learning and growing and changing our view of what’s possible, we also are being worked on by outer forces. Some of the outside forces that we are already aware of are the ecological disasters that are fueling our fears. These situations are forcing us to pay attention to the consequences of every action we take.
The other forces that are influencing our thinking, collectively and individually, may turn out to be beings in the spiritual dimension who have been watching our progress and who have reached a level of concern for our well-being. Sound ominous? Not really. The spiritual dimension that exists beyond the realm of our five senses is appearing to us individually and collectively to wake us up out of the addiction to complacency, fear, denial and greed that is keeping us trapped in psychospiritual dysfunction. These other dimensions want Earth to flourish as the wonderful, incredibly rich source of love, life, and learning that it has always been. Until now most of us have been unaware of that invisible boundary between these planes of existence. At this point in evolution, with the survival of the planet and all her species at stake, it’s time for the veil to be removed. It’s time to bring in the cavalry. But let’s not get ahead of our story.
