The universe is energy that responds to expectations.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
In reality, there are no enemies; we're all souls in growth, waking up.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
[Learn] to slow down and perceive the mysterious events and opportunities that happen in life. We call them coincidences, but if we look closely we see they are meaningful. They bring us just the right information at just the right time to extend our careers, relationships, and growth. These events feel destined in some way, as though the world is set up to help us make a better life, work through our problems, and reach our dreams - if we just pay attention.

Dreams come to tell us something about our lives that we are missing.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
All I've done is put into words what all of us are about. We're now at the archetypal stage of being ready to move from a material to a transcendent world view of culture. I'm only articulating what dwells in the consciousness of a good part of the masses now. That's why the response.
JAMES REDFIELD, interview, Edge Magazine, Jun. 1, 1994
The basic stuff of the universe, at its core, is looking like a kind of pure energy that is malleable to human intention and expectation in a way that defies our old mechanistic model of the universe--as though our expectation itself causes our energy to flow out into the world and affect other energy systems.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
Beauty is something we can affirm and intend to have more of. What happens then is our perceptual ability, no matter where we are, expands in that direction.
JAMES REDFIELD, Beliefnet interview, "The Evolution Revolution"
Each of us is the next step in evolution along the lineage created by our two parents. Our higher purpose on earth can be found by recognizing what our parents accomplished and where they left off. By reconciling what they gave us with what they left us to resolve, we can get a clear picture of who we are and what we are meant to do.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
Loving and energizing others is the best possible thing we can do for ourselves.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
Everyone who crosses our path has a message for us. Otherwise they would have taken another path, or left earlier or later. The fact that these people are here means that they are here for some reason.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
We can become inspired to shape a higher, more ideal future, and when we do, miracles happen.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
Our experience of love is more of a measure of whether we're connected with the universal source of this energy. In other words, there's some life energy that we have and sort of share with people we might be relating to that takes place, that operates whether we're sort of feeling in a state of love or not. But love is the measure of whether we're really connected with the internal source of this energy where we can consciously sort of fill up and amplify the amount of energy that we're able to take in from the inside.
JAMES REDFIELD, interview with Janice Stensrude, Mar. 24, 1994
One of my teachers once said that the way you know you're on the right path is that it works. Now, that doesn't mean you don't run into blocks and brick walls, but it does mean that you can find a way around them or find a way to change yourself or your project in order to find the flow again and have it work.
JAMES REDFIELD, Beliefnet interview, "The Evolution Revolution"
We must assume every event has significance and contains a message that pertains to our questions ... this especially applies to what we used to call bad things ... the challenge is to find the silver lining in every event, no matter how negative.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
Sexual union is a holy moment in which a part of Heaven flows into the Earth.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. It's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. This is what the mystics speak about. The insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. So it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. That is what the 'aha' is.
JAMES REDFIELD, interview, Awareness Magazine
It is important to communicate to children about what we are going through. We often speak in half truths. We don't frame the truth or explain our experience in terms they can understand. We need to take time to do this. What has to happen is that more people have to get involved with more children. Focus energy on the child. Children are raising themselves these days in all sorts of strange ways.
JAMES REDFIELD, interview, Edge Magazine, Jun. 1, 1994
If we knock on the door until it opens, not taking no for an answer, our lives will be transformed as we step up into a higher awareness.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
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.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
How many people do you know who are obsessed with their work, who are type A or have stress related diseases and who can’t slow down? They can’t slow down because they use their routine to distract themselves, to reduce life to only its practical considerations. And they do this to avoid recalling how uncertain they are about why they live.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
When we cultivate mystical awareness or transcendent identity--which is a natural outgrowth of meditation and other practices--what happens is that we begin to take a witness position on our own lives, and that includes our minds. We break the illusion that we think our own thoughts, which is not always the case. Some ideas just arrive in our heads.
JAMES REDFIELD, Beliefnet interview, "The Evolution Revolution"
We're just animals, creatures smart enough and unlucky enough to have figured out we're alive, and we're going to die without ever knowing any purpose. We can pretend all we want and we can wish all we want, but that basic existential fact remains—we can't know.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision
You should never take responsibility for more children than you can give attention to.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
When each expects the other to live in his or her world, to always be there to join in his or her chosen activities, an ego battle inevitably develops.
JAMES REDFIELD, The Celestine Prophecy
As we blossom or awaken, we begin to notice there is a force in the world that seems to be operating and leading us into a certain destiny. And it's very much a kind of detective effort on our own part to figure out what these things mean. The synchronicity is essentially a meaningful coincidence that brings us information at just the right time. While leading us forward, it also feels very inspiring and destined in a way. It feels like we're on a path of unfolding in our own personal evolution.
