The Twelfth Insight gave me respite from my daily stresses and
worries, and I looked forward to bedtime each night so that I could, in a sense,
meditate with it, falling into a peaceful slumber after.
I loved The Celestine Prophecy in the 90s. When I saw this
newest novel by James Redfield, I grabbed it, excited to find out what he had
to say about our world and spirituality today. It was not disappointing – I
will definitely reference it again to evoke some of the insights and spiritual
practices which I found inspirational.
As in Celestine, synchronicity (waves of information
unfolding each minute) is a focus – and it is encouraged to master and maintain
this - but from here the author moves on to the protection, connection,
purpose, and the opportunities which arise for us to take part in others synchronicities
in a positive way.
A few fun practices (my interpretation from the novel):
Synchronicity is preceded by the intuition to act or do
something. It may be very spontaneous (drops
in your mind), but if you go with the flow, synchronicity will follow, letting
you know you’re on a path.
Intuition is different from ego and logical self-talk in
that it is not instructive, but that you can envision or feel yourself doing something and it feels good. There
should be an elevation in energy and
then an urging to take action.
Spirituality is a neutral realm - no one owns it and no one
has the ‘correct’ version. The novel points out the importance of all religions
and the wisdom we can gather by not being closed or biased to a certain belief
system – and the magic of sharing our experiences
and truths.
Some of my spiritual truths:
everything is connected and of the same material, just in individual patterns
~ there are ways to connect to higher realms (I have no idea what they are, but
I like to practice ;) ~ and spiritual experiences are likely to be similar in
nature – the human condition.
Reading this novel also influenced me in a way I can’t
describe – I was in a better mood and more relaxed after reading even just a
few pages. Life is not always this way, but I enjoyed the ride.
