The Third Insight from "The Celestine Prophecy"

It is suggested to read last two posts before going through this post. As, I am going to discuss third insight from the book "The Celestine Prophecy" in this post. So, it is better if you know the first two insights to follow the proper sequence of the book.

We perceive this physical world in one particular sense. We see objects, things and people around ourselves. Different observations make us to establish definition of this physical world. As, time will pass we are going to have different understanding of this physical world. The third insight deals with the existence of invisible energy which can nourish everything present in the universe. The third insight is all about identification of this invisible energy which is going to change our perception towards this physical world.

Scientists are working in this direction especially quantum physics says that all the objects including ourselves are just made up of energy. Nothing is truly solid in this physical world. Every object is just having a particular energy pattern. When we all humans or most of the humans will start realizing these energy patterns, we will have understanding of this new definition of physical world. These different energy patterns carried by different objects and people, will be visible in the form of different colors vibrating within them. One of the character present in the book experienced this phenomenon. Author explained this phenomenon well enough using that character but I think he could be more organized. He randomly wrote things about this third insight without proper sequence. It also made the task difficult for me to express third insight in my words.

I remember something very relevant to this invisible energy discussed by Osho Rajneesh in one of his discourses. If, you do not know about Osho Rajneesh, you can check different videos of him present at this blog or youtube. He discussed in one of his discourses about research happened in the real scientific world. The research was related to growing of plants under two different sets of conditions. One set of plants were grown with greater care and affection. Humans just needed to imagine love and care for plants in their minds. The other set of plants were grown with lesser care and love from humans. The normal things required like water, manure etc. for their nourishment were provided in the same manner for these two different sets. It was noticed that plants who were given more love and affection were more healthy and bigger as comparing to other set. The similar research was also discussed in the book to explain the concept of invisible energy. I think this invisible energy is not other than love. This existence has given birth to all of us. Hence, it is trying to nourish us. We all have capability to unveil all our potential from within us. Existence provides this invisible energy which can synchronize with all of us to help us to be contented. We call it love in traditional sense.

Now just consider a real life example. Have you ever wondered when some old person gives us blessings, it can be good for our health and our existence. It is like giving love in the form of invisible energy. The intentions of the person who is giving us blessings play an important role. Giving blessings is just projecting positive loving energy on someone. This energy can be altered in many ways depending on the intentions of a person.

I would like to discuss here my personal experience. I personally have felt strange phenomenon number of times. It happens just on any random day, when I am walking down the street, sitting on my bed or taking a shower. What happens is everything stands still for few seconds within me. If, that particular phenomenon happens while looking at some person, I feel at particular moment that I never looked at that person in such a way in my entire life. I feel that there is no boundary between me and the person being observed. We both become a single entity. It lasts for few seconds and then this phenomenon suddenly vanishes. I do not see any colors during this phenomenon as mentioned in the explanation of third insight in the book. So, it may be something different or may be something more similar to the coming insights.

The Second Insight from "The Celestine Prophecy"

It is convenient to read last post that I have written about the book "The Celestine Prophecy". In the first post, I discussed about the first insight written in the book. It can give you general idea about what this book is all about and it can help you in understanding what the second insight is. I will discuss all the insights present in the book in the right sequence. This post will be focused on the second insight.

The second insight is a little complex to understand. In simple words, it relates to understanding path of morality throughout entire history that we have crossed. Today, whatever ethics we are having, they have been shaped or influenced by the history. People who lived before us, had totally different moralities than we have today. To understand this insight, one of the character imagined about the past as if he is really living it. He imagined himself in the year 1000 where churchmen were the main authority. They were considered as an interface between God and the humans. They programmed human minds in such a way that humans believed they can have access to God only through them. They injected the concept of devil and God in people's minds. People used to fancy about hell and heaven in a realistic way. This conditioning is still present in the current society but in a lot weaker sense. Later in the history, people like Martin Luther fought against such conditioning and demanded to free the society from the papal Christianity. He demanded that each person should be allowed to interpret religious scriptures in his own way. It was an end of one kind of morality which seemed to be inevitable at that time.

In the 16th or 17th century, Science started proving astronomical things. They proved that Earth revolves around the Sun as opposed to the old traditional saying that Sun revolves around the Earth. Earth was considered as the center of the universe. As, Science came up with more and more mind boggling facts, the things which were considered so certain were not certain anymore and we were left with uncertain and mysterious universe. The definition of Gods and Devils which was prevalent long time back was terribly collapsing. At this time, people needed new definition of God and the existence of ourselves. Science started dominating in every respect and it became a new tool to explore about the universe. It was regarded as the only method now to validate the existence of something. Science started exploring universe but due to its complex nature, we could not reach to any certain result which could define who we really are? and what are the purposes of our lives? So, due to uncertain nature of this existence, our focus started shifting towards becoming more stable economically. We thought to stabilize ourselves in this meantime till scientists resolve mysteries of this universe. The real question that we were trying to explore had lost in the last four centuries and our mind became preoccupied with money and stability only. The second insight is all about this preoccupied mind aspiring for secular and financial security. This preoccupied mind is going to fall and culture will slowly start shifting towards real spiritual questions.

This book was written about 15 years ago. I think at that time, there were only very few scientists who used to talk about God and this mysterious existence. Actually, they used to be certain in their own ways. They used to be biased in their research. They wanted scientific evidence to believe in God. Mystics say that God is one and it cannot be measured. How such a science could prove existence of God as science only talked of measuring things in the laboratories. Their focus was just on electrons and matter at that time.

Later, the concept of dark matter and similar things attracted more and more scientists. Now, scientists believe that 95% of the universe is made up of dark matter which is neither an electron and nor any other particle. What is dark matter this? It also cannot be measured but it is believed to be existing. The notions of traditional science have started failing and now the science has become more open to accept things. The experiments related to Large Hadron Collider can unveil strangest things in front of us. If, we still are not able to solve things, our consciousness will still be evolving automatically breaking down the traditional culture and economics.

The Celestine Prophecy Insight One

I am not a very proficient reader when it comes to books. But, there are certainly some books which have fascinated me a lot. The Celestine Prophecy is such a book that I am currently reading. I have already read some part of this book but I have yet to cover major portion of it. After reading some part of it, I grasped an idea about the content of this book. The book generally talks about how human civilization is going to change within the few decades. According to author a new kind of consciousness is arising within this whole world that is going to diversify our morality and living style. This change is going to develop in the form of nine insights arising one after the other. Author explained about all the nine insights in the form of a story so that book can be more interesting for a reader.



I am going to discuss briefly about the first insight here in this post.
The first insight says that we are going to be aware about the coincidences that happen in our lives. I have few examples of this insight from my personal life. Just taking a small example, I wanted to eat pizza one day but I could not do it because of lack of money or any other reason. Then, I dropped the idea of having pizza. As a coincidence, one of my family member brought pizza at home. It is a small coincidence but I have seen similar incidents hundreds of times in my real life. Whatever the size of your wish is, it is not going to be difficult for this existence to adjust itself. I can be sure that you would have seen such incidents in your life too.

This insight basically deals with shifting and adjusting of this existence to fulfill your needs and wishes. I think movie "The Secret" talks about the same insight but their approach is entirely different. Their approach is to think again and again about a particular wish to make it fulfilled. The movie said that universe or existence automatically adjusts itself to satisfy your wishes or needs. Once, we are aware of this method, we can easily see things unfolding for us.

The alternative way is to forget about your wishes and leaving yourself free in this enormous existence, the existence itself knows what is needed to satisfy you. You just need to be aware of the things. Whatever is happening, you just see things happening but you do not become victim of the things happening in your life. Things will automatically encounter in your life and if you are aware enough, you will notice the mystery of this vast existence. The future will unfold in such a way that you will be amazed to see the things that you considered worst in your life happened for good reasons.

Whatever approach is followed, the first insight focuses on being aware of the coincidences. Start noticing small things happening in your life. May be you needed a special kind of person in your life. You may be having such a person in your life as a friend or lover but you may not be aware that you wanted such a person at some point which existence had delivered it to you. May be you were recalling your old friend sitting in your house on any random day and you got a call from that friend after such a long time but you were not fully aware about this coincidence. May be you wanted to know about some mysterious book and you found this post. Be aware this existence is stranger than you think.

Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation Part 5

[0:00-0:28] The construction of Osho's commune was finally complete in USA. His followers were accumulating in the commune in the large numbers especially young people were fascinated towards him. The presence of a foreigner saint and his growing popularity shocked both the Government and the system present there.

[0:32-0:49] There were no people in the churches there anymore except some old folks. Osho attracted all young people towards himself. So, it was like a threat for them. They thought that he is not supposed to be present in this country.

[0:54-1:21] In America, the main point was, 15 percent of the salaries was deducted that time and used to go to the pope. Many Christians became followers of Osho and they argued that we do not belong to church anymore but we belong to Osho. So, our salaries are not supposed to be deducted.

[1:21-1:44] Slowly, American Government started going against Osho Rajneesh. American Government started refusing visa of people who were from other foreign countries and the rumors were spread regarding illegal activities in the commune. So, Government tried hard to stain reputation of Osho.

[1:47-2:16] Every answer that I give is not present in western culture. I was ready to openly discuss with president Ronald Reagan in the white house. He is a fundamentalist christian. He agrees that Christianity is the only religion of this world and the rest are bogus. It was normal for him to see an enemy within me.



[2:17-2:29] Finally, Osho was arrested in America on the basis of fake accuses. Osho was kept at the unknown place for twelve days.

[2:41-3:05] I was kept in the prison in America. Then on the third day, I was taken to the other one. The supervisor of that prison came to meet me alone. His eyes were full of tears.

[3:06-3:13] It was a great shock to his followers. It was decided later that Osho would not be able to stay in America.

[3:44-4:05] After leaving America, Osho came to India. Osho sent his proposal to thirty two different countries of the world to open his ashram. None of the country permitted Osho to live there. According to Osho, America was responsible for these rejections.

[4:10-4:26] Whenever people come up with new ideas, they are criticized. Buddha, Mahavira and Jesus were criticized too.

[4:33-5:05] In 1987, Osho returned to Pune ashram but he was having bad health issues during this time. It is said that he was given slow poison in America during his imprisonment. He suddenly increased the number of discourses he would give in a day. It is said that he had realized of not having too much of time left.

[5:07-5:28] Death is a dark cave. Yes, it is true that who had known themselves in their lives have enough light in their eyes. They do not forget themselves in the dark cave of death. They know themselves even in the cave of death.

[5:32-5:45] As he said that I would be available in a faster and much better way when I would not be in the body. I would scatter in all the directions and will be present everywhere. It proved to be right.

[5:48-6:02] In 1989, he changed his name from Bhagwan Rajneesh to Osho. Osho means messenger of God. His voice had magical touch. Whenever he used to speak, people would listen to him so carefully.

[6:03-6:21] No matter how much pain you get from the outside world, it does not make any difference. The one who can listen to inner music does not get bothered from the noise happening outside.

[6:24-7:01] But, in April 1989 this magical voice lost somewhere. He used to remain silent. He stopped giving discourses. Now, he just used to sit silent with his followers during meditation time in the evening. May be that is why he gave message of death being a celebration. He wanted his followers not to cry upon his death but to celebrate it like a festival.

[7:04-7:14] Osho died on 19th January 1990. People celebrated his death like a festival.

[7:56-8:25] finally, Osho's wish was getting fulfilled. People were understanding his sayings. People learnt from him living each moment of life and death in a celebration. The things Osho said about thirty years ago, were not liked by people then because of their traditional lifestyles. But now, Osho is more alive than past.

[8:31-8:57] You burn my body after my death. If, somebody would ask me question then from his heart, he will get an answer because I will be there. There is no way to burn me and there is no way to destroy me.

Osho Rajneesh Youtube Documentary Hindi to English Translation Part 4

[0:00-0:23] The number followers of Osho Rajneesh was slowly increasing. His circle of influence was expanding and the number of followers who were from outside India went rising.

[0:30-0:42] Between all this, Osho was hammering old traditions and cultures through his discourses. Some people got attracted towards him through his talks but some felt shocked.

[0:51-0:57] He criticized institutionalized religions in a straight forward way.

[0:57-1:04] He dug the roots of traditional religions and showed to the people that they have nothing on the name of nutrition.

[1:10-1:35] I am critic of religious epics. I support those people who had the same experience as me but I do not support them because books talk about them. I have experienced the same thing but if the epics are in their favour too then I cannot do more than just appreciating the epics that they are right in this regard.

[1:38-2:10] In the month of June in 1970, Osho Rajneesh left his village and came to Mumbai. This is the same woodland tower at pedder road where he bought four bedroom flat on the first floor. He came to Mumbai on the special mission. He created Yuva Kranti Dal (Young Revolutionary Group) in Mumbai. The motive of this group was to create awareness among youth. He also started culture of taking retirement from traditional life style.

[2:15-2:30] Osho made compulsory to wear orange colored clothes for his followers including a locket having picture of Osho. His followers were also given different names and they were called with this new given name.

[2:47-2:53] Fifteen to twenty thousand people used to come in cross maidan in Mumbai to listen to Osho.

[2:57-3:43] Humans have an inner ability to be Buddha. They have come from animal's world but they have brought song of Buddhas. They are to sing this song. Only then, these sufferings and worries will end. We are in this world but we are not from this world. We have to move further. We are continuously being called to move to that other world. How many times will you ignore this? How many times will you keep showing your back?



[4:09-4:25] The number of followers of Bhagwan Rajneesh was increasing but the Mumbai flat was too small for this. Hence, In 1974, Osho decided with his followers to move to Pune.

[4:37-5:04] This is the same Koregaon Park in Pune where Osho's first ashram came into existence. Today, it is known as Osho International which is a meditation resort. People started coming here from all over the world in search of peace. In this meditation resort, meditation was done everyday at 6 am and then at 8 pm Osho himself used to give his discourses for ninety minutes.

[5:10-5:55] The number of followers was increasing. Then, it was like a flood of people from all over the world. People were just getting attracted towards him. People from different parts of the world were living in harmony. There was no altercation at all. The main point is everybody was surrendered to The Master Osho.

[6:02-6:38] Two-three days ago, Saint Lajashankar asked me a question that why do I call this place an ashram. As, there is nothing you can see like an ashram here. There is no temple, no prayer and no scripture is being read. I would say that I call it an ashram because people just understands the language of ashram. I can truly call this place a tavern but he would have then faced difficulty visiting this place.

[6:39-7:25] It was end of 1970's decade. Osho had crossed age of forty. He had white beard now. His eyes were so sparkling and silent. His voice was still magical to attract anybody. Anybody could get attracted towards such a magnetic personality. In this Pune meditation resort, number of people went increasing. People were coming from all the parts of the world to learn meditation. The resort started appearing smaller as comparing to the number of people. It was the time for Osho Rajneesh to move from India to foreign country.

[7:35-8:11] His followers bought 64,000 acres of land in USA for commune. Osho used to talk about such a commune where we can hope to nourish life in a brilliant way, where humans can show their full potential. So, 64,000 acres should be bigger than a normal city? Yes, three times the size of San Francisco. It was 126 square miles.

[8:15-9:25] Finally, Osho decided to build an ashram in USA. His followers bought 126 square miles of land in barren hilly area in Oregon. Osho left India and reached USA in 1980. Followers were working hard day and night to convert this barren land into a paradise. Oregon valley was now thundering with the sounds of dynamites. It was being converted into a paradise. This barren land turned into green valleys. It took four years to build this project. Rajneeshpuram was the name given to this paradise. Such a paradise in which Osho had private jets, airport and brigade of rolls royce cars.
