I read this book when I first moved to Sacramento from San Francisco and was going through some major changes in my life. The authors intentions are clear throughout the Celestine Prophecy series: the world is in your hands, you can make of it what you please, the world is a wonderful place, and life is to short for negative thoughts.
Let me start by saying that I loved The Celestine Prophesy. It's one of my favorite books of all time. I love how it talks about human relationships and interactions. Even though it's all presented in a very spiritual way, I also found it very relatable on a personal level.
I didn't understand the second book at all, since it felt so esoteric and there was nothing in it that I could relate to. I'd put this third book somewhere in the middle. In it our hero goes to Tibet, on a quest for the mythic...more

This gets a big 5 stars, not entirely for the the story itself but for the message of how to use ones power to help create a change in this world.
I have practiced the works described in this book for the better part of 20 years now, what I call my Spitural Work. It is rewarding to think that everyone who has held this book in their hands now possesses the knowledge of how to create their thoughts to be the single most important thing in the universe at that moment in time.

Redfield's books are to spiritual seekers what the romance novel is to single women. They're so fun to read, even if they're a little over the top.
This one is infinitely better than the 10th Insight. I love the idea of the prayer field, although I don't care for the terminology, and how we must deal with our negative emotions or else we'll be running into our projections of them all over the 'real world.' The idea of paradise presented in this novel is exciting, creative, and inspiring. That al...more

This book was a fairly easy read and pretty enjoyable. I did appreciate the insight into the situation with Tibet/China as well. While I don't buy into the whole 'one day we'll all be vibrating at the highest level' thing I do think he makes some good points and I like the idea of setting positive intentions, being on the lookout for 'coincidences' and sending out positive energy.

This is not meant to be great fiction, Redfield merely tries to divulge his ideas via fiction in order to make them more palatable. He does a decent job of describing his ideas of Intention..which he calls prayer fields. The last few chapters drag and most of the story is pretty boring. Redfield doesn't challenge his characters in any of his fiction, they just meander along from incident to incident, and because of this they never feel real. I always take away a few good thoughts from Redfields...more

Of the three Celestine Prophesy series, I liked this best.... because it told of an ideal spiritual society. To me, it was a glimpse of spiritual potential, even if this is a fiction book. Since reading this book, I've had a fascination with Tibet, prayer flags, the Himalayas. Too bad Redfield won't have a sequel to until early 2011 next year...it is about time!

This is the best one of the series of 3. Very spiritual in a differnt sort of way. I don't know if you would call it new age or no, but maybe. Really interesting ideas even though of the 3 this on is the most far out for sure.
This book gives a lot of insight into how we as individuals are responsible for our own energy and how it affects others. A look at the world's situation now and how it could change into something much greater whe we each learn compassion and look for the highest good in each other.

What a wild ride! In order to really understand the (intended) progress of this book you have to start with The Celestine Prophecy, and then the following book, The Tenth Insight – overall, it’s a six-book series, folks. The four books tell the story, the fifth book is The Celestine Vision, and the sixth is a workbook.

I really liked this book, I had my doubts that after the Celestine Prophecy the sequels wouldn't live up to it. I was wrong.
This book is a brilliant sequel and portrays spiritual values effectively through the story. I recommend the reader to apply these principles to every day life.

Another fantastic book by James Redfield! If you read the Celestine Prophecy then you must read this as it is the next steps of using your energy to progress your life. Once you can achieve that great loving energy in yourself then you use that to expand it into the world. This influences people and your environment into your favor if done correctly. I apply these methods and can atest for positive loving energy. It works!!

I must admit I immediately succumbed to the flow this book transmits. Being someone highly predisposed into believing in energy and the power of pray, the action behind it was something I kind of neglected. Rather, I spent most of the time looking into all sorts of information James would write on how the Universe works and how Shambhala is portrayed. It was beyond amusing or entertaining, it was enriching, like food to the soul. James' writing skills are highly precise, describing magnificent l...more
This book contains some awesome ideas about the power of our minds being much more than we think it is...energy that actually extends beyond what most people think they are (the body, rather than the True Self, the Mindstream). The Buddha said that 'we create our reality with our thoughts' and this book elaborates on that, discussing how we can learn to turn the world towards a higher plane using thoughts focused on positivity. Although it is couched in a fictional setting, the ideas are from th...more
'You will learn that at these higher levels of energy, our fields of prayer act very quickly to bring to us exactly what we expect. If we fear, it brings to us what we fear. If we hate, it brings us more of what we hate.'

When we look out at others and make judgements, thinking that they are fat or thin or underachieved or ugly or poorly dressed, we actually send our energy out at these people and they often begin to think bad thoughts about themselves. We are engaging in what can only be called the energy of evil. It is the contagion of negative prayer. Of course we have to see things the way they are, but after that we must immediately shift our expectations from 'what is' to 'what could be'.

If you've read the other books of the series, Celestine Prophecy, The Tenth Insight, then you know that they're leading to our Evolution as the Spiritual Beings we are. In The Secret of Shambhala, we become informed of our Power to Co-Create through the Prayer Field that surrounds us. That Prayer must be done as Affirmation, not beseeching, in order for the reality of it to Manifest in our Lives.

I liked it a lot. Lots of great ideas and thoughts about energy and how we affect our environment and life paths. Something that i am curious about.
Sad to say though that 15 years later Tibet is not saved as predicted! and the world religions seem to have grown further apart and further consumed with hate for one another. Materialism has even greater appeal and power.

Loved this book and am grateful for having read The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight - Holding the Vision previously. This book was a definite call to action to really live more consciously at all levels. This acknowledges the difficulty that one can have doing that but the story illustrates so much why it is required to get past that fear. I found it so encouraging that I highly recommend it to everyone who is ready for it. Thanks to the author for this work as well as all that is being...more

This is a quite interesting book. This book deals more with synchronicity and energy extension. Beauty of Tibet and Himalayan regions has been wonderfully described. The most interesting part is the temples in Shambala. The American man, Yin and Tashi are wonderful characters. Their view of the Outer Worlds from the Shambala is simply wonderful. The current state of the Outer worlds and the limitations are revealed. However, questions like what made Dakinis to help people are unexplained. This i...more

I couldn't tell you when I started or finished this honestly because I read the series then gave them to a friend. Then checked them out at the library and read them again. Then purchased them at a used bookstore so I could have them and read them again. A favorite of mine that inspires me aknew when I read it again. I have believed these things as a follower of Eckankar, but his books made me feel there was another step I hadn't taken.
The Secret of Shambhala is the third book in the Celestine Prophecy series. Just like the second book in the series, this one examines just one teaching, the entire book being dominantly about that one (although at times it refers to all previous ones). It's not the best stand-alone book, so if you are interested, I suggest you read the entire series, starting from the first book. A great spiritual journey, taking place at beautiful locations.
I love reading books by James Redfield. Like the others, this book focuses on accessing and maintaining our spirituality and our way of being in the world. I always find these books to be enlightening all within an easy and flowing way of writing.
I would definitely recommend this book but start with the Celestine Prophecy and work your way through the series or this book may not make sense since each book builds upon the theories in the previous book.

Having read the Celestine Prophecy some time ago I bought this a few months back and only just decided to read it.
An interesting parable that focuses on the law of attraction and how our thoughts influence everything around us.
I found the ending a little simplistic, but the book in general thought provoking and affirming of my beliefs.
