Books in the Celestine Prophecy series
James is famed for authoring The Celestine Prophecy series whose themes include self-improvement, consciousness, and harnessing spiritualism. James’ philosophical education—especially relating to: the Asian philosophy, notably the Taoism discipline; and the Mesoamerican civilizations, particularly the Maya—inspired The Celestine Prophecy series whose first book, also titled The Celestine Prophecy, is dated 1993.

The Celestine Prophecy has the following nine major parts. One: A Critical Mass. It recounts a meeting, at a hotel, between its narrator and a certain Charlene whom a United Nations-associated firm had dispatched to Peru for a demographic-related research that takes her to the University of Lima; wherein Charlene learns about an ancient Mesoamerican “Manuscript”, dated 600 B.C., that foretells extensive human development—regarding spiritualism, particularly consciousness—starting from late 20th century. Two: The Longer Now; the narrator meets Wayne Dobson, a history professor at the New York University, wherein they partially discuss the Manuscript, including the so-called First Insight that concerns being aware of coincidental unexplained mysteries, and the Second Insight that concerns an extensive historical review of the last 1000 years.

Three: A Matter of Energy. The narrator and guide Wilson James travel to a research garden in the Peruvian Amazon, where they learn about the Third Insight that involves knowing the energy associated with the physical realm. Four: The Struggle for Power involves the Fourth Insight, which is interpersonal energy. Five: The Message of the Mystics is about the Fifth Insight, which is an alternate source of energy to replenish human energy.

Six: Clearing the Past. The narrator is in the Andes Mountains, where he learns about the Sixth Insight, which involves energy manipulation and intimidation through emotional blackmail, thus the need for sanitizing oneself. Seven: Engaging the Flow is about the Seventh Insight, which discusses conscious self-evolving, looking for coincidences, and universal answers.

While tracing Charlene, the narrator chances upon Wilson James who hints that the Tenth Insight concerns knowing intuitions and the interrelation between spiritual renewal and various dimensions. Three: Overcoming the Fear; where the narrator talks fearlessly about entering other dimensions, particularly concerning not only insecurities but also the ultimate transition from the physical realm to one’s afterlife. Four: Remembering is about the importance of recalling events, including dreams that both heal and increase one’s energy.

Five: Opening to the Knowledge; relates to harnessing the other dimension-related sacred openings leading to realms that may facilitate one-on-one meetings with ancestors. Six: A History of Awakening; it is about the narrator’s spiritual awakening, wherein he observes humanity’s transition from prehistoric nomadism and civilization to conquests and unifications.
