These ideas are not always expressed in so many words, but their principles are. In the first 15 pages, while the plot is still forming, at least eight basic New Age ideas are introduced: a spiritual awakening is occurring in the world (p.4) humanity is evolving into a higher spiritual consciousness (p.4) seek the experiential (p.5) coincidences have spiritual significance (synchronicity) (p.6) the knowledge contained in the manuscript’s insights has been hidden from most of the world (esoteric, secret knowledge) (p.8) anti-Christian attitudes (p.9) discover truth through experience (p.10) and when the student is ready, the teacher appears (p.15). On the surface, a fictional tale of an American man who travels to Peru in search of an ancient manuscript which contains nine insights, this book actually leads the reader into the maze of mystical New Age thinking. These and other similar ideas can be found in the best-selling book, The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield.
