Product Description
From Amazon
Author James Redfield takes readers to the mountains of Tibet in search of the mythical place called Shambhala, otherwise known as Shangri-La. Like his previous bestselling books, Redfield holds the tension between an adventure travel story (in this book, armed Chinese soldiers doggedly pursue him) and divine encounters. Rather than preach his spiritual beliefs, Redfield likes to portray himself as a naive pilgrim, receiving wisdom and insights from the various guides and teachers he meets on his metaphysical journeys.
Shambhala is indeed a paradise, just as it was lovingly portrayed in the famous James Hilton novel Lost Horizon. It is also a spiritual utopia, and Redfield takes great pleasure in pondering the possibilities of living in a culture that is entirely "focused on the life process." Residents explain their lifestyle, which has emerged from a completely spiritual culture, including some rather sensible opinions about technology, parenting, and even genetic testing. Meanwhile, Redfield remains the wide-eyed observer. Those who loved the characters, writing style, and epiphanies in The Celestine Prophecy will not be disappointed with Redfield's latest inspirational portrait of a new world order. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
The third book in the Celestine series, this slight fable begins with an appealing spiritual quest, but is soon burdened with Redfield's millennial concerns. Still, readers who made bestsellers of The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight are not likely to be deterred, especially those who are interested in Eastern wisdom. Instructed by a neighborhood girl to seek a place of total enlightenment, the narrator makes an imaginary journey to Tibet in search of Shambhala (also known as Shangri-La). Under constant threat by Chinese soldiers, he makes a harrowing passage with the help of human and spirit guides, ultimately reaching the kingdom where the secrets of "the eleventh insight" are revealed in stages. Based on the notion that we attract the events in our lives, the 11th insight reveals that prayer in the form of affirmations and positive energy can empower not only individuals, but whole societies. Readers will find value in Redfield's simply stated comments about building energy through nutrition, posture and thought, and refusing to erode one's energy through negative thinking, including hatred, anger and evil. Redfield believes that baby boomers, with their interest in the human potential movement, have the power to fulfill their generational mission (as their parents did with WWII) by using the 11th insight to counter negative social forces, such as lack of community, youth alienation, environmental destruction, terrorism, the power of centralized technology and genetic engineering of all stripes.

5.0 out of 5 stars
essential reading for some,
By Greg (New Orleans and Philadephia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight (Hardcover)
This is a survival guide for anyone who has successfully raised their vibrations and encountered the problems living in the world at that level. Those who have experienced karay, the calling of visualizations into the physical world, will not find this story farfetched. This book provides very important information on how to control this power. I just came across it in 2003, I wish it was available in 1997, when I had to learn most of the lessons provided the hard way. Many people will not "get it" but to those that do this is essential reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Secret of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight (Paperback)
The book is about a group of people who are trying to stop the Chinese government from discovering Shambhala, a secret holy place hidden in Tibet that hides a society of highly evolved humans. What is so special about these humans is that they are mentally and spiritually evolved to the point that they can manifest their ideas into the physical world. Aside of the sci-fi ideology relating to physical manifestation of ideas, the story has some amazing insights about cultivating positive energies and diet that are definitely true.It may be a work of fiction but the ideas are very insightful and inspiring to the point that I actually believe in them. He combines the idea of cultivating the feelings of love and compassion from Buddhism with the idea of being able to affect the cosmic energies such as discussed in the book "The Secret". This is the first book that made me realize that to truly transform our society we need to cultivate a different perception of the world we live in, the one that is focused on understanding, compassion and respect for all. This is the way to our salvation, the way to create a true paradise on Earth.
