James Redfield: Oneness is the Key to Peace

James Redfield in the video below speaks about Oneness and the meaning and purpose of life. He speaks of this generation that they will experience a shift in consciousness. He speaks of inspiration and intuition and I can certainly say in my life that has been the modus operandi of my decisions and the framing of my perception and experience.

I found his comments interesting regarding the enemy, he spoke of the great mystics who said love your enemy and connect with them. If you have enemies it is not something you are doing to them it is something you are doing to yourself because you cut yourself off. As soon as you have a negative idea or feeling of revenge or getting back at someone, it doesn’t hurt them it hurts you as you cut yourself of from the source of inspiration. He states it is imperative for people to integrate this experience into a full life, no other way of doing it, where you practice plugging into the great source, it all flows from there and then the world is experienced as sacred.

I can definitely attest to this in my own experience without any influence from anyone. I am seeing my life as interconnected and I no longer see coincidences. I see one moment after the next unfolding what I need to experience. If I have to work on unresolved issues then something comes to me to prompt me to do it. I am currently house sitting in a house where it has a meditation space attached. I made a conscious decision that I have to meditate more. This house sit came up and it is the perfect place for me to do this. I have numerous examples which I will save for a book. However, it is to say that when you start to see differently, when you see your life as part of the oneness, you don’t see separation anymore, everyone is a character in your story. It is fascinating.

As a peacemaker I see all people as my teacher and I remind myself there is no enemy, that the ‘other’ is my judgement. I seek to serve those who may not see the world in the same way as myself and I do send love to those making war not peace. I see them in a way that is peaceful and evolving. If I feel negative I see I am in the illusion and not in the reality that we are all one. So this very consciousness can only bring you to unity as all is a reflection of yourself and not separate. It takes time to get your heard around this but I can assure you it is the truth and we collectively will step into these new understandings. One way of conceptualising it is to see nature as one energy, all is interconnected. We may think we are separate living in houses yet in truth we are deeply embedded in nature and depend on it 100%. We are part of the ecosystem. 

Redfield is the author of the Celestine Prophecy which I intuitively believed was factual but served up as fiction to enable people to digest the new information. I saw it recently and I recognised the consciousness of oneness as similar to my own.

James Redfield (born March 19, 1950) is an American author, lecturer, screenwriter and film producer. He is notable for his novel The Celestine Prophecy (1993). When Redfield self-published his first novel in 1992 (Satori Publishing), the immediate interest from booksellers and readers made The Celestine Prophecy one of the most successful self-published books of all time. Warner Books bought the rights and published the hard cover edition in March 1994. The book quickly climbed to the #1 position on the New York Times Best Seller List. According to Publishing Trends, The Celestine Prophecy was the #1 international bestseller of 1996 (#2 in 1995). The novel spent over 3 years on the New York Times Best Seller List. As of May 2005, The Celestine Prophecy had sold over 20 million copies worldwide and had been translated into 34 languages. In 1996, the sequel, The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision (Warner Books), also became a bestseller. The two books spent a combined 74 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller List, making their author the best-selling hard cover author in the world in 1996, as cited in BP Report (January 1997).

In his non-fiction title, The Celestine Vision: Living the New Spiritual Awareness (Warner Books, 1997), Redfield explored the historical and scientific background of the “emerging spirituality” discussed in his novels. The Celestine series of adventure parables continued in 1999 with the publication of The Secret of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight (Warner Books). In 2002, Redfield joined author Michael Murphy and filmmaker Sylvia Timbers in a collaborative non-fiction work entitled God and the Evolving Universe (J.P. Tarcher).

The novel was filmed as The Celestine Prophecy, which made its U.S. theatrical (Celestine Films) and DVD (Sony Pictures) release in 2006. Redfield produced and co-wrote the screenplay (with Barnet Bain & Dan Gordon).

James and Salle Redfield are the founders of the Global Prayer Project, a bi-weekly telewebcast which offers guided prayer and meditation.

Redfield’s newest offering, The Twelfth Insight: The Hour of Decision, was published by Grand Central Publishing in February 2011.
