Does James Redfield’s vision enlarge the imagination - br definitely, it offers an alternative view, energetic and br refreshing, I enjoy his lyrical descriptions, but resent br his forcing HIS view of world peace on us br br All other views encompassed by his delineation of br history as evolution towards consciousness whereas br I believe consciousness came first, made the plans, br laid the blueprint; convinced the universe is filled br br With higher forms of intelligence than humans; his view br is restrictive, yet he subsumes everything, though bigger br than materialism, it is a local vision not taking millions of br alternative life-forms into account br br He reinstates mystery, but it is localised, limited to planet br earth and one Afterlife, he wants all fighting groups to start br discussing their life and views – it will not work because he br uses Christian religion as the umbrella framework br br He fills the contemporary Western view of human history with br Eastern mysticism and calls it a new World Vision… br br The Tenth Insight – James Redfieldbr br Margaret Alicebr br
