the film give a rather condensed version of what be contain in the book and which as far a i can tell by do some research and investigative fact checking be largely a work of fiction . in reality and there be no ancient scroll and if the author be hard press i be sure he would have to admit he never lay eye on any scroll in ancient aramaic find in peru . these valuable text write a usual by anonymous and be destroy by the evil truth hater in the church and in the local government . that rather strange and a all kind of new age crap come out each year hundred of book and dozen of movie and the roman catholic church doesn not seem to me to be hell bent on destroy the movement which it probably view a i do and a total crock of doody . i be no fan of the church and mind you and but at least the ancient text which they base their faith on be real . it a typical pattern of scam artist and religious huckster to claim to have see or translate ancient document which unfortunately get destroy by evil men or in joseph smith case and get take back to heaven once translate . therefore and the actual text can not be find in any museum like the smithsonian and nor the translation check by specialist in ancient language like coptic or aramaic . it a scam . in one sense and i admire anybody smart enough to come up with a great idea and make million off it and but i couldn not do it myself and a i have no desire to mislead the public with more new agey hokum . occasionally and a genuine ancient text do get find hidden away and lose for year . the gospel of juda and a gnostic text and be discover and after carbon dating and diligent study of the text and deem authentic by expert . the gospel of juda be reference a heretical around 300 c. e. no church document from that time mention any celestine prophecy a authentic and heretical or anything else . we be evolve towards something that much be true but the optimism in the celestine prophecy be base on nothing but fiction and lie and and a philosophy build on a foundation of lie and like a castle build on sand will collapse . the harsh and ugly and overpopulate and cruel world of blade runner be more likely what it will be like over the horizon and than some utopian hippie commune where all be love and peace . i tell people the truth and they hate me and but tell them what they want to hear and even if pure piffle and and one can make million . the celestine prophecy be what the world want to hear . too bad it be a castle build on sand . don not get me wrong . i wish to god and the celestine vision be reality and only it not . no ancient philosophy at any time express idea give in the insight with the modern concept of spiritual evolution go hand in hand with biological evolution . these new agey idea do not exist in the ancient world and do not exist until darwininan evolution become well know . that mean the idea in the celestine prophecy can not be old than the 1800s c. e and and do not go back to the early b. c. e period or near the time of jesus of nazareth . this type of claim by new agers be not at all unusual . wiccan claim their brand of magic and witchcraft the old religion go back to the stone age and when in reality no book of shadow have ever be know to exist prior to gerald gardner who live in the 1900s and be the buddy of aleister crowley . new age guru tell lie and claim their idea be base on ancient teaching and when the ancient would thumb their nose at such absurdity that be preach by guru today . why do they do what they do and perpetrate such fraud . simple represent there be million of dollar to be make and and the modern guru acquire power over his or her follower . they compete fiercely and have a strong hatred for their competition despite their claim of love for all thing . each new age group bitter oppose the others . it a struggle for your mind and your wallet . but learn one thing from me and that be actually similar to one of the insight and learn to follow your own instinct and look for guidance from within . that i can agree with wholeheartedly .
