Redfields book had just come out, and the reaction I recieved in Peru was fascinating. A number of us commented how we sometimes woke in the middle of the night gasping for air, and most of the group sucked on an oxygen cylinder at least once. I thought I was a little unfit, but compared to many I was gliding up those hills, although everytime I stopped I wasn’t breathing hard, I was gasping trying to get some oxygen from the air. The air up here is remarkably thin and low on oxygen. Where ever we went there seemed to be steps and more steps, never going down, always up. ![]() Located about 10,000ft up in the Andes we danced between Cusco, Macchu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and La Paz. ![]() You may wonder what breath has to do with the nine insights of the Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, but I can tell you that in our recently finished Spirit of the Inca’s tour, where Dave Rogers and I led a group from seven different countries through Peru & Bolivia, breath was something most of us learned to appreciate.

He then becomes friends with Chiang, the wisest seagull, who takes him beyond his previous self education and teaches him how to move instantaneiously to any other location in the universe. Along the journey, he meets another seagull that loves to fly. There is a better world that is found through perfecting knowledge.
