It was many years ago (early 90’s) when I first read The Celestine Prophecy. A senior in high school and a member of the Book of the Month Club (kind of like clicking Subscribe on your favorite blog page nowadays), I was always open to new thoughts and ideas that just weren’t the norm. I always had a sense that way too many things in school, my town, my family, society as a whole, are done and repeated just because that’s the way it’s done. Culture, history, societal norms, peer pressure…these all tend to resist change, and if you’re going to embark on any changes, be prepared to be a square peg in a round hole. For me, the worst answer I’ve ever gotten to a Why question was “Just because”. Well…this itchy feeling to answer the neverending why, along with the spanky new book that just came in the mail, were about to be the first dominos flicked in what would be a lifelong skydive into continued bewilderment.
