     if you have any administration problems.
     

  6. Are there any requirements to be on the Celestine Prophecy Mailing List?


    7. There are no requirements. An informal practice is to write a short introduction to the list in which you may tell how you came to read The Celestine Prophecy.  A housekeeping request is that messages should be of interest to the entire list. Unless your response is something that we would all benefit from, it is really best to respond to people privately.
     

  7. When I am replying to a post, how much of the original post should I copy?


    8. Copy only those parts that you are replying to, and "snip" (delete) the remainder. The purpose of including part of the original post is to provide continuity and a frame of reference. Too much takes up space and download time.
     

  8. What is the purpose of the Celestine Prophecy Mailing List?


    9. The mailing list is for the discussion of the principles presented in the book The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, and their application to your own life.
     

  9. How was this list created?


    10. Flemming Funch of New Civilizations Network became aware of an interest in a mailing list for The Celestine Prophecy. After searching for a mailing list, and not finding one, he asked Max Sandor, who helps administer the newciv.org server, to help create the list. On August 8th, 1995 the list was created. - Special thanks go out to Flemming Funch, who furnishes the server for our list, free of charge, on his T-1 line along with newciv.org and worldtrans.org.
     

  10. Is The Celestine Prophecy fact or fiction?


    11. It is fiction. It is generally felt by the people on this list that James Redfield synthesized several known insights into the format of a parable to reach a larger audience.
     

  11. Does the Manuscript really exist?


    12. It would be nice to think that the Manuscript exists on some level, but it is generally felt that it is part of the parable.
     

  12. Is James Redfield on the mailing list?


    13. Although JR is aware of the existence of the mailing list, he does not participate on the list. We do not know if he listens (lurks) on the list or has someone monitor it on his behalf.
     

  13. What do all the abbreviations mean?


    14. TCP is The Celestine Prophecy
    CP is Celestine Prophecy
    EG is Experiential Guide
    TTI is The Tenth Insight
    CV is Celestine Vision
    JR is James Redfield
    FB is Fluffy Bunny
    CD is Control Drama
     

  14. Speaking of Fluffy Bunnies, what does that mean?


    15. In the spring of 1996 a new member joined the list and acted like everyone's worst nightmare. He picked apart every post and twisted every response. The flames were incredible! The nice, loving and accepting people on the list did everything in our power to get this offensive creature off our list. We tried to have his membership canceled and began to respond to his taunts with some fairly remarkable language and threats of our own. He responded by calling us "Fluffy Bunnies", a term he adapted from the "Peanuts" cartoon. He claimed we had no real focus on the world and wasted our time conversing with people that agreed with us most of the time. He made us think... we had become what we had accused him of originally. Since then, the term has been adapted to mean "us". So now that we all know what we are...let's have some real discussion.
     

  15. What is the TCP map, where is it, and how do I get on it?


    16. One of our original members, Pierre Berrigan, had a world map which pinpointed the location of many list members. Pierre is no longer adding names to his map and his page has been removed, but don't despair. Another list member, Henco Kuit, has stepped in to take his place. Henco's map may be viewed at http://home-1.worldonline.nl/~kuit/tcp/index.html. To have your location pinpointed on the map, fill in the form at  http://home-1.worldonline.nl/~kuit/tcp/newform.html
     

  16. What is the Cybrary?

    17. Because there are so many great books out there, and titles and authors are so often mentioned in posts, we have compiled a listing of them. We call it The Celestine Cybrary. In it, you will find everything from Deepak Chopra to Starbird. You'll find books on energy and healing to books on the Dead Sea Scrolls and books on the major religions. You can view this list here.
     

  17. Where else can I find The Celestine Prophecy discussed on the Internet?


    18. Celestine Vision and Sandy Shaw's Celestine Home Page are a couple of links to assist you in your study of TCP.  Also, check out
    IRC chatroom on DALNET #Celestine
     

  18. What is the list's policy on Chain Letters?


    19. Basically, NO chain letters! No virus warnings! Do a little research before you post to the entire list.  Computer Virus Myths is a good place to start.  Chain letters are unwanted by members of the list. They are unrelated to the topic of CP, allow E-mail Bots the opportunity to steal your friends email addresses and pass them on to spammers and clog mail boxes. Also, many people are superstitious and do not want the burden of such a message.
     

  19. Who maintains the FAQ?


    20. The FAQ is maintained by Bill Howell. You can email him at bhowell@mindspring.com, if you have further questions or items to add/delete from this page. Please do not email him to subscribe to the Mailing List. To join the list, please see the instructions above.
