The Great Field: Soul at Play in the Conscious Universe Hot

The Great Field is an evolutionary story about the place of the human soul within a vast, energetic universe. Far from being new, it is a perpetual story that we already know, but one that continually evolves as consciousness changes and the human story unfolds.

Author John James, PhD, presents an absorbing investigation into a unified theory: the Great Field. He describes it as a limitless field of energy from which everything has been created and within which everything exists: “It is an information-rich cosmos without space nor time that explains how homeopathy and holographs are possible, how cells send signals to every part of the body with no lag in time, and how the heart and the brain can act as one.” As a transpersonal psychotherapist (and he uses the label in its broadest sense), James’ intention is to explore the power of the personal field of energy we call “soul,” within this immense domain.

Like an architect, James begins by drafting a blueprint of spiritual wisdom and leading edge science, building a conceptual foundation for understanding what constitutes the Great Field. He does not argue for its existence, reminding us that “scientific experiments have [already] demonstrated that a universe of energy exists within the material world of our senses.” Instead, he frames the soul and psyche within this design and examines how the consistent vibrations of the Great Field model the basis for developing internal (soul/psyche) coherence.

In the latter half of the book the author draws from twenty years of therapeutic practice to describe his experiences of working with clients within this paradigm: therapy becomes “transformation,” and healing occurs in the deeper fields of vibration that form our psyche. Accepting and experiencing what lives beyond the physical senses can “help to clarify all creation and give meaning to the conflicts that so damages our species,” James optimistically concludes. Equally provocative, he proposes that understanding the psyche also works in reverse—providing a basis for determining how the Universe works.

This is a visionary book that pioneers a promising wave of conscious evolution—cresting into a “cohering reality,” where soul and psyche are harmoniously nested within a constant universal field. It is, as we say, an idea whose time has come. And for the conscious voyager The Great Field is a cosmic beacon, beckoning us onward to explore the boundless reaches of human potential.
