The Great Field

This is the latest book by our Founding Director Dr John James.

"The soul is one of the most venerable, enduring images of spiritual traditions worldwide. In The Great Field, John James brings new information to this ancient concept, and in so doing helps bridge the worlds of modern science and spirituality, which is one of the most urgent tasks of our time."
—Larry Dossey, MD
Author, The Extraordinary Healing Power of Everyday Things

Therapist John James, PhD, draws on nearly twenty years of therapeutic practice to present elegant and sometimes startling conclusions about the nature of the universe and its implications for the human experience. Drawing on the established scientific wisdom of biology and astronomy, he shows that everything that exists has been created out of and within the vast domains of energy that form the Great Field, and that soul—that energetic part of us that connects with the universe—is as powerful a creative factor as DNA in our physical and psychic development.

Because his findings are based upon an innovative combination of scientific evidence, diverse cultural and spiritual wisdom, and therapeutic case histories, James' conclusions provide stimulating and original theory of how the Great Field is the foundation of everything in the universe—including the personal energy we call soul.

"Our experience shows that all existence is energy, bathed in vibrations that are connected to everything in the universe, and that our senses in daily life are just one aspect of a universe of fields. Ever since Einstein wrote, “the field is the only reality,” we have increasingly come to realize that the universe embodies both these realms, and that though they may appear contradictory, they are in fact mutually enfolding."

Notes to Transformation

This book is used as reference material in nearly all our workshops. It is an invaluable guide in our work. Written by our founding director, Dr John James

The following was review was written of the book.

"The inner journey has occupied our hearts and minds since the beginning of time. There is an infinite variety in the human drama and an equally huge range of spiritual phenomena. Yet only a few strategies connect them. These strategies are the subject of this book.

It is an uncomplicated guide to the creation of the mature ego and the transpersonal journey of our soul to the highest spiritual goal of mankind. Difficult issues like the shadow and projections, intimacy, the lifeforce and archetypes are presented simply with little of the ponderous language often found in esoteric literature. The author has kept within his own experiences for most of the journey, with many examples from his own life and the lives of his clients.

James is interested in the process of transformation. Progress is lopsided if we do not simultaneously resolve our biographical issues and connect with our soul, for personal traumas will distort the spiritual journey.

James provides a simply written guide to the major obstacles, such as the shadow, the imprinting of parental energies that directs our lives, and the huge grief we feel at the loss of our essential being. He shows how we may reconnect with the beauty of our soul once again and how we may become servants to the soul's journey of reunion with the Self here on earth.

The soul forms the bridge between our world and the spirit. This book discusses each step in this huge spiritual process.

May this book be a sounding board for your own experiences of the journey, and that reading it will stimulate you to journey on, to keep exploring and experiencing.

It is written engagingly from his own experience and those of his clients."
