the four pillars of field training
particle and field
The idea that we create our reality is at least as old as the Vedas,
which state that "Atman" [the individual soul] is Brahman [the
Cosmos]." This suggests that the whole of experience somehow resides
in consciousness, and that our consciousness actually shapes,
informs, and organizes what seem to be random events. Field theory
recognizes that our consciousness has the same multiple nature we
see in electrons, indeed, all quanta, so our consciousness
has "Particle" and "Field" aspects.
Most of the popular New Age material on reality-creating fails
because it presumes, mistakenly, that the self that does the
creating is the Particle self—our most local identity, the one that
says "I" all day, that experiences itself as in the physical body,
and so, separate from other "I's." The Particle self is extremely
limited in knowledge, resources, and efficiency, and by nature
identifies with things and conditions, e.g., "I am a person," "I am
sorry," "I am here," and so on. As Particles, we tend to experience
world as cause and the self as effect, and so live in continual
reaction to outer conditions; as these conditions appear to be
separate from us, we naturally exert our will to improve or avoid
them. Our Field identity, on the other hand, is nonlocal; not bound
by time or space; unlimited in knowledge, vision, and efficiency;
and aware of itself as the cause of worldly experience. Its most
fundamental expression is not "I am this or that," but simply, "I
AM."
intention and correspondence
Intention includes what we take to be real, which ultimately comes
down to what we identify with. So, for example, the belief, "There
isn't enough money" is rooted in the belief, "I am poor." This turns
out to be a crucial point in Field theory, since our creating
follows necessarily from identity, from who we believe we are. This
is all we can change, and all we need to change.
The Self that creates reality is not the Particle self, a point that
hardly can be overstated. Many people, caught up in popular
oversimplifications of "we create our reality" thinking have tried
affirmation, visualization, and other consciousness techniques to
change their experience in the world, only to find themselves
running into walls, because they were unwittingly believing in
(intending) the very condition they wanted to change. As long as the
I strives to change conditions rather than simply changing its self-
definition, conditions have no choice but to persist. The I that
would create reality deliberately cannot stand apart from its
creation. Paradoxically, this means that we can't change reality
through an act of will, because the very attempt confers the status
of reality on the thing it seeks to change. In trying to make real
something that it regards as not real, it casts its vote wrongly and
secures the very outcome it would overcome. When we try to create
conditions, the results are likely to backfire and lead to
disappointment. On the other hand, when we recast our identity,
conditions change spontaneously and effortlessly as required by the
law of correspondence. So, our work is only on ourselves. This is
why in Field practice, the aim is alignment, and not manifestation.
Creation is the operating of the law of correspondence between
Particle and Field. The Particle, by nature, must intend; the Field
must correspond. Following the principles of chaos theory,
intentions exert a nonlocal organizing effect, fulfilling themselves
whether or not we're aware of what we're intending. As we start
intending deliberately, this nonlocal effect shows up as happy
coincidences, miraculous timing, and other synchronicities, As Field
training deals directly with the most fundamental structures of
Particle consciousness (identity and reality), conditions tend to
improve quickly and dramatically, having no choice but to correspond
to who we believe we are. When this changes for the better,
everything changes accordingly.
