ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
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 in our physical and psychic development as DNA.
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.

"
In a sentence, and it would not matter if I wrote several more, there is nothing that we are called upon to do in this lifetime but to be here in this present moment, fully awake. Why? It is because all worlds exist and so does every conceivable being that can inhabit them. That is, we do not need to change our reality to make it holy; we are tasked with making it whole by unifying the observer with the observed.
I mean grounding our sense of self -- ego -- with Our Great Self unifies the outer regions of inner space within us. What does that do, really? It nullifies the tension contained within polar opposites, light and dark, good and evil, male and female, war and peace, thus invoking compassion.
In truth, it makes each of us a self-sacrifice to the mission of God, a clone of Christ, as I put it.
Thus, as the Gnostics and Taoists before them intimated through parables and koans, "To Make the Two One" again is the ultimate state of being here now and will resolve the archetypes of the apocalypse if we can achieve a critical mass of enlightened souls by the cut-off date, the End-Time, circa 2012.
Dr. John Jay Harper is author of the book Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century and the DVD Science of Soul: The End-Time Solar Cycle of Chaos in 2012 A.D..

"The Great Field is an absorbing read. It is both a scholarly and an approachable account of the field from which we all manifest, and to which we all vitally contribute. John James's knowledge base is vast, and this is a book that must first be read from cover to cover, then 'dipped into' at regular intervals. A lovely, healing book from a modest and wise man. "

"Well i am an avid reader of books that help humanity expedite their psychological evolution. I started off with quantum physics when i was in grade 10th and ingested most of the good stuff i could get my hands on: authors like stephen hawkings, david bohm, michio kaku, brian greene etc.
Then had the accedental encounter with NLP and then Seth stuff from jane roberts. Well this books comes in comparison with Genie in Your Genes, The Biology of Belief and The Human Antenna and all three has solid research and a lot of personal touch, which to me is heart warming when i read a book.
Dr. James's tone is of a researcher. The Great Field is great and it must be a part of the library. It has very similar information that is in the other three i mentioned but the information is not very much in a flow as those three books. So 4 stars it is :)"

"Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (1/08)
So many people today are asking questions about why we are here, the truth behind the soul and the greatest spiritual debate last year seemed to be about whether we really attract things into our lives through our thoughts. This book examines the relationship between soul and science and so much more, and it makes more sense than most of the hundreds of books that I have ever read on the subject of spirit. The author suggests that the first couple of chapters might be too full of scientific jargon and that they can be skipped but I found his translation to be very easy to understand and full of valuable information.
What is the Great Field? "A holistic tapestry of independent influences" (page 66, Paul Davies). The author describes the Field as "does not exist in either space or time. It exists everywhere simultaneously. It has no movement, but only presence." I thought his beautiful description of the Great Field was best summed up by the following: "She was utterly still and attentive. It felt that there was no time, no space and yet every sense was exquisitely attuned to each subtle nuance of the physical plane where she sat. She was within everything, and without, simultaneously, and flooded with such knowing and compassion of that perfection that there was nowhere else to be but now. This was the realization of Samadhi, of the pure bliss of the saints and the gurus of every denomination. She had crossed the veil within herself and had united the material world of time and the desires of the senses with the Great Field. There was no distinction any more, but only pure bliss and unbearable compassion. (page 15).
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen" (page 247 - by a six-year-old) is my favorite of the many wonderful quotes throughout the book that is used to define concepts. He also uses many examples of scientific studies and clinical therapeutic studies to prove how our fields of energy impact not only our immediate environment but people, animals and environments a long distance or time away. Holistic healing, reincarnation and the soul's purpose are also up for discussion in the book.
"The Great Field: Soul at Play in a Conscious Universe" is packed full of good information. I don't want to give away too much more except to say that it is definitely worth reading for those people who want answers about spirit.

"I have struggled with religious views on soul because they dont feel right, they dont fit my experiences and my dreams.
John James has shown me how soul has been in my life always, how she can suffuse my life with fullness and beauty. Having read this I no longer feel there is something wrong with my spirituality, that has to be fixed so my soul can go to heaven.
There is nowhere for my soul to go to, it is already there. I only have to meet it."
