The Twelve Fields
As the Twelve Inner Aspects are each person’s inner worlds of existence,
the Fields are the energies that radiate outwardly from the physical body
throughout all external existence. From this point we can experience
twelve fields of energy of which the physical body is the first.
There is function and purpose to each of these Fields. Each Field corresponds
to each of the Inner Aspects of your being. This acts something like invisible
strings that connect between the Fields and Inner Aspects. For example, as the
first Field is experiencing a particular stimulus, so, too, its corresponding
first Inner Aspect is reacting to this same stimulus.
One of the most important pieces of information that has come to us with
relation to the Fields and Inner Aspects is that, long before disease or
occurrences actually take place within our physical awareness, they exist in one
or several of these Fields. It seems so simple! All we have to do to arrest or
alleviate pain, disease, accidents or illness is to find out which Field these
have originated in. This is one of the reasons for studying ONA.
The Twelve Fields are our way of exchanging thoughts, ideas and impressions
between ourselves and the universe around us. ONA teaches how to dialogue with
these areas.
The first Field is the Physical body, itself. As a Field, it is the
Body others see: Your face, hair, physique. While it can be expressive, as
we’ll see, much of the communication actually originates in other fields.
Still, your voice and body language either reinforce—or contradict—what
others perceive, subconsciously, in your Fields.
The second Field is the Electro-magnetic. This is the Field that
affects an old-fashioned TV set with rabbit ears—as you move around the room,
reception is improved or degraded. As electrical currents flow around the body,
the second Field is activated. It can also be affected by static electricity.
The third Field is the Emotional. Have you ever walked into a room
and, before you even saw anyone there, knew that a fight was going on, or a tragedy had just taken place?
While the third Inner Aspect generates the chemicals that make you feel
emotions, the emotions themselves are energy patterns in this Field, where
others can sense or even alter them. These alterations take place when your
emotional field comes into contact with someone else’s.
The fourth Field is the Mental. This field is made up of energy
patterns that represent every memory and experience you’ve ever
had—including memories from other lifetimes. The patterns of habits and
programs that move most of us through so much of our days actually reside
in this Field. Knowing that, you can easily break bad habits by removing
them or develop good ones by placing them
in this field. This is where habits, both good and bad, are kept—or broken.
The fifth Field is Growth (also sometimes called the "Prayer
Field"). As the fourth field holds programs, so the fifth Field holds your
intentions. If your life doesn’t seem to be going the way you wanted,
sometimes you have cross-purposes activated in this field. Find them and resolve
the conflict, and things can start moving smoothly again.
The sixth Field is your outer Intuition. While the sixth Inner Aspect
can give you Knowing regarding your inner self, the sixth Field allows you to
see the Truths in things external to yourself. If you “always know” when
someone is lying to you, for example, that’s probably your sixth Field working.
As with the Inner Aspects, the boundary between the sixth and seventh
Fields—halfway through the Twelve—is the place where we begin to touch the
Divine. That is, the first six fields exist mostly in space-time and perform communicative functions with the
outside world. The outer six fields exist mostly
in Eternity and communicate with the realms beyond the physical.
The seventh Field is the Integral. In our Universe, all things need
boundaries that separate them from all other things. This field performs that
function, working to isolate us sufficiently from All That Is (God) so that we
can be perceived as individuals. This is the first Field in which the Truth is
expressed as “WE...” instead of “I...”.
The eighth Field is the Prismatic. A conventional prism transmits light,
but transforms it in the process: sometimes reflecting it, sometimes transmuting
it into its component frequencies. We’ve all had the experience of having
another person see us, not as we are, but as he or she thinks we ought
to be. That person is seeing his or her own reflection in our Prism Field.
And the effect works both ways; we must be careful when we look at another, that
it isn’t just our own reflection!
The ninth Field is that of Transcendental. With this Field we rise
above mere physicality, finding ourselves able to perceive the realms beyond
this physical Universe. This field is also the primary one perceived by
non-physical beings (such as angels) that attempt to communicate with us. The
more sensitive you are to this field, the more non-physical phenomena you find
yourself aware of.
Understanding is the tenth Field. When this Field is active, you find
others are drawn to you as a problem-solver!—and rightly so. A person with an
active tenth Field has risen above office politics; he or she has graduated to
statesman status, with love and understanding for all.
Such understanding can lead to an activation of the eleventh Field, the Intentional.
Operating in the eleventh Field, there is no karma, no accidents, no
coincidences in the conventional sense of being unexplained and mysterious.
Everything is understood and purposeful. You attract to yourself situations in
which you can help others find their own consciousness. Do you have a friend in
whose company you find your own capacities exceed what you thought of as your
limitations? That person has an active eleventh field; and yours is more active
when you are in his or her presence.
The twelfth and ultimate Field is that of the Whole. This Field
extends outward to the boundaries of this Universe and beyond. In Wholeness, a
person perceives and accepts all his/her
component parts. These
parts are still parts—they are
integrated, but still distinct. (It is not until one goes past
the twelfth field, somewhere, that Wholeness is resolved into Oneness, and
there is no "distinct" anything.)
