            Described as a "Masterclass to Tap Your Extraordinary Potential", 
          the Living The Field conference was organized by Lynne McTaggart, 
          author of The Field*, and held at the Paragon Hotel, London, 
          the weekend of April 5th and 6th. I felt privileged to be invited to 
          give introductory workshops in remote viewing. The line-up for the weekend 
          was impressive: Rupert Sheldrake, Lynne McTaggart, Fritz-Albert Popp, 
          Larry Dossey, Jeffrey Mishlove, Gary Schwartz, Walter Dibble, Roger 
          Nelson, and Erlendur Haraldsonn.
          
            Lynne McTaggart, in her book The Field has tied together separate, 
          but intriguingly similar, areas of research, being carried out independently, 
          in the areas of physics (zero point energy), psychology (morphic resonance), 
          and parapsychology (intuition, remote viewing, group consciousness). 
          Individuals, experiencing and practicing intuitive functioning, she 
          claims, are living and operating in The Field.
          
            The conference was launched with Lynne McTaggart talking about 
          how knowledge of the Field could cause a revolution in the ways that 
          we think about physics, psychology, and human consciousness. Her talk, 
          Living The Field, touched on many ways that we experience Living in 
          the Field. If any of you have read any of Joel Barker's writings on 
          Paradigms, you will understand her comments on having to rethink how 
          we view intuition and consciousness and the mechanisms for how these 
          work. Lynne is definitely a "paradign pioneer."
          
            We all emit photons, or units of light, and according to Dr. 
          Fritz-Albert Popp. who talked next. we are all "Being of Light.". 
          And this biophoton field can be measured scientifically. Dr. Popp related 
          his research and experiences to the audience.
          
            After a coffee break, Dr. Larry Dossey, brought the audience 
          up to date on research that has studied the Power of Prayer. His photo 
          documentary, on prayer around the world, brought lumps to throats and 
          tears to the eyes. It was inspiring.
          
            After lunch, Jeffrey Mishlove, gave another inspiring presentation, 
          The Zero Point Perceiver, where he talked about individuals who use 
          and manifest the Field in their lives. Giving examples, he pointed out 
          the many ways that the Field can be manifested.
          
            Following, a demonstration was given by Dr. Fabio Petrossi od 
          Trieste, Italy, of a machine that enhances the bodies ability to utilize 
          the Field.
          
            During the remainder of the afternoon, conference participants 
          divided into four groups to attend workshops in remote viewing (Angela 
          T. Smith), animal communication (Amelia Kinkade), distant healing (Richard 
          Lawrence), and the power of the group (Chrissie and Gary Blaze).
          
            I gave two 1-hour workshops, back to back, which was just enought 
          time to give a general introduction and to have the participants practice 
          a simple group demonstration of remote viewing. There is a huge interest 
          in remote viewing in the UK and 200 participants attended each class!  
          Saturday closed with a group meditation.
          
            On Sunday, the morning sessions were started with a wonderful 
          presentation by Dr. Ruper Sheldrake ,talking about The Secret Life of 
          Animals, and also how we can detect the phenomenon of being stared at. 
          He related scientific studies that conventional science is now having 
          to take notice of. He is a great speaker with a very droll sense of 
          humor!  His hypothesis is that being aware of being stared at was 
          developed in humans as an evolutionary instinct to avoid predatory animals.
          
            Rupert Sheldrake was followed by Dr. Gary Schwartz, from the 
          University of Arizona, who gave a report on the Afterlife Experiments 
          and the Biofield, giving scientific results from studies that sugest 
          that our Field does not dissipate at death but continues on in a lucid 
          and present form.
          
            After morning coffee, Dr. Walter Dibble reported on experiments 
          that found that the biofield of humans can be stored in devices that 
          can protect and energize areas in which we work and live. In their lab, 
          "black boxes" were developed that could store Field energy. 
          Intuitive work carried out in such areas was enhanced.
          
            In the early afternoon, Dr. Roger Nelson, formerly of Princeton 
          University, and now operating the EGG Project, gave a talk, Telegram 
          from Gaia, on the power and effects of group consciousness. Roger, and 
          his colleagues around the world, operate small random devices called 
          REGs, that register fluctuations in group consciousness in response 
          to major world events.
          
            The final talk of the conference was by Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson 
          talking on the concept of reincarnation and its connection to the Field. 
          Dr. Haraldsson is an Icelandic scientist with an impressive background 
          in consciousness research.
          
            Sunday closed with the four workshops being run again, two 1-hur 
          workshops, so that all the participants could attend. Again, each remote 
          viewing workshop attracted around 200 participants. It was very gratifying 
          to see this type of response from the public.
          
            The conference was closed with a group meditation and the sending 
          of distant healing.
          
            Another Field conference is planned for the Fall and there is 
          talk of bringing the Field Conference to the States.
