The Unified Field, as it has been described by modern theoretical physicists, can be accessed by practicing the ancient art of meditation. These modern physicists have described the Unified Field as an all-encompassing energy field connecting man and matter. It has also been described by these physicists as pure abstract consciousness, pure being, pure existence and an ocean of potentiality. The spoken and written word of the history of humans of many cultures and places on Earth has also made reference to the existence of a source of universal energy and connection of all that exists.

Although this “field” has been referred to by different names, by many cultures over thousands of years’ time, the description of the nature and essence of this field by these apparently disparate civilizations is amazingly similar. A constant in the description of this field is that connection with it is highly desirable and potentially available to everyone and everything. In fact, it is believed that not only can we achieve a connection to and utilize the field, but that we are part of it.

A default premise of this thesis is that the Unified Field “discovered” by modern physicists is the same field that was discovered and accessed by these civilizations in the history of mankind. What was once considered by scientists a metaphysical concept of considerable doubt is now being embraced by various scientific disciplines as an entity whose existence may be proven by generally accepted scientific protocols of experimentation and research. The Unified Field Theory is still unproven today. Unfortunately, even among those of us who embrace the metaphysical concept of the field, being cognizant of the field and enjoying the benefits of it is not a given. However, many of us have been in contact with the field without even knowing it.

Another parallel in the various civilizations that discovered the existence of a field is that they prescribe mental processes, much like what we recognize as meditation, to access the field. Just like we know the basic practice of meditation is easy, but achieving and maintaining a deep meditation state is very difficult, the Unified Field is right there for us all, but making mindful contact with it is equally difficult.

Let us explore meditation, the Unified Field and the possibility that one is the gateway to the other. The existence of a universal field of some sort and the practice of meditation are both long known by many in the metaphysical community. However, linking the two concepts in a way that may bring benefit to the planet is a relevant topic of potential interest to all people.

Although devoted practitioners of metaphysical customs and rituals do not rely on scientists to prove what they believe to be true, it is beneficial to humankind when important concepts become better understood and more widely accepted. It is clear in the course of history that when important discoveries are not, or no longer, suppressed by religious, scientific or other powerful groups, that humankind experiences a quantum leap in progress. Perhaps if humankind broadly embraces and utilizes the Unified Field, this will be one such quantum leap in our existence.
