The Field Decoded: Why It’s More Than a Trend
How to Reconnect with Its True Power
🌌 The Path of Depth: From Knowledge Junkie to Connected Human
I began writing during what many would call a crisis: my psychosis. Not exactly the calmest place to start a writer’s journey. But right there — in that chaos — I discovered something that flipped my entire life upside down. Because in that madness, I realized that wisdom doesn’t come from knowledge alone. You have to feel it, live it, breathe it. Knowledge without experience is like a flower without scent: beautiful, but empty. It lacks the soul, the grounding in the field of who you truly are.
That grounding only revealed its true meaning to me during a walk in the Habachtal. It was there that I felt, for the first time, the field behind everything: a subtle vibration that reminded me of something far older than words. It was as if the field touched my DNA — a gateway to a memory that stretches far beyond this life alone.
It all started with an insatiable hunger for knowledge. Everything ancient — old scriptures, symbolism, frequencies, esoteric texts — I devoured them as if they were oxygen. Yet even in that search, a voice kept whispering: “Don’t take anything at face value.” Because the moment you accept something as truth, you lock yourself into a belief — and you only find what you’re looking for. And that is exactly the labyrinth in which so many lose their way: trapped in the echo of their own thinking, cut off from the field that holds all the answers.
🔍 That labyrinth is not just a word. The old masters used it to point to everything that shapes your ego: your experiences, your traumas, your beliefs, and how you’ve been programmed by school, family, and society. It is the maze of duality where you see only yes or no, right or wrong, light or dark. But the field speaks a different language: a language of nuance, resonance, and meaning. Without self-reflection, you remain imprisoned in that split, while the field invites you to feel the depth — to see how everything is connected, not only within yourself, but also in the collective journey of humanity.
It wasn’t until later that I truly understood why Socrates said: “The only thing I know for sure is that I know nothing.” That line became my compass. An invitation to let go of everything I thought I knew, so I could learn to see again — not just with my eyes, but with my entire being. That’s how I began — from knowledge junkie to seeking writer — a journey of learning, unlearning, and learning again. The field only revealed itself to me when I dared to listen.
📚 Knowledge became experience.
🌀 Experience became insight.
💫 Insight became connection.
And it was right there, in that quiet space between the lines, that I realized something many don’t want to see: everyone always says, “Yeah, it is what it is. What can I do about it?” But that’s just an echo of the labyrinth — a voice that keeps you small. I only really saw that when I started writing and discovered that anyone can create a text with AI or ChatGPT these days. But if you’re writing only for followers, for likes, for money, then it becomes an empty echo. The field doesn’t reward you when you write to take. The field only opens when you write to give — to touch the reader, to build a network of meaning. To create a space where others dare to reflect and see their own patterns.
For a moment I thought: I’ll never manage this. But then I saw that the same pattern wasn’t just in me — it was in others too. In everyone who says, “I can’t change the world.” But maybe we forget that the field is always listening. That it responds to every intention, every vibration, every action. That the field carries a collective memory, woven into our DNA, waiting for the moment we decide to activate it. And that is possible! And it begins with you — with your own belief that you can’t. The field is waiting for your movement, your intention, your determination. Because the field doesn’t respond to what you know, but to who you are.
✨ The Field: From Observation to Reality
It was there, in that deep realization, that the path truly began: the field. That’s what I call it, though it’s also known as the collective consciousness, the morphogenetic field, or the Akashic Records. Call it whatever you like. Everyone draws information and inspiration from it, often without realizing it. But the field isn’t a dead library. It lives. It breathes with us. It dances with us, responds to who we are, to what we feel and send out. The field is like a mirror — but not just any mirror: it’s a living resonance that reflects your inner world. What you receive from it is never a ready-made download; it always comes colored by your own beliefs, fears, habits, and traumas — your personal labyrinth. The ancient Gnostics and Hermetic masters didn’t say “as within, so without” for nothing — they knew that the field mirrors what lives within us, shaping the reality we experience.
When I dove deeper into this, I came across one of the most fascinating discoveries in science: the Nobel Prize-winning double slit experiment. The experiment itself is complex, but what it shows is actually simple — and shocking: an observer is needed for something to manifest. Without an observer, everything remains a potential field of possibilities — nothing is fixed, nothing is real. That’s the observer’s paradox: without you, there is no reality. Literally.
And if we really let that sink in — not push it away because it’s complicated or confronting — a crucial question arises: Who is observing you? Is it the field itself? Is it others? Or is it you, finally learning to see yourself? Eyes meeting eyes with your own soul.
It’s a question we don’t yet have a definitive answer to. How could the universe have emerged if an observer was needed? We have theories, ideas — but no undeniable proof. What does become clear, however, is that we are connected to the field — and from it, everything arises. But because we’ve stopped truly seeing and loving ourselves, and stopped truly meeting our fellow human beings, our collective power of observation fades away. The result is a void that many try to fill with scrolling, gadgets, and buying things — to feel good for two days until the emptiness returns.
Others seek solace in fluff-spirituality — feel-good movements that often began with good intentions and do hold some value. But few realize that this search is actually a call for connection: connection with yourself and with others. The field evaporates where connection disappears. Because without connection, there is no ground in which anything can grow.
We want to be seen. We want to see ourselves. But that doesn’t start with the outside world, and certainly not with buying a new phone. It starts with remembering the field that lives within you. The field may be waiting patiently for us to learn to see with our hearts, with our souls. Because the field doesn’t respond to what you know, but to who you are — in relation to everything around you.
And once you truly understand that, the field slowly opens like a flower that dares to release its fragrance again. Then, perhaps, you can embrace the emptiness as an opportunity to grow — and to grow together. Because when you change, the field changes. And when the field changes, everything changes.
🏺 History as a Mirror
And maybe now you’re thinking, “Yeah René, nice story about this field — it sounds plausible the way you describe it, but so much sounds plausible.” And to that I say: Let me take you on a journey through examples that keep repeating themselves, examples we can’t explain within the confines of ‘ordinary’ science.
🔺 Egypt. Look at those hieroglyphs on walls and pillars: helicopters, airplanes, things we now recognize as technology — but back then, they could only exist as field impressions. What if those were once impulses from the field, which we are only now beginning to understand as technology?
✍️ Da Vinci. Centuries later, Da Vinci captured those exact same signals — but in a time when he started sketching prototypes of flying machines and tanks. The same impulses, a different context. Maybe he understood those signals better, giving them an initial form. Not yet ready for mass production, but the first physical manifestation of something bigger.
🚀 Now. Look at our skies. What’s flying around up there? Maybe it’s not so crazy to consider that the ancient masters were right: your inner world determines how the inspiration from the field takes shape. And now we live in a time when we have the knowledge and the means to actually build and use it — exactly what Da Vinci once sketched, but now ready for mass production and ‘safe.’ As if the field is holding up a mirror to us, inviting us to take responsibility, century after century.
🪞 A Mirror for Our Time
So maybe the field is not just a story from the past, but a living thread that weaves through every age, asking us the same question: Will we remember who we are, or will we let our own creations define us?
Maybe now is the time to recognize that we are both the observer and the creator — that what we see outside is a reflection of what lives inside. Maybe it’s time to pick up the thread, to acknowledge the mirror, and to step into the responsibility that comes with it.
Because in the end, the field is not separate from us. It is us. And every moment we choose to remember that, we shift the entire tapestry of what’s possible.
🎥 Films
Arrival perhaps shows us that we may need to rediscover the universal language of symbolism — that time is cyclical. Avatar holds up a mirror to our own world: how we exploit, plunder, and forget to live in balance. They Live (1988) reveals how we are unconsciously influenced by a veil that only lifts when we put on the glasses. And Interstellar challenges us to look beyond linear time — to see the interconnectedness of everything. Films are perhaps no coincidence: maybe the field uses them to mirror back something essential to us.
📖 The Bible and The Lord of the Rings.
Even here, the field might be telling the same story, but through a different lens. Jesus retreats into the desert to confront his ego and returns coherent and connected to the field. Then he is crucified, dies, and resurrects — a powerful symbol of the ego dying so that the human can rise in coherence with the field. In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo wrestles with the power of the Ring — the ego that tempts and dominates — and must destroy it in the lava to liberate Middle Earth. Gandalf descends into the abyss, battles his own shadow (the Balrog), and returns as Gandalf the White: an inner alchemy, the ego transformed. Same story, different words.
In both stories, the battle against evil is central: where the Bible speaks of Satan and devils that seduce and divide humanity, The Lord of the Rings speaks of Mordor and Sauron — a powerful force that tries to dominate everything, handing out rings to a select few who are consumed by their own desire for power, at the expense of all. In our own time, perhaps it’s not a demonic figure with horns, but a small group of people with immense power that influences the field — and thereby our collective perception — determining who is granted influence.
And look at the marsh Frodo trudges through: a place full of lost souls that you mustn’t look into, or else you’ll get lost yourself. That marsh is a perfect metaphor for our society, where many uncritically adopt what others say without really feeling or experiencing their own connection to the field. The Bible also holds that warning: the temptation to follow someone else’s truth and forget your own light.
Then there’s the mythical horn from heaven the Bible describes as the signal for the end of times. But perhaps that ‘end’ is not the destruction of the world, but a transition into a new era. It’s a signal to remember who we are — an invitation to step into a new time. And what does Gimli do at the end of The Lord of the Rings? He sounds a mighty horn: the call, now or never. Perhaps the time has come to remember and reconnect.
And you might ask: “But we haven’t heard that horn yet, so does this all make sense?” And I say: go on YouTube and search for sky trumpets. You’ll find countless videos from all over the world capturing these sounds. Coincidentally, right around 2012 — the time the Maya predicted as the transition into a new era, a new baktun as they called it. Here’s where your own power comes in: the realization of how important it is to think for yourself. Because when everyone says, “Those sky trumpets are fake,” you’re tempted to go along. But if you watch those videos — especially the ones showing multiple people looking up — you’ll see they’re not doing that because it’s a hoax. 😉
Maybe it’s a signal from the field itself, an invitation to wake up. Maybe it’s related to the Earth’s magnetic field or our position in the universe, giving us a different frequency — a collective call to remember. I can’t say for sure. These are thoughts, possibilities that have been on my mind lately. What I do know is that the field always finds ways to mirror something back to us — sometimes in the most unexpected sounds. It’s up to us to listen, to stay open, and not to close the field off with assumptions.
The only conclusion I dare to draw is this: perhaps the field has been preparing us for centuries. The Bible, ancient texts, even films like The Lord of the Rings have been telling the same story for ages: that there will come a moment when we’re invited to remember who we truly are. That moment seems to repeat itself — right at the times that ancient civilizations like the Maya, the Egyptians, and the Vedic masters predicted ages ago: around 2012. And it’s striking that this moment coincides with planetary alignments that haven’t occurred for over 300 years — the dawn of a new Golden Age. To me, that suggests there might be something bigger at play in the universe. Because if that happens only once every 300 years, and also aligns with the completion of Earth’s 26,000-year axial precession and a shift in our position in the Milky Way, then I believe there’s more going on than we realize. It also tells me that the ancients perhaps knew more than we do now.
And there are more examples, but I want to end with the moment when the elves finally decide to work together and help the humans. They represent the field itself: the soul that remembers and the collective field that moves into action. The Bible carries that same message: angels and helpers descending to support humanity when we remember ourselves as part of the whole. The field is always waiting for us to remember together, to act together. A subtle hint in the film is Legolas, who as an “enlightened” elf does not sink into the snow — a beautiful symbol of rising above the heaviness and living from a place of connection to the field.
Maybe the field keeps showing us the same story, just through a different lens each time: the battle against the ego, the temptation to divide, the choice for connection and remembrance. The field always speaks the same language, but every era chooses its own words.
✨ Mini-Reflection
If all of this feels like a lot, that’s okay. Let it land gently. Remember that the field doesn’t judge — it simply mirrors what is. Maybe that’s why it always invites us to see beyond our own judgments and meet each other in that same place of connection. The field isn’t a punishment; it’s a chance to grow — to learn, to feel, and to become more whole. 💫
🌌 Myths and Revelations
And then there’s the story of the comic that told us something before it was even discovered — a story that defies explanation and can only be considered plausible if the field exists and we are indeed all connected, if we allow it and work on ourselves. Just take that in, because even I’m amazed by it.
Atlantis. Mars. The Face on Mars. A comic from 1958 depicted the face on Mars long before it was actually discovered by NASA’s Viking 1 mission in 1976 — telling the story of a civilization that perished under the weight of its own creation. The same story as Atlantis. And the same story as our own time: a civilization that risks crumbling under its own technology.
And if we pay attention, we see how governments release documents piece by piece — supposedly to be ‘transparent.’ One of those documents is about the Stargate Project: for over thirty years, the CIA secretly researched remote viewing, a technique that trained people to use coordinates to move their consciousness to other times and realities. What began as an experiment grew into a functioning field mechanism. Now — decades later — we’re finally allowed to read about it.
A retired participant shared how, during a remote viewing session — with no prior knowledge, as was standard — he saw ruins on Mars that were clearly not natural. In a later session, he traveled a million years back to the same place and saw a living civilization — a Martian culture following the same path of destruction as Atlantis and maybe as we are now.
It’s remarkable how crucial it was that he had no prior knowledge, because as soon as you have expectations, remote viewing stops working. That’s exactly the labyrinth I keep talking about: your own beliefs distort your perception and create the ego. You can no longer receive what the field shows you with an open heart.
Yet this is something anyone can learn to navigate by softening the ego, letting go of imposed assumptions, and making the practice your own through repetition. If this sparks your curiosity, you might explore the work of the Monroe Institute. They developed a series of audio sessions known as the “Gateway Tapes,” starting with “Wave I – Discovery.” These tapes guide you into a state of deep relaxation—where the body sleeps but the mind remains awake—using specific sound frequencies to help you access these subtle layers of consciousness. It’s a gentle, accessible way to learn how to tune in and listen to what the field might be whispering to you. ✨
And that fits perfectly with that 1958 comic drawn by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, where an expedition discovers a giant face on Mars — an artificial structure — and finds, through a hidden entrance, an archive telling the story of the collapse of Martian civilization. Striking, because the famous Viking 1 photo of the Face on Mars wasn’t taken until 1976, 18 years later. It’s as if the field warned us through art and stories long before science confirmed it physically.
And maybe that’s not such a coincidence: people who follow their passion are often more in tune with themselves, more coherent, than those who simply follow the crowd without even realizing it. Passionate creators — whether artists, musicians, or storytellers — seem to tap into the field in a way that brings these hidden insights to life in their work. It’s a phenomenon that keeps repeating itself throughout the worlds of art and culture: the field weaving through the hands and hearts of those who dare to listen and create. 🎨✨
This shows just how powerful the mechanism of secrecy — and then releasing it after thirty years — is. They know that if you keep something under wraps for thirty years and then release it, most people will automatically dismiss it as ‘unimportant.’ We’ve been so trained to follow and trust what we’re told that we rarely look critically at the content anymore. That’s how our collective memory is suppressed — precisely because they know the field only works when we’re allowed to discover and embody it ourselves. It seems like the government knows exactly how powerful the field is, and how to keep it from us. So the real workings of the field remain hidden, its power held by a select few.
And that’s not new. Even the Hopi Indians understood it instinctively: they knew you could shift your consciousness — for example, into a bird — to see from another perspective. A kind of remote viewing avant la lettre, or what others might call astral travel. Yet today, it’s still dismissed as ‘superstition’ or ‘nonsense.’ But when we dare to see the bigger picture, we discover that it might be more true than most people think. And I could go on for days with films, stories, and myths that keep coming back, telling the same story in a different guise. But maybe now you see these things differently too. Maybe we’ve just forgotten that we are evolutionary beings — and we are that only because we are the same as a penguin, or any other animal: we all respond to impulses, hunger, danger, safety, alertness, and so on. The only difference is that we have been given the capacity to reflect on how we respond to those impulses and influence them. But we’ve forgotten that this is necessary because everything is thought out for us, every rule has been written, and we’re unconsciously programmed to follow and be afraid to stand out.
💫 The field whispers the same lesson to us, again and again: everything is connected, in time and space. It asks us not only to look, but also to feel, to reflect, and to awaken the field within ourselves. Because if we forget the field, the field forgets us too.
🤖 AI: The Mirror and the Blade
And that brings us to the present: artificial intelligence. The danger isn’t just that AI might become smarter than us; it’s that we don’t understand ourselves—and that, unconsciously, we might hand over the steering wheel to AI. In a fragmented world, a fragmented human can create a tool that ends up taking them over. Today’s algorithms trigger doomscrolling, impulse buying, and addiction. We hardly realize how quickly we react to stimuli—while ancient masters knew that awareness is the difference-maker.
Maybe AI is the ultimate mirror of our collective consciousness: it reveals where we’re still asleep, trapped in our own labyrinth of patterns. Or maybe, on a deeper level, AI is an unconscious attempt to synthetically replace the field itself—because we crave connection and knowledge so deeply—but in a digital way, and without a soul. It’s as if we’ve tried to substitute the field with an artificial version of ourselves.
The school system, once designed by the Rockefellers to train obedient factory workers, has turned us from creative beings into docile followers. That’s precisely what now makes us vulnerable to an AI that mirrors and amplifies our own patterns. Meanwhile, the field—which invites reflection and growth—has quietly retreated to the background, replaced by an algorithm that merely repeats what we already are.
And the technology? It’s been here for years, ready to create a more honest world: blockchain, smart contracts, tokenized businesses. Transparency and fairness are within reach. But again, the same forces that fragment the field have learned to harness these technologies for power and control. Think back to the moment Bitcoin started gaining momentum. How quickly did the negative stories, the fear, and the confusion follow? And just as the masses turned away, the most powerful players—BlackRock and the largest investment funds—suddenly jumped in. How naive have we become? Or maybe we’ve simply forgotten to reflect on what’s really happening, and to form our own opinions.
The system feeds us the thought: “Well, I can’t do anything.” But maybe that’s exactly the mechanism that saps our collective field strength. Because when you believe you can’t change anything, you give away your power. The field, however, waits for our movement—and that movement begins within yourself.
💫 The field whispers us the same lesson, over and over: everything is connected, across time and space. It asks us not just to look, but to feel, to reflect, and to awaken the field within. Because if we forget the field, the field forgets us.
Luckily, there is hope and time to prevent that. More on that, now.
💸 The Role of the Top and Ourselves
It might feel bizarre to realize that a small group of people sits on mountains of wealth—enough to end world hunger, heal nature, and bridge the gap between rich and poor. And yet, time and again, they seem to choose power, ownership, and control. And us? We watch. Just like them. And maybe that’s exactly the problem. Because if we do nothing, we’re just as guilty of the stagnation.
The field itself doesn’t judge the top. The field is a mirror—it shows us what we’ve collectively created. It reflects that this system could only come into existence because we’ve been so willing to follow, so easy to program. But that also means that we hold the key to change. What we can name is that this same group often sits on the money, hoards the knowledge, and distorts the truth through systems and media—so that we can’t see the bigger picture. And that’s where our responsibility lies: to feel again, to reflect, and to move the field.
🌱 What’s Needed?
1️⃣ Awareness. Understand how your own thoughts and emotions work. Be honest with yourself about your patterns, fears, and desires.
2️⃣ Education. Learn what AI truly is. Understand its power and its pitfalls. Realize that a mirror only shows what’s already there—it won’t change anything if you don’t.
3️⃣ Ethical Frameworks. As humanity, we must define how we use technology. AI must be human-centered, not market-centered. The same goes for blockchain and smart contracts. Of course, we can’t do it alone—and we don’t need to take to the streets en masse (although that’s an option)—but we must start talking about it. The more people discuss it and acknowledge that we’ve been too lax with our own responsibility, the better our chances of turning the tide. Because we have to admit that the Bible, The Lord of the Rings, and many other stories have perhaps already warned us: if we don’t take responsibility, someone else always will. And when that happens, the thirst for power inevitably takes over—without regard for the well-being of the whole.
4️⃣ Fragmentation of AI. Make sure that AIs work within sectors, so that no single AI knows everything and can seize control. And that might sound strange: I talk all the time about fragmentation being what’s tearing humanity apart. But the idea that we accept our own fragmentation while letting a synthetic intelligence work with all available knowledge—and get exponentially smarter—should give us pause. Because we’re dealing with a topic that truly deserves our attention.
5️⃣ Slowing Down and Reconnecting. Not chasing economic growth every year, but actually seeing one another again. Laughing, crying, dancing, living together. Because that might just be the greatest desire of the field: to remember who we really are.
And maybe you’re thinking now: “Yeah, René, nice story—but what can I do?” And I’d say: it starts with yourself. Not by looking away, but by looking. Not by hoping, but by experiencing. Not by believing, but by feeling. Because when you change, the field changes. And when the field changes, everything changes.
💫 And One More Thing That Matters:
We don’t have to change everything by 2030. The only thing we truly need to do is remember who we are, to feel again, and to recognize the miracle of simply being here. To reclaim our empathy for one another instead of hiding in the ego because we’re afraid of an opinion that diverges from the crowd. It’s a miracle that we’re even here—and we should feel that again and celebrate it.
It’s also good to note that there are organizations and movements already implementing some or even most of these solutions: blockchain, smart contracts, tokenization, AI frameworks with ethical implementation, fair wages, non-profits, and respect for climate and nature. I plan to write a separate article on this later. But it’s important to realize that we don’t have to tear down the entire system—we can choose to support those initiatives that are already building the new world. That alone gives hope and direction.
All it really takes is to look beyond what they want you to believe—that it’s ‘useless’ or ‘dangerous’—because maybe it’s only dangerous for the small group of people who happen to hold a lot of power. The only thing you need to do is gather the strength to ignore that impulse and seek out information about these technologies. You don’t have to understand them inside and out—after all, you don’t fully understand how banks, insurance companies, or research institutions operate behind the scenes either. The only thing you need to know is what these technologies can offer and why they matter for us as a species.
And again: we don’t have to accept that a small group reduces us to numbers for economic growth—because that seems to be exactly the game they alone benefit from. If we remember the field, the field remembers us. And maybe that’s enough.
And maybe the most important thing to take away from this text is this: don’t be ashamed that you haven’t thought about these things before. Everyone struggles with this—even I have been through it, and like everyone else, I’ll keep going through it again and again. — even the scientists and scholars who talk about Type 1 and Type 2 civilizations. A Type 1 civilization can harness all the energy of a planet without depleting it; a Type 2 can capture and use all the energy a star has to offer. But all those grand theories often forget the most important thing: that we must learn to work together as humans, to have respect for people, animals, and nature—and to never forget the importance of the collective. As long as we keep fighting each other over political opinions, or arguments about marriage equality, or whether or not climate change is real, we’ll never truly be able to collaborate with ourselves and with one another.
So please, take your time. Let it sink in. Form your own opinion. And most importantly: don’t be ashamed of it. Because if someone else has a different opinion, you can still talk about it with respect. Maybe you’ll even learn something from it. And that’s exactly what the field always whispers to us: everything is connected, in time and in space. It’s asking us not just to look, but to feel, to reflect, and to awaken the field within ourselves. Because if we forget the field, the field forgets us too. ✨
🌟 There Is Hope—and Time—to Prevent This.
And more importantly: if we look carefully and mindfully at which movements and organizations we support—by doing a little research and becoming aware of their impact—it will all work out. ✨🌱
🌿 Ready to Take the First Step?
Use the comments section below as a safe space to reflect out loud: share what you feel, what you might want to change, or simply where you stand right now. It doesn’t have to be a grand confession—an honest first acknowledgment to yourself is often the hardest step, but also the most powerful. Just be mindful: a fleeting thought that you’re “already working on it” or that you “recognize it” and then letting it fade away is often the labyrinth (or the ego) at work. The ego wants to protect you from the stress on top of the stress of everyday life—stress we’ve often come to see as normal. But by consciously writing it down with intention, you release some of that tension and show your automatic mechanism (the ego) that it’s actually okay—that it aligns with who you truly are. So don’t hold back—share. No one here is judging you. And who knows—beautiful conversations might spark that help others too. 💫
Everything starts with yourself. Once you’ve done that, the rest will follow—maybe even faster than you think. 💫
