The Field Center
An Educational Forum for Joyful Awareness


Our Story
The Field Center, established in 1993 during a typically stormy Central Florida summer, is an educational forum offering a unique curriculum for practicing joyful awareness, conscious creating, and shifting into more aligned states of identity. During the four years following the Center's birth, our founder and director, Philip Golabuk, “witnessed a lifetime of study, formal training, and investigation gathering like a storm into a remarkable curriculum,” and in the fall of 1997, we offered the Course for the first time to a small group of students. Our aim was to correct the oversimplifications, confusions, and misconceptions pervasive in the New Age literature about how personal consciousness “creates reality” in the world, particularly with respect to the whole notion of "manifestation," as we recognized that these errors in thinking and practice had cost many people dearly. Enrollment grew rapidly, and today we are proud to support students in 75 countries.

How We're Different
Field training is arguably the most thorough and precise model available on the subject of how our consciousness becomes the events and conditions of our experience both inwardly and outwardly. Unlike even sophisticated approaches such as Ernest Holmes’s Science of Mind and the work of Neville Goddard, Field training recognizes the element of paradox inherent in conscious creating, and most importantly, incorporates this element into its practice. This alone would set it apart. In addition, however, Field training is unique in its assertions that "creation follows identity," that "the aim of practice is alignment, not manifestation," based directly on its handling of paradox, and rooted in a practice that begins where the so-called New Age methods of visualization and affirmation leave off. Finally, no other approach brings together elements as seemingly diverse as the wisdom of the world’s major spiritual traditions, the new physics, ontology (the study of Being), and phenomenology (the study of phenomena as events in consciousness).

Why People Study with Us
Many come to the Field Center after years of following some spiritual path or other, because they have a deep sense that something’s still missing. It may be showing up in one or more staging areas of life that remain unfulfilled, a general feeling of incompletion, or even homesickness. Often, they’ve studied Seth, A Course in Miracles, Science of Mind, Abraham, Neville, Chopra—the list goes on—but they still feel a “divine discontent.” They know there’s more.

All of these models miss what Field training understands as the essential gesture of deliberate creatorship—namely, a wholehearted and undistracted immersion in the creative moment for its own sake, an unconditional giving of self to the ideal. The techniques and methods they offer invariably aim at creating a desired outer fact, e.g., prosperity, romantic partnership, improved health, and so on. In short, the focus is always on changing the world. Field training, on the other hand, recognizes that conscious creating is first and last about the self, about identity, and not about worldly conditions at all. It begins with a longing, not to have more, but to be more. Further, changing consciousness in order to change the world implicates us in a contradiction that all but ensures failure.

Field practice is a path of wholeheartedness. It calls for a certain virtuosity of creative authority, so that we remain poised in a stance of inner friendship and agreement, and the war between desire and belief finally can end.
