Although love is considered to be a power even greater than reason, science itself has certainly come a long way in explaining the power of attraction. Modern medicine can do wondrous things to help us along to a better vision of reality and help to boost us out of the negative thinking that we originally had entrained ourselves into. The tendency of more and more people to reach a more holistic vision of reality is getting closer and closer every day. The progress of science has continued in recent decades with the advancement of non-linear dynamics and, what is known as, “Chaos theory” in science. Despite its inherent challenges, science has continued to press on and to champion more and more elaborate explanations about the power of attraction. In recent years, the new science of nonlinear dynamics has posed the idea of ‘strange attractors’ which help to explain more about our objects’ behavior in the universe.

‘Attractor field’ is a term derived from nonlinear dynamics and signifies that within what appears to be random or unconnected occurrences, there is actually an invisible, organizing pattern field of influence that affects the occurrence of phenomena within each level of consciousness.

Scientists now believe that the universe may be just a large conglomeration of attractor patterns under which all of nature is guided. These attractor patterns might be viewed as the underlying cause or ‘Mind’ of the universe with which science is learning more and more every day. In this sense, the decision making process may be part of a much larger and more essential pattern of attraction that we are only just beginning to understand in our modern conception of scientific understanding.

The decision making process is a function of consciousness itself; the mind makes choices based on millions of pieces of data and their correlations and projections, far beyond conscious comprehension, and with enormous rapidity. This is a global function dominated by energy patterns that the new science of nonlinear dynamics terms ‘attractors’.

Dr. David R. Hawkins is a leading scientist and lecturer on the topic of both science and spirituality. He has introduced the idea that the underlying cause of people’s behavior, and of the activities in nature, are actually guided by these larger ‘attractor fields’ which are thought of as ‘fields of consciousness’. These different fields organize the behavior of objects in nature and tend to attract things into their field according to a greater degree of order that they inspire.

Although he is not an advocate of any particular field in general, one of the larger attractor fields that Dr. Hawkins has spoken of is the field of Taoism or “The Tao”.
