<\/a><\/p>\nOne of my Lithuanian students sent a note the night of the terrorist attack on Paris expressing\u00a0appreciation for an essay I had written after 9-11 titled, \u201cAmerica\u2019s War on Terrorism: One\u00a0Latter-day Saint\u2019s Perspective,\u201d1 and informing me that there would be a special Piet\u00e0 or\u00a0ceremony of mourning in Vilnius during what she called a \u201cweek of God\u2019s mercy.\u201d I wrote back,\u00a0\u201cThese periodic episodes of madness, as troubling as they are, do not cancel or contradict the\u00a0essential rightness or goodness in the world, especially when we understand that they break\u00a0God\u2019s heart as well as our own. Broken hearts mend and become more tender.\u201d That\u2019s pretty\u00a0close to how I have felt the past several weeks as so many of my fellow Latter-day Saints have\u00a0been in pain over the Church\u2019s new policy on gay and lesbian parents and their children.<\/p>\n
That policy ,which labels such parents as \u201capostates\u201d and places strict limits on their children in\u00a0relation to baby blessings, baptism, confirmation, ordination to the priesthood and mission\u00a0calls\u2014in other words most of the cardinal rights and rituals of membership in the Church–has\u00a0caused what scientists refer to as \u201ca disturbance in the field.\u201d Although this term has specific\u00a0meaning within both physics and psychotherapy,2 I am using it herein to describe any\u00a0significant disruption in the social and emotional fabric of the LDS church, a disturbance of the\u00a0normal healthy functioning of the organization. While such disturbances are predictable, they\u00a0are none-the-less challenging and can be wrenching both to the organization\/system and to its\u00a0constituent parts\u2014individual members–as is clearly the case with regard to LGBT members and\u00a0their families and friends affected by the Church\u2019s new policy change.<\/p>\n
I have experienced (and endured) a number of such disturbances in the field of my faith from\u00a0the time I joined the Mormon Church as a ten-year-old boy at the end of the Second World\u00a0War. Some of those disturbances have been part of the necessary process of developing a\u00a0mature faith; others have been a result of my own inadequate and sometimes failed attempts\u00a0to live as fully a Christian life as I have hoped; but most of those disturbances have resulted\u00a0from policies, practices and positions instituted by the Church that have resulted in psychic and\u00a0spiritual discord. This has been particularly true of policy or positions that have been injurious 0r harmful to others, including the Church\u2019s ban on priesthood and temple ordinances for\u00a0blacks of African descent, the unequal treatment and marginalization of women, and, more\u00a0recently, policies relating to LGBT members.<\/p>\n
*For some of the ideas expressed in this essay, especially those relating to the nature and\u00a0characteristics of energy fields and the importance of love in establishing and restoring\u00a0coherence, I am indebted to my friend and colleague, Dr. Raymond Trevor Bradley, and his\u00a0revolutionary work as articulated in his forthcoming book, The Lens of Love: Holographic Eye of\u00a0Universal Consciousness (copyright 2015, Raymond Trevor Bradley).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
All systems (including all organizations and cultural groups) constitute fields that have their own\u00a0intrinsic order, integrity and coherence. As social scientist Raymond Trevor Bradley explains, \u201cIn\u00a0human systems, such system integrity is based in love and our success in expressing that love as\u00a0a coherent wave field of energy that radiates literally from our hearts out into the world in all\u00a0directions. Such coherent heart-generated energy travels like the coherent light from a laser,\u00a0virtually without limit.\u201d3 However, by its very nature, any coherent system can become\u00a0incoherent through the influence of negative energy, causing a \u201cdisturbance in the field.\u201d As\u00a0Bradley explains, \u201cNegative emotions, such as fear and anger [which likely lie at the heart of\u00a0the new policies on LGBT families, in spite of assurances to the contrary], generate an erratic,\u00a0disorganized wave field of energy, again from the heart,4 which is the most powerful generator\u00a0of electro-magnetic energy in the human system. By its very nature, such an incoherent field of\u00a0energy has short duration and limited reach.\u201d5<\/p>\n
Although the disruption, disturbance and damage in a flied or system may be limited, its effects\u00a0can be felt within the system or field for some time, as I feel will be the case with the new\u00a0policy changes. It is only through love that order and coherence ultimately can be restored,\u00a0which is why the response to the new policy changes must be grounded in love and why non-loving responses (angry, fearful, defensive, and protective) will not only prolong the pain and\u00a0suffering, but will delay the restoration of order and coherence.<\/p>\n
Viewed from this perspective, this most recent disturbance to the field of Mormonism might be\u00a0thought of as a failure of love, resulting from our refusal to see all of God\u2019s children as equal, all\u00a0as \u201calike unto him\u201d (2 Nephi 26:33). As Bradley reminds us, \u201cTrue love is equal and embraces\u00a0all, without class, creed, color, life circumstance or life-choice. That is God\u2019s truth, the truth that\u00a0Christ willingly gave his life for on the Cross. Holding the truth of the wholeness of love is not\u00a0only the Christian and \u2018right\u2019 thing to do, but is to be aligned with the reality that will prevail as\u00a0the system ultimately purges itself of all untruths and the sources of anything less than whole,\u00a0unconditional love.\u201d6<\/p>\n
As Latter-day Saints (members and leaders) we have covenanted to manifest Christ-like love\u00a0\u201cat\u00a0all times\u00a0and in all\u00a0things, and in all\u00a0places\u201d (Mosiah 18:0). It is such love alone that makes\u00a0it possible for us, with God\u2019s help, to heal all disturbances in the field of faith. We do this by\u00a0remaining in the wholeness of love, and, in so doing so, empowering the coherence of love not\u00a0simply to endure, but to prevail. As Bradley notes, \u201cEven if we succumb out of fear to unloving,\u00a0divisive and destructive action, the wholeness of love will still ultimately prevail, for this is the\u00a0power of God\u2019s love, whether manifested directly from him or through us.\u201d7 This is the essential\u00a0message God reveals to us through to the prophets and our own hearts; this is the truth for\u00a0which Christ gave his life. Thus, as leaders and members, as followers of Christ, there is only\u00a0one question for us to ask at this critical time: \u201dWhat is the most loving thing we can do?\u201d8\u2014the\u00a0most loving toward our fellow saints (including those who don\u2019t agree with us), the most loving\u00a0toward our leaders (even when we may have been hurt by their decisions) and, especially at\u00a0this time, the most loving toward our gay brothers and lesbian sisters and their families.<\/p>\n
Today there is immense pain in Mormonism. Addressing that pain depends on our individual\u00a0acts of courage, sacrifice, and, especially, love. It is amidst that pain where much of the most\u00a0important work of repairing, healing and transforming through love is to be done. But there is\u00a0also the larger realm, the Church beyond the individual broken heart; beyond the sin and\u00a0insensitivity with which each of us must contend in trying to make the gospel and the Church\u00a0work in our lives, our families and our congregations; and beyond the madness and mystery\u00a0that characterize disturbances in the field of faith. That field of complexity, of challenge, of\u00a0difference, even of uncertainty is where Christ calls us to labor with him. It is as if he saying to\u00a0us, to use the words of Rumi, \u201cOut beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.\u00a0I\u2019ll meet you there.\u201d9<\/p>\n

2 The term is used in physics with reference to electromagnetic waves (see \u201cFundamentals of\u00a0Physics\/Electromagnetic Waves\u201d at\u00a0https:\/\/en.wikibooks.org\/wiki\/Fundamentals_of_Physics\/Electromagnetic_Waves). It is more controversial in\u00a0medicine and psychotherapy (see \u201cDefining the Terminology of Nursing\u201d at http:\/\/www.nanda.org\/DEFINING-THE-KNOWLEDGE-OF-NURSING-Priorities-for-Terminology-Development-_b_7.html). See also Steven H. Cooper, A\u00a0Disturbance in the Field: Essays in Transference-Countertransference Engagement (London: Routledge, 2010). I use the term herein\u00a0both as metaphor and to suggest its relevance to any energetic field.
