A Vast Ocean of Energy
“We inhabit a vast ocean of energy which is outside the reach of our senses and our measuring instruments.”
–David Bohm (American-born Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher, 1917-1992)
Wholeness
“Relativity and quantum theory agree in that both imply the need to look upon the world as an undivided whole in which all the parts of the universe merge and unite in one totality.”
–David Bohm (American-born Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher, 1917-1992)

The Universal Flux of Events and Processes
“Indeed, to some extent it has always been necessary and proper for man, in his thinking, to divide things up, if we tried to deal with the whole of reality at once, we would be swamped.
However when this mode of thought is applied more broadly to man’s notion of himself and the whole world in which he lives, i.e. in his world-view then man ceases to regard the resultant divisions as merely useful or convenient and begins to see and experience himself and this world as actually constituted of separately existing fragments. What is needed is a relativistic theory, to give up altogether the notion that the world is constituted of basic objects or building blocks.
Rather one has to view the world in terms of universal flux of events and processes.”
–David Bohm (American-born Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher, 1917-1992)
Meaning and Communication
“In communication, meaning unfolds into the whole community and unfolds from the community into each person. Thus, there is an internal relationship of human beings to each other, and to society as a whole. The explicate form of all this is the structure of society, and the implicate form is the content of the culture, which extends into the consciousness of each person.”
–David Bohm (American-born Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher, 1917-1992) and F. David Peat (English Physicist and Writer, 1938)
A Single Undivided Whole
“Ultimately, the entire universe has to be understood as a single undivided whole.”
–David Bohm (American-born Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher, 1917-1992)
“RC Series Bundle: Wholeness and the Implicate Order” (David Bohm)
Thinking in Wholes
“If we think of the totality as constituted of independent fragments, then that is how our minds will tend to operate, but if we can include everything, coherently and harmoniously in one overall whole that is undivided, unbroken….then our minds will tend to move in a similar way, and from this will flow an orderly action within the whole.”
–David Bohm (American-born Theoretical Physicist and Philosopher, 1917-1992)
