    About this audiobook

    Theoretical physicist Bohm developed a theory of quantum physics that addresses both matter and consciousness as an unbroken whole. The late Bohm’s concept of “implicate order” provides a basis for bridging science to the realm of spirit. For two decades, he explored this possibility with religious philosopher J. Krishnamurti.

      A Theory of Consciousness Can Help Build a Theory of Everything

      For an empirical science, physics can be remarkably dismissive of some of our most basic observations. We see objects existing in definite locations, but the wave nature of matter washes that away. We perceive time to flow, but how could it, really?

      excellent ideas, falling somewhere between physics, metaphysics, and psychology. I found it challenging, but needed to listen more than once to absorb it all. maybe the main message is that everything is fully inter-tangled with everything, and our failure to really appreciate that leads to confusion or messes. Does not really require any specific previous knowledge of physics and quantum ideas, but the whole discussion is more sensible and more concrete if you have some of that knowledge as a backdrop.

      Greatly reflects on the whole versus the individual, and somewhat suggests that thinking of things as "individual" or having tight clear boundaries is in many ways a flawed approach to thinking.
