More quotes by David Bohm
Individuality is only possible if it unfolds from wholeness.
David Bohm
We can't simply take the way things seem and just work on that, because that would be another kind of mistake thought makes-taking the surface and calling it the reality.
David Bohm
Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale.
David Bohm
Deep down the consciousness of mankind is one. This is a virtual certainty because even in the vacuum matter is one and if we don't see this, it's because we are blinding ourselves to it.
David Bohm
If you engage in positive thinking to overcome negative thoughts, the negative thoughts are still there acting. That's still incoherence. It's not enough just to engage in positive thoughts when you have negative thoughts registered, because they keep on working and will cause trouble somewhere else.
David Bohm
From the outset, however, this whole controversy has been plagued by tacit assumptions, very often of a philosophical rather than a physical character.
David Bohm
We have the idea that after we have been thinking something, it just evaporates. But thinking doesn't disappear. It goes somehow into the brain and leaves something-a trace-which becomes thought. And thought then acts automatically.
David Bohm
Can we learn to become more learning-oriented individually and collectively, rather than 'I know' oriented?
David Bohm
The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.
David Bohm
Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows, thought itself is in an actual process of movement.
David Bohm
Ultimately, all moments are really one, therefore now is an eternity.
David Bohm
A corporation is organized as a system - it has this department, that department, that department... they don't have any meaning separately they only can function together. And also the body is a system. Society is a system in some sense. And so on.
David Bohm
Ego-centeredness is not individuality at all.
David Bohm
Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy.
David Bohm
Thought is creating divisions out of itself and then saying that they are there naturally.
David Bohm
Similarly, thought is a system. That system not only includes thought and feelings, but it includes the state of the body it includes the whole of society - as thought is passing back and forth between people in a process by which thought evolved from ancient times.
David Bohm
In the long run, it is far more dangerous to adhere to illusion than to face what the actual fact is.
David Bohm
We could say that practically all the problems of the human race are due to the fact that thought is not proprioceptive.
David Bohm
A new kind of mind thus beings to come into being which is based on the development of a common meaning that is constantly transforming in the process of the dialogue.
David Bohm
One thus sees that a new kind of theory is needed which drops these basic commitments and at most recovers some essential features of the older theories as abstract forms derived from a deeper reality in which what prevails in unbroken wholeness.
David Bohm
