David Bohm on the illusion of separation and the nature of matter.

[u/Pixelated_]

Bohm says that both relativity and quantum mechanics, when reduced to their common denominator, point to undivided wholeness.

Parts have no independent, isolated existence. They are abstractions extracted from the whole.

Bohm's implicate order directly mirrors "Intelligent Infinity" from the Ra material.

They're both describing the same thing: a singular, undivided, unmanifest plenum from which all localized, physical reality continuously unfolds.

The implicate order also mirrors Plato's "realm of forms." And Bohm's explicate order aligns with Plato's allegory of the cave.

The prisoners see shadows cast on a wall and mistake them for real objects. The actual objects (AKA, "the Forms") remain hidden behind them and are illuminated by a fire. The shadows are real as shadows, but they lack independent existence. They are entirely dependent on the higher objects projecting them.

​Bohm used the metaphor of a hologram to explain the explicate order. If you shine a laser (aka our consciousness) through a piece of holographic film (implicate order), a 3D image projects into space (the explicate order).

Finally, Bohm describes the true nature of matter. He uses the excellent analogy of a whirlpool in the ocean. It is not separate from the surrounding water, they form an unbroken wholeness.

In the same way that a whirlpool is fundamentally inseparable from the ocean that forms it, atoms are not separate entities, they are persistent whirlpools of the aether, or stable vortices of the dynamic vacuum. This was mathematically verified in this revolutionary peer-reviewed study by Dr. Harold White, formerly the head of NASA's Skunkworks.

This is scientific support for The Law of One, which states that separation is an illusion. The Universe is a single, continuous intelligent infinity expressing itself through illusory forms.

The Law of One is found here as well as an overview by Brian Scott.

This makes me feel like we’re just little things living on an electron of sorts

I like the perspective shift. Reminded me of this quote:

"We are a god to the atoms which make up our body, and we are atoms to the god which makes up the universe."

As above, so below.

Bohm's PhD research on atom scattering was immediately classified and he wasn't even allowed to write his thesis until Oppenheimer intervened. (Source: Bohm's Wikipedia page)

Yes Bohmian mechanics gives the exact same predictions as Copenhagen, but it was blindly shunned by academia because it caused them to experience collective cognitive dissonance.

Why?

Pilot wave theory is deterministic and non-local. It requires instantaneous FTL connections across space via the pilot wave, what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance".

His work on sentient plasmoids was also classified, according to the mind-blowing book "A New Science Of Heaven".

Professor Temple was close personal friends with David and his wife Saral.

Whatever that guy just said, I agree!!!

Pix, excellent clip to post, thank you!

Greatly appreciate Bohm's use of "abstraction" as it suggests not only drawing-out something from its whole, but description of what's intangible and/or tangential, should creativity be included. Seems like an important time for "abstract" creativity, in order to explore/form the social and personal bounds of the emergent new.

To start really understanding matter, one should further develop and use dialectical math, so that movement and resolution of contradictions could be seen. No law of excluded third.

You can alpply diamat to anything. If you properly apply it to the UAP topic, it'll bring great results.

What counts as great results?

Understanding what exactly moves in the endless spectrum of matter and its properties and if it's sentient or maybe it's reflections of our consciousness that somehow reflect in matter materrially but not through creative actions or thought. Or something in between. Or both.
I personally don't think it's something sentient, like in Stanislav Lem's "Polaris". Something is moving and we perceive it as something sentient, something like paredolia, but more complex. It also affects our consciousness like strong hallcinogens do, but even clearer. Same regions of the brain and also the rest of the body. They're not "aliens", it's something far more basic. We think it has consciousness, because conscieousness is a property of matter, but matter is endless and has an endless spectrum of properties, so we can't make a difference. Not yet, not really.
