3. David Bohm- Wholeness and the Implicate Order.pdf
This topic explores David Bohm’s influential theory of an undivided wholeness that defines the universe, suggesting that our visible reality is merely an explicate order emerging from a deeper, fundamental implicate order. By synthesizing quantum mechanics and relativity, the source posits that consciousness and matter are not separate entities but are linked projections of this underlying reality, much like a holographic process or the movement within a flowing stream. The author further examines the pilot-wave theory and the transactional interpretation of physics to argue that the universe functions through active information and a "handshaking" between the past and the future. Ultimately, the document aims to provide a scientific framework for backward causation and a universal pool of knowledge, suggesting that the present is a collaborative result of both historical conditions and future possibilities.

We tend to experience the world as a solid, predictable place. Chairs are solid, time moves forward, and the past is fixed. This common-sense perception of a clockwork universe gives us a stable foundation for our lives. But beneath this surface, the discoveries of quantum physics reveal a reality that is far stranger, more interconnected, and more mysterious than we could ever imagine.
One of the most profound guides into this deeper reality was the physicist David Bohm. He argued that our most fundamental theories of the universe contained contradictions that pointed toward a more fundamental level of existence. This article explores four of the most surprising and impactful ideas from his work and related theories—concepts that challenge our understanding of everything from matter and consciousness to time itself.
