Undivided Wholeness

Description

Michael Martin:

"In their epochal publication The Undivided Universe: An Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Theory, David Bohm and Basil Hiley propose the idea that reality (and by this they mean all of reality, not just physical or quantifiable reality) is characterized by an “undivided wholeness,” and that imagination and intuition are important tools for disclosing what they call the holographic nature of being in which the part is implied in the whole while the whole is implicit in the part. This property of the implicitness of the cosmos (not really a far cry from the medieval notion of the microcosm and the macrocosm) they explain as enfoldment which they say, “is not merely a metaphor, but…has to be taken fairly literally.”[1] This is to say that, “although each thought of the essence is an appearance, it also reflects a reality that is however always dependent for its existence as well as for its qualities and properties on broader contexts and deeper levels.”
