Stripping away the known and seeing reality for what it is, rather than for what our thoughts represent it to be, provides the theme for this compelling conversation.

The late theoretical physicist David Bohm addresses the nature of thought and thinking, and how our conditioned minds become subordinate to the way we think. He says the thinking process "is a representation of what is, but is not what is," and goes on to challenge our perception of time and space as illusory.

From mindless thought to experiencing each moment as eternity, Bohm takes us on a whirlwind tour of consciousness.

I've thoroughly enjoyed every David Bohm interview on New Dimensions. He may be one of the most brilliant and open minded thinkers of the 20th century.

A very worthwhile 99 cent listen! brilliant!

David Bohm was a student working with Einstein and many of the physics luminaries at the time quantum mechanics were new. in his phd dissertation he was first to open the doors addressing "what does it mean to have an 'observer-influenced universe' ". this means he said if we affect the universe, if my thoughts affect reality, then what?
in geek speak - he was offering an opposing view to the popular "copenhagen interpretation" back when that was still new.
much of bohm's career was spent addressing our psychological realities and he even became close with krishnamurthi.
the man is an astounding intellect. i like to listen to him as he is trying to bring concepts beyond most of us down to simple terms. it's worth
re-listening as the ideas of the quantum reality - chopra/braden - many others propounding - come from bohm, who thought and lived it for over 50 yrs.

a pioneer in quantum & mind

This is basically a radio style interview with David Bohm. The program is produced by the New Dimensions Foundation, a ???new wave??? organization. Thus the interview is a blend of a little science and a lot of the relationship between the science and new wave ideas. Quantum physics in general, and De Broglie???Bohm theory in particular, involve a somewhat mysterious non-locality and observer effects. The mysteriousness of these affects leads some to link them to the mysteries of spirituality and transcendentalism. This program was less science focused than I had hoped, nevertheless Bohm is always interesting. My personal feeling is the Bohm???s theory is both contrived and completely incorrect, yet it is the theory most likely to lead a revolutionary change in fundamental physics.

More Spiritual then Physics

Halfway between metaphysical opinions and ethical postures, this short but profound interview approaches us to the personality of David Bohm, one of the greatest physicists of the past century. It is worthwhile anyhow.

Profound interview

I had no idea how utterly, terrifyingly, magnificently, an intelligent man could be so profoundly confused. This man is a primer in category errors. He is Mr. Excluded Middle. Mr. Law of Contradiction. Mr. No Law of Identity. He is a conversation with Shroediger's Cat captured in an emotional, psychological mouse trap. Silly, stupid and brilliant all concurrently and sequentially in a singularity of 40 mins where all the rules of logic, coherence, correspondence and identity desolve into a tasteless chocolate fondue. Wow!

Wow!
