all matter

The notion of a separate organism is clearly an abstraction, as is also its boundary. Underlying all this is unbroken wholeness even though our civilization has developed in such a way as to strongly emphasize the separation into parts.

There is a universal flux that cannot be defined explicitly but which can be known only implicitly, as indicated by the explicitly definable forms and shapes, some stable and some unstable, that can be abstracted from the universal flux.

In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances.
Rather, they are different aspects of one whole and unbroken movement.


—David Bohm (1917 - 1992)

It is plausible that what seems like matter to our senses is nothing more than the effect of whirling dances of particles.

In holography, the reality of an object is its interference pattern, which the laser beam then translates into a three-dimensional image. In the same way the true nature of things is the rhythms of the basic code that the senses translate into three-dimensional images. Things are all essentially the same. What changes is the rhythm. 

If the rhythm of iron changed to that of wood, we would perceive it as wood and not as iron anymore.

This little finger covers the eye and prevents the whole world from being seen. 

In the same way this small mind covers the whole universe and prevents Reality from being seen.
