[youtube width=”500″ height=”400″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAi15yeKmYY[/youtube] David Bohm on Thought: Thought has developed traditionally in a way that claims not to be affecting anything but just telling you the way things are. Therefore people can not see that they are creating a problem and then apparently trying to solve it. The ecology has not in itself a problem,… Continue reading Thought Thinks the Problem is Out There

A Coherent Approach to Reality
[youtube width=”500″ height=”400″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA2fvb0buyc[/youtube] David Bohm on Coherence and Consciousness: If we can have a coherent approach to reality, then reality will respond coherently to us. But nature has been tremendously affected by our way of thinking. There is very little left on earth, that isn’t affected by how we were thinking. The major source of… Continue reading A Coherent Approach to Reality
Mechanism vs Meaning
Recently I listened to an interview with the very intriguing title: Is Consciousness Energy? The title made me really curious, as I have been wondering about that for a long time now. It is an interview of Dean Radin with Christian de Quincey, whose final conclusion is that consciousness is not the same as energy.… Continue reading Mechanism vs Meaning
Focus vs Context and Language vs Psyche
A few weeks ago I came across a blogpost about a book called The Master and his Emissary. The writer of that post thought the book was very important, maybe even the book of the century. In that same blogpost was a video with the writer of the book, Iain McGilchrist. I watched that video… Continue reading Focus vs Context and Language vs Psyche
Is our World Dualistic after all?
This is the third time I am going to upload the same video on this blog. The reason for that is that I think this video is extremely important. I think it gives a way out of a very old problem. The problem of choice between Monism and Dualism. It is a video of the physicist… Continue reading Is our World Dualistic after all?
Three Subconscious Levels
In Three Levels of the Mind I used three signs, to symbolise the primordial, individual and universal mind. In that context, all three together represent the conscious mind. In my previous post, Subconscious or Psyche, three other signs represent the subconscious mind. That part of all knowledge that is not consciously known, but largely influences… Continue reading Three Subconscious Levels
Subconscious or Psyche
I was going to write about the different forms of subconscious. But before I could get anything done, there was this very first problem already. Should I use the word subconsious, or is it better to use the word unconscious? What is actually the difference? Then I thought, okay what do I mean to describe?… Continue reading Subconscious or Psyche
Debate or Dialogue
After my previous post about different types of discussions I got to think there have to be some differentiations already. But they are likely not just all called discussion. So what other forms of discussion are there? After some searching I found that the most characteristic forms are debate and dialogue. I was not sure… Continue reading Debate or Dialogue
Consciousness Discussions
These last days I have been discussing consciousness. I really like to discuss that. What is consciousness, how is it created, are animals conscious? Just one of my favorite subjects to discuss. But also one of the most difficult ones. Because in order to discuss something we need consciousness itself. We need some level of… Continue reading Consciousness Discussions
Collective Unconscious
Just now I looked at my previous post Individual Language again and I suddenly realised something. I mentioned several theories and ever so many people that came up with those theories. But no matter how important those theories are (in general, but especially in the purpose of this blog) there is one theorie that is… Continue reading Collective Unconscious
