The Artist and the Scientist in Dialogue with the World

[youtube width=”500″ height=”400″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICUJH86idBc[/youtube] David Bohm on Art, Science and Dialogue: Artists are not just ‘expressing themself’, not just ‘pushing outward what is already formed inside of them’. The first thing the artist does is only similar in certain ways to what they have in mind. As in a conversation between two people, they see the… Continue reading The Artist and the Scientist in Dialogue with the World

Thought Thinks the Problem is Out There

[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.

The ecology has not in itself a problem,… Continue reading Thought Thinks the Problem is Out There

Sort of structures that… Continue reading The Form and Content of Thought

A few weeks ago I got a book from the library that really fascinated me. And especially one chapter was so interesting that I wanted to write several blogposts about it. But while doing that, I found out that this book was an older version. And there was a more recent version that had an… Continue reading Thought is about Becoming, not Being

An Experiment with Language and Thought

In my previous post I made a start with describing an experiment by David Bohm that he did with language. The reason for this experiment was that he wanted to describe what is going on, on the quantum level of our world. Others said that it is only possible to describe that with mathematics, but… Continue reading An Experiment with Language and Thought
