To change your reality you have to change your inner thoughts  (David Bohm Quotes) Anybody can use science and technology without fundamentally altering his own frame of mind which governs how they are used.  (David Bohm Quotes) Individuality is only possible if it unfolds from wholeness  (David Bohm Quotes) But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence  (David Bohm Quotes) A corporation is organized as a system - it has this department, that department, that department... they don’t have any meaning separately; they only can function together. And also the body is a system. Society is a system in some sense. And so on  (David Bohm Quotes) And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call ‘sustained incoherence  (David Bohm Quotes) But you don’t decide what to do with the info. Thought runs you. Thought, however, gives false info that you are running it, that you are the one who controls thought. Whereas actually thought is the one which controls each one of us  (David Bohm Quotes) Similarly, thought is a system. That system not only includes thought and feelings, but it includes the state of the body; it includes the whole of society - as thought is passing back and forth between people in a process by which thought evolved from ancient times  (David Bohm Quotes) Suppose we were able to share meanings freely without a compulsive urge to impose our view or conform to those of others and without distortion and self-deception. Would this not constitute a real revolution in culture  (David Bohm Quotes) Yet it looks as if the thing we use to solve our problems with is the source of our problems. It’s like going to the doctor and having him make you ill. In fact, in 20% of medical cases we do apparently have that going on. But in the case of thought, its far over 20%  (David Bohm Quotes) If I am right in saying that thought is the ultimate origin or source, it follows that if we don’t do anything about thought, we won’t get anywhere. We may momentarily relieve the population problem, the ecological problem, and so on, but they will come back in another way  (David Bohm Quotes) If we can be cheered up by positive images we can be depressed by negative ones. As long as we accept images as realities we are in that trap, because you can’t control the images.  (David Bohm Quotes) Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale.  (David Bohm Quotes) If you engage in positive thinking to overcome negative thoughts, the negative thoughts are still there acting. That’s still incoherence. It’s not enough just to engage in positive thoughts when you have negative thoughts registered, because they keep on working and will cause trouble somewhere else.  (David Bohm Quotes) Consciousness is much more of the implicate order than is matter . . . Yet at a deeper level [matter and consciousness] are actually inseparable and interwoven , just as in the computer game the player and the screen are united by participation.  (David Bohm Quotes) Thought has been constantly evolving and we can’t say when that system began  (David Bohm Quotes) Thought is creating divisions out of itself and then saying that they are there naturally  (David Bohm Quotes) Universe consists of frozen light  (David Bohm Quotes) The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained  (David Bohm Quotes) Yet, in spite of this world wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale  (David Bohm Quotes) This is another major feature of thought: Thought doesn’t know it is doing something and then it struggles against it is doing. It doesn’t want to know that it is doing it  (David Bohm Quotes) So one begins to wonder what is going to happen to the human race. Technology keeps on advancing with greater and greater power, either for good or for destruction  (David Bohm Quotes) Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows, thought itself is in an actual process of movement  (David Bohm Quotes) A new kind of mind thus beings to come into being which is based on the development of a common meaning that is constantly transforming in the process of the dialogue  (David Bohm Quotes) In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined  (David Bohm Quotes) In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe  (David Bohm Quotes) Indeed, the attempt to live according to the notion that the fragments are really separate is, in essence, what has led to the growing series of extremely urgent crises that is confronting us today  (David Bohm Quotes) My suggestion is that at each state the proper order of operation of the mind requires an overall grasp of what is generally known, not only in formal logical, mathematical terms, but also intuitively, in images, feelings, poetic usage of language, etc  (David Bohm Quotes) People are no longer primarily in opposition, nor can they be said to be interacting, rather they are participating in this pool of common meaning which is capable of constant development and change  (David Bohm Quotes) This kind of overall way of thinking is not only a fertile source of new theoretical ideas: it is needed for the human mind to function in a generally harmonious way, which could in turn help to make possible an orderly and stable society  (David Bohm Quotes)
