The Sheldrake Vernon Dialogues David Bohm: his life and ideas
Jun 26, 2020
David Bohm, a groundbreaking quantum physicist, is featured alongside Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon, who delve into his revolutionary ideas. They discuss Bohm's dramatic life and conflicts with the scientific elite, drawing parallels to his philosophical explorations with Krishnamurti. Interesting insights include Bohm's concept of implicate order and its relation to morphic fields. The conversation also examines the holistic understanding of reality and consciousness, urging a dynamic approach to existence, supported by the newly released film on Bohm's life.

Episode notes
Sheldrake-Bohm Meeting and Bond
- Rupert Sheldrake connected with David Bohm through Krishnamurti and shared similar experiences of ostracism by the scientific community.
- They engaged in dialogues exploring connections between morphic resonance and Bohm's implicate order theories.
Quantum Potential as Hidden Order
- Bohm's quantum potential suggests an underlying order guiding quantum randomness, akin to morphic fields.
- This implies natural processes might be influenced by hidden variables shaping probabilities rather than pure randomness.
Feedback and Memory in Quantum Theory
- Bohm's initial quantum potential was deterministic without feedback; later he incorporated feedback between explicate and implicate order.
- This folding-back concept introduces a memory-like aspect to quantum processes, resembling habitual influence.
