Thought Knowledge Perception Institute

Open Door is an independant study centre organising weekends and gatherings one hour from Toulouse, south-west France. Created simply out of one person's inquiry and interest in J.Krishnamurti, the centre in no way wishes to play the role of spiritual centre, nor pretend to be what it isn't. It is a place offering the possibility of like-minded interest to gather energy for insight and transformation.

Google's Knol website returns a few hits for David Bohm.

Dr. Tim Thornton, Professor of Philosophy and Mental Health at the University of Central Lancashire, has written an article titled Tacit Knowledge of Theories of Meaning.

The first two paragraphs of this article:

David Bohm was a member of The Scientific and Medical Network, a network that aims: "to provide a safe forum for the critical and open minded discussion of ideas that go beyond conventional paradigms in science, medicine and philosophy". If you use their search feature to search for "David Bohm", many pages of results come up with articles referring to him.

You can watch this video on Youtube. From the Youtube page for this video:

Early 90s documentary featuring artist Robert Rauschenberg, David Bohm, the Dalai Lama. Looks at the fusion of art and perspectives on science and spirituality.

We stumbled upon this conversation between David Bohm and Lee Nichol from 1989 titled Self, Society, and Proprioception. We have seen it before but cannot remember where. This conversation is a good, short introduction into some of the difficulties and deceptions involved in self-inquiry.

Stephen G. Henrey wrote an article titled: A Clinical Perspective on Tacit Knowledge and Its Varieties. The following is the abstract for the article:

A PDF book titled Mapping Dialogue: A research project profiling dialogue tools and processes for social change is available freely online. This project was produced by the Pioners of Change organization, and it was commissioned by The German Technical Co-Operation (GTZ).

This PDF document mentions Bohm dialogue briefly but nonetheless serves as a good survey of what dialogue methodologies, in the context of social change, are out there.

We post about any dialogue groups we come across because there are so few and because we feel it's worthwhile to follow up on the dialogue experiment and what has come out of it.

About Hester Reeves: (From the New Work Network website)

Hester Reeve has been trained as a Bohmian Dialogian and been practicing for many years in a series of contexts, some of which include establishing Dialogue Groups at Sheffield Hallam University where she teaches as well as for a number of years in prisons.

The SEED Institute has put together the 2011 Thirteenth Annual Language of Spirit Conference.

The Krishnamurti Information Network has a page about the 2011 Krishnamurti Gatherings in Switzerland.

This year will mark the 26th year that the International Krishnamurti Gathering has been held in Switzerland since Krishnamurti's death. The main purpose of the gathering is to provide close and informal contact between people interested in deepening their understanding of Krishnamurti´s teachings.

The gathering takes place between July 29 and August 12, 2011.

Update: As per our previous post A Conversation Between Bill Angelos and Taher Gozel (Youtube) the following is the complete list of video interviews:

Bill Angelos and Taher Gozel discuss the connection between Krishnamurti and David Bohm and share their personal exploration and understanding of these two great men's ideas.

This five part interview between Bill Angelos (See Mr. Angelos's blog here) and Taher Gozel is recommended as these two men are among the few who are seriously continuing to explore Bohm and Krishnamurti's work.

Future Primitive (.org) put out an interview with F. David Peat on May 20, 2011, titled Gentle Revolution.

The following is from the New Dimensions website:

Thanks to a recent post on the Bohm Dialogue Mailing List - David-bohm.org we became aware of several David Bohm links related to his work in physics.

At TKPI we focus more on activism than hard science. However, it is interesting to follow the people who continue to explore the science side of Bohm's work.

While browsing the Krishnamruti Information Network Forums we came across an interesting post about two articles.

The first of these aticles appears in the March 2011 Scientific American and is titled Living in a Dream World: The Role of Daydreaming in Problem-Solving and Creativity

However, my experience with these kinds of on-line discussions is that members who respond to a question rarely ask for any context. Rather they respond in declarative statements about their own experience or they offer their own rules of thumb. Seldom is there an attempt for asker and responder to probe the meaning that the other is attempting to convey. For this reason I think on-line discussions are not an effective way to share tacit knowledge
