David Bohm

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks to the Bohm Dialogue mailing list for making me aware of this.

The following Bohm Dialogue took place in 1988. When I have more exact information of the place/time I will modify this article.

Meaning And Information (PDF File) is David Bohm's contribution to the book “The Search for Meaning” - “The New Spirit in Science and Philosophy”. Published by Crucible in 1989, it is a collection of essays from scientists across many disciplines and that all center around the ideas put forth by David Bohm. The collection was edited by Paavo Pylkkanen

Dr. Mike Towler, Royal Society Research Fellow and College Lecturer at Emmanuel College has put together 38 slides about Bohm's science, metaphysics, and philosophy (PDF File).

Previously we wrote an article titled The Bohm-Krishnmaurti Conflict in which we explored a conflict between David Bohm and Jiddu Krishnamurti.  F. David Peat in his biography of David Bohm provided some information that is potentially indicative of a conflict between these two men.  However, a thoughtful viewer of the TKPI website made us aware of the following quote found in The Link Magazine by Saral Bohm in 1997: 

Basil Hiley describes the implication of David Bohm and his wholistic model of quantum mechanics on our view of life and reality. Basil Hiley is Emiretus professor of theoretical physics in Birbeck College, London.

Glenn Aparicio Parry wrote a Chapter on dialogue (PDF File) in which he covers:

Lee Nichol, an editor of several of David Bohm's books and a former teacher at Oak Grove School in Ojai, California, wrote an article tittled Wholeness Regained - Revisiting Bohm's Dialogue. This article explores some of the obstacles Bohm Dialogue groups ran into, and some of Bohm's thoughts on why things were going astray.

From the article:

Quoted from: Moshé Feldenkrais's Work with Movement - A Parallel Approach to Milton Erickson's Hypnotherapy by Mark Reese, Ph.D:

Feldenkrais worked primarily in the physical domain of touch and movement.

Bill Angelos has kindly posted a hour long video of an interview he did with David Bohm, along with a scanned transcript of the interview, on his website.
