I foggily recall first learning about physicist David Bohm’s ideas in an astrophysics course (yea verily, back in the Paleozoic), but my more serious (ironically) introduction to Bohm’s work came many years later when, as I was writing my memoir of Baja California, Miraculous Air, I started to experience strings of synchronicities, including encountering a work on synchronicity which went into some detail about Bohm and his ideas! The key concepts that have stayed with me over the years are the implicate order and nonlocal consciousness. More recently, I encountered Bohm’s writings again when, apropos of my book about Francisco I. Madero’s secret book, I started to to read a ways into the life and work of mystic Jiddu Krishnamurti, who, so it turned out later in his life, became Bohm’s friend and partner in an historic series of televised dialogues exploring the nature of consciousness. All of which is by way of a gravy-wavy introduction to the just-released and superb documentary “Infinite Potential,” which, thanks to the Fetzer Memorial Trust, you can watch in its entirety for free on the film’s official YouTube channel:
