Many, along with Bohm himself, have seen strong connections between his ideas and ideas from the East. Some proponents of [[new age| alternative religions]] (such as [[shamanism]]) claim a connection with their belief systems as well.

==The Implicate Order and Deism==
Many [[Deist]]s believe that the implicate order and other empirically analysed phenomena are strong evidence for a [[God-Mind]] consciousness which presides over the totality of reality. However, in contrast to [[religion]], these people generally do not attribute personification, gender or belief systems to this Universal Mind. Rather, they regard it as the all-pervading consciousness, existing in a non-local, non-temporal state, which comprises the whole of all existence, similar to the [[Early Christian]] concept of God (Jmmanuel: "The hierarchy of God is not in the sky, the sea, or the earth, but within you and without you, pervading all"), the [[Buddhist]] concept of Oneness, the [[Hindu]] concept of Brahman, etc. Although the religious groups generally attribute laws, tenets, or reward and punishment of some kind to God-Mind, whereas Deists generally do not, regarding It as completely neutral.
Some examples of Deists throughout history include [[Albert Einstein]], [[Benjamin Franklin]] (and most of the other United States Founding Fathers), [[Michael Faraday]], [[Renes Descartes]], [[Socrates]], [[Xenophanes]], [[Aristotle]], and many, many others.
A major proponent of the idea of a [[God-Mind]] is [[Stewart Swerdlow]], a mentalist who worked on the [[Montauk Project]], and claims to bear knowledge of many scientific concepts and information currently not available to the general public.
