Line 1:
'''[[David Bohm]]''' believed, as countless thinkers<sup><small>[[#Footnote|1]]</small></sup> have, that true reality is different in some way from the reality we perceive. In his writings on the subject, Bohm distinguishes between actual and apparent reality with the terms '''Implicate''' and '''Explicate Order''', respectively. The proposed Implicate Order is to be a [[metaphysical]] entity responsible for matter and energy as well as consciousness (which belong to different categories under his scheme). It is to be the fundamental underlying substructure of everything.
Particularly crucial to his scheme is the notion that objects which seem separated by great distances in the Explicate Order (such as a particular electron here on earth and an [[alpha particle]] in one of the stars in the [[Abell 1835 IR1916|Abell 1835 galaxy]], the farthest galaxy from Earth known to humans) may actually be manifestations of a single object within the Implicate Order. It seems his motivation for this perspective is the room within quantum mechanics for the [[quantum entanglement|entanglement]] of such objects.
Line 9:
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.
