Wholeness and the Implicate Order explained

Wholeness and the Implicate Order is a book by theoretical physicist David Bohm. It was originally published in 1980 by Routledge, United Kingdom.

The book is considered a basic reference for Bohm's concepts of undivided wholeness and of implicate and explicate orders, as well as of Bohm's rheomode - an experimental language based on verbs. The book is cited, for example, by philosopher Steven M. Rosen in his book The Self-evolving Cosmos,^[1] by mathematician and theologian Kevin J. Sharpe in his book David Bohm's World,^{[2] [3]} by theologian Joseph P. Farrell in Babylon's Banksters,^[4] and by theologian John C. Polkinghorne in his book One World.^[5]
