Thanks Constance for reminding us that merely by the forgetfulness of one's own true state, the consciousness undergoes many troubles and sorrows and experiences pitiable downfall.

However, there is good news in the knowing and feeling the Truth that the greatest glory lies in rising when we fall. And it does not lie in consistently doing successful material endeavors. It is then OK to fall sometimes as human beings. As long as we rise up from this fall rather quickly. And to rising up, we can surely hope fervently and in fact that's where the fall yields to our own Self-growth. A word of caution though: let's not keep falling in the same hole again and again.

Also regarding the "whole", one is whole only when one feels-knows that one in reality is the whole and strictly indivisible in one's own intrinsic nature. And realizes that in that supreme Consciousness that is whole all the time, we live, we move and have our being. Wouldn't it be great to let this essence flow in our silent contemplations and in the living of our lives. Remembering further that this wholeness and oneness is in quality and not in quantity.

In that quality we establish ourselves and operate from this mode in our day to day affairs.

We can all fly together in this great sublime mode. How about that?

Love and Best Wishes........Ram

For Bohm there is an underlying order of wholeness beneath our perception of separate things. He likened this to a flowing stream:

On this stream, one may see an ever-changing pattern of vortices, ripples, waves, splashes, etc., which evidently have no independent existence as such. Rather, they are abstracted from the flowing movement, arising and vanishing in the total process of the flow. Such transitory subsistence as may be possessed by these abstracted forms implies only a relative independence or autonomy of behavior, rather than absolutely independent existence as ultimate substances.
