envisioning a new order
 

The implicate order would help us see … that everything enfolds everything.
To see that everybody not merely depends on everybody, but actually everybody is everybody in a deeper sense. We are the earth, because all our substance comes from the earth and goes back to it. It is a mistake to say it is an environment just surrounding us, because that would be like the brain regarding the rest of the body as part of its environment.

The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.

Creativity is always founded on the sensitive perception of what is new and different from what is inferred from previous knowledge.

When a learning state of mind operates, there's undivided and total interest in what one is doing.

What is characteristic about the results of creative action?
One perceives a new fundamental set of similar differences, that constitutes a genuinely new order and structure in the world that is seen.

… just as the health of the body demands that we breathe properly, so, whether we like it or not, the health of the mind requires that we be creative.

… in the long run, no really subtle, deep and far-reaching problems can be solved in any field whatsoever, except by people who are able to respond in an original and creative way, to the ever changing and developing fact by which they are confronted.

~ David Bohm - a selection of quotes from On Creativity
