riveron friend: David Bohm

David Bohm american born theoretical physicist (December 20, 1917 Wilkes-Barre, PA–October 27, 1992 London, Uk) author (or discoverer) of an extremely elegant model of the universe that tunes-in with the deepest intuition of undivided wholeness. He is undoubtedly the foremost figure in what is known as the holographic paradigm, a shift from a ratio-mechanical worldview into an all-inclusive perspective of the world as an interconnected whole where, as in a hologram, every part contains the in-formation of the entire photograph or universe.

" a hologram reveals how total content--in principle extending over the whole of space and time--is enfolded in the movement of waves (electromagnetic and other kinds) in any given region."

“All the worlds whirl in a grain of sand”.

"light is the means by which the entire universe unfolds into itself.

Bohm is like the priest of the future, that weds back science with religion and art, that looks more like the past, riding the spirit of present times, weaving together rigorous episteme with resonating fractal intuition.

David Bohm wears Indra's jeweled net on his neck.

As a child Bohm experienced the call of the secret in the woods and developed an unquenchable drive to seek for the hidden cause of things. (He later developed the hidden variables theory).

Like Blake and Einstein, Bohm pre-emphasized imagination as a way to attain knowledge. In this way empathizing with the deep order lying within -the creative and dynamic process of consciousness unfolding into manifest reality.

Bohm faced persecution for alleged communist beliefs which led him to exile. Later he faced collegiate dissaproval and tagbearing which deemed him as more of a mystic than a methodistic scientist. However Bohm remained true to himself. Working the out-of-bounds akash with dandy math.

Some of Bohm’s friends and associates where: Albert Einstein, Oppenheimer (Bohm refused to particpate in the Manhattan Project), J. Krishnamurti, Stan Grof, Karl Pribram, The Dalai Lama (Bohm was his personal physics teacher).
,
Bohm is widely regarded as a good guy, always humble and willing, he is ,like the taomaster an "oldboy", who dug the void for impersonal surfgold.

Early in his career Bohm confronted the ghost in the machine, adressing the primordial task in modern physics, the evident contradiction between quantum mechanics and relativistic theory. In a way an older dilemma, the dualistic paradox: that of fluid motion and stillness, that of the One and the Many, cause and chance, mind and matter.

For this he came up with his theory of an Implicate Order that unfolds into an Explicate Order through an all-pervasive holomovement or:

“the unbroken wholeness of the totality of existence as an undivided flowing movement without borders”


“In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather they are different aspects…”

perhaps like dreams and reality…

The indeterministic and “spooky action at a distance” of quantum physics resolved into a non-local, causal and panpsychic universe where randomness is but the contextual expression of a deeper order.

For Bohm the world we perceive is but the ripple on the surface of an implicate order that underlies as an ocean of energy, where, if we delve into the vacuum or zeropoint-energy, we find that “ a single cubic centimetre of empty space contains more energy than all of the matter in the known universe “.

From this unfathomable depth spring subatomic particles:

“fundamentally, the particle is only an abstraction that is manifest to our senses. What is, is always a totality of ensembles, all present together, in an orderly series of stages of enfoldment and unfoldment, which intermingle and inter-penetrate each other in principle throughout the whole of space".

In that sense all the billions of billions of electrons distributed throughout space are but one same electron which unfolds from an ocean of quantum potential, in truth inseparable from its source like a wave is inseparable from the sea, and as it reaches reality’s bay it carries the whole of the sea at a particular place of time- this is the collapse of the wavefunction, the break of tide, deeply unbroken.


The electron cannot forget the unity that conforms his being…

The electron has complete and instant acess to cosmic internet…

The electron confirms this by acting like a highly evolved multidimensional miniastronaut.

This could explain such strange phenomena as quantum entanglement or quantum superimposition, where (faster than light) instantaneous communication takes place or a same particle is at more than one place at the same time, when all particles are part of a great and subtle body that extends its edges into apparent and ilusory oblivion.

Can we imagine all things already connected, without the necessity of wires or emissions, without traveling an angstrom,
knowing and experiencing everything the other knows and experiences?

This is where thought cannot go. This is where suffering comes from.

It is also the point of the cosmic play, the mystery:


"Of the mystery? I think you could see it like this: that if you look into the field of thought and reason and so on, you finally see it has no clear foundation. Therefore, you see that "what is" must be beyond that. 'What is' is the mystery. (Bohm and Krishnamurti).


David Bohm saw the connection where the implicate order knits with the explicate order as a kind of pier inviting us to dive beyond into the depths of a mysterious holocean..

... and if we knew how to access, "tear the veil" of this superquantum interlocking aleph of holographic projection we could find "Andromedas galaxy in our fingerprint", see the past and future in the crystalball of a molecule of air, the rise and fall of worlds boiling in a puddle...

* ************************************************ *

U are already part of the waves of light that make up the hologram, but the hologram has been systematically fragmented so u can only see a blurry image, making it difficult to recognize your face forming everywhere...

Bohm believed that fragmentation was the main cause of cultural discontent, reality being considered objective ( sacred) and separate from consciousness. Being in truth the otherway around: consciousness creating reality, for mind cannot but unfold reality being part of the same flowing whole and sharing unyieldingly the creative backdrop of the implicate order.

Bohm pointed out that both science and thought limit us in our approach to the immeasurable whole, sharing the vice of forming a world of their own in which they are everything, reifing and imagining that there is nothing but what they think about themselves and what they think about. A self-contained narcissus-narcosis.

“Through freeform dialogue it is possible to reestablish a genuine and creative collective consciousness”.

"Deep down the consciousness of mankind is one. This is a virtual certainty because even in the vacuum matter is one; and if we don't see this, it's because we are blinding ourselves to it."


For wiring deep into the mirror who’s name is Unity

For setting in motion the river that flows without division.

For giving being to meaning -the metaphor of our times: the hologram.

David Bohm is a river-on friend.

Before an After Science: Global Conciousness Project

“Thy spirit shall ride digital waves”

17th century anonymous.

GCP is a collective international effort of various disciplines, it involves the contribution of scientists, artists, engineers, and programmers. It's main purpose is to investigate the physical effects printed by the collective human consciousness. This project keeps an intimate relation with Teilhard De Chardin’s concept of noosphere.

--- the permanent manifolding of universe towards integration... ---


“A global network of electronic devices produces continuous random data sequences. Subtle patterns in the data are linked with events that cause shared thoughts and emotions in millions of people. The results challenge common ideas about the world, but independent analyses confirm the unexpected patterns, and also indicate that they cannot be attributed to ordinary physical forces or electromagnetic fields.”


“The Global Consciousness Project is an international collaboration created in 1998 to study the subtle reach of human consciousness in the physical world. We maintain a network of random event generators (REGs) with nodes in more than 50 locations, from Alaska to Fiji, on all continents, and in nearly every time zone.”

the river sounds on: FSOL

This is the Future Sound of London


Electronic music project, created on a probably foggy day, in Manchester, UK, around mid eighties, by a couple of friends: Brian Dougans and Garry Cobain.

Along the history of the band, the duo has maintained a really discrete and mysterious way of handling the media and their audience.

Although they’re usually labeled as ambient, their music has denied every attempt on inserting them into a specific genre. They surf from unique ambient manifestations through tribal rhythms, spiritual atmospheres, ludic evolution and psychedelic sonoric expansion. Along their carrier Dougans and Cobain have shown different lines of deep exploration, resulting in a colorful cocktail of sounds and moods. Their search has included different areas, including 2D and 3D computer animations, experimental radio broadcast, video and film.

Famous for their finesse in remixing and samplings, this duo has remixed works of Robert Fripp, Curve and David Sylvian.

Amorphous Androgynous, Art Science Technology, Humanoid, Intelligent Communication, Mental Cube, Q, Semi real, Yupie and Yage, are only some of their aliases.

“People are gradually realizing, ‘Actually I’ll make less money, take more risks, have more faith, sell my house, move out of London, work for different people, find different people, then discover ‘My God, life’s a trip, My God, life’s exciting, My God how did I ever accept the prison walls.’ That’s what it’s all about. I don’t need massive amounts of money, to be honest; I live very simply. At those points when people threaten my freedom of expression, I just say goodbye and go with people that love what I do. Personal truth will not harm me in the long run.”

In the last years, this bright couple of sonic explorers has shown a deep attraction towards Psychedelia, a stronger presence of organic and ethnic elements characterizes their latest work.

""Psychedelia is about escaping from our adult cells and getting back to a childlike perspective on life, possibility, joy, fun...celebration, really.
I think there was a period when electronic music was really a way out, it was [about] breaking lots of rules, and then it's just became a set of rules,"



These are some of FSOL’s most significant works:

Stakker '92 (as Humanoid) (1992)
Accelerator (1992)
Earthbeat (early releases using several aliases) (1992)
Tales of Ephidrina (as Amorphous Androgynous) (1993)
Cascade (1993)
The Far-Out Son of Lung and the Ramblings of a Madman (1994)
Lifeforms (feat. Elizabeth Fraser) (1994)
Dead Cities (1996)
Papua New Guinea 2001 (2001)
The Isness (as Amorphous Androgynous) (2002)
Alice In Ultraland (as Amorphous Androgynous) (2005)



“Life and every aspect of it is even more amazing, the more aware you are; to breathe and fuck, whatever you want consciously becomes the most amazing thing,”


Because of their “one step ahead” musical philosophy and their sensitive codification sampling to create mystical sonic paths, the river sounds on the Future Sound of London.

river on friend: Roberto Baggio

Born (feb. 18, 1967) in Caldogno, near Vicenza, north of Italy.

Fore some people, he is considered the finest player in soccer history.

Awarded, in 1993, with the FIFA’s World Player of the Year and also the Ballon D’Or.

He began his carrier with Vicenza, in the italian serie C1, 1981. He played there until Fiorentina took him to the Serie A of the calcio. During his five years with this team, Baggio became a divine figure among Fiorentina’s fans. In 1990 he was transferred to the Juventus in a world record transfer: 19 million USD. With this squad, Baggio reached his best moments as a soccer player. After wining a scudetto with the Viecca Signora he went to play with Milan, Internatzionale, Bologna and finally Brescia, where he retired in 2004 having scored 205 goal in the Serie A. This made him the fifth highest scorer in the Italian league’s history.

Baggio published an autobiography titled “Una porta nel cielo”.

His spiritual life has been devoted to the Soka gakkai Budhism. This has been a crucial element in the development of his luminous professional carrier. It seems that Baggio clearly understands the relation of magic and soccer, the potential spiritual conjunction between time, space, rhythm, clarity and intention.

With winged feet and ludic elegance “Ill Divino Baggio” plays with the mirror, here we consider him as a teammate: as a riveron friend.

smiling with deadly dart darling at u --- and a sort of yes
libertine blind passage through redlights--- no more lies

messing around missing none just like a crack in reality
where a firecraker empire blast around, smoke-in mirrors crack

Unicorns vs Phoenix (ride the unicorn)

Unicorns are more fun than phoenix
Although pheonix are highly sexual
Unicorns are alluringly virginal
And like to graze and frolic
Through the fields of blue grass
Their horns are filled with subtle
Serpentines that pop out
Of angels armpits and tickle
Chameleons genetic resonance
They mean foam (soft venus) party
Like pebbles and sand castles
That become clouds, loftier
And etherealized, unicorns
Are more like the holy ghost
Messengers of mother magic
Phoenix are like the heavenly father
All wrathful and with an uncanny fire
Blinding and enthralling
With the suns empire
Not as dreamy and gentle but devastating
With unyielding fullfilment
Rampaging deserts of gold
I guess one shouldn’t choose
But im immature and like silver’s
Cool feeling and moonlight
Rivers with girls appearing
(stoned immaculate images)
You might like a phoenix better
And its ok different tempers
Mix in alchemy as we reach
For a higher chemistry
Grasping realms of diversified
Energy and experience-
Endless. like imaginal
Princedoms playing with mind
And matter. endless
The beings that consciousness
Breeds. and i look at the garden
Where floats an egg of white light.
ominous. Somehow there is always
a carriage that takes you into the stars.

river on friend: Nicola Tesla

"Universal peace as a result of cumulative effort through past centuries might come into existence quickly - not unlike a crystal that suddenly forms in a solution which has been slowly prepared”.


Master in western wisdom. Electricity alchemist.

1856-1943
Serbian born electrical engineer, he saw his first light at midnight, during an electric storm in Smilijan, a mountainous village that is now part of Croatia.

He arrived to the US with 4 cents in his pocket, some of his poems and a series of ilustrations about flying machines designs.

Considered as one of the most important contributors to the scientific development in electricity and magnetism, and the greatest electrical engineer. He’s also famous for designing a system that lead to the creation of worldwide communication with artifacts such as radio, fax and radar.


Among his most important inventions we can find:

X-rays
Vacuum tube amplifier
Fluorescent bulb
Neon lights
Speedometer
Automobile ignition system
Electron microscope
Microwave oven


"The chief cause of war is the vast extent of this planet. The gradual annihilation of distance will put human beings in closer contact and harmonize their views and aspirations."

The legacy of his geniality is printed in today’s daily use on many electrical devices. His work eventually represented fundamental contribution in deferent fields such as robotics, computer science, nuclear physics and electro-domestics.

It is said that Tesla worked with time-travel technology. Some of his studies have been used in different space projects over the last decades.

Free electric energy for everyone was Tesla’s most profound desire. He even created a special panel that’s serves as a homemade receptor of energy. It’s built with very cheap materials and with not necessary knowledge in electricity matters.


"My wireless transmitter does not use Hertzian waves, which are a grievous myth, but sound waves in the aether..."





For his epic electrical rivering, Nicola Tesla is a luminous riveron friend.
