Wholeness and the Implicate Order.
"The new form of insight can
perhaps best be called Undivided Wholeness in Flowing
Movement. . . In this flow, mind and matter are not separate
substances. Rather, they are different aspects of one whole
unbroken movement."1a*
SCRODIINGER
"There is the germ of a new
notion of order . . . This order is not to be understood
solely in terms of a regular arrangement of objects . . .
or . . . of events . . . Rather, a total order
is contained, in some implicit sense, in each region of
space and time."1b*

The Undivided
Universe.
"For several centuries,
there has been a strong feeling that nonlocal theories are not
acceptable in physics. It is well known . . . that Newton felt
very uneasy about action-at-a-distance and that Einstein
regarded it as 'spooky.'"2a
"The basic idea is to
introduce a new concept of order, which we call the implicate
order or the enfolded order."2b
MEDAWAR
"Consider a tree . . . which
grows from a seed. . . [L]ife is eternally
enfolded in matter and more deeply in the underlying
ground of a generalized holomovement as is mind and
consciousness."2c
