Entering Bohm’s Holoflux<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Sundays in October \u00a0– 4, 11, 18, 25 \u00a0– 2020<\/strong>
10:00 am PST, 7:00 pm CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Sunday session will be followed by a one-hour Wednesday discussion group
11:00 am PST, 8:00 pm CEST.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An experiential, experimental approach to David Bohm\u2019s holoflux<\/em>: the flowing movement of all that is, the ground of our being, the mysterious domain in which mind, matter, and meaning are an organic whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bohm proposed\u00a0that human beings hold the potential to manifest the\u00a0holoflux as living reality. What access points might we already have to this potential? What aspects of our personal and cultural lives thwart this access? Through presentation and extensive participant interaction, these questions will guide our inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday October 4:\u00a0 The Enfolding\/Unfolding Human<\/strong>
Our contemporary identity\u2014the self-image\u2014follows a pattern of \u2018enfolding\u2019 and \u2018unfolding\u2019 that we find articulated throughout Bohm\u2019s cosmos. But this self-image filters out the deep, living currents of the holoflux, in favour of enfolding recycled thought patterns, values, and images. Bohm often referred to the bright lights of Las Vegas, which blot out the light of the stars: \u2018When you turn off the electric lights, then the universe comes through.\u2019 Can we move through this analogy, and into the living cosmos it points to? This holds the key to what Bohm referred to as true individuality<\/em>\u2014the undivided human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday October 11: Thought as a System & the Pain Body<\/strong>
We will examine the manner in which awareness, thinking, and feeling deteriorate into \u2018thoughting\u2019 and \u2018felting.\u2019 This process permeates our individual lives, as well as collective global culture, and is at the root of reflexive defensiveness and isolation. The result is what has been called the \u2018pain body,\u2019 a uniquely apt term for our modern condition. We will inquire into the various manifestations of the pain body, and how this blockage to the deep currents of the holoflux might be undone. We will explore how interoception<\/em>\u2014our interpretation of the sensations within our bodies\u2014can help us understand the grip and extent of the thoughting\/felting vortex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday October 18: Liberating the Explicate Order & and the Prospect of Dialogue<\/strong>
If we can release somewhat the impulses of thoughting, felting, and the pain body, we can begin to sense untapped aspects of consciousness that are innately in motion<\/em>, rather than fixed and rigid. As inner rigidities dissolve, this is reflected in the \u2018outer\u2019 world. It is this affinity for movement that allows us to sense and engage in a new way with the explicate order\u2014the world of cars, rivers, people, stars. Such \u2018liberating\u2019 of the explicate order is central to deep engagement in dialogue\u2014when multiple participants allow the flux and flow of assumptions and presuppositions, we find the seeds of a new level of participatory consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday October 25: Flux & Transformation<\/strong>
For 40,000 years or more, indigenous people have been attuned to what David Bohm referred to as the holoflux, and its attendant implicate orders. Our guest Leroy Little Bear (Blackfoot) will discuss how these perceptions relate to the fixities and rigidities of the modern world. Can our categories of \u2018reality\u2019 become fluid? More deeply, can fluid, evolving categories\u2014our framings of reality\u2014help us align with the movements of the holoflux? Is such activity itself the expression of the holoflux, manifesting in human beings? Are we willing to entertain the prospect of perpetual transformations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
