Recordings from David Bohm seminars December 1990 in Ojai, California.

Engaging in meaningful conversation these days, does not feel nearly as comfortable as it used to be. It seems all too easy to try to say something of no particular consequence, only to find that I have annoyed or offended someone, whom I am in fact just casually trying to engage in polite conversation.

The quantum physicist David Bohm has not only done groundbreaking research in physics, but has also applied his findings to social life as a whole. He was particularly interested in how exploration of all of the individual, social, and cosmic dimensions of life could lead to a transformation of society, but less concerned with organisations and the economy. This latter aspect was pursued by people who worked with him, including Peter Garrett and William Isaacs (Macy 2018). Si
