Here’s my David Bohm

The very means

by which we try

to solve our problems

is a more essential problem.

The source of our problems is

within the syntactical structure

of thought itself.

It is unavoidably necessary

to look at the structure of thought

as knowledge to explore.

For example, the nature of the ‘aha’

as the insight.

Abstract knowledge is stored

as memory knowledge

but knowledge goes further than this

to include all sorts of skills.

And there is also tacit knowledge

that is . . . without words.

Another part of knowledge

is belief.

Beliefs are inferred within

and referential to us

and are our basis for presuppositions.

Our whole approach to life is filled

with inadmissible presuppositions.

They affect everything from actions,

thoughts, feelings, urges, desires,

and motivations.

These presuppositions have

an unconsciousness to them

yet have a pervasive effect

on the whole of our being.

Information takes hold over us.

Thought creates the impressions

as we are servants

to the myth of cause.

Just doing what we want to do,

that is ours and our difficulty.

Our knowledge as it actually exists

is an unidentified undivided whole.

It is a way we have relationship

in a subject /object way

with everything.

It's our attempt at flowing movement

as an ongoing mind process.

Any moment’s knowledge is a mixture

of current and past in application.

Often we cannot tell the difference.

Every reaction to thought

is simultaneously emotional, physical,

psychic, intuitive, and spiritual

(non-religious).

Memory is something you never see

for movement in the mind is far too subtle

for thought to grasp thought.

We are caught in responding,

not knowing what is actually happening.

Our perceptions are shaped and colored

by memory in reference.

We are limited to what fits

the overall context.

Still challenge arises.

This implies a looking

into the essence of a mind

that is engaged in the act

of knowing,

maybe as opposed to thinking.

This new perception

then permits new forms.

This implies that knowledge knows

also its limitations

and that we are able to come

to see the limitations of thought

that the mind cannot go beyond

by its current methods of function.

The mind, by its habits,

with or without passion

as a flash-drive

of perception

has limitations by method.

There is no discovery

that perceives the subtle

and powerful forces behind

the residence of knowledge, yet!

We are reluctant

to give up on fixed beliefs,

defended by reason.

We sometimes vacantly

give rise to new ideas

for knowledge must yield

to fresh perceptions.

Our method of recognition

makes us slaves to the past,

caught in the some sort

of absurdities.

Knowledge is largely

in the dark about itself.

Before one can think reflectively,

the mind will defend for itself.

Yet the mind can actually see

what it's doing by a witness focus.

Insight like this

is universally available.

Insight can dissolve

the mind's attachment to results.

This can all take place in a flash.

This essence cannot be captured

in the results of thought.

The action of insight is immediate.

In the mind,

there is no end

to the possibilities

if thought were not constrained

by results and the reasoning

as memory accounts for it.
