"If we think of the totality as constituted of independent fragments, then that is how our minds will tend to operate, but if we can include everything, coherently and harmoniously in one overall whole that is undivided, unbroken….then our minds will tend to move in a similar way, and from this will flow an orderly action within the whole." David Bohm, 'Wholeness and The Implicate Order'
