Once in a while, there’s a paradigm shift in science––a groundbreaking thinker appears whose ideas take accepted theory in unprecedented directions. Physicist David Bohm was such a thinker.
INFINITE POTENTIAL takes us on a mystical and scientific journey into the nature of life and reality with David Bohm, the man Einstein called his “spiritual son.” A physicist and explorer of Consciousness, Bohm looked to Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti for inspiration, and to the Dalai Lama, who has called Bohm his “science guru.”
After being shunned and dismissed by the mainstream scientific orthodoxy, Bohm turned to eastern mysticism for answers to the vexing questions that had long-plagued quantum theory. Exploring Eastern wisdom helped him develop groundbreaking insights into the profound interconnectedness of the Universe and our place within it.
During Bohm and Kirshnamurti’s 25-year-long series of far reaching conversations, they delved into the nature of space and time, human thought and consciousness. The influence of these conversations reverberates to this day. On August 29th 2020, The Fetzer Memorial Trust will be offering a special event - Krishnamurti, Bohm and the Edges of Transcendence. This special event features Paul Howard’s new film, Infinite Potential: The Life and Ideas of David Bohm, panel discussion and live Q&A.
This mystical and scientific journey into the nature of life and reality will include a post-screening panel discussion with a very special group of panelists:
Paul Howard, Film Director and Producer
David Moody, Ph.D., Author and Educator
Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., Scholar-in-Residence, Clarke Center for Human Imagination
Tim Boyd, President of the International Theosophical Society
Sandra de Castro Buffington (moderator), Founder StoryAction and UCLA’s Global Media Center for Social Impact
“What particularly aroused my interest was his deep insight into the question of the observer and the observed. This question had long been close to the center of my own work, as a theoretical physicist who was primarily interested in the meaning of the quantum theory. In this theory, for the first time in the development of physics, the notion that these two cannot be separated has been put forth as necessary for the understanding of the fundamental laws of matter in general.”
