David Bohm's Hologram

David Bohm’s Hologram

© Grover Lawlis

Waves of energy criss-crossing,

Their convergences imprinting,

Patterns of all universes existing,

The Implicate Order enfolding.

What we know

More than we see;

Our visual spectrum so

To us invisible this Sea.

I long to envision

The Implicate Totality

The ultimate perception

Of all-convening Infinity.

David Bohm (1917-1992) was a physicist who was one of the early creator’s of the concept of quantum mechanics and a contributor to the Manhattan Project. He also studied holograms extensively and developed the holonomic model of the mind. The concept of the universe being a hologram led him to develop, along with Karl Pribram, the concept of the human mind being a part of that hologram. Many thought he deserved the Nobel Prize for his work in physics in the 1980’s, but it eluded him. It is probably the closest science has come to some scientific understanding of a Creator.

The Queer

The Queer
© Grover Lawlis

Dark quiet solitude
How in this deep night
Came to me odious attitude
That I did not invite.

Growing from a realization
A notion is nagging me
A feeling of damnation
Of something I’m doomed to be,

Or is it I’ve been told
A damnable assignation
That my heart does hold
Love of a queer orientation.

When after life-long discontent
I finally discover
It is My Creator’s intent
That a man be my lover.


This poem represents my reflections this week.
