David Bohm on perception

This is an excerpt from a one hour conversation I had with Professor Bohm. I am considering making the whole of it available in DVD format with an accompanying copy of the text in booklet form. Those interested can contact me.

a form of "jnana Yoga' - approaching 'truth' through the mind...
it's one way...
what about a full approach?
include the heart , the body, the emotions?
a
'Full' approach
just because our current (un)Civlization worships the 'mind' doesn't mean it's balanced

Well there is a conversation between Jiddu krishnamurti and David Bohm on youtube which elaborates on the total perception, or the full approach as you verbalize it.

I think they were talking in terms of the thinking brain as the over dominant part and the mind as the whole: so emotions and feelings are part of the mind, not just the thinking brain, which forms ideas and theories. In that light, ideas are seen as the warping factor, distorting reality.

As far as I've come to understand science is not really concerned with truth so much as functional truth and not so much knowledge so much as functional knowledge. what we do with that functional knowledge/truth has to do with the "full approach," which lies in philosophy.

Its kind of hard for me to understand his English.
So much in it anyway!!!
I will wach it as many times as I need.

we can never get a hold of real knowledge through mind, but the experiencer is real.

Indeed
