How are we to understand this fact of experience in terms of the implicate order?
Quite generally, then, the implicate order has to be extended into a multidimensional reality.
As pointed out earlier, each moment is experienced directly in the implicate order.
The analogy of such enfoldment and unfoldment to the implicate order introduced in connection with the hologram is quite good.
Here we mean not just the content ofthought for which we have already begun to use the implicate order.
In terms of the implicate order, we may say that even inanimate matter maintains itself in a continual process similar to the growth of plants.
Rather, we also mean that the actual structure,function and activity of thought is in the implicate order.
The next stage may well lead to yet further enrichment andextension of the notion of implicate order, beyond the critical limit of 10- 33 cm mentioned above;
Or it may lead to some basically new notions which could not becomprehended even within the possible further developments of the implicate order.
This is how theories arise as the implicate order of David Bohm showing a new relationship between science and spirituality framed within a holistic vision of the world.
So we have here an example of how, as stated in section 2, an explicate order is aparticular case of a more general set of implicate orders.
We now propose that not only isimmediate experience best understood in terms of the implicate order, but that thought also is basically to be comprehended in this order. .
To do this we shall begin by considering once again the device discussed in chapter 6, which served as an analogy,illustrating certain essential features of the implicate order.
Our proposal to start with the implicate order as basic, then, means that what is primary, independently existent,and universal has to be expressed in terms of the implicate order.
Of course, actual movement involves more than the mere immediate intuitive sense of unbroken flow,which is our mode of directly experiencing the implicate order.
We call this an intrinsically implicate order, to distinguish it from an order that may be enfolded but which can unfold all at once into a single explicate order. .
Not only in this respect but, as we have seen, also in a wide range of other important respects,consciousness and matter in general are basically the same order(i.e., the implicate order as a whole).
What has been said thus far indicates that the implicate order gives generally a much more coherent account of the quantum properties of matter than does the traditional mechanistic order. .
All of this suggests that quite generally(and not merely for the special case of listening to music), there is a basicsimilarity between the order of our immediate experience of movement and the implicate order as expressed in terms of our thought.
We shall now show how the notions of implicate order that we have developed in connection with consciousness may be related to those concerning matter, to make possible an understanding of how both may have a common ground.
The question that arises here, then, is that of whether or not(as was in a certain sense anticipated by Descartes) the actual‘substance' of consciousnesscan be understood in terms of the notion that the implicate order is also its primary and immediate actuality.
This sea is to be understood in terms of a multidimensional implicate order, along the lines sketched in section 4, while the entire universe of matter as we generally observe it is to be treated as a comparatively small pattern of excitation.
Each of these is then only a relatively independent sub-totality and it is implied that this relative independence derives from the higher-dimensional ground in which mind and body are ultimately one(rather as we find that the relativeindependence of the manifest order derives from the ground of the implicate order).
As happens with the simpler forms of the implicate order considered earlier, the state of movement at one moment unfolds through a more inward force of necessity inherent in this overall state of affairs, to give rise to a new state of affairs in the next moment.
In this chapter, we have, however, shown in some detail that matter as a wholecan be understood in terms of the notion that the implicate order is the immediate and primary actuality(while the explicate order can be derived as a particular, distinguished case of the implicate order).
We now recall that the laws of the implicate order are such that there is a relatively independent, recurrent, stable subtotality which constitutes the explicate order, and which, of course, is basically the order that we commonly contact in common experience(extended in certain ways by our scientific instruments).
It seems clear from the discussion in the previous chapter that the implicate order is particularly suitable for the understanding of such unbroken wholeness in flowing movement, for in the implicate order the totality of existence is enfolded within each region of space(and time).
One reason why wedo not generally notice the primacy of the implicate order is that we have become so habituated to the explicate order, and have emphasized it so much in our thought and language, that we tend strongly to feel that our primary experience is of that which is explicate and manifest.
