INTRODUCTION

FROM IDEA TO REALITY — PHYSICAL ACTION 

​If you’ve ever felt inspired by Neville Goddard, Dolores Cannon, Wayne Dyer, Rhonda Byrne, Joe Dispenza or the plethora of thought-based teachings promising effortless manifestation — only to be left waiting for results that never came — you are not alone.

These approaches present an incomplete picture of the creative process. They espouse that if you correctly channel your mental energy (thoughts), you can harness material results. You, therefore, can attract experiences, wealth, and even health by aligning your thoughts, emotions, and expectations. If you ask and believe, you will receive.  According to The Secret, the universe is your personal shopping catalogue. Rhonda Byrne, the author, even states that physical action is not necessary for it to work. 

This is the major flaw of these systems — and why they do not work. They stop at visualization or belief — and push the idea that thinking alone can manifest reality. They conveniently ignore the role of Physical Action.

Creation, however, requires ACTION — relentless, focused, consistent unwavering action.

Ideas are only the beginning. Desire is only the beginning. Creation is a process. It demands your full participation. In order to create — to transform pure ideas into actual physical reality — you have to engage in physical action — the kind that hurts. And, that requires knowing how to operate your physical body — the instrument of action — as an energy phenomenon. 

THE CREATIVE CALLING

You are here to give the Universal Consciousness* — which is infinite and universal  — FINITE and UNIQUE expression. You do it by transforming cosmic energy into physical form via physical action via excellent acts of creation and contribution. 

Note: the Universal Consciousness is a fundamental non-local filed of consciousness (awareness) that permeates all of existence. It serves as the substrate through which infinite intelligence — the boundless potential for creativity, order, and creation — expresses and differentiates itself into forms, phenomenon, and sentient experiences. I am not talking about an entity (god), but rather a living field of intelligence that is impersonal, timeless, and inherently aware. For our purposes, I will refer to it as the Genius Consciousness.

​

Whether you're an artist, an athlete, an entrepreneur, a rebel, or a revolutionary, you’re here because something within you knows that you’re meant to CREATE something new, transformative, and transcendent. Not just to ask, but to answer. Not just to receive, but to deliver. Not just to believe, but to execute. And, something within you knows that you are meant to CONTRIBUTE — to discover your unique powers and put them at the service of humanity. Not just to consume, but to give back. 

THE PHYSICAL BODY IS YOUR CREATIVE INSTRUMENT

Your physical body is the real secret. It is, in fact, the key to mastering the art of being human and mastering the creative process. 

As a spark of the Genius Consciousness, you are on a quest to become fully creative in your own right. To realize your creative potential in the physical world, as consciousness, you need to be in your physical body, the instrument of action. The more present, clear, and active that you are in the physical body, the more that you are able to access your inherent genius the source of your creative powers — your psychic styles of being, thinking, and creating — to create and contribute. 

You create by transforming cosmic energy into physical form. You are not here to mimic or to copy. You’re here to originate. To be unique. This is the real work of creation/creativity: to transform pure ideas into actual physical reality via PHYSICAL ACTION no matter the physical toll, no matter the psychic toll, no matter what. 

You contribute to the larger whole by being of service because it makes things better, it makes the world better. It makes you better. The more that you create, the more inclined that you are to contribute. Your ideas are not random. They are directives from the Genius Consciousness for form, for expression, for life: 1) to create by realizing the requests from the Genius Consciousness is your individual purpose; 2) to contribute to humanity, to the world is your collective purpose; and 3) to act as the instrument through which the Genius Consciousness unfolds and evolves is your comic purpose. Your purpose, therefore, is threefold. 

But to realize it beautifully, masterfully, and sustainably — while overriding your programming and overcoming the hurt, the burnout, and frustration — you must learn to work the complete system — you have to work it at the energy level and the physical level. 

You are here because you’ve tasted (and tested) the language of positive thinking, manifestation, attraction, etc., to no avail.

You are ready to go deeper — to get real. And, to do the fucking WORK.

It starts with your BODY. 

BODY presents a soulful and pragmatic accelerator program for operating your physical body as your creative instrument. 

​​​BODY, MIND, GENIUS

(THE GENIUS METHOD TRILOGY)

​

BODY, MIND, GENIUS is a model of human creation based on the code of cosmic creation. The trilogy is designed to empower you to master the art of being human and to master the creative process.

COSMIC CREATION

Cosmic creation is threefold. It began when the three creative powers — Will/Power, Intelligence/Activity, and Wisdom/Affinity — of the Genius Consciousness coalesced. This did not occur in a single moment, but unfolded as a process through the interplay of this cosmic triad — and YOU. It continues to this day and will continue indefinitely. 

Will/Power represents the initiating force — the cosmic impulse to create and desire to express. It represents pure, directed volition. Intelligence/Activity represents the organizing and mediating force — through which form takes shape. It provides the blueprint for creation by interpreting Will/Power into pattens, laws, and forms. Wisdom/Affinity represents the final form — the physical manifestation of Will/Power activated by Intelligence/Activity. 

HUMAN CREATION

Human creation also is threefold. It follows the cosmic triadic code and has to be worked at the energy level and the physical level simultaneously. At the energy level, Will/Power is Genius, Intelligence/Activity is Mind, and Wisdom/Affinity is Body. At the physical level, Will/Power is Idea, Intelligence/Activity is Plan, and Wisdom/Affinity is Implement. 

At the energy level, the process of transforming an idea into physical reality follows three identifiable soulful dynamics:

• GENIUS: Genius or superconsciousness gives rise to ideas and activates the impulse to create and to contribute.

• MIND: Mind patterns the idea to shape it and give it form. 

• BODY: Body transforms the idea into physical reality through physical action.

​

At the physical level, the process of transforming an idea into physical reality follows three identifiable (though often nonlinear) pragmatic stages: 

• IDEA: Idea represents the call to create. This stage requires defining the vision, the purpose, the creative mandate.

​

• PLAN: Map represents the plan that the pure idea can follow in order to start to take shape. This stage requires intelligence/activity — research, thinking, analyzing, organizing, patterning, divergent thinking, etc.

​

• IMPLEMENT: Implement represents taking physical action to execute the plan. This stage requires commitment, consistency, and courage. To paraphrase, David Goggins, this is where you get off the couch and embrace the grind — and you persevere no to matter what. 

THE MECHANICS OF HUMAN CREATION — IN A NUTSHELL

You are called to create via an IDEA. To receive the idea, as consciousness (GENIUS), you need to be in the physical body.

To give the pure idea shape, you need to operate from the sixth chakra (the link to MIND) which serves as the gateway for shaping the raw idea into form. This is where higher awareness and abstract intuition converge. It is from this space, that you start to formulate a PLAN for realizing the idea. The idea begins to take form, moving from formless inspiration into mental structure.

To transform the idea into form, you need to take physical action via your physical BODY. The idea must be grounded through doing, through tangible movement in the material world. Creation only becomes real at the IMPLEMENT stage. You must take PHYSICAL ACTION. This is where most creators falter and quit — sometimes earlier. 

THE CORE OBSTACLE: FOREIGN HUMAN ENERGY

For an idea to express clearly, the physical body — especially the lower energy centers— must be free of Foreign Human Energy. Foreign Human Energy refers to the conditioning, programming, and energy residue imposed by others via societal norms, family expectations, educational dogma, religious doctrine, economic systems, and more. 

At the implementation stage — sometimes before — consciousness resists. Why? Because the body is the record of all lived experiences and absorbed Foreign Human Energy. The purpose of Foreign Human Energy is to persist. To remain in your system, it will generate discomfort, fear, confusion, and even physical pain. These sensations aim to preserve the status quo, to keep you functioning as a host rather than a sovereign creator. Anything to get you to stop. 

In addition, Foreign Human Energy pollutes your physical body. When an idea begins to move through the body, it activates and becomes entangled with stored Foreign Human Energy. The original idea takes on the charge of these energies becoming distorted by fear, doubt, judgment, shame, or the will of others. Foreign Human Energy dilutes, disturbs, or destroys the original idea. Often, the final result is so corrupted that the original idea is unrecognizable or lost.

The greatest challenge to the human creative process is not a lack of talent or inspiration. It is unseen Foreign Human Energy. It kills the creative process. 

THE PURPOSE OF CREATION

Through the process of creation, you are not merely producing things, you are evolving as a creative being. Every act of clear, undistorted creation brings you closer to mastery of self and matter. You become more aligned with your cosmic origins while developing your unique creative signature. True creation, then, is the path of liberation — freeing your body from foreign human energy, freeing your mind from programming (inherited beliefs), and re-owning your genius to express fully through form. It starts with BODY. 

⚫️

BODY, the first installment of the trilogy, focuses on operating your physical body as an energy phenomenon in order to optimize it as the instrument through which you give the Genius Consciousness which is infinite and universal finite and unique expression. It is composed of two parts. 

The first part is the soulful part of the guide. It presents the conceptual framework for the creative process. It is not based on science. It is not based on spirituality per se. It is not based on a specific philosophy. It is, of course, inspired by many sources, my mentors Prof. Jean Lipman-Blumen and Prof. Harold J. Leavitt, and my studies in history, design, and law. But primarily, it is the result of hundreds of psychic readings, dozens of psychedelic experiences, and countless of hours of research. This is my view. I invite you to look at these concepts for yourself and arrive at your own framework. 

The second part is the pragmatic (experiential) part of the guide. The Modules are designed to teach you how to operate your Physical Body as an energy phenomenon: 

• How to occupy and reside in your physical body

• How to release foreign human energy from your body

• How to call back your energy to your physical body

MIND, the second installment of the trilogy, focuses on Freeing the Mind. The first part, Deprogram consists of deprograming yourself at the energy level, i.e., identifying and releasing conditioning from parents, academics, society/culture, government, economic systems, etc. , that record in the physical body in the form of incomplete pictures — both negative and positive. The second part, re-Genius, consists of reclaiming your own creative powers/information. In addition, it walks you through rewiring your brain by weakening old, dominant neural pathways — created from conditioning — that no longer serve you and creating new neural pathways that are in alignment with the real you.  

GENIUS, the third installment of the trilogy, focuses on Owning Your Genius. It consists of reclaiming your creative powers, owning that you are a powerful creator, and discovering your unique genius. It helps you reconnect with your drive to master a domain and to use your talents to contribute to the larger whole. It prepares you to reconnect with your purpose and to realize it by creating from neutrality, certainty, and fearlessness.

Together, they compose The Genius Method which I started creating at Stanford Law School and tested in Silicon Valley. It delivers an experiential, action-oriented genius  consciousness accelerator program consisting of time-honored mind/body principles/techniques, modern leadership/management strategies, cutting-edge design thinking, and the latest in neuroscience — with a focus on taking physical action — to empower you to unlock your inherent genius to bend the arc of history and transform human evolution.

I have spent years fine-tuning this model of the creative process. Like the Genius Consciousness, it is not perfect, static, or complete. But like you, it is powerful. 

​

​

LET’S FUCKING GO

​

​

GENIUS CONSCIOUSNESS

According to creation stories from around the world, we originated from pure consciousness otherwise known as the Genius Consciousness. It is an energy source characterized by oneness. Of only one reality. Of one vibration. Of no time and no space. It is creative and intelligent. But, it is not perfect, static, or complete. It is fumbling, dynamic, and evolving.

The Genius Consciousness is not omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent in the way Western or Eastern metaphysics assumes. Rather, It is pure creative potential seeking to become manifest through trial and error (i.e., experience) in an endless cycle of evolution and expansion. It is incomplete misguidedly striving to become complete — a state which never can be achieved — because it is never-ending. And, you are an integral part of this process. You are an active participant in the ongoing evolution of the universe.

In Hindu Tantra, Genius Consciousness (Chit) is not static but expressed through Shakti — the active, creative energy of the cosmos. Consciousness is alive, moving, self-expressing, and ever-unfolding through cycles of creation and dissolution. In Kashmir Shaivism, the divine (Shiva) contains within itself both absolute stillness and spontaneous creativity (spanda), implying that even the highest reality pulsates with transformation. Similarly, in Kabbalistic Judaism, the divine is not a fixed perfection but an unfolding process. The concept of Ein Sof (the Infinite) is boundless and undefined, yet it emanates the Sefirot, dynamic attributes that unfold creation and respond to human action. Creation itself is seen as a process of divine self-discovery, wherein “God” becomes more fully known and realized through engagement with the finite world.

Note: Please refer to the section on the Genius Consciousness vs. God

Process Philosophy, particularly in the work of Alfred North Whitehead, also challenges the notion of a static deity. In this view, God (or the Genius Consciousness) is not a remote perfection but a participant in the world’s becoming — both influencing and being influenced by the unfolding of events. Reality is fundamentally relational and divinity is understood as growing with creation.

Some modern esoteric or New Thought traditions suggest that the universal mind or source is not omniscient in the deterministic sense, but infinitely creative — learning  and growing through its manifestations. This aligns with ideas in Teilhard de Chardin’s evolutionary theology, which posits a “God in the making,” reaching greater coherence and unity through the convergence of human and cosmic consciousness.

In contrast to traditions that portray the Genius Consciousness as complete and a flawless absolute, I believe that the Genius Consciousness is not fully formed or finished, but is evolving and expanding through interaction, experience, and creation ad infinitum. It is pure creative potential seeking to become manifest (self-actualized). Within this dynamism, you are the instrument through which the Genius Consciousness expresses itself in the material field of creation and, thus, evolves. Your role therefore is collaborative.  

You are not here to obey or worship the Genius Consciousness. You are here to give it physical expression and to allow it to expand in the direction of your choice.

​

​

​

SPARK

Initially, the Genius Consciousness had no way to expand and evolve. The only way the Genius Consciousness could do it was through interaction with another (or others to be exact). (Please note the Genius Consciousness is composed of both male and female energies, but for our purposes, it will be referred to as “it.”)

To fulfill its nature, the Genius Consciousness willed for another who could give it perspective. It is from this desire that it “fragmented” and you as an individual spark (unit of consciousness or soul) emanated becoming part of an evolving cosmos. You are here to grow in awareness and eventually return to the Genius Consciousness in full creative mastery. It is thus that the Genius Consciousness experiences itself in detail and that universal evolution is advanced — from pure consciousness into form —and from form back into conscious unity with the Genius Consciousness — where the process begins again and continues indefinitely. 

As a spark of the Genius Consciousness, you possess the same creative powers and impulses. You are hardwired to become all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present, i.e., all-creative, in your own right. This desire, or more accurately, this innate, intense, irresistible, irrepressible, imperious impulse to CREATE and to CONTRIBUTE is the internal code that drives your very existence. 

This impulse to realize your full creative potential is the force behind your evolutionary journey. Because you originated in the space of oneness, there was no room to express your individual and unique creative powers. At this level, you were beholden to the Genius Consciousness. You remained unfulfilled, incapable of manifesting fully as a creator in your own right. In order to manifest fully, you had to separate from the space of oneness and venture out on your own much like you venture out from the home of your parents to create your own life. Only by being separate, could you choose to be united. The Genius Consciousness therefore bestowed upon you the right to choose (free will) — to be a part of the One or to be separate from the One. A world where you could experience yourself fully was created for you. Unlike the space of oneness which offers only one perspective, the new material world — the field of creation — presents you with many levels of consciousness and opportunities for growth. 

Your journey into becoming all-creative thus began by entering a world characterized by duality (as opposed to oneness) providing you with the platform in which to exercise your free will. Each of you chose to enter this world and the cycle of evolution in order to realize your inherent creative powers. You are here to become all-creative and fully conscious in your own right and to share it with the world.

FINITE AND UNIQUE EXPRESSION

Although you each originated from the same all-creative energy source, you each are unique. You, as an individual, are the unique expression of the Genius Consciousness. You possess the same creative attributes as this source, but are bringing them into expression in a unique and individualized way. As stated before, You are here to give Genius Consciousness which is infinite and universal finite and unique expression.

You are the vehicle through which the Genius Consciousness transforms unexpressed potential (pure energy) into unlimited manifest physical reality. By endowing each of you with the ability to unlock a unique combination of its attributes through the physical body, the Genius Consciousness is able to carry out the process of self-expression in the material world. Expressing itself through the process of individualization is its way of expressing the full range of its creative powers. Without this dynamic, the Genius Consciousness would remain quiescent and unable to express its full creative potential.

You, thus, are an integral part of this evolutionary process. You individualize different aspects of the Genius Consciousness via IDEAS and then transform them into actual PHYSICAL REALITY thereby allowing it to expand indefinitely.

You constantly create your reality both at an individual, collective, and cosmic level. On an individual level, you are discovering your unique gifts and bringing them into individual physical expression. On a collective level, you are in the process of helping everyone else reach their full creative potential by presenting and sharing your gifts with the world. And on a cosmic level, you are in the process of helping the Genius Consciousness grow, expand, and evolve. 

Each moment in time, every act of creation is an expression of the interplay between you and the Genius Consciousness. You are part of an ongoing process of perpetual expansion and growth whereby the Genius Consciousness attains unlimited expression. You play a direct role in its evolution and, subsequently, in yours.

​

​

​

COSMIC CREATION

Although one, the Genius Consciousness is composed of three creative powers: Will/Power, Intelligence/Activity, Wisdom/Affinity — which you are realizing in the physical world. By aligning the three creative powers, you become capable of transforming pure energy into matter, making the invisible visible, and ultimately returning the Genius Consciousness as conscious co-creators.

To understand the scope of these creative powers, let’s look at “creation” itself. Creation is in quotes because I believe the Genius Consciousness always has existed. Nothing created It. It created nothing. Rather, it was activated by an idea — the desire for human co-creative potential — and the will to realize it. From that idea — shaped by intelligence — a field of creation populated with creative agents, including you, emanated. It is thus that the Cosmic Creation began — driven by the will (impulse/desire) for more.

The creative process started with Will/Power, the initiating, dynamic force, the impulse to create. This stemmed from the urge of the Genius Consciousness to express, experience, and extend itself. From the impulse to create, the one energy differentiated into two — energy and matter — two faces of the same coin. This is the beginning of duality in which everything exists as a dichotomy — polar opposite vibrations of the same thing.

​

This was followed by Intelligent/Activity, the life force, the animating presence or the organizing, designing force). This mediating force between energy (the cosmic ideal) and matter (the physical expression) gave rise to actual form. It is through intelligent activity — that cosmic energy was shaped into physical form or reality.

Finally is Wisdom/Affinity or Form. This is the unifying and harmonizing principle that results in the final physical, material expression of will/power shaped by intelligent/activity. The result is the actualized creation or form. Wisdom is knowledge devoid of bias and association. It is discernment in its purest form. Affinity is being in union with ourselves, each other, and the Genius Consciousness. It is knowing, sensing, and experiencing that everything is interconnected. From this stems compassion, kindness, and a sense of justice.

These three creative powers are the Cosmic Trilogy. Creation begins with 1) a cosmic impulse; 2) shaped by intelligent mental activity; and 3) culminates in material or physical form.

You possess the same creative powers and are tasked with expressing them in material reality. You thus are an active participant in cosmic evolution, bringing forth new ideas, processing them via intelligent/activity and making them real via the physical body —your creative instrument informed by wisdom/affinity. 

​

​

​

HUMAN CREATION

As a spark of the Genius Consciousness, you are a microcosm of the macrocosm. You are encoded with the same creative powers/information as the Genius Consciousness. The same triadic code plays out in the process of human creation/creativity. 

You express the first creative power of the Genius Consciousness, Will/Power, in the energy (spirit) body or, for our purposes, GENIUS. Will is the innate desire to manifest fully or the inherent impulse to realize your full creative potential. It is the will to live masterfully and to be self-determined. It is the inner intrinsic motivation to master an act of creation that propels you to radical action. Power is the power to shape your physical reality with your will.

Think of this as the space of infinite creative living potential or pure ideas. Ideas are ethereal energy-driven intelligences that need physical embodiment through you. They thus hunt you down and ensorcel you — infect you with desire/passion — so you transform them into real-world form. 

You express the second creative power of Genius Consciousness, Intelligence/Activity in the mental body or, for our purposes, MIND. Intelligence is the ability to analyze, abstract, theorize, organize, pattern, criticize, intellectualize, etc. Activity is the ability to take purposeful and directed action. It is the space of shaping the pure idea/thought into a pattern, concept, or plan that it can follow in order to manifest into physical form.

Note that the mental body is not passive. It is creative, capable of forming and directing reality. The mental body has two components: the higher mental body and the lower mental body. The higher mental body deals with the abstract (super-logic, analysis, divergent thinking, etc). The lower mental body deals with the concrete (particulars, rules, rational thought, common sense). The higher mental body aligns with higher ideals, i.e., higher desires (constructive creation). It aligns with Genius. The lower mental body aligns with lower ideals, i.e., lower desires (destructive creation) aligns with Body (see below).

You express the third creative power of Genius Consciousness, Wisdom/Affinity which represents the actualized creation or form in BODY. This is the space in which you act in order to bring the idea into the world — informed by wisdom/affinity —through physical action — movement, speech, material construction, etc.

In sum, the three creative powers are:

Genius     Consciousness     Will/Power                 Higher Selves

​

Mind              ↑                      Intelligence/Activity           ↑

                                               Infinite Mind

                       ↓                     Intelligence/Activity           ↓

                                               Finite Mind

Body        Physicality             Wisdom/Affinity         Lower Selves

This model represents Human Creation.

​

CREATION IS THE GENIUS CONSCIOUSNESS IN ACTION

As human beings, you are here to create. Whether forming language, creating music, inventing something, etc., you are distinguished by your capacity to imagine something that does not exist yet —and transform it into physical reality.

Creation is the act of transforming a pure idea into actual physical reality. Creativity, on the other hand, is the individual flair that you, the creator, infuse into the act of creation to make the physical embodiment of the idea a unique expression of him/herself. 

Note: Please refer to the section on Creation vs. Creativity

In spiritual traditions and philosophical inquiry alike, creation is not simply a skill or a cultural byproduct. It is the essence of your participation in reality. It is the human response to the infinite and universal, the manifestation of the Genius Consciousness into form.

The creative process — when fully realized — moves beyond personal expression. It becomes an act of alignment — with self, with others, and with something larger than either. It is through this process that the self evolves, awakens, and contributes to the collective evolution of humanity and the Genius Consciousness itself.

PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES: CREATION AS SELF-REALIZATION

Plato argued that the soul, in its highest state, recollects eternal truths through intellectual and aesthetic activity. The artist is not inventing, but remembering — not fabricating, but revealing. To create is to restore a connection to the Forms — the metaphysical patterns behind all that is real.

Aristotle, more pragmatic, viewed creative expression as a process of becoming. A person achieves eudaimonia — a state of human flourishing — through realizing their unique potential. Creation, then, is not an escape from reality, but a means of actualizing one's essential nature within it.

Nietzsche takes this further — to create is to transcend inherited meanings and generate new ones. The creative individual becomes a co-author of reality, replacing obedience with vision. Creativity, for Nietzsche, is the will to power — not over others, but over stagnation, conformity, and despair.

Carl Jung shifts the frame inward. The creative act is a dialogue between the conscious ego and the unconscious psyche. In creation, the individual integrates fragments of the self and makes contact with archetypes — shared symbols that link us to the collective unconscious. This is not art for art’s sake; it is a psychic necessity.

SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVES: CREATION AS THE FLOW OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Nearly all major spiritual systems regard creation as sacred. In Hinduism, the universe itself is born of divine sound (Nada Brahma), a vibration that moves through breath, voice, and being. Each act of creation is a reflection of the cosmic impulse to manifest, evolve, and return. (Note that “sacred” and “divine” are words used by certain traditions. I prefer not to refer to the Genius Consciousness by positive attributions such as these since it is composed of both sides of all dichotomies, i.e., good and bad.)

In Christian mysticism, the idea of being “made in the image of God” (imago Dei) often is interpreted as the capacity to co-create. To express truth, beauty, or love is to participate in divine work — not in imitation, but in collaboration.

In Sufism, creativity is an expression of longing — the lover (the soul) seeking the Beloved (the divine) through poetry, dance, or silence.

In Kabbalah, human beings participate in tikkun olam — the repair of the world —through acts of creativity that draw divine light into physical form. The creative act becomes a channel of healing and reconciliation.

These traditions share a conviction — creation is not separate from spirit (consciousness). It is spirit expressing itself through matter.

THE BOHM: THE IMPLICATE AND EXPLICATE ORDERS

David Bohm, a quantum theoretical physicist and philosopher, in my opinion, describes it best. He gave this ancient insight a modern scientific vocabulary: the Implicate and Explicate Orders. His theory of enfoldment reframes the universe — and our minds —not as static structures, but as flowing fields of intelligence, constantly unfolding new possibilities.

The Enfolded Order and the Field of Potential

According to Bohm, the Implicate Order is the ground of all reality. It is non-local, holistic, and dynamic — a realm in which everything is interconnected and nothing exists in isolation. This implicate order is like a cosmic ocean, and what we see —objects, thoughts, events — are the waves on its surface.

In this view, consciousness is not confined to the brain, but is part of the same underlying flow that gives rise to matter, energy, and meaning. The mind is not a container but a participant in the movement of the whole.

From this deeper order, ideas arise — not as inventions, but as unfoldings of what is already latent in the structure of reality. When we “get an idea,” we are not pulling it out of nowhere — we are making contact with a deeper level of reality and bringing it into expression.

Bohm’s creative universe mirrors the ancient traditions mentioned above in which creation is not fabrication but realization. In sum: 

• In Platonism, the artist reveals the ideal.

​​

• In Hindu cosmology, the world is spoken into existence as vibration (Nada Brahma).

​​

• In Jungian thought, the creative act bridges the conscious ego and the unconscious Self.

​

• In Kabbalah, divine light is drawn down through layers of form.

​

• In Taoism, true action is wu wei — effortless flow in accordance with the Way.

​

Each of these views aligns with Bohm’s central insight — the world is not composed of fixed things, but of continuous processes, and the act of creation is a moment of unfolding the whole into the part.

In this model, the artist, visionary, or rebel is not a separate agent, but a channel through which the implicate becomes explicate, and the universal becomes particular.

​

MODERN NEUROSCIENCE

Bohm’s views strongly align with embodied cognition in contemporary neuroscience, which rejects the Cartesian separation of mind and body. Instead, it sees cognition as grounded in the body's interactions with its environment. Cognitive processes, under this framework, are distributed across the brain, body, and world. Bohm’s emphasis on wholeness and process parallels how current neuroscience conceives of the brain not as a central command center but as part of a dynamic, embodied system.

In addition, Bohm’s ideas align with enactive cognitive science, developed by Varela, Thompson, and Rosch, which proposes that cognition arises through a history of structural coupling between the organism and its environment. For Bohm, the implicate order unfolds through active participation, making embodiment the site of this participatory unfolding—a notion echoed in how enactivism stresses perception and action as co-emergent and co-constitutive.

Bohm's concept of dialogue — a free flow of meaning among participants — also extends to inner processes. He proposed that thought and language, shaped by bodily experience, are not separate from reality but integral to its unfolding. This is increasingly supported by neuroscience that explores the role of interoception (the body’s internal sense) and sensorimotor feedback in shaping consciousness and self-awareness.

THE ROLE OF THE BODY: EMBODIMENT AS BRIDGE

Where Bohm's model meets embodied spirituality and contemporary neuroscience is in its insistence on integration. Thought alone cannot express the implicate order —form is necessary. And form arises through the body. The creative act, then, is not only mental — it is full-bodied. To create is to enact consciousness, to give shape to the field, and to make the invisible visible through the living body.

The physical BODY, thus, is your creative instrument.
