Microcosmology : Atom with Bohm's physics and philosophy as they are based upon the experience of a pure reality which is 'that which is.'
The question is: "If pure awareness is considered distinct from the content of awareness, in what ways specifically does the latter affect the realization of the former ?" It is rather difficult to answer this question, because the mind deals in forms of limitation. Nonetheless, there is a relationship between the content of awareness and ability of the human mind to transcend itself.
To summarize, the development of Physics in the 20th century has already transformed the consciousness of those involved with it. The study of the complementarity, the Uncertainty principle, quantum field-theory, and the Copenhagen nterpretation of Quantum Mechanics produces insights into the nature of reality very similar to those produced by the study of Eastern philosophies.
If Bohm's physics, or one similar to it, should become the pain thrust of physics in the future, it is possible that physicsCurricula of the 21st century include classes in meditation.
