528 STRIPPING THE GURUS
For the sake of completeness, and because Wilber (1982) has
mentioned its existence, Bohm had this to say about the supersuper-implicate
order:
[A] little reflection shows that the whole idea of implicate order
could be extended in a natural way. For if there are two
levels of implicate order, why should there not be more?
Thus if we regard the super-implicate order as the second
level, then we might consider a third level which was related
to the second as the second is to the first. That is to say, the
third implicate order would organize the second which would
thereby become non-linear. (For example there might be a
tendency for the whole quantum state to collapse into something
more definite) (Bohm and Hiley, 1993).
One would reasonably regard the keeping-open of those possibilities
as more of a logical and open-minded position than an
“awkward” one.
Note further that there is no correlation between Bohm’s “implication
parameter” and the level of implicate order. That is, a
greater degree of dispersion of the ink-drop in the first implicate
order does not equate, even by analogy, to the super-implicate or
higher-level orders. If we were looking for a level which organizes
the implicate order in the ink-drop analogy, one loose option would
be the person turning the handle on the glycerine-filled device.
In any case, the super-implicate order itself, as Bohm explicitly
noted, does not require “any further assumptions beyond what
is implied in physics today.” That is, contrary to Wilber’s misled
claims, it most certainly is “based on empirical findings in physics.”
3. THE HOLOGRAPHIC NATURE OF (PHYSICAL)
REALITY
As Bohm noted in Wilber (1982):
[A]ny form of movement could constitute a hologram, movements
known or unknown [i.e., even beyond mere physical
vibrations] and we will consider an undefined totality of
movement, called the holomovement and say: the holomovement
is the ground of what is manifest.
As such, Bohm’s holomovement includes all possible implicate
orders, not only his first implicate order.
