David Bohm's idea of implicate order
holds promise for a new understanding of being, primarily because it
upholds the primacy of order as a function of relationship. As we
indicated in the last chapter, Bohm's system builds on several
fundamental ideas that include the constitutive relationality of the
universe, the relationality of being, and the endless depth of being,
what he calls unified wholeness in constant movement. Bohm indicates
that every particle is actually a manifestation of the whole and that
nothing can be understood except within the context of the whole.
When it comes to theology we must ask: What is God in relation to the
whole? If nothing can be understood apart from interactions in the
whole, how do we understand God and creation? What if we were to view
God and creation not as two orders of being but simply as a
conceptual order of being that is thoroughly interrelated?
