We live in a syncretic and integrative age. It is an era of the crossfertilization of metaphors from discipline to displine. Metaphors facilitate the expression of essential likeness or similarity of meaning between two domains.
Language grows and expands meaning by means of metaphors.
It seems to me that nuclear Physics phenomena leud themselves especially well as metaphors for the human psyche of our age. The foundation and fundamental feature of Bohm's cosmology is the claim that reality is one, an unbroken, undivided wholeness which is the background for everything in the universe, underlying both matter and consciousness, providing the raw material for all manifest entities and events, begetting, sustaining, and governing everything by its enduring connection with it in the deep-structure of the whole. This nonmanifest matrix Bohm terms the enfolded or implicate order. This latter lies beyond language, and we can at best refer to it in metaphors. Among these is the idea of order, which, by definition prevails in the spiritual energy active in the depths of the holomovement.
