Thought and non-thought are indivisible. At no stage can we properly say that the overall process of thought begins or ends. 6 Only a view of knowledge as an integral part of the total flux of process may lead generally to a more harmonious and orderly approach to life. Even though Positivists such as Neils Bohr tried to come to grips with some of this in a limited domain, their vision remains of separable and static knowledge, not knowledge itself embedded in undivided wholeness and flowing movement. Here is a subtle perceptual shift of profound importance.
Language puts too much emphasis on the noun.
Just by considering this possibility we observe how our ordinary language structure pressures us into a fragmentary world view overly receptive to Positivism. Relativity theory destroyed the concepts of rigid bodies and point-particles. Events and processes must supersede them as primary concepts. Neils Bohr, even though he rejected an ontological interpretation of quantum theory, epitomized one of these foundations by declaring in his metaphysical discussions the indivisibility of the quantum of action. The Implicate order, from which these entities unfold, is primary.
