Absolutely brilliant thank you. You have captured what is necessary for us to understand how the Universe works. All the great artists and scientists tap into this universal information source. Jung referred to it as a collective consciousness. I am extremely familiar with it.

David Bohm the great physicist understood it perfectly. The theory of the Implicate Order contains an ultraholistic cosmic view; it connects everything with everything else. In principle, any individual element could reveal "detailed information about every other element in the universe." The central underlying theme of Bohm's theory is the "unbroken wholeness of the totality of existence as an undivided flowing movement without borders." How wonderful is that! I am a great scholar of Bohm and many others like him.

The theme of implicate order is explored in my fifth book (the most esoteric and not really related to the story that threads through the other four novels). Novelists have a particular challenge - using the format of the novel to express ideas like these within the framework of immersive characters and plot.

I'll end with Michio Kaku's brilliant quote from his book the God Equation which I loved. He says “the key feature of any theory of everything is likely to be its symmetry. But where does this symmetry come from? This symmetry would be a by-product of deep mathematical truths. But where does mathematics come from. On this question, the theory of everything is again silent. The universe is a remarkably beautiful, ordered, and simple place. I find it utterly staggering that all the known laws of the physical universe can be summarized on a single sheet of paper. Given the brevity of this sheet of paper, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that this was all planned in advance, that its elegant design shows the hand of a cosmic designer. To me, this is the strongest argument for the existence of God."
