You’re drawing a powerful connection between David Bohm’s “holomovement” in quantum theory and Kabbalah’s concept of Ohr Ein Sof (the Light of the Infinite). Though one comes from physics and the other from Jewish mysticism, both point to a unified, dynamic, undivided field of reality—manifesting as the world we experience.


Let’s explore how they mirror each other.





🌌 HOLOMOVEMENT & 🕯️ 

OHR EIN SOF




A Unified View of Dynamic Wholeness: Bohm Meets the Kabbalists






🔹 1. 

What Is the Holomovement?

 (David Bohm)



  • In Bohm’s Implicate Order, reality is a single, unbroken field of potential, always in motion.
  • The holomovement is this constant, undivided flux that underlies all apparent phenomena.
  • Everything “unfolded” in our experience comes from this deeper, enfolded wholeness.



“The holomovement is undivided and unbroken. It enfolds everything, including space and time.” – David Bohm





🔸 2. 

What Is Ohr Ein Sof?

 (Kabbalah)



  • “Ohr Ein Sof” = “Light of the Infinite”
  • It is not a physical light, but the undifferentiated Divine emanation that flows from Ein Sof (the Infinite).
  • It fills and surrounds all realms, yet is hidden through tzimtzum (apparent contraction) and hitlabshut (enclothment).
  • It is the source field of all being, before and within all distinctions.



“The Infinite Light has no end, no boundary, and no definition—it is present everywhere and in all things.” – Etz Chaim, Isaac Luria





🔄 Common Themes


Concept

Ohr Ein Sof (Kabbalah)

Holomovement (Bohm)

Underlying reality

Infinite Divine light

Unified field of flux

Manifestation

Becomes the Sefirot, worlds, souls

Unfolds as particles, space-time

Unbroken whole

No separation between God and world

No separation between observer and observed

Dynamics

Tzimtzum + Hitlabshut = flow into form

Enfolding & unfolding dynamics

Perception of duality

Result of concealment

Illusion caused by limited view

Goal

To reunite with divine source (Devekut)

To perceive the wholeness behind appearances





🧠 Deeper Connection:



In both systems:


  • What we call “reality” is a projection or expression of a formless unity.
  • Our perception of separateness is due to limitations in consciousness (Kabbalah: shells/klipot; Bohm: fragmentation of thought).
  • The “movement” is not mechanical, but organic, intelligent, and interpenetrating all levels.






🕯️ Quote Fusion:



“Before anything was created, there was only the Infinite Light, filling all reality… and all that would ever exist was enfolded within it.” — Etz Chaim


“The explicate order arises from the implicate through the holomovement—an undivided wholeness in flowing movement.” — David Bohm





🧘 Mystical Implication:



The Ohr Ein Sof is not something “out there”, but is what you are made of.

The Holomovement is not just physics, but a pointer toward a sacred continuity underlying mind, matter, and mystery.
