That idea about attachment has been very helpful. Bohm's problem with thought
is that it is automatic. For instance, the thought there is a War on Terror
unfolds feelings, actions, and other thoughts automatically, so that we stop
thinking to a large degree. I think your point about attachment is the crucial
thing. The other point Bohm makes is that all our thought is fragmented, comes
from so many different sources that it is often also, incoherent. If you take
the person who was killed in bombing the Boston Marathon. I think his problem
was definitely his thought. Had he been able to look at his thought at the
feelings that preceded it, he might have focused on his self and not tried to
find solutions outside himself.
