The Great Tao flows everywhere

 
"The new form of insight can perhaps best be called Undivided Wholeness in Flowing Movement. This view implies that flow is, in some sense, prior to that of the 'things' that can be seen to form and dissolve in this flow" - Physicist David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order

This, I submit, is the real nature of "globalisation" todayIt is a conversation across both time and space which effectively  synchronises and coordinates the shared insights of different traditions (histories) and localities (peoples) revealing them as belonging to one universal history of human experience, albeit refracted like light into different idioms and languages. In the "other" we now begin to recognise ourselves.
