I first came across David Bohm and his work on dialogue while reading The Fifth Discipline in the early nineties. Around the same time I was introduced to the works of Krishnamurti by my meditation teacher in Singapore. As it was a pre web world I never got to explore the connection between the two until many years later.
There are two primary forms of discourse - discussion and dialogue - unfortunately the former has dominated over the last three millennium. As a consequence the crisis of conciousness we are experiencing throughout our world today is global in nature. Dialogue is a theme I continually revisit because of its importance to our survival as a species.
