Synopsis

To say that quantum physics is the greatest scientific discovery of all time is not an exaggeration. In their discovery of the quantum realm, the physics community stumbled upon a genuine multifaceted revelation which can be likened to a profound spiritual treasure—a heretofore undreamed of creative power—hidden within our own mind. Quantum physics unequivocally points out that the study of the universe and the study of consciousness are inseparably linked, which is to say that ultimate progress in the one will be impossible without progress in the other.

Written for those with no physics background, Paul Levy's latest book, The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality, is for those who have heard that quantum physics is a fascinating subject but don't quite understand how or why. Levy contemplates the deeper philosophical underpinnings of quantum physics, exploring the fundamental questions it provokes: What does it mean that quantum theory has discovered that there is no such thing as "objective reality?" How are we participating—via our consciousness—in creating our experience of a reality that quantum theory itself describes as "dreamlike?" What are the implications for us in our day-to-day lives that—as quantum theory reveals—what we call reality is more like a dream than we had previously imagined?

About Paul Levy

In 1981, due to an intense personal trauma, Paul Levy had a life-changing spiritual awakening in which he began to recognize the dreamlike nature of reality. During the first year of his spiritual emergence, Paul was hospitalized a number of times and was told he was having a severe psychotic break from reality. Fortunately, he was able to extricate himself from the medical and psychiatric establishment so that he could continue his process of self-discovery. In the late 1980s he became the manager of the C. G. Jung Foundation Book Service in New York, as well as the advertising manager for the Jungian journal Quadrant. He later moved to Portland, Oregon, where he began sharing his ideas about the dreamlike nature of reality by giving talks and facilitating interest groups.

Paul is the author of Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil, Awakened by Darkness: When Evil Becomes Your Father, and The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis. A Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for more than thirty years, Paul has intimately studied with some of the greatest spiritual masters of Tibet and Burma. Paul is the founder of the Awakening in the Dream community in Portland, Oregon. He was also the coordinator of the Portland chapter of the Padmasambhava Buddhist Center for over twenty years.

Goodreads review by Janet on June 21, 2018

This is the greatest book I have ever read. Paul Levy is uniquely qualified to explain Quantum Physics to the average reader. He has a background in Buddhism, Jungian Psychology and the works of Philip K. Dick. I’ve been waiting a Lifetime for someone to describe Quantum Physics in terms I can under......more

Goodreads review by Price on July 07, 2019

This is a superb work. The author adroitly blends the findings in physics, the teachings of Zen and Buddhism, and perspectives of some of our worlds most accomplished scientists regarding the conundrums presented by physics. It challenges our beliefs regarding consciousness and spirituality. The auth......more

Goodreads review by Anna on March 29, 2022

Great book on the basics of Quantum physics but I don’t think the revelation part was covered very well. I guess no one knows what’s next and quantum is probably the closest we come so far. I’ve already re-read a few chapters.......more

Goodreads review by Edmond on March 18, 2022

I found this book a compilation of a number of other books wriiten by different authors and scientists. Quotes are used heavily throughout the book. More like a review of what others have said or written, this books offers little originality.......more
