The Quantum Revelation: Awakening to the Dreamlike Nature of Reality
Autor Paul Levy Cuvânt înainte de Jean Houston Ph.D.en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 feb 2025
• Shows how the revelations emerging from quantum physics can wake us up from the disempowering spell of the scientific materialist worldview and help dispel the collective madness that has befallen our species
• Explains for readers with no physics background why quantum physics is, in the words of Albert Einstein, so “uncommonly important” that “it should be everyone’s concern”
• Shows how quantum physics can help us awaken to the malleable, dreamlike nature of reality, a realization that unlocks the creative spirit within us
• Author's previous work was endorsed by Sting.
• Author is very well connected in the podcast world.
Explaining the world-transforming effects of quantum physics, Paul Levy shows how discoveries in this field—widely considered the greatest in the history of science—can wake us up from the disempowering spell of the reductionist, materialist worldview, thereby helping to dispel the collective madness that has befallen our species. He explains how quantum physics helps us to consciously realize our vast evolutionary potential and awaken us to the malleable, dreamlike nature of reality, a realization that unlocks the creative spirit hidden within our own minds. In a radical synthesis of quantum physics with spirituality, psychology, lucid dreaming, and alchemy, Levy contemplates the deeper philosophical and metaphysical underpinnings of quantum mechanics, exploring what it means that quantum physics has empirically proven that there is no such thing as “objective reality” and how we are active participants in creating our experience of reality, whether we realize it or not.
Revealing the quantum nature of our world and ourselves, The Quantum Revelation shows how quantum physics has become a modern-day spiritual path for awakening and expanding consciousness with particular relevance for the challenging times we are living through.

About the Author
Recenzii
“One of the most fascinating, evocative, and important books that I have ever read.”
“A deeply alchemical work of breathtaking scope. Paul blends and shapes the scientific and the mystical into a scintillating synthesis that forms the perfect springboard for a whole new means of understanding our universe.”
“The Quantum Revelation is a masterpiece. Utterly brilliant!”
“On the surface, The Quantum Revelation is a clearly written discussion of the mind-blowing implications of quantum mechanics, but below the surface, it is a magical spell. If you let it, this book can change your life.”
“Paul Levy reveals a picture of our world that is shockingly different than the one we were taught. It is a view in which mind matters and in which consciousness is fundamental. The implications of these insights for how we live our life and for our very survival as a species are being sensed by an increasing number of individuals. No intelligent, thinking person in today’s world can afford to be uninformed about these developments. For your sake—and that of future generations—put this book on the top of your stack.”
“The Quantum Revelation brilliantly reveals how science is capable of enhancing our understanding of spirituality. In creatively pointing out the correlation between psyche and matter, Paul is helping to illuminate the dreamlike nature of the universe in a way that can help all of us to further awaken. Bravo!”
“A radical synthesis of science and spirituality that is written in plain but profound language that the general reader will appreciate and understand. From the point of view of a quantum physicist who understands the primacy of consciousness, I appreciate the bold steps that Paul takes in this great work.”
“The Quantum Revelation lives up to its title. Every page offers a breathtaking, provocative revelation that shows how the quantum world, far from inhabiting an esoteric niche of our reality, constitutes its very fabric. Bold, piercingly insightful, and ever summoning us into the larger human story, this book helps us come to terms with the true nature of our reality, that we might awaken to the mystery and agency of our own true natures. To assimilate the message of this book is to help forge the future we all so deeply need to create—as individuals and as a collective force on this planet.”
“The Quantum Revelation is that unique book that plumbs the depth of the current scientific revolution and, at the same time, speaks from the heart to everyone’s heart. It describes what I call the new paradigm—embodied in a readable, enjoyable, and above all supremely informative volume!”
“Albert Einstein grasped a fundamental truth of existence: that science and spirituality are not separate. Paul Levy brilliantly elucidates the reality that separation does not exist on any level and that humanity’s principal task in the throes of the global crisis is to deeply reconnect with oneself, with each other, and with Earth. The question ‘Is there a higher power?’ is now embarrassingly obsolete. Levy masterfully demonstrates that in fact there is no one and nothing else.”
“For years we’ve seen a flood of books telling us everything we need to know about quantum physics, but The Quantum Revelation shows that there are still mysteries to discover in the strange world of subatomic particles and their even stranger relation to consciousness and the reality we share. This reality seems to be, as Levy tells us, a ‘participatory’ one, in which we are active players engaged in bringing the world into being, a truth here indeed brought home with the force of revelation. Heisenberg may have been uncertain about some things, but I bet observed and observer alike will appreciate this book.”
