The Quantum Revelation: Awakening to the Dreamlike Nature of Reality

Classical physics has been to our advantage, however, it has disconnected consciousness from being part of reality, and views the universe as being a conglomerate of separate parts, which is holding us back from our natural evolution. This is one of the main causes of today’s growing economic, ecological, political, social, and moral problems, which obstructs the full flowering of our creative potential and the evolution of our collective consciousness.

Quantum physics uses reason and the intellect, combined with carefully gathered empirical data from experiments, to investigate the underlying essence of our universe. This new physics is introducing us to a radically new way of seeing, conceptualizing, and understanding that profoundly impacts human thinking, feeling, sensing, knowing, and being. Quantum physics is the most successful scientific theory – as far as its capacity to make accurate theoretical predications that precisely match with experimental data – of all time.

The revelation of quantum physics reveals that the universe is interconnected (quantum entangled) by an underlying indivisible, field of universal consciousness (the unified field, the quantum field). It shows the universe is multidimensional, non-local as well as local, non-linear, and is comprised of consciousness manifest as matter in the form of condensed light expressed in the eternal now moment. There is no external position from which to observe or contemplate our universe from the outside. We are of the universe. There is no inside or outside. That is what is meant by oneness, a oneness with the whole universe, visible and non-visible. Everywhere we look, within and without, we only find our own self-nature assuming a vast diversity of differing forms, functions, and aspects.

Quantum physics has allowed for the creation of advanced technology, but the real impact is with creating our own reality. People who have been indoctrinated into the dictates of the conventional scientific creed or religious dogma can find it difficult or even impossible to imagine that the world can be anything other than the way they have been taught, however, oftentimes a shift in a single idea can precipitate a transition into a new epoch.

The new physics is calling us to free our minds from our unconscious, built-in prejudices, assumptions, and restricted views about our world as well as ourselves. The still-dominant attitude of scientific materialism has erroneously excluded the subjectively experienced mind from the domain of the natural world to the point that scientific knowledge has come to be equated with objective knowledge. And yet, quantum physics has proven that there is no objective anything. Quantum physics leads us not only beyond physics into the realm of metaphysics, but also into philosophy, cosmology, psychology, theology, and more.

The universe has built into itself the potentiality for self-awareness. Out of its wholeness, the universe perceivably separates itself into subject and object to objectify itself to itself in order to be seen as an object and therefore known. In understanding the universe, the solution to the quantum physicists’ dilemma is hidden in paradoxes that could not be solved by logical reasoning but have to be experienced directly through an expansion of awareness. Every advance, every conceptual achievement of humanity has always been connected to an expansion of self-awareness. This expansion of self-awareness is necessarily an expansion of the universe’s self-awareness of itself.

Both mystics and scientists have the same aim – to become aware of the unity of knowledge, of humanity and the universe, and to transcend our egos. Quantum physicists, in their encounter with the strange world of the quantum, are being led to the same conclusion as the mystically inclined. The genuine mystical path is closely akin to the path of science in that mystics accept only that which is revealed through direct, immediate experience. Quantum physics is helping us return to the original meaning of what it is to be an empiricist, which has to do with our direct experience – be it inner experiences (dreams, visions, imaginations, intuitions, etc) or outer, sensory-based experiences.

People who are consciousness averse also seem to not have a living relationship with their own unconscious. They oftentimes are overly identified with their rational mind and controlled by their ego at the expense of their heartfelt, intuitive experience of the now moment; whereas people who have an intimate relationship with their unconscious seem more easily able to recognize that their consciousness – or lack thereof – might be a significant factor in how their experience of the world manifests.

In a quantum universe such as ours, everything ultimately exists in a state of open-ended potential. We subjectively experience the illusion that there is only one fixed and solid classical universe that exists, and everyone else, at least on the surface, appears to be living within the same world that we do. The quantum plenum is something (a something akin to nothing) that we are always in touch with, contained within, and of which we are expressions. Similar to a hologram, where very part contains an image of the whole even when divided, in each part of the quantum system the whole is encoded. Due to the holistic, indivisible, and holographic nature of the quantum universe, by focusing on a seemingly partial aspect of reality, such as the smallest fragment of the microworld, we gain, in a practically magical way, access to the whole.

Quantum physics and the idea of psychiatrist Carl G. Jung’s Unus Mundus suggests that there is no one absolute way that things are, for things do not actually exist separate from our own minds, but rather from a primordial oneness from which everything is derived. Consciousness brings all creation into being. Consciousness creates the physical universe, and the physical world can only be experienced through the mind. Through his idea of synchronicity, Jung was attempting to re-envision the complementary realm of psyche and matter as one undivided reality. When carefully contemplated, it becomes obvious that the appearance of a solid, external world only arises within our awareness.

The quantum field comprises of immaterial information waves of probability, or in other words, waves of pure possibility. Subatomic quantum entities have no existence or meaning in isolation, but only in relationship with everything else. Subatomic quantum objects, like atoms, don’t exist as things but rather as events, as happenings, as dynamic, ever-changing, interactive psychophysical processes. Quantum entities exist in a multiplicity of simultaneous potential states (called a superposition), hovering in the quantum realm between existence and nonexistence prior to being observed. The act of observation is the very act that turns the potentiality of the quantum realm into the manifestation of the seemingly physical world in the eternal present moment.

Classical physics tells us that matter is solid in three-dimensional space, changes over linear time, and is composed of more than 99.9999999 percent empty space. In quantum physics, however, matter doesn’t exist, everything is created from light condensed from consciousness. The double-slit experiment was the first experiment to show how light manifested – as a wave or a particle – depending on how it was observed. Quantum entities, such as photons, are simultaneously waves and particles. Waves spread out and oscillate as disturbances in the underlying quantum field, whereas particles are localized, concentrated objects with a certain mass when observed. Quantum entities, such as atoms, which are made up of photons, exist in wave form in unmanifest potential in the quantum field until observed, then come into existence as a particle manifesting in the eternal now moment. This is known as collapsing the wave function. The particles then merge back into the unified filed and return as a new manifestation in the very next moment based on observation. We ourselves, with our brains and nervous system, have a similar constitution.

We perceive matter as solid simply because the vibrations of condensed manifested light occur so rapidly. The illusion of three-dimensional matter is fabricated within our minds in such a way that a physical world appears solid and outside of us, when in fact it is a neurologically generated standing wave holographic pattern that is witnessed by our consciousness in such a way as to trick us into seeing it as a solid, external world of physical objects. The reality which exists now cannot be the reality which existed a moment ago – despite our memories. Our sense of continuity between moments is only a function of our memory. The whole universe is created anew from the underlying field every single moment. There is no space or time. Quantum processes are not causally connected from one moment to the next; their connection is acausal, atemporal, non-linear, and synchronistic. What appears to be the same quantum entity traveling through space and time is actually a new and unique entity at each and every moment. There are no objects that over the course of time are identical with a previous version of themselves. In a magical display, the particle appears to move across space-time as it creates the illusion of continuity.

The Uncertainty Principle states that we can never know – experimentally or in principle – a quantum entity’s position and momentum (considered to be the two measurable variables that are the cornerstones of classical physics) at the same time. If we choose to measure one thing, we prevent the measurement of something else. Given that quantum entities don’t have any real attributes until they are measured, and given that these different attributes can’t be measured at the same time, it can be said that certain attributes can’t exist at the same time. Quantum physics has shown that not only is the full description of these quantum entities unknown, but, because they do not exist prior to being measured, they are ultimately unknowable. Not only is there a limit to our knowledge of these quantum entities when we are looking at them, we have no idea at all what they are doing when we are not looking at them.

Universal consciousness underlies the universe, in which the universe gives birth to our consciousness, and our consciousness gives meaning to the universe. We live in a self-observing universe where we are the instruments through which the universe becomes aware of its creative nature. We become a channel for the universe to re-create itself in a novel and evolutionary way. Seen as a self-excited and self-actualizing circuit, the physical universe bootstraps itself into existence, universal laws and all. As a self-excited circuit, the universe gives rise to observers who, in completing the circuit, give meaningful reality to the universe. The Observer Effect, the central pillar of quantum physics, reveals that the act of observation is a creative act that we are all – knowingly or unknowingly – participating in every moment of our lives. The observer, the observed, and the act of observation compose a single, unified, dynamic whole. We are all active participants in the universe who inform, give shape to, and in some mysterious sense create the very universe we are interacting with and are a product of, which opens doors to unimagined frontiers of human freedom that could transform our world.

The universe is never divided in space and time, for all division is only apparent division and everything is simply an expression of oneness. Each and every non-separate part of the universe is synchronized, orchestrated, and coordinated with the states and movements of every other part in such a way that there is no time in information transmitting itself across space. Space, and the distance it implies, does not pose any obstacle to the correlation of quantum states for the simple reason that the universe is actually one singular, indivisible system.

In the quantum realm there is no space-time: the linear, sequential ordering of events over time and across space does not exist. There is no past or future. The idea of past or future is never experienced separate from the present moment. There is only the moment of observation manifest in the eternal now. Each moment is a unique, creative, and a self-contained whole moment in and of itself. The present moment is influenced by the potential of the past and future collapsing into the infinite now. There are no other lived moments except in our imagination, which is the very place that the notion of time is conceived. Time is a mental construct created by us to quantify and measure with clocks to navigate our physical world. Based on classical conditioning, we are concurrently creating the illusion that we exist as a separate self within a time and space of our own making. To quote physicist Albert Einstein, “Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.”

There is truly nothing like our universe that we know of; having no frame of reference outside of itself, there is nothing to compare it with. The quantum entities that make up the quantum realm, coming in and out of existence in the present moment, are involved in a continual, never-ending exchange of information. Transcending the conventional, three-dimensional rules of space and time, non-local interaction is characterized by instant information exchange, where one part of the universe, in no time whatsoever (outside of time in the quantum field), appears to interact, affect, and communicate with another part of the universe in an immediate, unmitigated, and unmediated way. This is called non-locality; termed “spooky action at a distance” by Einstein. Non-locality is an expression of the indivisible wholeness of the universe. It represents an observable and measurable indication of the deeply singular and unitary nature of the universe despite its apparent physical diversity. An expression of this wholeness is that each part of the universe is related to and in non-local resonance with every other part. The recognition that our universe is non-local has more potential to transform our conceptions of the way things are, including who we are, than any previous discovery in the history of science. Being that quantum physics is the most accurate means of describing how atoms turn into molecules, and since molecular relationships are the basis of all chemistry, and chemistry is the basis of all biology, quantum entanglement and non-locality could well contain within it the secret to life itself.

The viewpoint of quantum physics is an expression of the universe as a whole system, as if the universe is one indivisible unit, a singularity. Our entire universe/multiverse may itself be arising within (and as an expression of) a cosmic singularity. The discovery that we live within a non-local universe may be the first empirical indication or revelation of a profound new vision of the universe in which our entire universe is, or is arising within, one vast indivisible and inseparable cosmic singularity. This possibility opens up the limits to our conceptions of both the micro- and macro-worlds, which is to say that the upper and lower limits of our universe are potentially infinite in both directions.

Defying a unique description, quantum reality demands several diverse, mutually exclusive, contradictory, and paradoxical perspectives, which, when seen together, form a more complete picture of the underlying states of things. Physicist Neils Bohr’s idea of the Complementarity Principle was that the incompatible and seemingly contradictory opposites of, for example, waves and particles, were not just contradictory but also complementary and necessary descriptions of the same underlying reality. Two descriptions of a thing are complementary only if each by itself is incapable of providing a complete description on its own, while both together provide a more complete description. Bohr saw complementarity as an expression of embracing the opposites that are built into nature. Waves and particles are two aspects of the same thing, which makes no sense as long as we are entrenched in the dualistic viewpoint of classical reality. Each description is only partially correct and has a limited range of application. The wave/particle duality offers us a new model for seeing ourselves both as distinct, autonomous, and sovereign individuals, and at the same time as members of a greater body, the collective social web of interrelationships, in which we are all contained and through which we forge further identity as well as a wider capacity for creative relationship. In the quantum world, all conscious and physical phenomena are complementary aspects of the same transcendental reality. Matter and consciousness are usually conceived of as being polar opposites; however, consciousness needs matter to reveal itself, and matter needs consciousness to exist.

Being fundamental, consciousness cannot be reduced to other features of the universe such as energy or matter. The brain is just matter. The brain does not produce consciousness, it is an instrument that tunes into and transmits it. Quantum theory provides insight into how conscious entities, such as ourselves, can alter the course of the physically described aspects of reality through the decisions we make. On an individual level, our awareness interacts with and affects the subatomic realm of our bodies, which then feeds back into and influences our awareness. Jung felt that the central psychospiritual task of our unique moment in history is to realize the unity of consciousness and matter, which is what synchronistic events are revealing to us. These strange, inexplicable coincidences that Jung called synchronicities often consist of a highly unlikely but auspicious and attention-grabbing coincidence between inner and outer events. These synchronistic miracles don’t contradict the natural sciences, but rather are quite compatible and consistent with the probabilistic and observer-dependent nature of quantum physics. In synchronistic phenomena, consciousness and matter reciprocally inform and reflect each other. On a conventional level, psyche and matter can be thought of as inner and outer reality. The factor that connects the inner and outer realities is meaning, which is to be found within our minds. The only acceptable view appears to be one that recognizes both sides of reality – the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the conscious – as compatible with each other and can embrace them simultaneously in the process of individuation: becoming whole. This wholeness is the result of dedicated and sincere efforts towards personal self-transformation through inner work made over a lengthy period of time. Jung says only from our wholeness can we create a model of the whole.

We are only able to see someone in their wholeness if we ourselves are in touch with our wholeness. In a positive feedback loop, seeing the other person’s wholeness further connects us with our own. We can more deeply realize our own light as it is seen reflected through others. Similarly, like looking into a mirror, we can see our shadow projected onto others. This offers us an opportunity to learn and transform the darkest parts of ourselves on our path to wholeness. In rendering transparent the illusion of the universe existing objectively, quantum physics can potentially help us to see through the once-convincing mirage of the separate self with which we have been unconsciously identified. The separate self can be considered to be the primordial trauma, the perceived separation from wholeness, the veiling of our true nature.

Our species is suffering from a form of collective trauma. The signature of trauma is that through the traumatic event happens in time as an actual historical event, we then internalize it. This is to say that we unconsciously reenact the trauma in both our inner and outer lives. Compulsively repeating the trauma, which is our attempt to heal from it, re-creates the very trauma from which we are trying to heal in an infinitely self-generating feedback loop, both temporally and atemporally (outside of time, in the realm of the unconscious). This infinite regress only stops when we realize the role we are playing in creating our experience of being traumatized. Realizing that we are colluding in our own trauma through our unconscious reactions snaps us out of being a victim while simultaneously introduces us to our intrinsic creative power to shape our experience.

Einstein said, “Body and soul are not two different things, but only two ways of perceiving the same thing.” The root meaning of the word psychology is the study of the psyche and the soul. We can conceive of the soul as a vital, animating core of luminosity, sentience, and aliveness, the very thing that links us to the divine, to each other, and to the part of us that is most ourselves. Finding our soul has to do with becoming conscious of our true identity and discovering our purpose for living. The soul can never have knowledge of objective reality – for it, and we, are not objects. The soul can only know what it is and what it is here in manifested form for.

Jung realized that the psyche was the all-important essence of humanity, the most powerful instrument that we possess, as well as being the greatest danger that threatens us. The psyche is at the root of humanity’s creative genius as well as the myriad world crises that we are currently facing.

In excluding ourselves from the universe, our materialist, reductionist science is first destroying the world in theory before proceeding to destroy it in practice by dividing humanity through racism and war. The overwhelming majority of the physics field has been co-opted by the corporate powers that be to become an instrument for their agenda. For the corporate body politic, the bottom line of generating profits is what’s important, after all. Since it is interested in manipulating and gaining control over the seemingly outer world, its focus has to do with issues related to the acquisition of raw power. There is an unconscious incentive-driven blindness intrinsic to remaining part of the global corporate institutional power structure. This is to say that individual scientists who are embedded in and part of this structure, be it in corporations or academia, have been unconsciously conditioned to avoid inquiring in directions that could threaten the power structure they depend on for their salaries, reputations, and funding for their research. This is a universal phenomenon at work within the human psyche through which power and control are reinforced and maintained at the expense of truth, operating across many different domains throughout the world. Einstein remarked, “It is harder to crack a prejudice than an atom.”

Connecting with the quantum field and realizing our quantum nature bestows such an immense power that this knowledge could only be entrusted to those with high moral character. Yet many of the new technologies developed out of the quantum revelation are used by some people against others to fulfill their dreams of power and domination. Imagine the immense energy accessed by atomic physics not being used to create new weapons of mass destruction with the purpose to kill as many human beings as possible, but instead channeled in a constructive, positive manner for the unlimited benefit of all beings. If we aren’t able to successfully mine the revelatory treasure that is quantum physics, this would be a tragic reflection of our inability to overcome our own self-destructive inner forces of psychopathology. It would be the worst nightmare of the powers that be to have the quantum revelation get out and be more widely accessible by the human population at large. When it comes to the world’s body politic, it is crucial for us to realize the extent of the massive spell that is being woven all around us through the propaganda (such as the mainstream media) of the prevailing order. We are continually being conditioned, programmed, brainwashed, and hypnotized beyond belief to buy into, to both consume and be consumed by, an impoverished version of who we are. To the extent that we don’t connect with our true essence and express our true creative selves we become dominated.

We are negating the truth of our existential situation, which leads to a state of delusion. Quantum physics, when contemplated deeply enough, can completely unravel our illusory sense of self in a way that, to the ego, can feel like a sort of death experience. We have literally forgotten who we are, and, in doing so, have disconnected from our vast creative powers for consciously shaping and co-creating reality. At any moment, to the extent we are aware of our true nature, we can help each other to remember.

The revelations of quantum physics can be used to destroy life or to enhance it beyond measure. As we see through the illusion that we exist separate from the universe, we naturally step into a more holistic and ecological mode of thinking in which we perceive ourselves as part of a greater ecosystem. The energetic expression of realizing – not just intellectually, but in our hearts – that we do not exist separate from each other, but are interconnected and interdependent at the deepest, most fundamental level of our being, is compassion.

Quantum physics is a flag bearer of an epochal paradigm shift currently taking place within human consciousness, deep within the collective unconscious, concerning the nature of reality itself. The revelations of quantum physics are offering us the keys to our intrinsic freedom. The biggest obstacle in bringing the liberating quantum gnosis into our world today is not the powers that be suppressing this knowledge, but rather the programmed, limited, and fear-based state of most people’s minds.

One of the greatest sovereign powers that we all wield as human beings, although often unknowingly or without awareness, is the power of choosing where to place our attention. The very power of creation lies invisibly enfolded within our field of attention. Quantum physics reveals to us that turning the gaze of our attention toward anything is a powerful creative act that alters, energizes, and potentiates whatever our gaze falls on. Focusing our attention is an act of creation in and of itself. Our beam of attention intersects and interacts with the multidimensional probability waves that hover in a state of unrealized potentiality that comprise matter in its unobserved state. Once imbued with our attention, whatever we are looking at instantly materializes into a particular and perceivable appearance. The symbolic procedures of quantum physics awaken our attention, which in turn stimulates the development of our consciousness. It can be profoundly powerful and self-transformative when, in introspective practice such as meditation, we put our attention not only on the contents of our own mind, but on the underlying awareness that is experiencing these contents. Showing the power of the quantum Observer Effect turned inward, by shifting our attention beam shimmering with the power of quantum creativity upon ourselves, we literally can re-create and transform ourselves in the process.

The emergence of quantum physics has the potential to help us awaken to our quantum nature. How quantum physics actually manifests and the effect it has upon us depends on if we recognize what it is revealing to us. We can create and step into new images of ourselves through our creative imagination. These images immediately get imprinted into the quantum field, establishing a new template that increases the probability of this new identity pattern becoming more natural and familiar to us, which increases the likelihood that we will more embody and live out this new identity in our lives. When we visualize, imagining ourselves as we truly are, we are tuning into and helping to manifest the part of ourselves that is already healed, whole, and awake.

Anyone who, to whatever degree, consciously accesses the creative source within themselves can’t help but to influence others by their very presence. When someone realizes their quantum nature, it is like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Just like an oak tree is hidden within the acorn, the image of the soon-to-be butterfly is encoded as a realizable potential within the caterpillar. This is why it can be so helpful and inspiring to be around people who have some degree of realizing their quantum nature, as the realization they are embodying activates our own.

When opportunities arise that have intrinsically liberating qualities, be it in the world or within our minds, negative forces in the quantum field simultaneously emerge that hinder and obstruct our connection to our true selves and our intuition. Light and darkness reciprocally co-arise. This dynamic needs to be factored into the equation of our universe. When a hidden treasure is brought into our world, we should be sure to create the circumstances to protect the precious treasure from being obscured by the negative, opposing forces. One prerequisite for this is to successfully deal with the obstructing forces within ourselves that could potentially hinder the realization of our gifts. This requires transcending our fears and releasing our traumas, so that the negative energies have nothing to attach to in their attempt to bring us down.

Individuals and groups can begin to consciously tap into the creative energy that makes up the quantum realm, the energy of creation itself, in a way that changes everything. Quantum physics is linking the subjective and objective domains into a higher, more coherent synthesis. In consciously accessing the non-visible dimension of the quantum realm, we begin to actively interface with the creative powers of the universe, giving us the capabilities to effect real change in the universe.

As if tailor-made for the multiple crises we find ourselves in, quantum physics is what we require to enhance not only our continual survival, but also our blossoming into our higher potential as well. Lifting the veil that has occluded our vision, quantum physics is revealing how utterly alive, changeable, and sensitive to our touch the universe really is. It is offering us a way out of our dilemma by revealing to us a new direction for our scientific, psychospiritual, and social evolution. No one remains the same upon encountering the quantum realm – it changes us forevermore. All of our senses, emotions, thoughts, and somatic and perceptual systems operate through quantum processes. This is to say that physics’ quantum reflections can help us to transcend ourselves. Our thoughts, attention, and intentions have the power to influence and transform our world.

Quantum physics is one of the all-time greatest discoveries of the human mind. Becoming lucid to our interdependence with all other beings, with all life, with the whole universe, we would naturally feel a desire to be of service to others, to the unified field, and to the whole. Paradoxically, to serve others – because we are not separate – is to be in true service to ourselves. This involves nothing other than fully stepping into and being ourselves. It is only in connecting with what is most truly ourselves that the real healing is to be found. The energetic vibration of our shared and growing realization strengthens and reinforces itself through non-local morphic resonance, making it more available for everyone to tap into. In an evolutionary quantum leap of consciousness, we can dream ourselves awake. As quantum physics unequivocally points out, that enough of us could wake up and change our collective waking dream. Realizing that this is not only a possibility, but an evolutionary necessity, simultaneously dispels our inertia and inspires our creative spirit. In seeing what is truly possible, we are on the way to creating it. The darkness in our world is potentially helping us to wake up. Everything depends on whether we recognize what is being revealed.

In my experience, connecting to the quantum realm (the unified field, universal consciousness, infinite intelligence) requires ego transformation (sometimes called ego death). The ego exists to keep us safe from danger and suggests that we exist as a separate self from the universe and others. As we develop in a fear-based society the ego becomes the dominant fear-based operating system. Connecting with one’s true self demands ego transformation, however, the ego never truly dies but deflates to a point where it is no longer in control. As the ego lets go of control, it flares up and fights for its life. Persevering through the fears that ensue is essential. Letting them go is required. This allows for intuition to become the dominant operating system. In this way, we can transcend fear, bypass our rational mind and ego, understand oneness, attain mental stillness, and be guided by our intuition from infinite intelligence.
