What is the connection between physics and consciousness? In this groundbreaking new book, Samuel Avery presents the quantum screen, a paradigm-shifting model of perceptual consciousness and of the world. This model looks to the enigmas of modern physics to demonstrate the primacy of consciousness--the essential oneness of spirit and matter.
Our intellectual culture is divided between two poles--science and religion. It's often assumed that these two disciplines--each individually essential and intriguing--cannot speak to one another. Physics cannot answer spiritual questions. Theories of consciousness have no place in the laboratory. In fact, the opposite is true.
While mental and physical experiences appear to be separate realities, Avery believes that a new understanding of dimensions (space, time and mass) will unite them. Dimensions as structures of perceptual consciousness will awaken a creative convergence of quantum mechanics, relativity theory, and ancient meditation traditions.
Scientifically rigorous and spiritually profound, Avery's model is far from a mere concept or belief. He offers both an explanation of the quantum screen, as well as an opportunity to experience it directly. He deftly weaves humanism into the fabric of hard science. The result is illuminating and potentially life changing, with significant implications for how we understand nature, ourselves, and each other.
"Samuel Avery gives us a refreshingly original and delightfully well-written account of Reality, ripe with clarity and larger than scientific or religious narratives have yet to grasp. I enjoyed this highly original and deeply insightful look into the essence of consciousness."
--Allan Combs, PhD, President of The Society for Consciousness Studies, and award-winning author of The Radiance of Being; and Consciousness Explained Better
"Sam Avery is one of the pioneers of the 'observer creating reality' solution to the relationship between mind and matter as described in quantum physics. Here he presents a new method for the reader to envision this relationship with more clarity."
--Fred Alan Wolf, PhD, Quantum Physicist, author of many books, including Time-Loops and Space-Twists: How God Created the Universe and Dr. Quantum's Little Book of Big Ideas
"Samuel Avery is one of those rare individuals who change the world by discovering something about how it works and sharing that discovery with all of us. With each new book he writes, his thinking becomes more refined. In The Quantum Screen, Sam covers tremendous intellectual ground--brilliantly combining physics and a spiritual view of consciousness."
--Stephen Hage, author of Let There Be Light: Physics, Philosophy, and the Dimensional Structure of Consciousness
"Samuel Avery's concept of the dimensional structure of consciousness is brilliant and paradigm-shattering. Once you get it, you'll never see the world in quite the same way again; it will all make so much more sense. In each of his books, Avery refines and elucidates the concept. Now, with The Quantum Screen, he's focused and simplified his presentation once again. And in the second half of the book, he's introduced himself more personally and personably and explained the ethical and ecological implications of understanding the world as a living experience of consciousness."
--Toby Johnson, author of Finding Your Own True Myth: What I Learned from Joseph Campbell
"While a number of physicists and philosophers have explored the relationship between the insights of Eastern meditation traditions and the revelations of modern physics, Mr. Avery is the first to create a new epistemology that fully integrates the insights of both disciplines."
--Charles Lynd, Media Ecologist, The Ohio State University College of Education and Human Ecology (retired)
"In The Quantum Screen Sam continues to clarify an order that turns our involvement with consciousness and the universe inside-out. Suspend belief and disbelief and enter his radical world."
--George Fowler
