We touch physical objects at the same locations in space and time as we see, hear, smell, or taste them. This could be because they are “out there,” in a physical reality external to conscious experience, waiting to be perceived, or it could be that material substance does not exist, and perceptual consciousness is dimensionally structured into sensory realms. Dimensions are sensory potentials – what we actually experience in any realm we potentially experience in all of them. It is much easier to understand the enigmas of relativity theory and quantum mechanics in this manner, with the concept of matter out of the way.

This book was inspired largely by mediation experience, but is written for and from the western scientific point of view.

This is an understanding of life that transcends matter. More importantly, it transcends the difference between what you are and what I am. Despite its reliance on what is known through Western Science, it is a transcendence of the Western understanding of reality. It does not begin with a world and then try to figure out how life evolved within it; it begins with life and then tries to figure out where the world came from.

“The Globalist Papers” is a case for global political unity. The nation-state remains the political paradigm of the current era even as nuclear weaponry, global communications, climate change, and the global economy make it obsolete. “The Globalist Papers” shows the need now for unity among the nations of the world much the same way the “Federalist Papers” showed the need in the 1700’s for unity among the states of America. This book is not limited to political history. It explores the spiritual and psychological dimensions of the transition away from nationality. Why is it more important now to be national than human, and how will it be possible for the transition to take place?

Buddha and the Quantum is about the connection between meditation and physics. Many books show parallels between consciousness and physics; a few of these attempt to explain consciousness in terms of the physics of everyday experience.

This is the only book on the market that explains physics and the everyday world in terms of consciousness alone. Space and time – and the physical world they define – are a structure of consciousness. We can understand the motion of the planets only by putting the sun at their center; similarly, we can understand modern physics only if we put space and time within consciousness.
Buddha and the Quantum is also unique in that it shows why we think there is a world independent of consciousness. The concept of material substance is explained in terms of the same structure of consciousness that explains quantum mechanics and relativity theory.

Kalapa is a Buddhist term for a subtle sensation: a point of consciousness in the body. Barely noticeable most of the time, it fills awareness during meditation. It is the voice of a cell. This book shows that it is also the quantum. Quanta arranged in space-time – photons – are visual consciousness: the experience of cells in the retina. This explains why modern physics has had so much difficulty understanding light. Light is not in space; space is in light.

Buddha and the Quantum describes how experience in the physical world is built not from objective reality, but from experience within. Avery’s brilliant model of consciousness makes difficult and subtle ideas understandable, surprising you with the implications.

This thoroughly researched and wholly engaging book investigates the economic, ecological, political, and psychological issues behind the Keystone XL pipeline—a project so controversial it has inspired the largest expression of civil disobedience since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. With enough carbon trapped in the Canadian tar sands to plunge the Earth into irreversible climate change, it is the Keystone XL pipeline that will set that carbon free. The debate rages on over whether this 2,100-mile long steel pipeline is a vital piece America’s energy future or the conduit for global climate disaster. From the enormous tar sands mines in Alberta to a tree-top blockade in Texas, this book introduces the people and explores the competing interests that power the environmental issue of the current generation.

Until recently we thought the world was made of space, time, and matter. We assumed consciousness was “inside” of ourselves, while the hard, cold, material world was “outside,” existing independently of life. Now, due to the discoveries of relativity theory and quantum mechanics, we are not so sure.

In “Dimensions Within,” a multimedia ebook, Samuel Avery shares the startling idea that thinking there is a world “out there” may be the wrong way around. Instead, all things are within consciousness. Using a model he calls The Quantum Screen, he describes how the physical world may exist only to the extent that we perceive it.

This interactive ebook opens a new world of exploration and dives into the details of Avery’s brilliant model of consciousness. Step-by-step, it details the relationship between dimensions and realms of consciousness —that is, the relationship between space, time, and mass, and the five senses. Space and time may not be “out there” after all. Avery believes they are “in here.” Consciousness is not in space-time; space-time is in consciousness.

This is no ordinary book. It contains written text, video and audio segments, as well as more than a dozen creatively animated videos to illustrate some of the enigmas of modern physics and to facilitate an understanding of the Quantum Screen model of consciousness.

This multimedia ebook is about much more than physics! It’s about us—about what we actually experience by being alive.

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.

A new kingdom evolves every billion years or so. A kingdom is evolving now, within human consciousness.

Organic molecules combine into the first kingdom – bacterial cells, which amalgamate into the second kingdom – complex cells, which colonize into the third kingdom – animals. The consciousness of each higher-level organism remains reducible to that of its parts, but takes on a wholeness over and above its parts. Individual cells experience photons, but the organism as a whole sees.

The evolutionary process continues in the current era: cities evolve circulatory systems, electrical grids, and municipal plumbing. Television moves human consciousness from direct visual perception to the mediated experience of a pixel screen, while virtual reality programs create consciousness entirely distinct from physical reality. But mindless process is not adaptation. Civilization cannot face the hard realities of life on Earth without a spiritual realization of humanity in relation to the natural world.

The kingdom will not live without its soul.

Reducing carbon emissions is not enough – according to the best science in the world, all emissions must be eliminated by 2050. Why do the oil companies, coal companies, and utilities keep producing more carbon fuel? Because we keep buying it. Every time we throw a light witch or stop at the pump we are sending signals into the economy for more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and more climate chaos But how are we going to heat our homes and drive to work? How will we keep the lights on and power the refrigerator?

We’re running our of time, but we must use the time we are running out of. We can’t make the changes tomorrow morning and we can’t make them on our own. We have to make long-term permanent behavior changes over the next 10, 20, 30 years and we have to organize with friends into support groups with the muscle power to overhaul energy markets and local government. This is the first truly global crisis that humanity has ever faced: Think globally; act locally!
