In The Quantum Revelation, Paul Levy, a practicing Tibetan Buddhist, writes that physics and psychology “might share an underlying commonality.”

He quotes Wolfgang Pauli:

The only acceptable point of view appears to be one that recognizes both sides of reality — the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the psychical — as compatible with each other and can embrace them simultaneously.

According to Levy:

The unification of psyche and physis — the inside and the outside– demands we explore the outer world while simultaneously looking within ourselves . . It is becoming clear that physis and psyche are two sides of the same coin, a currency that can be used to help our species snap out of our spell of fear and separation. . . both approaches need to be combined to cross-pollinate each other. Jung writes that, ‘only from which wholeness can man create a model of the whole.’

However, Levy laments that most of today’s physicists are corporate owned. Their careers, salaries, government and military funding (not to mention their very lives) depend upon adhering to the status quo paradigm of empirical science. As a result, they stay stuck — conveniently blind to the spiritual/psychological implications of quantum physics, Dangerously resistant, in fact.

He writes, . . . they exhibit a staggering ability to ignore whatever information doesn’t fit with the current theory they subscribe to.

In his view:

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 most important, after all. its main priority is focused on whatever activity is most readily translatable into money.

But fear not.

Lao Tze has given the world a way out of institutionalized madness. Using mystical poetry, he does an end-run around the rational mind, seducing us with powerful imagery and suggestive verse.

Ironically, given scientists’ ridicule and resistance to the implications of quantum physics, the Tao Te Ching is a world-loved scripture. According to translators Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English:

The eighty-one short chapters known as the Tao Te Ching have been translated more often than any other book in the world, with the single exception of the Bible. Like the Bible, the Tao Te Ching is a book whose appeal is as broad as its meaning is deep. It speaks to each of us at our own level of understanding, while inviting us to search for levels of insight and experience that are not yet within our comprehension.

What rational physicists deny, many embrace.

Not coincidentally, the title of my 2014 version of the Tao Te Ching, taken from the first passage, is Two Sides of a Coin:

Ahead of his time, Lao, Tze knew what quantum physics now tells us.

His advice aligns perfectly with the unified, multi-layered field of the Quantum Life Wheel — the unified field theory of everything which, unbeknownst for lack of yoga background, Einstein already had.

Lao Tse tells us to turn inward to transcend mortality. This outward movement is the contracting yin out-breath of return from the peripheral m=mass to Creative Source which rests at the Center of the Wheel.

Conversely, to manifest in the physical world, take an in-breathe. Follow the yang path of action, expanding from the Center hub of the Wheel with passionate conviction (e=energy) towards the outer rim of matter.

Of the book’s origins I wrote:

Legend has it that the Tao Te Ching (The Way and Its Power) was the creation of a 160-year-old statesman who, disillusioned of political corruption, left his position at the Chinese Imperial Court.

But his entrance to the high mountains was barred by a gatekeeper who demanded that before he pass on, Lao Tze write down what he had learned as a legacy to future generations.

He complied.

The result was this book.

I conclude:

Following the tradition of ancient yogic masters, Lao Tze succeeded in purifying, integrating and mastering the elements of his animal nature. This is why drawings of Lao Tze often show him riding an ox, which symbolizes a sage-like ability to harness instinctive impulses to intentional goals, the better to reach humanity’s ultimate, high mountain destination.

What Lao Tze has given us in the Tao Te Ching is a vision of humanity’s ultimate hope: the ability to maintain a sage-like balance between our instinctual, transitory nature on one hand, and our deepest, unchanging divinity, on the other – the experience of joining the manifest and unmanifest sides of creation in a seamless unity

This explains Levy’s observation:

Ironically, the quantum craziness may well provide humanity with an urgently need pathway back to our basic sanity, as if the seeming craziness intrinsic to quantum theory is the necessary corrective factor for the collective craziness of our world.

Let there be magic. Quantum magic.

PS. Molly McCord describes the astrological energies thusly:

Jan 28, 2026 Weekly Astrology and Energies: intense and transformative astrological energies are here, highlighting a powerful convergence of impacts from Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus that are all accelerating collective and personal evolution. We’re feeling the ripple effects of Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius at 3 deg, Uranus stationing direct in Taurus on Feb 3, and Neptune newly at zero degrees of Aries, all of which are catalyzing breakdowns of outdated systems, triggering emotional and nervous system responses, and pushing humanity toward irreversible change. Current global events, weather extremes, technological shifts, and economic disruptions are invitations to step into energetic mastery, conscious leadership, and empowered self-responsibility.

The Leo Full Moon at 13 degrees on Feb 1 is aligned with Imbolc, reclaiming personal power, creativity, and sovereignty within one’s own sacred life force and fire. Ultimately, this is a call to embody higher consciousness, be highly intentional with your energy and live your spiritual practices proactively.

Trust that even amid discomfort and collapse, profound new beginnings, breakthroughs, and heart-opening developments are emerging as we move deeper into February’s pivotal cycle.

Here’s how the dynamic looks in quantum perspective according to David Icke’s recent, much publicized book, The Roadmap:

And here’s what the potential consequence of a global shift away from the limitations of empirical science to the complete and accurate quantum paradigm looks like:
