Nothing I See Means Anything: Quantum Questions, Quantum Answers

by David Parrish

This book, full of lucid, penetrating insights into consciousness, definitively closes the gap between mind, matter, and cosmic intelligence. Parrish elegantly identifies the pathways to highest consciousness—a place we all are but don’t know it.

Starting with a layman’s examination of Freud’s psychology, the author moves seamlessly through existentialism, cognitive systems, quantum physics, and mysticism to arrive at his unique synthesis of them all.

If you are just entering the realm of quantum physics and the debates of consciousness, stay away from this book. If you are more experienced and educated on the subject, it still may be hard for you to digest, but it's worth a shot. It's basically a very long winded and convoluted way of saying that we, has humankind, can govern the universe by our thoughts. That we project from different levels of consciousness onto our physical world, whether those thoughts be true or false. The concept of unity is also largely meaningful in this book, stating that consciousness and the universe (on the quantum level) are "one."
Edit: it also took me 1 month to read this because I definitely don't have the IQ to understand all the concepts in this book without re-reading the same paragraph over and over.
Edit(2): Yes so i've decided to go back and reread/study some passages of the book i've saved. Reading this for a second time is much easier and a lot more enjoyable. If you can get through the convoluted nonsense during your first read, the second time round will be much more enlightening. This made me change my rating from 3 to 4 stars.

I could not read past the second chapter. I swallowed the first chapter with great difficulty: the role of psychoanalysis in achieving consciousness but I gave up when the second chapter talks about existential psychology. As a disciple of Skinnerian psychology, I cannot take so many abstract concepts in one sitting.

Great synthesis of psychology, spirituality and physics encompassing principles from A Course in Miracles.
