In 1981, Paul Levy had a life-changing spiritual awakening, in which he began to wake up to the dream-like nature of reality. During the first year of his spiritual emergence, he was hospitalized several times, diagnosed with having had a severe psychotic break. He was told that he had a chemical imbalance and had manic-depressive illness. Fortunately, he was able to quickly extricate himself from the medical and psychiatric establishment. In 1993, he started to teach about what he was realizing.
