This is in stark contrast to the materialist philosophy that matter is primary, that it is all there is, and that consciousness is illusory.
Convergence
The Urantia Book has much to say that is convergent with and also expands the thinking of many quantum physicists about the role that consciousness plays in what we see as "reality."
The further science has extended our knowledge of what matter really is, so the reality of that matter has tended to disappear. At the level of the proton we still have three quarks that might represent something solid and "real," but 50% of the momentum of the proton belongs to particles that pop in and out of existence by borrowing energy from what is named the vacuum.
What will be left?
It is doubtful that the quarks will retain their "solid" status for much longer. Even now, scientists at the HERA accelerator at Hamburg are colliding anti-electrons and protons and have evidence for something new.
The Urantia Book tells us all matter is energy but what is energy other than movement and the power to move? So is it all in the mind of God?
