Book 1: Awakening
Section 1 provides a partial biography of the author that is pertinent to
the subsequent creation of this trilogy. This brief look at the author's unique
experience and credentials sheds some light upon the origins of this extraordinary
work. The unusual associations, circumstances, training and initial
research that eventually led to the creation of the My Big TOE trilogy are
described to provide a more accurate perspective of the whole.
Section 2 lays out, logically justifies, and defines the basic conceptual
building blocks needed to construct My Big TOE's conceptual foundation.
It discusses the cultural beliefs that trap our thinking into a narrow and
limited conceptualization of reality, defines the fundamentals of Big Picture
epistemology and ontology, as well as examines the inner-workings and
practice of meditation. Most importantly, Section 2 defines and develops
the two basic assumptions upon which this trilogy is based. From these two
assumptions, time, space, consciousness, and the basic properties, purpose,
and mechanics of our reality are logically inferred.
Book 2: Discovery
Section 3 develops the interface and interaction between "we the people"
and our digital consciousness reality. It derives and explains the characteristics,
origins, dynamics, and function of ego, love, free will, and our
larger purpose. Finally, Section 3 develops the psi uncertainty principle
as it explains and interrelates psi phenomena, free will, love, consciousness
evolution, physics, reality, human purpose, digital computation, and
entropy.
Section 4 describes an operational and functional model of consciousness
that further develops the results of Section 3 and supports the conclusions of
Section 5. The origins and nature of digital consciousness are described along
with how artificial intelligence (AI), as embodied in AI Guy, leads to artificial
consciousness, which leads to actual consciousness and to us. Section 4 derives
our physical universe, our science, and our perception of a physical reality.
The mind-matter dichotomy is solved as physical reality is directly derived from
the nature of digital consciousness.
Book 3: Inner Workings
Section 5 pulls together Sections 2, 3, and 4 into a more formal model of
reality that describes how an apparent nonphysical reality works, interacts,
and interrelates with our experience of physical reality. Probable realities,
predicting and modifying the future, teleportation, telepathy, multiple physical
and nonphysical bodies, and the fractal nature of an evolving digital
consciousness reality are explained and described in detail.
Section 6 is the wrap-up that puts everything discussed in Sections 2, 3,
4, and 5 into an easily understood personal perspective. Additionally, Section
6 points out My Big TOE's relationship with contemporary science and philosophy.
By demonstrating a close conceptual relationship between this TOE
and some of the establishment's biggest intellectual guns, Section 6 solidly
integrates My Big TOE into traditional Western scientific and philosophical
thought.
Thomas Campbell began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe (Journeys out Of the Body, Far Journeys, and The Ultimate Journey) at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s where he and a few others were instrumental in getting Monroe's laboratory for the study of consciousness up and running. These early drug-free consciousness pioneers helped design experiments, developed the technology for creating specific altered states, and were the main subjects of study (guinea pigs) all at the same time. Tom is the "TC (physicist)" described in Bob Monroe's second book Far Journeys.Campbell has been a serious explorer of the frontiers of reality, mind, consciousness, and psychic phenomena for the last forty years. Using his acquired mastery of the Out Of Body Experience as a research tool, Campbell focused his work toward discovering the outer boundaries, inner workings, and causal dynamics of the larger reality system. The result of this research unites the worlds of objective and subjective experience under one scientific explanation, thus, achieving the goal of generating one unified, comprehensive theory of everything (TOE) that bridges metaphysics and physics with one scientific understanding. In February of 2003, Tom published the My Big TOE trilogy (MBT) which represents the results and conclusions of his scientific exploration of the nature of existence. This overarching model of reality, mind, and consciousness explains the paranormal as well as the normal, places spirituality within a scientific context, solves a host of scientific paradoxes and provides direction for those wishing to personally experience an expanded awareness of All That Is. The MBT reality model explains metaphysics, spirituality, love, and human purpose at the most fundamental level, provides a complete theory of consciousness, and solves the outstanding fundamental physics problems of our time, deriving both relativity theory and quantum mechanics from first principles - something traditional physics cannot yet do. As a logic-based work of science, My Big TOE has no basis in belief, dogma, or any unusual assumptions.In the Fall of 2016, Tom presented a set of quantum physics experiments designed to provide evidence for or against the hypothesis that our reality is information based - or, in other words, that we are living in [that our so-called physical matter reality (PMR) is] a computed virtual reality. In the process of accomplishing that, these experiments are also designed to explore, and perhaps clearly resolve, significant conflicts between five competing perspectives of the underlying fundamental nature of quantum physics: 1) Copenhagen, 2) QBism, 3) Digital Physics, 4) Many Worlds, and 5) current standard QM theory. They may also shed some definitive light on the alleged connection between observers, consciousness, and quantum mechanics (QM).In the spring of 2017, these experiments were described in a paper, entitled: On Testing the Simulation Theory which was subsequently published in a peer reviewed scientific journal: International Journal of Quantum Foundations on June 17, 2017. Volume 3, Issue 3, pages 78-99Currently these experiments are being performed at the California Polytechnical university. First Results are expected in late 2023 or early 2024.
