My Big Toe: Book 1 of a Trilogy Unifying of Philosophy, Physics, and Metaphysics: Awakening / Edition 1

by Thomas W. Campbell

Overview

Book 1 of the MY Big TOE trilogy. My Big TOE, written by a nuclear physicist in the language contemporary culture, unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal. The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit) including both our objective and subjective worlds is brought together under one seamless scientific understanding. 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 highly unusual work. Section 2 lays out 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 basics of Big Picture epistemology and ontology; logically infers the nature of time, space, and consciousness as well as describes the basic properties, purpose, and mechanics of our reality. Many of the concepts initiated in Section 2 are more fully explained in Book 2.

About the Author

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.

Editorial Reviews

"Reading My Big TOE has challenged my mind and widened

my horizon. Expect your worldview to radically expand and

your perspective to reach a new level of understanding."

- Ina Kuzman

"My Big TOE is utterly original, pioneering and bold. Campbell

writes with clarity and humor as he explores and answers the hard

questions in this comprehensive work about the ultimate nature

of reality and consciousness. Full of fresh and profound ideas,

you may be astonished to find that learning how reality

works actually improves the quality of your life."

- Lyle Fuller, power engineer

"The My Big TOE trilogy roared through my comfy no-brainer world like a category F5 tornado that makes you laugh ... when the dust finally settled, I was left with an incredibly clear view of how and why things are as they are."

- Peg Rochine, Founder and CEO, Clinical Research

"Unique, profound, and enriching are the words that most easily come to my mind to describe My Big TOE." - Trevor Goldstein, philosopher and futurist

"Grab a handful of highlighters, sit down in the most comfortable chair you can find and prepare yourself for the read of a lifetime." - Kate von Seeburg, business owner

"These are books that you will want to read more than once. Every read produces an entirely new experience - expands your mind and understanding in completely new directions - because afterwards you are a significantly different person."

- Pamela Knight, Ph.D., Physicist, Engineer, And Leadership Facilitator

"If you have ever asked the questions: Is this all there is? What's the purpose?, How am I related to the whole? My Big TOE's logic, grounded in science, provides unequivocal

answers that make you think. A profoundly fascinating read!" - Ina Kuzman

"Finally ... somebody has unraveled the Gordian knot, figured out the whole enchilada, and put the solution in terms that are clear and easy to understand. Now, everything makes sense!" - Peg Rochine, Founder and CEO, Clinical Research Associates

"New concepts and unusual perspectives. Profound mysteries and ancient secrets. Good science and human ingenuity. Tom Campbell, an unlikely combination of 'Meet Mr. Wizard, ' Dr. Phil, and Bill Murray, takes you on a journey through inner space you will never forget. - Kate von Seeburg, business owner

"My Big TOE finally puts the larger reality, the whole of your experience, on a solid theoretical footing. If you've ever wondered about the ultimate questions of existence you must read this book." - Lyle Fuller, power engineer

"The My Big TOE trilogy delivers an entirely fresh perspective, a more general formulation of physics that makes the world, its science, philosophy, theology, and you, all fit together within one consistent scientific understanding of the whole."

- Pamela Knight, Ph.D., Physicist, Engineer, And Leadership Facilitator

"No one interested in science, spirituality, or the nature of reality and consciousness can afford to ignore this important, bold and utterly original book. The 'psi uncertainty principle' alone is one of the most significant ideas ever put forward, period."

- Lyle Fuller, power engineer
