Tom 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. Campbell has been experimenting
with, and exploring the subjective and objective mind ever since. For
the past thirty years, Campbell has been focused on scientifically
exploring the properties, boundaries, and abilities of consciousness.
During that same time period, he has excelled as a working
scientist, a professional physicist dedicated to pushing back the
frontiers of cutting edge technology, large-system simulation,
technology development and integration, and complex system
vulnerability and risk analysis. Presently, and for the past 20 years,
he has been at the heart of developing US missile defense systems.
Tom is the "TC (physicist)" described in Bob Monroe's second book Far Journeys. My Big TOE
is a model of existence and reality that is based directly on
Campbell's scientific research and first hand experience. It represents
the results and conclusions of thirty years of careful scientific
exploration of the boundaries and contents of reality from both the
physical and metaphysical viewpoints. The author has made every effort
to approach his explorations without bias or preconceived notions.
There is no belief system, dogma, creed, or unusual assumptions at the
root of My Big TOE.
By demanding high quality
repeatable, empirical, evidential data to separate what's real (exists
independently and externally) from what's imaginary or illusory,
Campbell has scientifically derived this general model of reality.
