My
Big TOE, written by a nuclear physicist in the language of contemporary
Western 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, are brought together
under one seamless scientific understanding. If you have a logical,
open, and inquisitive mind - an attitude of scientific pragmatism that
appreciates the elegance of fundamental truth and the thrill of
breakthrough - you will enjoy this journey of personal and scientific
discovery. Based upon careful scientific research and logical deduction,
this is a book for all who have an interest in the nature of the
reality in which they exist. My Big TOE is not only about scientific
theory, function, process, and discovery - but also speaks to each
individual reader about their innate capabilities. Readers will learn to
appreciate that their human potential stretches far beyond the
limitations of the physical universe. This trilogy delivers the next
major scientific conceptual breakthrough since relativity and quantum
mechanics raised scientific eyebrows in the first half of the twentieth
century. No catch, no megalomania, no hypothetical wackiness, no goofy
beliefs, no unusual assumptions - just straightforward science that
better describes the totality of our experience and provides a wealth of
practical results and new understanding that can be applied personally
and professionally by scientists and nonscientists alike. This is the
real thing. My Big TOE is about life, purpose, personal significance,
physics, evolution, and the reason why. The acronym "TOE" is a standard
term in the physics community that stands for "Theory Of Everything."
Such a theory has been the "Holy Grail" of physicists for more than
fifty years. My Big TOE delivers the solution to that scientific quest
at the layman's level with precision and clarity. This book is an
adventure into the overlapping worlds of science, philosophy, and
metaphysics. It is tightly analytical and logical as all good works of
science and philosophy should be, while at the same time down to earth,
easily understandable, and full of good humor. No leaps of faith or
beliefs of any sort are required to get to where these books will take
you. Campbell did not put the "My" in My Big TOE to flaunt pride of
authorship. Nor does the "My" indicate any lack of generality or
applicability to others. The "My" was added to be a constant reminder to
you that this reality model cannot serve as your personal Big TOE until
it is based upon your personal experience. On the other hand, personal
or subjective experience is only one piece of the reality puzzle. In the
objective physical world of traditional science, My Big TOE delivers a
comprehensive model of reality that subsumes modern science, describes
our objective material reality, and is universally applicable.
Contemporary physics is shown to be a special case of a more general set
of basic principles.Physics is in the business of modeling reality.
General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and currently String Theory have
all unsuccessfully tried to produce an overarching model of our
objective reality. In the physics community, these
one-theory-explains-all reality models are called TOEs. This particular
TOE is Big because it successfully integrates metaphysics and physics
into a single unified big-picture view of our larger reality. The My Big
TOE trilogy provides a rational, logically consistent Theory Of
Everything, develops the required new paradigms to support that theory,
constructs a solid scientific foundation for future explorations to be
built upon, and explains the interfaces and connections between newly
derived knowledge and the existing database of scientific and personal
experience. It subsumes physics, redeems philosophy, and explains many
objective as well as subjective phenomena. Within My Big TOE, the
physical universe and consciousness are fully integrated into a single
scientific, tightly logical exposition that encompasses the subjective
as well as the objective, the normal as well as the paranormal, the
whole of your experience body, mind, and spirit. The My Big TOE reality
model will help you understand your life, your purpose, all of the
reality you experience, how that reality works, and how you might
interact most profitably with it.The author, in addition to his ongoing
career in a traditional hard science, spent almost thirty years
carefully researching altered states of consciousness both in and out of
formal laboratory settings. With one foot in the world of physics and
the other firmly planted in the scientific exploration of consciousness,
Campbell is in a unique position to accomplish the synthesis required
to bring all the disparate pieces of science together into a coherent
scientific whole. My Big TOE is the result of this unusual dual career
in both physics and parapsychology. Most readers find these books to be
non-technical, lively, full of humor and good fun, as well as personally
challenging and enlightening. The My Big TOE trilogy is hard hitting,
personal, controversial, and full of new ways of viewing familiar
things. It will make you laugh, wince, and reconsider what you thought
you knew about almost everything. This book is guaranteed to annoy,
anger, and offend some, as well as illuminate and emancipate others. It
will turn your personal reality upside down and inside out as it unites
mind, body, and spirit in one overarching scientific model. Our
objective physical reality is shown to be just one piece of the larger
puzzle of existence. This reality model provides a sound theoretical
basis for understanding many of the scientific, technical, and
philosophical enigmas that have been nagging at the minds of scientists
and scholars for decades. Even more importantly, My Big TOE provides the
scientific basis for finally answering many of the most unfathomable
and pressing personal questions that have challenged human understanding
since time immemorial since men and women first stared into a starlit
sky and wondered who and why they were. After reading My Big TOE, one
will understand both the universal and the personal (subjective) nature
of consciousness, reality, and Big TOEs. One will learn to appreciate
the fact that the larger reality extends beyond objective causality,
beyond the reach of purely intellectual effort, into the personal
subjective mind of each individual. The concepts in this book will
initiate, and be the catalyst for, serious scientific and philosophical
discussions in the fields of psychology, physics, philosophy,
mathematics, evolution, and biology, as well as religion, theology,
metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, and cosmology. The author chooses
to first publish these ground breaking concepts in a trade publication
rather than a technical journal because of their potential importance to
every individual, and because the nature of the material (like Darwins
theory of evolution, for example) requires broad explanations spanning
multiple academic disciplines. Because this material must develop
entirely new scientific and reality paradigms, it requires a substantial
intellectual and logical presentation to shed light upon the
limitations of normal culturally habituated patterns of thought a goal
that cannot be reached both quickly and effectively. This journey will
take you to the beginning of time. It will dive deeply into the human
heart as well as probe the limits of the human mind. My Big TOE will
redefine the significance of you, and provide new meaning to your
existence. It will help you realize and optimize your potential as well
as provide you with a wholly new, fully integrated, scientific
understanding of both your inside and outside world. My Big TOE, written
by a scientist from a Western technological viewp
