My Big TOE: Awakening

Book One of a Trilogy Unifying Philosophy, Physics, and Metaphysics

De: Thomas Campbell

Narrado por: Thomas Campbell

My Big TOE: Awakening, written by a nuclear physicist in the language of 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.

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.

When you are ready, this book is mind-blowing.

This was the book that gave me the final push beyond the obvious objective reality we all live in. There is so much more to life and existence, and ironically that knowledge and the awakening that arises from that knowledge makes objective reality a lot more fun and productive.

Tom Campbell is giving us insights into the game - the big picture. How you play is up to you. This book is for everyone, but not just anytime. You have to be prepared to expand your horizons - suspend your prejudices and beliefs.

There is a ton of material on the web from Tom Campbell. He isn't selling anything. He is very generous with his teaching on the web.Explore there to see if this book makes sense for you right now.

Personally I love Tom Campbell's narration and humor, but watching his videos online will give you an idea if it works for you. As one reviewer said, this book is not sufficient to understand Tom Campbell's Big Toe - his theory of everything. That is not a valid criticism in my mind. Tom Campbell just wants to get started on giving people the background so that each of us can develop our own, personal big toe.

Whether we recognize it or not, we all carry in our heads a theory of everything, which guides our thoughts, actions and intents. Tom Campbell simply wants to help each of us expand that theory. For me, he has blown up my previous theory of everything and I intend to spend the rest of my life expanding and developing my own, personal Big Toe.

Thank you Tom - I look forward to your narration of the next two books. And BTW - Tom Campbell is not relation, as far as I know. I have never met the man, although I certainly would like to.

Inspirational and Enlightening!

This is the science I have been waiting for. My Big Toe will definitely help those who are ready to take there own understanding and explore further. Open your mind and soar!

loved it!

I absolutely enjoyed this being read by Thomas Campbell himself. what a wonderful journey...I can't wait to listen to the rest of the trilogy.

Enigmatic adventure

Great story. Great narrator and writer. Tom is the man, bringing science to the edge and beyond and back again.

Mixed feelings

Hated to review a trilogy by first book. However, it would be nice to have a different voice read the book with more enunciation.
The story is good but targeted to “the west” and not to conscious entities capable of hearing :)

excellent if you are curious about nature of reali

This author is the real deal. I watched some YouTube videos and then was inspired to buy the books. I read all three and this is the kind of book that you can read over and over and still glean more insight.
for that commenter who said it wasn't enough science, he can simply go to Tom's website that explains and talks about the science experiments he's doing and the science behind it. but this book was not written for scientific journal. It was written for all of us. So I'm thankful and I have a bit of a science background and I'm thankful there's not more " science" in it. This is a book that is about concepts-- Not scientific discovery.

Very Awakening..I

I will now continue this journey by starting book two of this trilogy. Thank you.

Many parallels to the sages

I initially very much enjoyed this book. The author's open mind and willingness to share his non material reality experiences were illuminating. I could relate them to my own experiences as a child. However,I unfortunately came across a problem I often have with athiests,an unrelenting and insulting assault on religious belief. UNRELENTING. If you don't believe in God,why harp,and harp,and harp,and harp,and harp,and harp on it? Why should you care? I'll never understand it. It stole my focus and turned me off. It was inconsistent with the intellectualism of the rest of the book. The second book is even more lousy with it.
I did finish the book and will still complete the trilogy, because I am a compleist.
I found many of the author's theories in direct parallel to works of the sages. Especially in regard to corporiality of the beings with which he interacted in non material reality. Dear author,if you're reading this. You can get your point across without alienating readers who believe differently than you do. Truly.

My Big TOE: Snoozing

Even though the book has plenty of interesting ideas, none of them are particularly new and none are presented very well.

If you are familiar with the basic concepts of Hinduism, Buddhism, Quantum Mechanics, Information Theory, Cognitive Neuroscience, The Monroe institute and AI, then you will find no new concepts to deal with. On the other hand, if these topics are foreign to you, they will usually be presented without reference to their original sources. Nonetheless, they can expand your awareness of the existence of these concepts and might stimulate further study.

Unfortunately the book is not written for the well informed reader and tends to ramble and becomes very repetitive. The author keeps promising that this rambling wreck is all going to make sense at some point but by the end of book two, I no longer believed the author's promise.

Despite his excessive wordiness the author often fails to clearly define his terms. For example, he uses the word entropy a lot without ever giving a clear definition of entropy and never mentioning the concept's connection to Shannon's Information Theory and nonequilibrium physics. He does mention the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics but not in a way that makes it clear as to what entropy means to him. The author does define his use of the term consciousness as fundamental awareness, which to him also extends to silicon based computers.

The author also has a penchant for creating acronyms that really don't help make the work more concise nor do they clarify the subjects being addressed. I had to stop the book several times and search for an acronym's meaning in order to understand his point.

For anyone just beginning to realize that REALITY is a concept and not actually what it appears to be, this book might be helpful. However, if you have already gone down the rabbit hole, this book might strike you as tedious.

The Theory of Everything ~ A Must Read

This is Body, Mind, Soul from a scientific angle. Deep but not too deep if you have a desire to learn the rest of the story of life. I love this guy and all those that have this desire to open the minds of humanity to the concept there is more to life than what your government tells you to think. Oops, that may have come out negative. This book teaches you how to choose not to focus on the negative and learn that anything is possible. Thank you, Tomas Campbell, for sharing your wisdom of ascension.
