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.

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.

WOW!

Once you get your head around it’s basic concepts then this will blow your consciousness back to its primordial state. That’s already happened trillions of times....

Prodigious Profundity.

So this book is crazy dense, and focus demanding. It’s also comical and easily digestible. Written for intellects, and peons alike. I tried skimming from the beginning a few years back and realized I didn’t have the proper focus. But finally found the right timing in my life.

I’ve been slowly chipping away at it on audiobook as I put my twin sons down for their daily nap. Listening and re listening to every little section until I’ve adequately understood each concept.

I actually flipped to around chapter 25 to get into the meat and potatoes before going back to the beginning. It was helpful for me to dive in that way. There’s a slow waiting line to get to the goods, so if you must, just find a section that grabs you, and pulls you in. Then once you’re on the rollercoaster just enjoy the ride.

It has come at a time where my vast potential but dim consciousness were in need of a major organizational overhaul in my physical, digital, and mental life in order to maximize my productivity and reduce my chaotic entropy. This is merely a fractal replication of the greater patterns of evolution that AUO (absolute unbounded oneness) and all other subsets of consciousness, in all nested dimensions, naturally go thru. (or reach their demise, i.e. increase entropy) so literally as I’ve been listening to and absorbing this knowledge it’s simultaneously actualizing in my very physical matter reality. ( these concepts will be better understood to you once you’ve begun reading this book ) if at first it doesn’t click, don’t fret. I believe this knowledge must come with the proper timing. So just hold onto it and try again anytime it calls. If you’ve found this book then you’re on the right track.

Wow very good beginning to understanding

When we are children I’m sure we all had these experiences of seeing, hearing, or being exposed to non physical matter reality. More and more validation coming

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 :)
