The book is designed to unfold his model of reality slowly, June 7, 2008 By Donna Aveni Warner (Burgundy, France) – See all my reviews With humor and high spirits, Tom Campbell informally shares with you in his Trilogy, who he is, and how he started on the journey that led to his Big TOE. Campbell’s Big TOE, which refers to nothing less than a Theory of Everything, stands on firm ground.
In a bigger picture of our existence than has ever been presented, My Big TOE weaves Philosophy, Physics, and Metaphysics together to create a model of reality through which you can begin your journey towards a higher quality of consciousness. Campbell’s books are derived from his own experiences with altered states of consciousness, his work and experiments with respected people in this field, and the objective verification of the results. The author shows how previously, Philosophy, Physics, and Metaphysics clashed in their isolated quests for answers to the nature of reality, and that by setting the camera of our conscious mind to a wide-angle lens, we can better understand reality in the larger sense. This is not necessarily an easy read,the book is designed to unfold his model of reality slowly.You cannot expect to breeze through concepts involving the larger reality as you would a novel.The results and the rewards are worth a slow read. The personal asides that the author provides enrich the reading process, and the Trilogy format allows the complex subject matter to be more accessible to everyone. From those mildly curious to the potentially eternally grateful, please note: from whatever level you personally begin, you cannot go back to exactly the way you previously viewed reality – this Trilogy will reach the core of your being, and you will certainly glean from it something of lasting value. The true value, however, will lie in your own experiences and explorations, the author cautions, as the Trilogy provides only a framework for your personal quest in search of a higher quality of consciousness and awareness. While personal effort is expected to achieve results, I appreciate the lengths the author has gone to in order to relate the processes, and the why, of how he arrived at his Big TOE. I like the why of things, and there is plenty offered here: * Why you are here and the “point and meaning of both physical and non-physical existence” These are but a few of the answers and profound insights the author presents in this Trilogy. The noble goals of evolving our consciousness toward the positive side, exploring alternate realities, improving the quality of our being, our life, and our planet, are a challenge the author inspires us to take on. For all of these reasons and many more besides, I cannot recommend this Trilogy highly enough! Big Picture Tutorial, March 27, 2010 By Jcsz (USA) – See all my reviews This book is not for the faint hearted. It had to be huge to cover the concept so thoroughly. This is written by a left brained scientist and it reflects that. Campbell has written about his first hand experiences and investigations and come to his conclusions in a very scientifically logical report. He also knows that his theory of everything is by definition subjective and invites us to go there ourselves and come to our own conclusions. His Matrix type computer program analogies are very correct and pan out well with experiential evidence, but he also acnowleges that other perceptions of the same phenomena will produce equally valid interpretations on an emotional level or any other, depending on the mountain from which you choose to view. The point is to get there up on to the mountain in the first place. Make your own theory of everything and know that it is always going to be subjective, yet will guide you to a higher mountain where you can see further and adjust your theory to guide yet other choices on your path. He encourages you to realize that there are paths up the mountain, that it is worth climbing that mountain, that there is even a mountain there to climb, and that there is help along the way. Bon Voyage fellow travellers!
Difficult–But Worth Reading, January 31, 2008 By Rick Ansgar (usa) – See all my reviews I’ve been reading esoteric, philosophical, and books about reality for a long time. I was already knowledgeable about much of what is in this book. Nevertheless, I still found it quite difficult to get read. I think it was mainly due to the style of writing. It’s really hard to tell to whom the author intended to write–who’s his audience? The number of permutations he renders a single point can boggle one’s mind, at times. This is the most laborious quality of the book. It isn’t until you reach the last 3rd of the book that he gets into some hearty information about reality. And if one is going to understand the author’s claims about reality being virtual, I recommend reading elsewhere by searching for digital physics, physics as a virtual reality, evolutionary artificial intelligence, digital evolution, etc. There’s a good bit on the net covering these, which will make this author’s explanations make more sense.
Overall, the larger picture the author reveals about reality was enlightening, and even expanded my own views by a good margin. For my taste, the book could have been at least one-half its size, if it were correctly edited, and the content should have been more focused on the more important matters. There were way too many asides and shifts in style of writing, which bloated the book and bored this reader. But it’s well worth the read, if you have the patience; and do expect your concepts of reality to be heartily challenged. And that’s a good thing! |
