    "Thomas began by speaking about the fundamentals of reality. His main point was for us not to confuse a “model of reality” with “reality“. You know this immediately resonated with me, because I hear people so often speak about this or that being reality, but the truth is, it isn’t. It is just a model and one that we are actively creating.

    He than explained that today’s science does not go outside of the “Big Bang Theory” – but even believing in that alone shows us that science is based on “mystical assumption” for no one really knows what actually happened, never mind what happened before then.

    He then went on to speak how it took Einstein 23 years to find the so called “TOE”- theory of everything. That was until he came across a huge stumbling block and could go no further, as he was unable to connect the ideas of “reality” and “consciousness”. As no one until now has ventured past Einstein’s work, it was relatively speaking “left alone”, as no one knew what to do with it. That was until the serious work of quantum physics kicked in and Thomas himself.

    The main point of this first area was that no matter what – reality is personal. There is never an objective reality, no matter how much we try to tell ourselves or think there is. As soon as our brain touches any thought or observation, it is subjective. We simply are the recipients of numerous packets of data at each and every moment, and we are constant interpreters of that data, according to our own filters. Thus, this also explains why we can never truly share an “experience”, we can only share the “data” presented.

    Before I go any further, just to let you know that if you think this stuff is too “way out there”, Thomas is not the only one to embark on many of these ideas. Many in the field of quantum physics are reaching the exact same conclusions."

    I have always struggled how the big bang is just excepted, far too many assumptions made by most main stream scientists. Tom Campbell's theory only relies on 2 not dozens of assumptions, a refreshing change.
    Excellent videos thank you

    Thanks Rollo,

    This shorter version was easier to comprehend and digest than the Calgary presentation I have worked at absorbing. Now I can go back and immerse myself in the major 3 days presentation. Much Appreciated

    Im surprised by the lack of replies to this post .

    One only has to do a little exercise to see how this could be true.

    Close your eyes and pay attention to your other four senses and you will soon see that reality is our interpretation of five different inputs (those being our five senses)

    For instance you could hear a car passing by but if you couldn't see it then you would assume it was something else and thus your perception of reality would be different to one that could.

    In essence every person alive really is the result of the infinite number of probabilities of possible experiences that "SOURCE" wanted to experience. Every single variation no matter how tiny was accounted and is existing because SOURCE being perfection , need to explore every possibly which in fact it must be infinite if one ponders upon it.

    Tom Campbell has had a taste of the matrix for sure, and he is just beginning to color it.

    great great thread

    I recommend reading his book, "My Big TOE", even though it is 800+ pages LOL. It explains his Model of reality in detail. I found it very thought-provoking, as well as relevant to my own experiences, and those of others. I feel it explains the nature of reality quite clearly and precisely.
