Tom Campbell began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe (Journeys Out Of The Body, Far Journeys, and The Ultimate Journey) at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s where he and a few others were instrumental in getting Monroe's laboratory for the study of consciousness up and running. These early drug-free consciousness pioneers helped design experiments, developed the technology for creating specific altered states, and were the main subjects of study (guinea pigs) all at the same time. Campbell has been experimenting with, and exploring the subjective and objective mind ever since. For the past thirty years, Campbell has been focused on scientifically exploring the properties, boundaries, and abilities of consciousness.

During that same time period, he has excelled as a working scientist, a professional physicist dedicated to pushing back the frontiers of cutting edge technology, large-system simulation, technology development and integration, and complex system vulnerability and risk analysis. Presently, and for the past 20 years, he has been at the heart of developing US missile defense systems.

Tom is the "TC (physicist)" described in Bob Monroe's second book Far Journeys and has been a serious explorer of the frontiers of reality, mind, consciousness, and psychic phenomena since the early 1970s. My Big TOE is a model of existence and reality that is based directly on Campbell's scientific research and first hand experience. It represents the results and conclusions of thirty years of careful scientific exploration of the boundaries and contents of reality from both the physical and metaphysical viewpoints. The author has made every effort to approach his explorations without bias or preconceived notions. There is no belief system, dogma, creed, or unusual assumptions at the root of My Big TOE.

By demanding high quality repeatable, empirical, evidential data to separate what's real (exists independently and externally) from what's imaginary or illusory; Campbell has scientifically derived this general model of reality.

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.

The My Big TOE trilogy delivers an entirely fresh perspective, a more general formulation of physics that makes the world, its science, philosophy, theology, and you, all fit together within one consistent scientific understanding of the whole.”

— Pamela Knight, physicist

“Has the holy grail of physics finally been discovered? Tom Campbell presents a compelling case. This UNIFIED THEORY OF EVERYTHING is delivered straight up and without caveats. Read and consider the possibilities”!

— Ina Kuzman

“My Big TOE finally puts the larger reality, the whole of your experience, on a solid theoretical footing. If you’ve ever wondered about the ultimate questions of existence you must read this book.”

— Lyle Fuller, power engineer

“If you are a traditionalist, a normal member of your culture carrying all the assumptions that we are taught to never question, the My Big TOE trilogy will knock your socks off, unscrew the top of your head, and give you a whole new outlook on life.”

— Peg Rochine, Founder and CEO, Clinical Research Associates

“Unique, profound, and enriching are the words that most easily come to my mind to describe My Big TOE.”

— Trevor Goldstein, philosopher and futurist

“New concepts and unusual perspectives. Profound mysteries and ancient secrets. Good science and human ingenuity. Tom Campbell, an unlikely combination of 'Meet Mr. Wizard', Dr. Phil, and Bill Murray, takes you on a journey through inner space you will never forget.”

— Kate von Seeburg, business owner.
