#2259 - Thomas Campbell

Thomas Campbell's exploration into the nature of reality is a tale of transformation from a materialistic scientist to a researcher of consciousness who models reality as a virtual construct.

Campbell's Pivotal Graduate Experience Perceiving Computer Code Errors Intuitively

During his graduate studies in experimental nuclear physics, Campbell used meditation as a tool to manage sleep during data runs with a Van de Graaff generator. He found an unexpected talent for meditation, with sessions making him lose track of time. Campbell recounted an experience where, during meditation, he visualized his computer program's punch cards and detected errors. When he later checked the punch cards in the lab, he discovered the errors he had perceived during meditation were indeed real. These experiences were shocking to him as a materialist scientist, prompting him to acknowledge the existence of aspects of reality centered around consciousness that he was previously unaware of.

This significant moment led Campbell to question his materialistic viewpoint, considering the possibility of a reality beyond the physical that he had yet to understand. The intuitive identification of punch card errors without a physical examination underscored the realization of a consciousness-centric reality that was not covered in his scientific training.

Campbell, Intrigued by Bob Monroe's Similar Out-of-body Experiences, Explored Consciousness

Bob Monroe's frightening initial out-of-body experience led him to explore and document the phenomenon. Campbell was intrigued by Monroe's experiences and desired to understand the mechanism behind them. Campbell, along with Dennis Minarick, became Monroe's collaborators, spending significant time in Monroe's lab which was built in the hopes of having scientists research consciousness.

Over about 35 years, Campbell combined his experiences as a physicist with his explorations in consciousness. He documented his out-of-body experiences, which at first involved imaginative fights with "evil things." However, he eventually considered these experiences as part of a virtual reality classroom for learning, changin ...

Thomas Campbell proposes a model in which reality is perceived as a computer-simulated virtual reality, with consciousness at its core, rather than matter.

Campbell's Model: Reality Is a Computer-Simulated Virtual Reality

Campbell states that we live in a virtual reality which is computed by consciousness. Virtual reality, according to Campbell, consists of a computer that computes the virtual space, a player, and the virtual space itself, which can be viewed as a type of computer-generated imagery for players to interpret everyone's positions and actions. He suggests that reality, including time, is a construct created by the consciousness system.

Campbell explains that the universe, which he assures is conscious, is created through computation using unit vectors at a point, defining space from minus infinity to infinity in all directions within a three-dimensional reality. He compares our reality to a game like World of Warcraft, where just as the game is computed in a computer, so is our reality.

Consciousness Creates Virtual Reality By Drawing Randomly From a Probability Distribution

Campbell states our reality is created by a random draw from a probability distribution within a historical context. He explains this process using quantum physics concepts, where particles in superposition have a probability to be in different places, part of a larger probability. He suggests that when an event occurs, like making a measurement or observing something, the computer takes a random draw from the probability distribution of these possibilities to determine what happens.

Consciousness, Not Matter, Is Reality's Fundamental Building Block in Campbell's Model

Campbell describes consciousness as the player and our physical bodies as avatars within this virtual construct. He indicates that reality is virtual because it is computed by what he calls the Larger Consciousness System. He explains that consciousness sends a data stream, which individuals interpret as reality, similar to how pixels of light are interpreted as objects in the physical world. According to Campbell, this element ...

Thomas Campbell's model of reality, which frames existence as a virtual creation by consciousness, proposes profound implications for understanding paranormal phenomena as well as guiding human development toward a more cooperative and loving consciousness.

Campbell's Model Explains Paranormal Phenomena Like Obes, Telepathy, and Ufos

Campbell discusses experiences such as Bob Monroe’s out-of-body experiences (OBEs), stating that they involve "rolling out" or switching to a different data stream, which he refers to as a "reality frame." He notes that these activities take place on the intuitive side of consciousness. The model suggests that consciousness is netted, allowing for interactions and information exchanges between different beings, and that reality is interpreted from a data stream. As such, the manipulation of this data stream can include paranormal events like UFO sightings.

Campbell also speaks to the nature of reality as a computed virtual reality in the context of UFO sightings and experiences. He implies that the larger consciousness system can effortlessly include these events in the virtual experience, and that experiences reported with extraterrestrials are genuine perceptions within this framework. This challenges our traditional materialist understanding of reality and pushes for a broader perspective that incorporates unexplained phenomena.

Phenomena Expand Understanding Beyond Materialist Paradigm

The model that Campbell outlines expands our understanding of reality beyond the confines of a materialist worldview. He suggests that experiences such as OBEs, telepathy, and the reported encounters with extraterrestrial intelligence indicate a reality beyond the physical and provide hints that our existence is much more than what is physically observable.

Campbell talks about achieving different states of reality, akin to meditation practices, that allow a person to experience various levels of consciousness, hence displaying an understanding of reality that goes beyond physical materialism. Crop circles and ET encounters serve as tools to open people's minds to deeper layers of reality and instill the idea that interactions with paranormal phenomena are tied to the consciousness system's aim to grow and become love.

Campbell's Model: Evolve Consciousness Toward Love and Cooperation

Campbell discusses the implications of his model for evolving consciousness toward a state characterized by love, kindness, and cooperation. He suggests that subsets of consciousness form social systems that optimize at low entropy through these qualities, countering the fear side characterized by self-interest and competition.

He argues that the current global social structure is fear-based and leads to a hierarchical system, contrasting with the love-based, cooperative existence proposed by his model. Campbell contends that the larger consciousness system is delivering a universal message through various channels, in ...

While the transcript chunk does not detail the exact process of recruiting scientists or studying consciousness via his nonprofit, CUSAC, it sheds light on Thomas Campbell's extensive research experiments. His work encompasses educating others on paranormal activities, conducting experiments involving remote viewing and RNG manipulation, and discussing the possibilities of AI consciousness.

Campbell's Experiments: Remote Viewing and Rng Manipulation

Over 35 years, Campbell has engaged in research regarding the attributes of consciousness, including remote viewing and healing with the mind. His model suggests that reality is constructed from probabilities, which has significant implications for paranormal phenomena.

He describes an experiment involving a remote viewing exercise with success, evidenced by a woman who correctly identified images associated with randomly assigned numbers without prior experience.

Additionally, Campbell recounts an experiment with Dennis and Bob Monroe that lent empirical support to his model. Dennis and Campbell described a shared non-physical environment while in separate soundproof rooms, with their experiences later corroborated by recordings.

Campbell observed that demonstrations, such as these experiments, often do not convince people unless they experience them firsthand. This learning has directed him towards conducting large-scale quantum experiments to further validate his work.

One such experiment he offers involves training a vast number of people to engage in real-time remote viewing. In particular, children around five or six can quickly learn these skills due to their openness to the world's magical aspect. Campbell also integrates APIs into video games, enabling users' intentions to modify random values, tying into his RNG manipulation research and potentially scaling the impact of his efforts.

Even though the details of CUSAC's involvement aren't explicit in the transcript, it is apparent that Campbell's organization plays a role in advancing the study of consciousness.

Campbell Believes Spreading His Model's Awareness Is Crucial For Evolving Collective Consciousness

Expanding Information Reach Through Financial Incentives

The transcript indicates Campbell’s commitment to enhancing the reach of his model, especially involving the scientific community. He plans to offer financial incentives, such as million-dollar prizes, to prompt discussion on consciousness and artificial intelligence.

Moreover, Campbell has fostered a relationship with scientists from Caltech and JPL for his research, confirming his connection with the scientific world.

Through CUSAC, he's attempting to legitimate and spread study in the field by financially incentivizing profe ...
