Logging Onto Reality
Thomas Cambell's “My Big TOE” (MBT) offers an overarching Theory of Everything that explains all objective reality, but also subjective reality--or consciousness. Of this larger, non-physical reality Campbell has stated in lectures and interviews very bluntly, “I’ve been there…I’ve been lots and lots of places. There are lots of physical realities. This is just one.” He refers to this larger dimension of consciousness sometimes as the Reality Wide Web.
Campbell’s work isn’t your ordinary model of reality. Some readers have called MBT “The Holy Grail of Physics.” It is a guide on how to competently log onto the Reality Wide Web. Asian mystic traditions, shamanism, and other esoteric sciences look upon the universe as a web of energetic information and meditation is used to help one quiet one's mind to better access that information. MBT however drops the cultural clothing of these traditions and employs the scientific method into subjective space. Campbell also helped develop binaural beat audio technology used by The Monroe Institute to help the curious learn mediation, remote viewing, and controlled “out-of-body experiences” rapidly. All of these seemingly paranormal qualities are "natural to consciousness" under MBT.
Of course, one must find out for one's self if this is at all possible. Otherwise it’s just another cute idea. One way to achieve a direct experience with the Reality Wide Web is to attempt “remote viewing.” Remote viewing is basically nonlocal data gathering. If consciousness is part of a Reality Wide Web, then information should be available to any semi-individuated consciousness at anytime, if that consciousness is not inundated with mental chatter. Laser physicist and consciousness researcher Russell Targ (http://www.espresearch.com/ ) has said, “The great secret we learned at SRI (Stanford Research Institute) is that there is no secret. Remote viewing is actually very easy to do.”
MBT also instructs one on how to actively evolve their consciousness into more profitable states. One can imagine that the freedoms that logging onto the World Wide Web gives an individual could be eclipsed by logging onto the Reality Wide Web. Campbell will be holding lectures and workshops in California, New York City, and Hawaii.

Sounds Interesting
Theory and History
A TOE and a history of everything are different.
Regarding a TOE, Ervin Laszlo's got a pretty good one too.
On one of the links regarding the above mentioned author it reads: "Presently, and for the past 20 years, he has been at the heart of developing US missile defense systems."
I dunno 'bout you, but that statement alters my impression of his agenda, despite his work with the late Robert Monroe and others, and will cause a serious deflection of my interest in this book.
love missle?
The following was lifted off of Tom's disscusion group message board @ http://www.my-big-toe.com/phpBB34/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3646&p=9403&hilit=defense#p9403
I do not work for the Army, I work for NASA
Some years ago I worked in strategic missile defense [mostly in sensor technology development (e.g., radars) and in systems risk/vulnerability analysis). Strategic missile defense has no purpose other than to defend civilian population by destroying incoming nuclear warheads. Defensive missile technology does not apply to offensive missile systems.
30 years ago I worked for army technical intelligence -- we studied foreign military electronic systems technology to see what we could learn but primarily to find ways to counter foreign offensive systems.
I am not a pacifist -- being able to defend one’s self is sometimes necessary. One might argue that having a good defense may encourage the use of offence. That can be true but is not necessarily true -- it depends entirely on the quality of the leadership. The quality of leadership comes and goes but over the last 30 years it has been generally responsible – with some notable exceptions. Over the last 30 years, especially in strategic missile defense, having some minimal defense of civilian population has not emboldened offense.

I definitely want to read
I definitely want to read this trilogy. The fact that he has worked on missile defense systems doesn't necessarily bother me, although I myself have gone out of my way to avoid any line of work related to the military or defense. I can still listen to what he has to say.
On an unrelated note, does this comment interface just keep getting more dysfunctional for everyone else as well? The top 10 menu on the right is overlapping my text, and I will not be entirely sure what I've typed until it is posted.
Looks fine Brad! But I
