Produktbeschreibung

Thomas Campbell, the author of this pamphlet, did not come suddenly or unnaturally to the place that must be allowed him in the history of the nineteenth century; nor was it a painless process. He was born in county Down, Ireland, February 1st, 1763, of Scotch ancestry of course. Though his father had renounced Romanism for the Church of England he long forbade his eldest son to become a minister of the Anti-Burgher Seceder Presbyterians. His training included complete courses in Glasgow University and Divinity Hall. After his probation he was nine years minister at Ahorey. More and more his heart cried out against divisions in the family of God. In 1804 at the Synod in Belfast and in 1805 at the joint meeting in Lurgan he led the movement for uniting the two bodies of Seceders. In 1806 he was sent to the General Synod in Glas- gow to plead the same cause. The reunion was effected in 1820. In 1807 he removed to America and began preaching at once in Western Pennsylvania, then a sparsely settled region of the frontier. It is impossible for those living in these happier times to realize the bitterness of the sectarian strife which he found, or the spiritual destitution, moral decay and infidel arrogance that had grown out of this fresh crucifixion of the Christ. The vigor, originality, scripturalness and brotherliness of his preaching drew many hearers. New friends constantly vied with the steadfast affection of those who had known him in Ireland. Suddenly, to his amazement, the Presbytery of Chartiers censured him for admitting other Presbyterians than Seceders to a communion service held for scattered families on the Allegheny River above Pittsburgh. On appeal the Synod removed the censure but charged him to beware of further offense. Under persistent persecution he withdrew from the Synod's jurisdiction and continued to preach independently until the events herein set forth. He brought to the supreme task of his life--the writing of this document--incorruptible faith, unconquerable hope and inexhaustible love; the fulness of learning, the poise of reflection and the ripeness of experience. With entire and unconscious effacement of self he sought the glory of Christ and the happiness of mankind. Thomas Campbell not only discovered the necessity and the basis of Christian union but he possessed the spirit of it. In the conviction that he was only a hundred years ahead of his age his message is sent forth anew. May He who is the Truth again add His blessing.

Autorenporträt

Thomas 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. Tom is the "TC (physicist)" described in Bob Monroe's second book Far Journeys.Campbell has been a serious explorer of the frontiers of reality, mind, consciousness, and psychic phenomena for the last forty years. Using his acquired mastery of the Out Of Body Experience as a research tool, Campbell focused his work toward discovering the outer boundaries, inner workings, and causal dynamics of the larger reality system. The result of this research unites the worlds of objective and subjective experience under one scientific explanation, thus, achieving the goal of generating one unified, comprehensive theory of everything (TOE) that bridges metaphysics and physics with one scientific understanding. In February of 2003, Tom published the My Big TOE trilogy (MBT) which represents the results and conclusions of his scientific exploration of the nature of existence. This overarching model of reality, mind, and consciousness explains the paranormal as well as the normal, places spirituality within a scientific context, solves a host of scientific paradoxes and provides direction for those wishing to personally experience an expanded awareness of All That Is. The MBT reality model explains metaphysics, spirituality, love, and human purpose at the most fundamental level, provides a complete theory of consciousness, and solves the outstanding fundamental physics problems of our time, deriving both relativity theory and quantum mechanics from first principles - something traditional physics cannot yet do. As a logic-based work of science, My Big TOE has no basis in belief, dogma, or any unusual assumptions.In the Fall of 2016, Tom presented a set of quantum physics experiments designed to provide evidence for or against the hypothesis that our reality is information based - or, in other words, that we are living in [that our so-called physical matter reality (PMR) is] a computed virtual reality. In the process of accomplishing that, these experiments are also designed to explore, and perhaps clearly resolve, significant conflicts between five competing perspectives of the underlying fundamental nature of quantum physics: 1) Copenhagen, 2) QBism, 3) Digital Physics, 4) Many Worlds, and 5) current standard QM theory. They may also shed some definitive light on the alleged connection between observers, consciousness, and quantum mechanics (QM).In the spring of 2017, these experiments were described in a paper, entitled: On Testing the Simulation Theory which was subsequently published in a peer reviewed scientific journal: International Journal of Quantum Foundations on June 17, 2017. Volume 3, Issue 3, pages 78-99Currently these experiments are being performed at the California Polytechnical university. First Results are expected in late 2023 or early 2024.
