A review of one of Tom's workshops as written by Evita Ochel September, 2009 for her Evolving Beings Blog Site.
My Big TOE Author Thomas Campbell’s Toronto Workshop
If the name Thomas Campbell is new to you at this point, allow yourself to get to know, one of the most prominent beings on this planet today.
Thomas Campbell is a nuclear physicist currently working for NASA, and while this already can be considered an amazing feat for a being, it is not even where the most of his prominence lies.
Not only is he a physicist, author and speaker, but he can easily be regarded as one of the most prominent scientists in history. To give you a quick idea, Thomas Campbell picks up where Einstein left off and goes much further than most scientists have ever imagined. He successfully brings the worlds of physics, metaphysics and spirituality together. He has used his work in the field of physics to prove and embark on something much greater than only a handful before him - the ideas of consciousness and the nature of our reality.
Thus it was with great pleasure, excitement and gratitude that I attended his 2 day workshop when he came to Toronto at the end of August this year - 2009. The theme for this special event was Physics, Metaphysics and Your Place In The Greater Reality.
It was a very special opportunity to be able to hear this man speak in person and share in his findings on what he has dedicated his life’s work to.
Hence in this article, I would like to give you a brief synopsis of the first day of that event. And I say brief, because I cannot possibly introduce you here to everything that I have learned, even in that one day. It will take a few articles to really absorb all that, as literally every line out of this man’s mouth deserves its own attention and thorough analysis. However, I still want to introduce you to as much as I can of Thomas’ mind blowing work here from that workshop.
Background on Thomas Campbell
Although I just gave you a small glimpse into who Thomas is, I want to expand a little more so that you have a better understanding of his work, before I share with you about his workshop.
Thomas is not your typical scientist in that the limits of this reality do not stop him from probing further into what is possible. However, like all other scientists, he is about questioning, research, experimentation and proof. And with this in mind, he has managed to see beyond the scope of this physical reality.
Despite getting the typical schooling required for a nuclear physicist, Thomas was always interested in more and pushing the limits of what can be seen. Shortly after graduating, he began his work with Bob Monroe, founder of the Monroe Institute for the exploration of consciousness, where he began experimenting with altered states of consciousness.
In early 2000, after more than 30 years of work, Thomas finally put together a trilogy of his work in his ground breaking book - My Big TOE (Theory of Everything).
Today, while working for NASA part time, Thomas gives lectures all around the world sharing his findings with others. And this is how I was fortunate enough to get to know more about his work, while attending one of his lecture’s, which happened to be in Toronto. Thomas was also recently featured in the thought provoking documentary about death and the afterlife, called The Path: Afterlife.
The Toronto Workshop Day 1
The first day of the event took place on August 22, 2009. It was hosted by MBT events, from which Keith and Donna did a superb job organizing the event and showing superb hospitality. It started with Thomas giving us a short introduction and background as to who he is and how he came to be where he is today (mostly as I explained above). But here is something that blew me away right from the start. Not only has Thomas experimented with alternate realities through out of body experiences, but today and for some time now, he has been able to easily experience this and much more, through his conscious will. He shared with us some of his experiences briefly with out of body experiences (OOBE) and stated that the most important thing to understand is that an OOBE experience really has nothing to do with the body and everything to do with the mind. Naturally it should be called the “out of mind experience”, but as he explained in a joking fashion, our society is not likely to take well to that.
On this first day of the 2 day event, he made us aware that it will be heavily theory and science based, as he has to explain everything in terms of what lead him to find what he did, in order of course for people to know and grasp where he is coming from.
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. Thus at this time Thomas also went on to explain in detail the famous “double slit experiment“, which explains a lot about the nature of atoms and how they change based on the reality they are in, or the observer.
Another major idea explained by Thomas was the idea of entropy. Not being a physicist myself, this was actually the first time since some point in high school perhaps, that I heard this word and had gotten such an elegant explanation of it. Basically, entropy is the level of organization of any system. The lower the entropy the more organized a system is, the higher the entropy, the more chaotic a system is. And guess what the lowest state of entropy is…love. This is why, ever time there was a lot of science put forth by Thomas, it was brought right back full circle, through the incorporation of everything we already know about spirituality. Hence, if nothing else, I credit Thomas as a genius, for so elegantly bringing science and spirituality together as one.
Thomas then went on to explain the attributes and origins of consciousness, which was a highly enlightening topic on its own. The two main points here were that consciousness is always evolving, reaching for lower states of entropy (though it is possible to de-evolve) and secondly even though we express consciousness or the universe as being infinite, nothing real is actually infinite. The main reason why we have such a hard time explaining or understanding this “system” or this “reality” is because we are in it. We have to get out of it, and look back to really be able to observe and interpret properly.
The next ideas discussed were those about generating experience, our individual existence and purpose. Here Thomas gave a beautiful definition of our purpose and the idea of God. Basically the purpose of this system, of our being is to “evolve towards becoming love“.
There was also a truly mind blowing discussion about time. Thomas explained how time works in that one can see this system as having several “databases” - all of which by the way we can access ourselves. There is the probable future database (remember the future is never set, but constantly changing based on our choices and energies), the past database and the unactualized database. This is where he mentioned the Akashic records and why this a completely normal and real phenomenon. It just takes a person who is able to access this database, to uncover the data there (all of us can learn of course).
Beyond these awesome explanations and a lot of science in between to back them up, Thomas then went on to talk about the mechanics of the larger reality. Here is where things got even more fascinating. Thomas explained that this reality here and now can be viewed somewhat like a “video game”, in that all the possible choices of the player are already accounted for and only that which is observed at any given moment is seen. This whole topic requires a much larger discussion, which I cannot cover here at the moment. Basically that which we do not see at any given moment is not rendered. Sure you may think it is there, and really convince yourself that you know it is there, but until you actually walk past say, the tree that you are thinking of, it does not exist. Is your head spinning yet? Trust me, I know. Being there and having all of this explained with proof was an experience I will never forget.
Most importantly, this also ties in to another phenomenon. As long as something in the past is not measured, Thomas explained that it can still be changed, or influenced. This is based on an idea of the “uncertainty principle”. Much easier to understand with this is of course the idea that we are constantly changing and influencing the future - it is not predefined like some people think.
Thomas fully explained Einstein’s theory of relativity and with this in mind talked about the work involved between our brain and our consciousness. Most importantly we have to understand that always our consciousness leads and the body follows. This can help explain a lot in terms of why and how some people get physical diseases and others heal. In this he even talked about cases like Alzheimer’s and brain damage patients for us to understand that the consciousness is never “injured”, it is the brain (i.e. the machinery) that is unable to process as needed.
The last section of the day was an introduction to experiential exercises. At many times Thomas stressed that for any of us to really “know anything”, we must experience it for ourselves. At this point the information changes from being someone else’s to being our own. Over the 2 days he lead us through 5 exercises:
1. Practicing focus intent without processing
2. Parallel processing, which is switching between realities
3. Diagnosing and healing of others or self (on location or remotely)
4. Manipulating Time
5. Remote viewing (viewing an event in another time frame)
Most of the exercises happened in the day 2 session, however Thomas went on to explain the processes in day 1, stating most importantly that in order to be “successful” with these, first and foremost one has to be open and allow it to happen, one must have intent and provide no analysis. Sounds easy, right? Well not quite. You see the worst to get in the way here and why more people cannot just switch out of their bodies and between realities, is this notion of analysis. It is hard, for some that is, and takes practice to switch off our analytical minds.
Thomas finished the day off with talking more about the ideas of what actually is “real”? So many of us are so convinced that what we see and touch around us is solid and real, but in actuality, and pretty much any scientist knows this, nothing is really solid. All matter is made up of large spaces with quickly vibrating atoms, which we only see as condensed into various forms. And all of that came out of our “intent“. As Thomas said “results mirror intent“. He also touched upon here the ideas of death and illness and how to understand and see that neither is “bad”. As well, he explained a very important notion, that in becoming a healer, or having the ability to heal, does not mean going around and healing everyone who is ill in any way. This is a huge infringement on their free will and on the rules of the system. Some people have created and/or actually need these “experiences” to do the learning they came here to do, and we, especially as healers need to respect that.
The session then finished off with a question and answer period from the audience, and as you can imagine there were lots of great questions.
Personal Commentary
Although the whole weekend felt like I was swept away into another reality (no pun intended), the most amazing part was that here was a phenomenal scientists offering proof for all matters of the metaphysical.
I mean I speak about consciousness, I teach about it and I live it, and while I know it experientially, here was this man proving it from a very solid and credible scientific perspective. If that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is. And I know some of us who really “feel” this “stuff” don’t need any scientific proof for it - after all you either “know” it within or you don’t. But the truth of the matter is, most of our world today is still geared toward having scientific proof for any and every claim made. So this is where I think what Thomas has found and brought to life, becomes that much more valuable.
In fact, I think because his science background is so strong and he is literally in the same playing field, in terms of how we regard Einstein today, that I feel his work is the opening of a huge door for many future mainstream scientists. The world may be slow to adapt to big changes and radical claims - after all just think how the idea of the Earth being round was received, but today we live in a more open and rapidly evolving time than ever before. It is thus because of this, that I believe Thomas will not have to wait years or until after his death to have his work taken seriously - it is already being taken very seriously today, by many around the world and causing them to probe even further.
Perhaps I resonate so strongly with his work due to my own scientific background. Or perhaps it is because I “feel”, literally feel what he is saying as I live out my life each day. I am not sure. What I do know, is I cannot tell you how grateful I am for attending this event, getting to know Thomas, his work and being able to expand my own awareness of what is, thanks to his findings. I feel that Thomas is not only so eloquent, but also has a true gift for expanding our minds to see more than we ever thought possible.
Now when you see Thomas at a speaking engagement for the first time, the first ideas that will probably come to your head are that of a “serious scientist”. The last thing one would ever think is that this man has regular out of body experiences and experiments with alternate realities. Well he does, and when you hear him speak, your jaw just starts dropping lower and lower, while your brain is literally expanding from the information coming at you.
Ultimately, what really did it for me where Thomas’ workshop and research is concerned, is that he repeatedly states “Don’t believe everything I say. But at the same time don’t disbelief what I say. Find your own theory of everything.”
And this is what he is ultimately about. He has tapped into findings about the universe, life, death and alternate realities in great depth. But ultimately they are from his perspective and based on what his main finding is, that there are numerous realities, what we find for ourselves may not be identical to his. We each decipher things through our own filters, through our own perspectives. And this is the biggest reason why Thomas invites each and everyone of us to find our own theory of everything, because to a large extent, we create it ourselves.
So on this first day, Thomas prepared us that it would be full of theory and indeed it was, but I have to tell you it was so, so good that I didn’t want the day to end. Day 2 was going to be more about applications and experiential learning through some exercises.
The Toronto Workshop Day 2
The second day of the workshop began with an even more elevated energy of excitement, as we were all eagerly anticipating to learn more from Thomas, as well as try some of the experiential exercises that he introduced us to on the previous day. Would we be able to travel to different realities? Would we be able to do a distance diagnosis and healing? Only time would tell.
Thomas increased the excited energy in the room, as he reiterated that, unlike the previous day, which was all about theory, today would be all about application. And not that any of us minded the theory, but of course there is perhaps nothing better than experiencing something amazing and out of this world for yourself.
He started talking about how we can all experience the “larger reality“. In this common reality that most of us are used to, most of us do not care much about asking the “how’s” and “why’s” about the nature of things. We wake up, take in the data that is right before our eyes as we go through our day and that is about it for the majority. As long as we think that someone “else” knows, we are satisfied. What Thomas does however, is he inspires and encourages each one of us to be the questioner of our reality. In fact, if we want to go beyond this reality, if we want to get “out of our minds“, we have to probe deeper because this will have a big effect on what we can accomplish.
So naturally, the first question on everyone’s mind was, “can everybody do it?” - that is access and become orientational in non-physical reality? To this Thomas’ answer was that yes, indeed everybody can, but not many people do. This is of course not surprising. Just think of playing some sport or music instrument. Of course everybody can do it, but only a few people are actually inclined to practice enough and stick with it, to get some significant results. It is the same with traveling out of our body (mind) and experiencing alternate realities.
At this point, Thomas gave a lot of practical advice and walked us through the background of how to understand such concepts, before we become ready to attempt anything. Some of his advice included the following:
1. Make experiencing alternate realities a natural thing, not a goal or some forced experience. The point at any given time Thomas stated, is just “to grow” and we can easily do that without ever experiencing the paranormal. As we grow or evolve, we natural decrease our entropy.
2. Going out of body does not equal a better life. You have to be happy with what you have created in the physical here and now. The spiritual world, will not magically make your life better or take all your problems away.
3. You are not failing in the game of evolution, if you don’t master or experience the “out of body” experience. Yes, it can enhance our evolution in many ways, but it is in no way mandatory for evolution. This again goes back to what was said in #1.
4. Learn to meditate. This is not something we have to do, as it is still “just a tool”, but it is usually good for beginners to examine their own consciousness.
5. There are no short cuts. If we are serious about this, we have to develop it as a process, it is not a “one time magical experience”. Having said this, Thomas explained that some people experiment with drugs or alcohol to get into a certain state, which they claim helps them achieve an OOBE. This however, as Thomas explained is counterproductive. You may get in and out of this one particular “heightened” state, but in the end you still have no idea how it works, how to be fully oriented in the non-physical and there is no room for growth.
6. It takes practice and so we need to have patience. As stated earlier, yes everyone can do it, but the main reason why most people don’t is because we get bored, dismayed, disillusioned and just plain and simple don’t stick with it long enough to see results. I know this comes as no surprise as we do live in a society based on instant gratification.
7. Don’t rush to the paranormal. We may get to one point of success, get our egos all wrapped up in it and actually stunt our growth, as we get stuck in one spot.
8. Fear nothing - become fearless. What you find there, will be strongly influenced by you. Remember, we create our realities, so if you fear big, green monsters, guess what you will most likely find there…big, green monsters. Hence, we should get over all of our fears, if we are to have a positive and profound experience.
9. Leave thinking and analysis out of it. As soon as we start to interpret the data, we start to lose it, in terms of the depth of the experience. It is normal that we will even question whether it is “real” or our mind is simply “making it up”. With this in mind, we also have to work on eliminating our beliefs. This is of course one of the areas that can take quite a bit of practice for some.
10. Expect nothing and hope for nothing. This all ties into the above ideas of leaving our thinking and analytical mind out of it. We can analyze all we want after, but not before and during. Just observe and collect the data, and use your intellect only to direct the experience. Most importantly too, don’t judge or compare, whether it be our own experiences or to those of others.
11. Gather data and formulate the evidence. This is especially critical to do in the beginning for two reasons: 1) that you know it is not just your mind making it up and 2) that eventually you have your own “proof” for these experiences. At this point you will know this is “real” not just in theory, but in an experiential way.
12. A low entropy consciousness can easily access non-physical realities (NPR) with little effort. Hence focus more on lowering your entropy here and now, instead of getting into the NPR - i.e. remember, moving towards becoming love. The NPR’s will usually follow naturally on their own.
13. Don’t take NPR literally. In both this physical reality and the non-physical reality data is objective, but how we experience it, is subjective. Hence, two people can go to the same “place” out of body and have two completely different experiences. Thus, the more experience we have here and there, the better we are at interpreting that data correctly.
14. Don’t bring back details, but concepts, feelings, ambiance, etc. There, all communication is telepathic, lumps of information, rather than linear patterns. Also, understand that, when we come back and try to communicate it with others, we have to use words, which are limiting. Hence, our experience actually loses a lot of the accuracy with which we experienced it.
15. Don’t try to duplicate anyone else’s experience. Others have their own filters, metaphors and perspectives of what and how they see, experience and translate. You have your own. Thus be open to your own unique experience. Again this goes back to #10 about not having set hopes or expectations.
16. Stay skeptical. Don’t just take the first experience as absolute. The ultimate goal of these experiences is personal growth, not just to have some “cool” experience. Stay open, stay skeptical and experiment in various ways, to really prove things to yourself.
Thomas then talked about the influence of “others” - meaning things like “spirit guides”. He explained that we are the ones who give them names, features and imagine them as beings, but in reality they are so much more than that and so much more beyond all of that. In this segment, he explained how the guides work with us, how they help us, how they offer us training, etc. He also explained how we get assigned guides, based on our levels of evolution and so much more when it comes to this topic, including ideas about our higher selves.
Thomas than addressed something which I am sure all of us wonder about, but few are brave enough to ask about, that being - negative beings. Indeed Thomas acknowledged that just like in this physical reality there are negative entities, so too they exist in the non-physical. Where as most of us evolve, as we grow toward love and thus lower our entropy, others can actually manipulate this system by growing despite not lowering their entropy. Sounds worse than it actually is. Thomas explained, that this is a very limited growth and is eventually self-limiting and weak. Thus, no negative entity has any power over you, unless you allow them. They can only affect you if you have fear. This again is not very different from what happens in this physical reality.
Bottom line, as manipulative as some beings can become whether in the physical or non-physical, the overall system is growing towards love, towards order and thus lowering entropy. Hence, the system does not help or support things that are counterproductive to this idea. The benefit for the greater good is always considered first. That is why it is no surprise that from the beginning of time, no matter the source, we always hear that “goodness, light, or love will prevail over darkness or evil“. It may sound funny, but in such a system it is “scientifically” impossible to be any other way. Thomas also talked about some do’s and don’ts (as suggestions of course) for making contact with other beings (in the non-physical).
Thomas then went on to cover the topic of remote viewing, diagnosing, healing and parallel processing. There are two, really important things that I think are really worth mentioning here, that Thomas explained when it comes to healing. First, we do not need to know the person’s full name, address, or any other details. Nor does it matter where in the world the person is. The only thing that matters is a “unique address“. Remember, everything operates based on thought and the vibrations that follow from it. So if someone tells you I have an aunt Margaret who doesn’t seem to be doing so well, that is all you need to know to heal her. Your thought of this person’s “aunt Margaret” sends the energy to her. The second thing, is that Thomas said “you can heal yourself, just as easily as you can heal others“. I really resonated with this, because it is what I believe deep within, yet almost all other teachers that I heard from, especially energy or alternative health healers, claim that one cannot heal themselves.
He finished off this section, before we fully dived into the experiential exercises with a beautiful conclusion - stay balanced and stay present based. As fun and exciting as all these non-physical experiences seem, we have to remember that we came here out of our own free will to experience the physical and thus we have to respect this realm and not get caught up in the non-physical. Similarly, through practice and as we open up, we may be tempted to obsess about tapping into the future to control events or if it is healing that we excel at, trying to heal everyone. Both of these actually not only violate free will (both ours and others), they diminish the purpose and perfection of this present system.
We, like others came here for a meaningful purpose. While most of us barely know what our own purpose and lessons are in this lifetime, we cannot assume to know that of another. Thus, we need to respect that they chose their own experiences, no matter how those may seem and hence this is why it is important to grow and evolve constantly forward, not master one thing, attach to it and get stuck. This is another reason why Thomas says, he himself does not “abuse” the system in any way, such as going around healing everyone or controlling all of his future events. It just belittles the greater purpose of the all.
Throughout the day of course, we had a chance to practice several exercises. Some of which included remote viewing in the past and future, diagnosing and healing.
The day ended off with another amazing question and answer session.
Personal Commentary
Although the two days were quite different in terms of topics, depth and focus - both were equally valuable, informative and if I may say again - mind blowing!
While I resonated with so much of what Thomas explained in terms of the science on the first day - the physics. The second day held its own worth and incredible value, as we dissected and dived into the metaphysics. The theme of larger reality was beautifully interwoven throughout the entire weekend, I found.
One of my most favorite parts of this second day, was being able to gain knowledge and perspective of the metaphysical not only from someone who has so much personal and regular experience in this area, but who is also so grounded and science based. Don’t get me wrong I am not discrediting the work of numerous mediums, intuitive guides and healers out there, but I am sure you can relate, that having a perspective from such an angle, definitely provides for an even broader experience.
Another part that really resonated with me was when Thomas went a little more into talking about alternate realities, more so from a practical side this time. He mentioned dreams and how those are all just as real as what you and I experience here, they are just an alternate reality. Now having vivid, colorful and highly involved dreams every night, that really resonated with me. In my dreams, I have to tell you, I feel like I am seriously living out another few lifetimes somewhere - they are incredible! This is also one of the reasons why I like sleeping so much, as each night I get to live out many new and exciting adventures, as if my life here in this reality, was not exciting and fun enough :)
Finally, the last thing that opened my eyes so much and was perhaps my biggest “aha” experience on this day, was when Thomas explained the concept of metaphors. You know how most of us have heard of the “silver chord“, or of “walking through a tunnel toward the light” or “traveling through a spiral coming back from an OOBE” or even the idea of the “Chakras“. Well guess what….they are all as real or unreal as we make them. None of these are necessary or the absolute truth or reality in any way. What does that mean?
It means, that just like many of us accept that meat is the ultimate source of protein, because that is what we are conditioned to by others, the same way most of us accept the idea of say the tunnel and white light when thinking about death. Again, only because we are accustomed to hearing this so much. At some point one person had this “thought” and then it went viral. So much so in fact, that we have incorporated these facts into our own realities as the absolute truths, without them actually being so. Therefore, what Thomas is saying is basically this: sure, use them or any other tools that serve you, but don’t get caught up on them, as they are not the absolute truth.
Well, I have to tell you, was I ever blown away. You mean the “silver chord” or the “Chakras” don’t really exist? I have to say, I really preferred these more “romantic” views and explanations when it comes to those matters. But, not to worry, it didn’t dampen my mood one bit, as of course I understand something else, and much bigger, whether from this weekend or before. We get to experience whatever we want! And so although some of these things don’t need to exist and perhaps even don’t exist at all, because I am the creator of my own reality, I get to experience them as I please.
Having said that though, this was a super valuable lesson because more than anything Thomas broke yet another limit for me. I now know that ultimately, we get to a place where we see way past and beyond any “silver chords” or “tunnels with white light“, but until then they can entertain us as we choose fit.
As far as the exercises were concerned, they were awesome, but not in the way, you may think. While I did not have a profound and immediate connection to another reality and while I was not accurate in diagnosing the subjects we experimented with, they definitely taught me a lot. First and foremost, as balanced as I seem to be between the arts and sciences, I have a really active and analytical mind. So yes, I will definitely be needing some serious “practice” to turn this feature down, as I turn up my intuitive mind. Secondly, what actually was most profound for me, were the warm ups to the exercises, as these showed us how easy it is to switch between different realities - we all do this all the time, most of us are just not aware. Finally, the exercises showed me even more of the potentials that lay ahead, and all that is possible with the right focus and intention. And I have to say, that gets me very excited indeed!
In conclusion, Thomas’ workshop was one of the most valuable events I have ever had a chance to experience. I learned so much, I had a chance to validate so much of what I personally knew or felt and I feel like I expanded so much. The workshop definitely motivated me in many, many ways. And while no, I did not begin a serious routine of practicing the experiential exercises I learned and tried, I do know that when the time is right for me, I have the tools I need and all will fall into place as I create it.
Now to finish off, I have a special treat for you. Well actually it is thanks to Thomas’ generosity that this is possible. Ready for it?
Thomas has made available the complete set of slides he used to present his material on his site, which you can also find here: Thomas Campbell Toronto Slides.
I highly encourage you to check them out for 2 reasons: 1) if this interests you, to get more of the details that I was unable to cover here about the material he presented and 2) to see some of the amazing illustrations he used to explain some of the concepts. There are also cartoon illustrations you will find there, which are a treat on their own. They are provided by Judy Johnston, an artist, who also has a really unique and entertaining line of greeting cards called My Sign From Above.
However, aside from my write up, the slides, a previous lecture from London on YouTube, I have to tell you, nothing compares to seeing Thomas live. Hence, if you have a chance, I highly, highly recommend it. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

My Big TOE Author Thomas Campbell’s Toronto Workshop
If the name Thomas Campbell is new to you at this point, allow yourself to get to know, one of the most prominent beings on this planet today.
Thomas Campbell is a nuclear physicist currently working for NASA, and while this already can be considered an amazing feat for a being, it is not even where the most of his prominence lies.
Not only is he a physicist, author and speaker, but he can easily be regarded as one of the most prominent scientists in history. To give you a quick idea, Thomas Campbell picks up where Einstein left off and goes much further than most scientists have ever imagined. He successfully brings the worlds of physics, metaphysics and spirituality together. He has used his work in the field of physics to prove and embark on something much greater than only a handful before him - the ideas of consciousness and the nature of our reality.
Thus it was with great pleasure, excitement and gratitude that I attended his 2 day workshop when he came to Toronto at the end of August this year - 2009. The theme for this special event was Physics, Metaphysics and Your Place In The Greater Reality.
It was a very special opportunity to be able to hear this man speak in person and share in his findings on what he has dedicated his life’s work to.
Hence in this article, I would like to give you a brief synopsis of the first day of that event. And I say brief, because I cannot possibly introduce you here to everything that I have learned, even in that one day. It will take a few articles to really absorb all that, as literally every line out of this man’s mouth deserves its own attention and thorough analysis. However, I still want to introduce you to as much as I can of Thomas’ mind blowing work here from that workshop.
Background on Thomas Campbell
Although I just gave you a small glimpse into who Thomas is, I want to expand a little more so that you have a better understanding of his work, before I share with you about his workshop.
Thomas is not your typical scientist in that the limits of this reality do not stop him from probing further into what is possible. However, like all other scientists, he is about questioning, research, experimentation and proof. And with this in mind, he has managed to see beyond the scope of this physical reality.
Despite getting the typical schooling required for a nuclear physicist, Thomas was always interested in more and pushing the limits of what can be seen. Shortly after graduating, he began his work with Bob Monroe, founder of the Monroe Institute for the exploration of consciousness, where he began experimenting with altered states of consciousness.
In early 2000, after more than 30 years of work, Thomas finally put together a trilogy of his work in his ground breaking book - My Big TOE (Theory of Everything).
Today, while working for NASA part time, Thomas gives lectures all around the world sharing his findings with others. And this is how I was fortunate enough to get to know more about his work, while attending one of his lecture’s, which happened to be in Toronto. Thomas was also recently featured in the thought provoking documentary about death and the afterlife, called The Path: Afterlife.
The Toronto Workshop Day 1
The first day of the event took place on August 22, 2009. It was hosted by MBT events, from which Keith and Donna did a superb job organizing the event and showing superb hospitality. It started with Thomas giving us a short introduction and background as to who he is and how he came to be where he is today (mostly as I explained above). But here is something that blew me away right from the start. Not only has Thomas experimented with alternate realities through out of body experiences, but today and for some time now, he has been able to easily experience this and much more, through his conscious will. He shared with us some of his experiences briefly with out of body experiences (OOBE) and stated that the most important thing to understand is that an OOBE experience really has nothing to do with the body and everything to do with the mind. Naturally it should be called the “out of mind experience”, but as he explained in a joking fashion, our society is not likely to take well to that.
On this first day of the 2 day event, he made us aware that it will be heavily theory and science based, as he has to explain everything in terms of what lead him to find what he did, in order of course for people to know and grasp where he is coming from.
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. Thus at this time Thomas also went on to explain in detail the famous “double slit experiment“, which explains a lot about the nature of atoms and how they change based on the reality they are in, or the observer.
Another major idea explained by Thomas was the idea of entropy. Not being a physicist myself, this was actually the first time since some point in high school perhaps, that I heard this word and had gotten such an elegant explanation of it. Basically, entropy is the level of organization of any system. The lower the entropy the more organized a system is, the higher the entropy, the more chaotic a system is. And guess what the lowest state of entropy is…love. This is why, ever time there was a lot of science put forth by Thomas, it was brought right back full circle, through the incorporation of everything we already know about spirituality. Hence, if nothing else, I credit Thomas as a genius, for so elegantly bringing science and spirituality together as one.
Thomas then went on to explain the attributes and origins of consciousness, which was a highly enlightening topic on its own. The two main points here were that consciousness is always evolving, reaching for lower states of entropy (though it is possible to de-evolve) and secondly even though we express consciousness or the universe as being infinite, nothing real is actually infinite. The main reason why we have such a hard time explaining or understanding this “system” or this “reality” is because we are in it. We have to get out of it, and look back to really be able to observe and interpret properly.
The next ideas discussed were those about generating experience, our individual existence and purpose. Here Thomas gave a beautiful definition of our purpose and the idea of God. Basically the purpose of this system, of our being is to “evolve towards becoming love“.
There was also a truly mind blowing discussion about time. Thomas explained how time works in that one can see this system as having several “databases” - all of which by the way we can access ourselves. There is the probable future database (remember the future is never set, but constantly changing based on our choices and energies), the past database and the unactualized database. This is where he mentioned the Akashic records and why this a completely normal and real phenomenon. It just takes a person who is able to access this database, to uncover the data there (all of us can learn of course).
Beyond these awesome explanations and a lot of science in between to back them up, Thomas then went on to talk about the mechanics of the larger reality. Here is where things got even more fascinating. Thomas explained that this reality here and now can be viewed somewhat like a “video game”, in that all the possible choices of the player are already accounted for and only that which is observed at any given moment is seen. This whole topic requires a much larger discussion, which I cannot cover here at the moment. Basically that which we do not see at any given moment is not rendered. Sure you may think it is there, and really convince yourself that you know it is there, but until you actually walk past say, the tree that you are thinking of, it does not exist. Is your head spinning yet? Trust me, I know. Being there and having all of this explained with proof was an experience I will never forget.
Most importantly, this also ties in to another phenomenon. As long as something in the past is not measured, Thomas explained that it can still be changed, or influenced. This is based on an idea of the “uncertainty principle”. Much easier to understand with this is of course the idea that we are constantly changing and influencing the future - it is not predefined like some people think.
Thomas fully explained Einstein’s theory of relativity and with this in mind talked about the work involved between our brain and our consciousness. Most importantly we have to understand that always our consciousness leads and the body follows. This can help explain a lot in terms of why and how some people get physical diseases and others heal. In this he even talked about cases like Alzheimer’s and brain damage patients for us to understand that the consciousness is never “injured”, it is the brain (i.e. the machinery) that is unable to process as needed.
The last section of the day was an introduction to experiential exercises. At many times Thomas stressed that for any of us to really “know anything”, we must experience it for ourselves. At this point the information changes from being someone else’s to being our own. Over the 2 days he lead us through 5 exercises:
1. Practicing focus intent without processing
2. Parallel processing, which is switching between realities
3. Diagnosing and healing of others or self (on location or remotely)
4. Manipulating Time
5. Remote viewing (viewing an event in another time frame)
Most of the exercises happened in the day 2 session, however Thomas went on to explain the processes in day 1, stating most importantly that in order to be “successful” with these, first and foremost one has to be open and allow it to happen, one must have intent and provide no analysis. Sounds easy, right? Well not quite. You see the worst to get in the way here and why more people cannot just switch out of their bodies and between realities, is this notion of analysis. It is hard, for some that is, and takes practice to switch off our analytical minds.
Thomas finished the day off with talking more about the ideas of what actually is “real”? So many of us are so convinced that what we see and touch around us is solid and real, but in actuality, and pretty much any scientist knows this, nothing is really solid. All matter is made up of large spaces with quickly vibrating atoms, which we only see as condensed into various forms. And all of that came out of our “intent“. As Thomas said “results mirror intent“. He also touched upon here the ideas of death and illness and how to understand and see that neither is “bad”. As well, he explained a very important notion, that in becoming a healer, or having the ability to heal, does not mean going around and healing everyone who is ill in any way. This is a huge infringement on their free will and on the rules of the system. Some people have created and/or actually need these “experiences” to do the learning they came here to do, and we, especially as healers need to respect that.
The session then finished off with a question and answer period from the audience, and as you can imagine there were lots of great questions.
Personal CommentaryAlthough the whole weekend felt like I was swept away into another reality (no pun intended), the most amazing part was that here was a phenomenal scientists offering proof for all matters of the metaphysical.
I mean I speak about consciousness, I teach about it and I live it, and while I know it experientially, here was this man proving it from a very solid and credible scientific perspective. If that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is. And I know some of us who really “feel” this “stuff” don’t need any scientific proof for it - after all you either “know” it within or you don’t. But the truth of the matter is, most of our world today is still geared toward having scientific proof for any and every claim made. So this is where I think what Thomas has found and brought to life, becomes that much more valuable.
In fact, I think because his science background is so strong and he is literally in the same playing field, in terms of how we regard Einstein today, that I feel his work is the opening of a huge door for many future mainstream scientists. The world may be slow to adapt to big changes and radical claims - after all just think how the idea of the Earth being round was received, but today we live in a more open and rapidly evolving time than ever before. It is thus because of this, that I believe Thomas will not have to wait years or until after his death to have his work taken seriously - it is already being taken very seriously today, by many around the world and causing them to probe even further.
Perhaps I resonate so strongly with his work due to my own scientific background. Or perhaps it is because I “feel”, literally feel what he is saying as I live out my life each day. I am not sure. What I do know, is I cannot tell you how grateful I am for attending this event, getting to know Thomas, his work and being able to expand my own awareness of what is, thanks to his findings. I feel that Thomas is not only so eloquent, but also has a true gift for expanding our minds to see more than we ever thought possible.
Now when you see Thomas at a speaking engagement for the first time, the first ideas that will probably come to your head are that of a “serious scientist”. The last thing one would ever think is that this man has regular out of body experiences and experiments with alternate realities. Well he does, and when you hear him speak, your jaw just starts dropping lower and lower, while your brain is literally expanding from the information coming at you.
Ultimately, what really did it for me where Thomas’ workshop and research is concerned, is that he repeatedly states “Don’t believe everything I say. But at the same time don’t disbelief what I say. Find your own theory of everything.”
And this is what he is ultimately about. He has tapped into findings about the universe, life, death and alternate realities in great depth. But ultimately they are from his perspective and based on what his main finding is, that there are numerous realities, what we find for ourselves may not be identical to his. We each decipher things through our own filters, through our own perspectives. And this is the biggest reason why Thomas invites each and everyone of us to find our own theory of everything, because to a large extent, we create it ourselves.
So on this first day, Thomas prepared us that it would be full of theory and indeed it was, but I have to tell you it was so, so good that I didn’t want the day to end. Day 2 was going to be more about applications and experiential learning through some exercises.
The Toronto Workshop Day 2
The second day of the workshop began with an even more elevated energy of excitement, as we were all eagerly anticipating to learn more from Thomas, as well as try some of the experiential exercises that he introduced us to on the previous day. Would we be able to travel to different realities? Would we be able to do a distance diagnosis and healing? Only time would tell.
Thomas increased the excited energy in the room, as he reiterated that, unlike the previous day, which was all about theory, today would be all about application. And not that any of us minded the theory, but of course there is perhaps nothing better than experiencing something amazing and out of this world for yourself.
He started talking about how we can all experience the “larger reality“. In this common reality that most of us are used to, most of us do not care much about asking the “how’s” and “why’s” about the nature of things. We wake up, take in the data that is right before our eyes as we go through our day and that is about it for the majority. As long as we think that someone “else” knows, we are satisfied. What Thomas does however, is he inspires and encourages each one of us to be the questioner of our reality. In fact, if we want to go beyond this reality, if we want to get “out of our minds“, we have to probe deeper because this will have a big effect on what we can accomplish.
So naturally, the first question on everyone’s mind was, “can everybody do it?” - that is access and become orientational in non-physical reality? To this Thomas’ answer was that yes, indeed everybody can, but not many people do. This is of course not surprising. Just think of playing some sport or music instrument. Of course everybody can do it, but only a few people are actually inclined to practice enough and stick with it, to get some significant results. It is the same with traveling out of our body (mind) and experiencing alternate realities.
At this point, Thomas gave a lot of practical advice and walked us through the background of how to understand such concepts, before we become ready to attempt anything. Some of his advice included the following:
1. Make experiencing alternate realities a natural thing, not a goal or some forced experience. The point at any given time Thomas stated, is just “to grow” and we can easily do that without ever experiencing the paranormal. As we grow or evolve, we natural decrease our entropy.
2. Going out of body does not equal a better life. You have to be happy with what you have created in the physical here and now. The spiritual world, will not magically make your life better or take all your problems away.
3. You are not failing in the game of evolution, if you don’t master or experience the “out of body” experience. Yes, it can enhance our evolution in many ways, but it is in no way mandatory for evolution. This again goes back to what was said in #1.
4. Learn to meditate. This is not something we have to do, as it is still “just a tool”, but it is usually good for beginners to examine their own consciousness.
5. There are no short cuts. If we are serious about this, we have to develop it as a process, it is not a “one time magical experience”. Having said this, Thomas explained that some people experiment with drugs or alcohol to get into a certain state, which they claim helps them achieve an OOBE. This however, as Thomas explained is counterproductive. You may get in and out of this one particular “heightened” state, but in the end you still have no idea how it works, how to be fully oriented in the non-physical and there is no room for growth.
6. It takes practice and so we need to have patience. As stated earlier, yes everyone can do it, but the main reason why most people don’t is because we get bored, dismayed, disillusioned and just plain and simple don’t stick with it long enough to see results. I know this comes as no surprise as we do live in a society based on instant gratification.
7. Don’t rush to the paranormal. We may get to one point of success, get our egos all wrapped up in it and actually stunt our growth, as we get stuck in one spot.
8. Fear nothing - become fearless. What you find there, will be strongly influenced by you. Remember, we create our realities, so if you fear big, green monsters, guess what you will most likely find there…big, green monsters. Hence, we should get over all of our fears, if we are to have a positive and profound experience.
9. Leave thinking and analysis out of it. As soon as we start to interpret the data, we start to lose it, in terms of the depth of the experience. It is normal that we will even question whether it is “real” or our mind is simply “making it up”. With this in mind, we also have to work on eliminating our beliefs. This is of course one of the areas that can take quite a bit of practice for some.
10. Expect nothing and hope for nothing. This all ties into the above ideas of leaving our thinking and analytical mind out of it. We can analyze all we want after, but not before and during. Just observe and collect the data, and use your intellect only to direct the experience. Most importantly too, don’t judge or compare, whether it be our own experiences or to those of others.
11. Gather data and formulate the evidence. This is especially critical to do in the beginning for two reasons: 1) that you know it is not just your mind making it up and 2) that eventually you have your own “proof” for these experiences. At this point you will know this is “real” not just in theory, but in an experiential way.
12. A low entropy consciousness can easily access non-physical realities (NPR) with little effort. Hence focus more on lowering your entropy here and now, instead of getting into the NPR - i.e. remember, moving towards becoming love. The NPR’s will usually follow naturally on their own.
13. Don’t take NPR literally. In both this physical reality and the non-physical reality data is objective, but how we experience it, is subjective. Hence, two people can go to the same “place” out of body and have two completely different experiences. Thus, the more experience we have here and there, the better we are at interpreting that data correctly.
14. Don’t bring back details, but concepts, feelings, ambiance, etc. There, all communication is telepathic, lumps of information, rather than linear patterns. Also, understand that, when we come back and try to communicate it with others, we have to use words, which are limiting. Hence, our experience actually loses a lot of the accuracy with which we experienced it.
15. Don’t try to duplicate anyone else’s experience. Others have their own filters, metaphors and perspectives of what and how they see, experience and translate. You have your own. Thus be open to your own unique experience. Again this goes back to #10 about not having set hopes or expectations.
16. Stay skeptical. Don’t just take the first experience as absolute. The ultimate goal of these experiences is personal growth, not just to have some “cool” experience. Stay open, stay skeptical and experiment in various ways, to really prove things to yourself.
Thomas then talked about the influence of “others” - meaning things like “spirit guides”. He explained that we are the ones who give them names, features and imagine them as beings, but in reality they are so much more than that and so much more beyond all of that. In this segment, he explained how the guides work with us, how they help us, how they offer us training, etc. He also explained how we get assigned guides, based on our levels of evolution and so much more when it comes to this topic, including ideas about our higher selves.
Thomas than addressed something which I am sure all of us wonder about, but few are brave enough to ask about, that being - negative beings. Indeed Thomas acknowledged that just like in this physical reality there are negative entities, so too they exist in the non-physical. Where as most of us evolve, as we grow toward love and thus lower our entropy, others can actually manipulate this system by growing despite not lowering their entropy. Sounds worse than it actually is. Thomas explained, that this is a very limited growth and is eventually self-limiting and weak. Thus, no negative entity has any power over you, unless you allow them. They can only affect you if you have fear. This again is not very different from what happens in this physical reality.
Bottom line, as manipulative as some beings can become whether in the physical or non-physical, the overall system is growing towards love, towards order and thus lowering entropy. Hence, the system does not help or support things that are counterproductive to this idea. The benefit for the greater good is always considered first. That is why it is no surprise that from the beginning of time, no matter the source, we always hear that “goodness, light, or love will prevail over darkness or evil“. It may sound funny, but in such a system it is “scientifically” impossible to be any other way. Thomas also talked about some do’s and don’ts (as suggestions of course) for making contact with other beings (in the non-physical).
Thomas then went on to cover the topic of remote viewing, diagnosing, healing and parallel processing. There are two, really important things that I think are really worth mentioning here, that Thomas explained when it comes to healing. First, we do not need to know the person’s full name, address, or any other details. Nor does it matter where in the world the person is. The only thing that matters is a “unique address“. Remember, everything operates based on thought and the vibrations that follow from it. So if someone tells you I have an aunt Margaret who doesn’t seem to be doing so well, that is all you need to know to heal her. Your thought of this person’s “aunt Margaret” sends the energy to her. The second thing, is that Thomas said “you can heal yourself, just as easily as you can heal others“. I really resonated with this, because it is what I believe deep within, yet almost all other teachers that I heard from, especially energy or alternative health healers, claim that one cannot heal themselves.
He finished off this section, before we fully dived into the experiential exercises with a beautiful conclusion - stay balanced and stay present based. As fun and exciting as all these non-physical experiences seem, we have to remember that we came here out of our own free will to experience the physical and thus we have to respect this realm and not get caught up in the non-physical. Similarly, through practice and as we open up, we may be tempted to obsess about tapping into the future to control events or if it is healing that we excel at, trying to heal everyone. Both of these actually not only violate free will (both ours and others), they diminish the purpose and perfection of this present system.
We, like others came here for a meaningful purpose. While most of us barely know what our own purpose and lessons are in this lifetime, we cannot assume to know that of another. Thus, we need to respect that they chose their own experiences, no matter how those may seem and hence this is why it is important to grow and evolve constantly forward, not master one thing, attach to it and get stuck. This is another reason why Thomas says, he himself does not “abuse” the system in any way, such as going around healing everyone or controlling all of his future events. It just belittles the greater purpose of the all.
“Be in the present, live your life and let everything else take care of itself. Most importantly, develop your own big TOE.”

Throughout the day of course, we had a chance to practice several exercises. Some of which included remote viewing in the past and future, diagnosing and healing.
The day ended off with another amazing question and answer session.
Personal Commentary
Although the two days were quite different in terms of topics, depth and focus - both were equally valuable, informative and if I may say again - mind blowing!
While I resonated with so much of what Thomas explained in terms of the science on the first day - the physics. The second day held its own worth and incredible value, as we dissected and dived into the metaphysics. The theme of larger reality was beautifully interwoven throughout the entire weekend, I found.
One of my most favorite parts of this second day, was being able to gain knowledge and perspective of the metaphysical not only from someone who has so much personal and regular experience in this area, but who is also so grounded and science based. Don’t get me wrong I am not discrediting the work of numerous mediums, intuitive guides and healers out there, but I am sure you can relate, that having a perspective from such an angle, definitely provides for an even broader experience.
Another part that really resonated with me was when Thomas went a little more into talking about alternate realities, more so from a practical side this time. He mentioned dreams and how those are all just as real as what you and I experience here, they are just an alternate reality. Now having vivid, colorful and highly involved dreams every night, that really resonated with me. In my dreams, I have to tell you, I feel like I am seriously living out another few lifetimes somewhere - they are incredible! This is also one of the reasons why I like sleeping so much, as each night I get to live out many new and exciting adventures, as if my life here in this reality, was not exciting and fun enough :)
Finally, the last thing that opened my eyes so much and was perhaps my biggest “aha” experience on this day, was when Thomas explained the concept of metaphors. You know how most of us have heard of the “silver chord“, or of “walking through a tunnel toward the light” or “traveling through a spiral coming back from an OOBE” or even the idea of the “Chakras“. Well guess what….they are all as real or unreal as we make them. None of these are necessary or the absolute truth or reality in any way. What does that mean?
It means, that just like many of us accept that meat is the ultimate source of protein, because that is what we are conditioned to by others, the same way most of us accept the idea of say the tunnel and white light when thinking about death. Again, only because we are accustomed to hearing this so much. At some point one person had this “thought” and then it went viral. So much so in fact, that we have incorporated these facts into our own realities as the absolute truths, without them actually being so. Therefore, what Thomas is saying is basically this: sure, use them or any other tools that serve you, but don’t get caught up on them, as they are not the absolute truth.
Well, I have to tell you, was I ever blown away. You mean the “silver chord” or the “Chakras” don’t really exist? I have to say, I really preferred these more “romantic” views and explanations when it comes to those matters. But, not to worry, it didn’t dampen my mood one bit, as of course I understand something else, and much bigger, whether from this weekend or before. We get to experience whatever we want! And so although some of these things don’t need to exist and perhaps even don’t exist at all, because I am the creator of my own reality, I get to experience them as I please.
Having said that though, this was a super valuable lesson because more than anything Thomas broke yet another limit for me. I now know that ultimately, we get to a place where we see way past and beyond any “silver chords” or “tunnels with white light“, but until then they can entertain us as we choose fit.
As far as the exercises were concerned, they were awesome, but not in the way, you may think. While I did not have a profound and immediate connection to another reality and while I was not accurate in diagnosing the subjects we experimented with, they definitely taught me a lot. First and foremost, as balanced as I seem to be between the arts and sciences, I have a really active and analytical mind. So yes, I will definitely be needing some serious “practice” to turn this feature down, as I turn up my intuitive mind. Secondly, what actually was most profound for me, were the warm ups to the exercises, as these showed us how easy it is to switch between different realities - we all do this all the time, most of us are just not aware. Finally, the exercises showed me even more of the potentials that lay ahead, and all that is possible with the right focus and intention. And I have to say, that gets me very excited indeed!
In conclusion, Thomas’ workshop was one of the most valuable events I have ever had a chance to experience. I learned so much, I had a chance to validate so much of what I personally knew or felt and I feel like I expanded so much. The workshop definitely motivated me in many, many ways. And while no, I did not begin a serious routine of practicing the experiential exercises I learned and tried, I do know that when the time is right for me, I have the tools I need and all will fall into place as I create it.
Now to finish off, I have a special treat for you. Well actually it is thanks to Thomas’ generosity that this is possible. Ready for it?
Thomas has made available the complete set of slides he used to present his material on his site, which you can also find here: Thomas Campbell Toronto Slides.
I highly encourage you to check them out for 2 reasons: 1) if this interests you, to get more of the details that I was unable to cover here about the material he presented and 2) to see some of the amazing illustrations he used to explain some of the concepts. There are also cartoon illustrations you will find there, which are a treat on their own. They are provided by Judy Johnston, an artist, who also has a really unique and entertaining line of greeting cards called My Sign From Above.
However, aside from my write up, the slides, a previous lecture from London on YouTube, I have to tell you, nothing compares to seeing Thomas live. Hence, if you have a chance, I highly, highly recommend it. I am sure you will not be disappointed.
