It is a function of our conceptual scheme [mind]. Space as conceived by Newton proved to be an illusion, although for practical purposes a very fruitful illusion.&#8221; The illusoriness of space was later shown to be correct by physicist Milo Wolff, whose findings are discussed further on.

My studies and thinking suggest actually a hierarchy of vibrations, not simply that range of frequencies\u00a0that governs material manifestation, but frequencies at ever more\u00a0intangible\u00a0and ethereal\/spiritual levels. John&#8217;s Gospel provides a key: &#8220;In the beginning was the <em>Logos<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;the Logos was God.&#8221;<span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u00a0 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.&#8221; (All foregoing quotes from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikiquote.org\/wiki\/Max_Planck\">http:\/\/en.wikiquote.org\/wiki\/Max_Planck<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">Translating <em>Logos<\/em> as &#8220;Word&#8221; loses the\u00a0ancient Greek understanding of thought as truly creative and existing in and emanating out of a\u00a0real superphysical dimension, the home world of the rational mind. (Those interested might care to read\u00a0the attached\u00a0review of George K\u00fchlewind&#8221;s <em>On Becoming Aware of the Logos<\/em>.) Thus, in the creation account of Genesis, when God speaks, &#8220;Let there be&#8221; (the &#8220;creative fiat&#8221;), sound or\u00a0vibration organizes primordial protomatter (what Rosicrucians call &#8220;cosmic root-substance&#8221;)\u00a0into the forms corresponding to those vibrations. Created objects have vibratory keynotes or signatures. This was dramatically\u00a0demonstrated by Royal Rife,\u00a0the genius who determined the vibratory keynote of a number of pathogenic microbes (including tetanus,\u00a0gonorrhea,\u00a0staphylococcus,\u00a0\u00a0pneumococcus, streptococci, typhus, and tuberculosis) by directing that same frequency (what he called the mortal oscillatory rate)\u00a0back at the microbe\u00a0with an amplitude sufficient to cause it to self-destruct, which event could be viewed <em>in vivo<\/em> (impossible with an electron microscope) using his over 2000-part microscope.

His presentation is substantial, lucid, and disciplined. Consciousness,\u00a0Campbell says, is personal. It must be experienced. It is, in fact, the ground of and precondition for experience. One &#8220;operates&#8221; within the field of consciousness when one thinks, but consciousness need not have thought content to be registered. Often &#8220;mind&#8221; and &#8220;consciousness&#8221; are equated, but technically consciousness subsumes and &#8220;extends&#8221; beyond mind. Meditative states may initiate in thought but can advance into positive trans-rational states. <\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">A TOE that only explains the objective world, such as advanced by Einstein, is a &#8220;little&#8221; TOE. Campbell wants a <em>big<\/em> TOE, one that explains <em>all<\/em>\u00a0experience, including, and especially, subjective experience, since the latter, according to Campbell, constitutes\u00a0virtually all of reality. While most scientists dismiss the subjective world as either unreal\u00a0or unimportant because it lies outside the purview of\u00a0contracted scientific inquiry, Campbell contends that\u00a0subjective\u00a0is fundamentally more real than\u00a0objective experience. Campbell\u00a0seized upon\u00a0a life-transforming invitation from Robert Munro, who had\u00a0his first out-of-the-body experience (OBE)\u00a0in 1958 and wanted to ground and scientifically study these exceptional events under the scrutiny and rigor of laboratory conditions,\u00a0which Campbell and another scientist were to set up and apply. <span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';\">Most importantly, Munro was instructed to collect importable evidence in order to authenticate the validity of his experiences,\u00a0which involved the physical world, the nonphysical world, an alternate universe, and past lifetimes (reincarnation is one of the main principles of his cosmology).\u00a0Monroe came to realize that &#8220;we are co-creators with a mysterious and indifferent essence that is definitely not the God of Sunday school lessons.&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: small;\">After thirty years of research\u00a0Campbell arrived at the following conclusions:<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: small;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u2022 Consciousness is the media of reality and information is its content.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: small;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u2022 Entropy\u2014the gradual loss of energy in a system\u2014is the evolutionary motivator of consciousness.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: small;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u2022 Fundamental reality is modeled as a system of digital consciousness, with data input, storage (memory), retrieval, and feedback loops (learning).<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';\">The\u00a0 implications of modeling consciousness as digital information, like an organic computer,\u00a0are perhaps initially disconcerting but gradually disclose\u00a0their aptness. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: small;\">While Campbell&#8217;s analogy may impact as cold and foreign, the representation of consciousness as a computer system best models its operation and in no way inhibits or diminishes its capacity or capability.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\"><em>Personal<\/em> understanding of the nature of consciousness is the only understanding that creates fundamental reality.

One must go from the outside of theoretical comprehension to the inside of actual experience. This realization is Campbell&#8217;s important contribution, along with\u00a0the digital modeling\u00a0of this experience of consciousness to make it scientifically accessible.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">Over time Campbell became able\u00a0to experience the nontraditional metaphysical worlds of which this sense-based world is but a small subset.

Evidently it&#8217;s not for them. But we choose and make our own experience, though others may participate in like manner and interact with us. Regarding the validity,\u00a0veracity, and reality of what we experience, we are indubitably the\u00a0best authority and judge, not some self-constituted or institutionally-legitimized other.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">Why is the paranormal so difficult to explain? All former\u00a0attempts have insisted that physical world parameters be applied to\u00a0nonphysical worlds, have demanded that the rules governing the subset hold good for those that organize the superset. &#8220;We force little\u00a0picture constraints on big picture phenomena.&#8221; It won&#8217;t work.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">Campbell deliberately avoids the hype, frisson, mystique, and\u00a0glamour one too frequently encounters\u00a0in\u00a0treatments of\u00a0spiritualism. He doesn&#8217;t intrigue and allure. He plays down the phenomenon and doesn&#8217;t flaunt his abilities. He&#8217;s well grounded, as one must be to be successful in such an endeavor. But our evolution in love, as love, does not require that we seek paranormal experiences. There are abundant fields to harvest right where we are, in the physical world, in our physical bodies. Campbell, being a true scientist, wants to know, is inquisitive, needs to explore and expand his horizons. So he travels elsewhere and logs his otherworld experiences.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">While fear will certainly nullify any effort made to experience larger and other dimensions, love will promote it. <span style=\"font-size: small;\">Love naturally tends to experience in wholes, whereas the merely intellectual, academic approach to reality is fragmented and partial, and therefore subject to distortion. Nevertheless, healthy skepticism and discrimination have their role in guiding one&#8217;s intentions in new realms, even as they serve us in our routine lives.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">Physics, metaphysics, philosophy, and religion are all partial views of the same reality from different perspectives, holding different beliefs, and based on different assumptions. &#8220;In the big picture they are all easily understandable as individual shadows of one whole thing. One can see where and how each got stuck because of their limiting beliefs.&#8221; <\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial';font-size: small;\">Mind and consciousness are not captive to the mortal, material brain. But final proof of this assertion will never be given until and unless one initiates the process that eventuates in conscious separation from it and maintains the continuity of consciousness without it.
