André Duqum
Physicist Thomas Campbell presents his groundbreaking Theory of Everything: a paradigm-shifting framework that unites science, philosophy, and spirituality under one fundamental principle: consciousness is the base of all reality.
In this expansive conversation, Thomas breaks down the nature of consciousness, how we evolve through a simulated reality, and what it means to live in alignment with your purpose. He shares insights from his mystical experiences, out-of-body explorations with Bob Monroe, and how his theory resolves many of science’s biggest unanswered questions.

Love you Tom!!! From Phoenix AZ .
You changed my life.
By the way, I heard that the inspecs are healing the healers
Its one thing only "let it be" if you live a comfortable life in U.S. I want to see you say that to the most injusticed people in the planet, subsaaran africans, palestinians, poor families in mexican slums
Aiwass Aiwass
consciousness is outside of space time.
I just love this man. He has knowledge and a sense of humor. I would love to hang out with him even if for a day. ❤

Defining consciousness as awareness with a choice is a bit like defining a car as vehicle with a steering wheel. You're pushing all the hard work onto vehicle / awareness, which he doesn't define here. But it's worst than that, because consciousness is the feeling of experience where awareness is purely informational. Awareness doesn't explain feeling / experience.
Thank you❤😊 for your service! Great minde and great soul. So happy to be abel to withess this descosioun. It changed my minde in a way i don't even realize yet! ❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 deaply greatfull!!!!❤❤❤❤
This reality was chosen by us as a spirit or soul to learn certain lessons. It is all real to us.
And the people that think that things are rendered when you look at them well what are all the millions and trillions of insects crawling on nothing?
They are crawling on trees which are there whether you look or not.
Hiya. Thanks so much for this long form video. He may have stated that he does not do sound bites but here’s a few tee shirts that could easily be made from the low hanging fruit of his tree of knowledge but as he said open up the door of the mind and could get you one stop closer to seeing the big picture and creating your own TOE:
– why is the speed of light constant?
– why is probability at the core of reality?
– consciousness in a particle metaphor is the smallest thing you can be aware of – and awareness has to have memory because it has to be able to build upon what it already has become aware of – that means that with consciousness we have time and free will, as we make choices based on what we are aware of and we build what we are aware from what we experience.
– math is nothing but the language of quantity.
– the physical world is objective and intellectual and great at measuring quality but the non physical world is intuitive and can only be expressed in quality – which is what leads people to create their own interpretations models, and metaphors, etc.
– a metaphor is some sort of order or coherence – like a geometrical shape is an ordering of that data.
– we are in an entropy reduction trainer.
– our interpretation is based on experience, beliefs, and ego. We can’t escape that.
– the question (when attempting to make a model that fits) is not “Is that real?” The question is “Is that helpful?”
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Okay, pardner. Let’s get down to it. The human goal is to resort resources. Period. Food grows, people eat it, and the poo goes somewhere. It’s a resorting game and ya can’t go farther or deeper.
20 years ago, I would have said Tom was bonkers, but I definitely believe everything he’s saying now that I'm older.
❤❤❤❤
The purpose of human life is the same for everyone, and there is nothing more difficult to achieve. Everyone who believes what they're told is failing, there are no intermediaries, but another person might be able to point you in the right direction. If someone knew what it was and told you, you would still be failing. Discovering what it is will not save you, because all the things people do that they should not be doing will not simply disappear, the consequences of acting against it are harsher than people want to accept. It's not something someone can do for you, and nobody will come to save you either. Understanding is a big part of it, those who are not developed enough to understand what they are dealing with, will believe that which is not true and make their situation worse. Death is not the end, just like being born is not the beginning, after all the body only exists out of necessity for the soul to experience this life, the number of humans keeps increasing because of what happened again a long time ago, yet human souls are not infinite, if that was the case then human life would be meaningless and people would simply make more babies be born without end. Human life is not short, we don't live only once if we fail, there are no special people, no human soul is worth more or less than the others, but everyone will be at a different level of development as an individual. Leading others to believe in that which is not true and important, will have consequences for all involved. Dogs have 4 legs it's true but it's not important, you are hungry which is important so you eat processed foods and drinks with harmful ingredients but they're not true food. There are rules to govern the motion of the celestial bodies, the functions of the human body, the growth of food, the weather, the lives of animals, and there are rules for humanity as well. Joining any kind of group of people with the same belief, or religion, thinking they know the answer, or that they're better than other people, will only work against you. Overcoming is another big part of it. Acting like you can do whatever you want as if there are no consequences, or surrendering to your body, emotions, and desires will act against you as well. Everyone will eventually be guided to it, one way or another, the sooner the better, until then they're going to stay here for a very long time, and will not even notice it with all the distractions. Don't believe me, don't give me any importance, please don't bother me, goodbye.
The intelligence of the host, mesmerizing
Intention is the main ingredient – Ndivile
This is a great Talk
There appears to be a fundamental flaw in this definition when applied to human development. A newborn baby lacks the access consciousness—the structured memory and cognitive framework—required to make deliberate, rational choices. Instead, infant development relies entirely on a baseline phenomenal consciousness (raw, immediate sensory experience) that navigates the world purely by forming behavioral associations between actions and external responses.If we look beyond human biology, it becomes clear that consciousness is not an "all-or-nothing" switch that magically turns on only when a brain reaches a certain size. Rather, mind and awareness operate as a scale-free continuum.Even an individual cell exhibits a rudimentary form of functional consciousness. It does not act as a rigid, unthinking machine; instead, it engages in a dynamic, epigenetic dialogue. The cell actively interprets its own DNA instructions, continuously modifying its behavior and cellular expression in real-time response to environmental factors and physical engagement. By recognizing that biological problem-solving and awareness scale all the way down to the cellular level, we find a far more cohesive definition of consciousness than mainstream models allow.

How incredibly remarkable! What physics know is absolute true & logical but can’t understand yet know it’s all related to love

Great information, thank you , it’s been very inspirational for me!
It’s absolute, the perfection is absolute. Thank you
Oto podsumowanie rozmowy z Thomem Campbellem, byłym fizykiem jądrowym i autorem teorii „Wielkiej Teorii Wszystkiego" (My Big TOE):
*Główna myśl: Rzeczywistość jako wirtualna symulacja*
Campbell twierdzi, że wszechświat fizyczny nie jest materialny w tradycyjnym sensie, lecz jest *rzeczywistością wirtualną* (symulacją), która jest obliczana przez „komputer", którym jest **świadomość**. Podstawowym założeniem jego teorii jest to, że świadomość jest fundamentalna, a wszystko inne (materia, czas, przestrzeń) jest jej pochodną. Rzeczywistość opiera się na **informacjach**, które są obliczalne, a więc renderowane w symulacji komputerowej.
*Kluczowe koncepcje:*
* *Celem istnienia jest obniżanie entropii:*
* Świadomość ewoluuje poprzez obniżanie swojej entropii (nieuporządkowania).
* *Obniżanie entropii = miłość.* Miłość nie jest tylko emocją, ale stanem niskiej entropii, który obejmuje troskę, dzielenie się, współpracę i współczucie.
* Natomiast *strach* prowadzi do zwiększania entropii (nieuporządkowania), co oznacza egoizm, walkę i hierarchię.
* Życie jest „symulatorem lotu" (trenerem obniżania entropii), w którym mamy wolną wolę, by wybierać między miłością (niska entropia) a strachem (wysoka entropia).
* *Jesteśmy świadomością („indywiduami"):*
* Ludzie nie są ciałami, które posiadają świadomość. Jesteśmy **zindywidualizowanymi jednostkami świadomości**, które „logują się" do awatara w ludzkim ciele.
* Ciało jest jedynie komputerem (silnikiem renderującym) dla tej symulacji.
* Wszyscy pochodzimy z jednej wielkiej świadomości (LCS – Larger Consciousness System).
* *Drogi do poznania:*
* Campbell rozróżnia dwie ścieżki przetwarzania informacji: *intelektualną* (logika, matematyka, ilość) i *intuicyjną* (całościowość, wykraczająca poza logikę).
* Zjawiska paranormalne (telepatia, uzdrawianie, doświadczenia poza ciałem) działają na poziomie intuicyjnym.
* Zaleca *medytację* lub *wyobraźnię* (np. metoda „Tom's Park") jako narzędzia do przełączenia się w stan intuicyjny i uzyskania dostępu do danych z większej świadomości.
* *Praktyczne zastosowania w życiu:*
* *Przestań kontrolować:* Próby kontrolowania świata na podstawie własnych, egoistycznych planów prowadzą do cierpienia. Zamiast tego naucz się pozwalać rzeczom być i reagować na nie pozytywnie.
* *Mierz swój postęp według emocji:* Jeśli odczuwasz mało negatywnych emocji (gniew, strach, poczucie krzywdy), jesteś na dobrej drodze. Negatywne uczucia to sygnał stanu wysokiej entropii (kierowanego przez strach).
* *Narzędzia vs. Rzeczywistość:* Pojęcia takie jak czakry, aury czy srebrna linka to jedynie **narzędzia i metaforyczne modele**, które pomagają ludziom zrozumieć informacje. Nie trzeba traktować ich dosłownie jako materialnej rzeczywistości, lecz jako użyteczne narzędzia do nauki.
*Wizja przyszłości:*
Campbell wierzy, że znajdujemy się na „kolanie krzywej" ewolucji. Dzięki internetowi i technologii idee miłości i współpracy rozprzestrzeniają się szybciej niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej. Przewiduje, że w ciągu 30 lat idee te staną się głównym nurtem kultury, co doprowadzi do przemiany społeczeństwa w miejsce, gdzie ludzie mają maksymalną wolność osobistą i skupiają się na kreatywności oraz wzroście duchowym, podczas gdy produkcję i pracę fizyczną przejmą sztuczne inteligencje.
*Ważne zastrzeżenie:*
Campbell podkreśla, że jego teoria jest jedynie *modelem* (metaforą) pomagającym zrozumieć rzeczywistość. Każdy musi znaleźć własną drogę i własną „Wielką Teorię". Kluczem jest podejście sceptyczne i własne doświadczenie – „jeśli to nie jest Twoje doświadczenie, nie może być Twoją prawdą".
*Podsumowanie:*
Celem życia jest stanie się miłością, wzrost i obniżanie entropii. Kiedy się to uda, życie staje się szczęśliwsze, prostsze, a sprawy układają się same, ponieważ jesteś w zgodzie z naturalnym biegiem wszechświata.
In a strange way, Tom’s ‘cold’ explanation is actually extremely warm because it makes it less about methods and more about the heart of the purpose. This is also very similar to my spiritual journey. It has been me alone wandering through discovery before I even know what the name for it is 😂 I experience something and research it afterwards ❤❤❤
So does LOVE stand for lower our virtual entropy?
19:33 objective reality can’t be humanly proven to exist.
Thankyou Tom. ET
Andre
Is there any way that you can get Donald Hoffman and Tom Campbell on your podcast at the same time?
💕
"even when they poor theyre happy",,, i mean, do you still need those western highpriests when its already like that in Indonesia since long long ago till now, until white/male culture decided to go back to colonized to take and exploited the sources of our Bumi. Ibu Pertiwi some more, for centuries 😂😂😂😂😂
also I've watch few videos of him because I really like his explanation and all about Love,and all, but I have another Question why he kept saying Larger conciousnes as in we are the small one but he also keep saying we are all one with it. It just contradictive and sound hierarchy system still since BC till now
HE WAS GOING ON SO WELL🎈 … but a physicist is not an economist or a sociologist or a psychologist 😩 best quit at 2:20 ish👍 SO MUCH assumption and stuff he didn’t know but cheerfully opined on after that point 😳😬
I have a question about his eyes they are dead or drugged like Darius has the same vacant eyes…why?
Rubbish
Watching this in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Dunedin with my bro and loving it being here now ☯️
this is a little off topic, maybe not, but how old is Dr. Campbell? He said his kids are 40, he's gotta be close to 70. He looks so healthy for his age. I'm blown away after listenign to Dr Campbell for about 6 hours now. BTW, thank you Andre, for being a professional interviewer. The 1st videos I've seen with TC as a guest, the host couldn't help interjecting constantly, snickering at his comments. I was so impressed how he handled the situation. You're a pro Andre. Matching frequencies, from what i can tell.
I learned some time back where the cia was paying for research at Stanford for remote viewing and I wonder if it was at the same time TC was begining it cause it sounds like it and I wonder if he had any part in it
I've never listened to a bigger programmer, then him!
Stop listening, He IS just programming you in Something, what makes you small!
And for sure, Not everytime when He says "WE", I AM in, mostly I'm Out!
LOVE comes First!
Without LOVE you'd Not BE Here!
Greets from LOVE,
Sehe Misses the old White man,
Talking bullshit again and again!
Another bridge builder, working on the bridge between science and the spiritual. It’s getting closer but still needs completion.
Its always been the mind
I know this intuitively and have experienced much that resonates with what I feel and sense that I know. Happy to realise that what I have thought since I was 7 yrs do not meditate but as you explained it always find myself in meditation. Love Ann
When he gloated over A.I., I bailed.
Some of the best conversations happen because a host knows how to let a big idea take the time it actually needs.
Know Thyself, with André Duqum, keeps doing exactly that — asking about the nature of self, the nature of reality, what it means to live aligned, and giving the answers the room to arrive in full rather than in soundbites.
The recent conversation with Thomas Campbell is proof of the room he holds: patient, curious, willing to follow a fifty-year argument all the way home.
Some spaces make the bigger truths possible simply by being honest rooms first.
I’ve got to 62 , I’ve been with my wife since we were teenagers. We have had struggles in life / work / health , but always managed to cope, learn from those struggles, a lot of these negatives have created opportunities and have improved life . I don’t watch the news or use social media , have always offered help friends, neighbours.even strangers , we don’t have financial issues, but recently I’ve been feeling anxious , lost interest in hobbies and find it difficult to do get motivated for chores/ jobs …. I’m at a loss .
Without any doubt consciousness comes first. That’s apparent when he says it is fundamental. Not much if any “ daylight “ between him and Federico Faggin . Both absolutely brilliant minds.
A physicist spent fifty years trying to prove his own theory of consciousness wrong. He never could.
Thomas Campbell — former NASA and Missile Defense Agency physicist, decades of tested, skeptical research — arrives at a model where consciousness is fundamental, reality is information, and the whole system evolves by lowering its entropy, which turns out to mean the same thing as becoming love. Tested, not believed. Offered as a model, not a doctrine.
Some truths get found more than once, by people who never met, walking from opposite horizons.
