Often asked of Tom is the question, "How would you define consciousness"?
The discussion goes in the direction of what do our choices mean to what Tom calls the larger consciousness system, and how did he develop the computer analogy he uses to define our reality?
How can we operate with more awareness? Are there exercises we can do?

How can one better understand our reality? "If it is not your experience, it is not your truth", Tom has stated.
Our natural abilities as consciousness are an untapped resource for many people. Paranormal abilities are such that people may be aware of them, but they remain a mystery. Dive into consciousness space and discover a better understanding of who you really are and what you can do!

The main value of Tom's MBT theory is that he offers an understanding of our reality and our purpose here that just may improve your life.
Guy Lawrence on understanding and experiencing the lager consciousness system, the LCS, as defined in Tom’s theory:
It is huge, that dissolving of fear, and that being, the representation of love, that was something that I got out of it. And the moment I could really start to lean into that, especially outside of the body, everything would shift instantaneously, and that was almost like the bigger reality was mirroring back to me this lesson to learn. I can’t even put it into words, but that was a big thing for me to take into my everyday life. It was huge. Absolutely huge. (Paraphrased)

PMR- Physical Matter Reality
Tom Campbell’s logic suggests that “There must be some evolved biological mechanism allowing a human avatar to think – As if it had a brain". Something must have naturally evolved from the rule set and initial conditions defining the “Big Digital Bang” to justify the avatar acting as if it had a brain that could support consciousness. Just as the evolution and subsequent discovery of bone, tendon and muscle represent PMR science that justifies a computed avatar being able to move its arms and legs. Remember, the Avatar doesn’t actually exist, it is “eye candy” computed by the rendering engine to give the players an accurate view of what is going on in the game. Brain, bone, tendon and muscle are not rendered unless they can be directly measured (exposed to view, say with an X-ray, or surgery)
Thus, playing an avatar with the apparent property of being conscious (able to think, feel, and react intellectually) must have a scientific (ruleset) justification that enables the avatar to act as if it had a brain that hosted consciousness.
Tom proposes, for one example, that Hameroff and Penrose’s work with microtubules may, if it is correct, explain the mechanism (the evolved VR rules) making it possible for the avatar to appear to be conscious. In other words, scientists may be on the path to discover “The virtual reality science (rules) that enables an individuated unit of consciousness to play a human avatar that appears to think. Just as scientists, long ago, discovered bone, tendon and muscle that allow an IUOC to play a virtual (computed eye candy) avatar that can move its arms and legs. This effort to understand how the ruleset eventually evolved a virtual human within the computed VR that would allow an IUOC to play it as if it were conscious, represents a valuable and important discovery within PMR science. Hats off to all who are making this effort.
Unfortunately, the scientists who do, one day, discover this PMR -VR mechanism will, most likely, wrongly believe that they have discovered how the brain creates consciousness. However, it is consciousness that creates the brain by computing an evolved virtual brain that allows a subset of consciousness (IUOC -FWAU) to play a virtual human eye-candy avatar that has the ability to act as if it is conscious.

In this 3.5 hour video, he explains that his meta-theory is based on the absolute foundational primacy of consciousness. He points out that the larger consciousness system both creates the simulation in which we exist and interacts with it. He claims that many difficult scientific problems are resolved through this model, including the anthropic cosmological principal, tiny fluctuations observed in the speed of light, and the reality of paranormal phenomena.

Summary of "Are We Inside a Computer Simulation? with Tom Campbell"
Video Overview
In this New Thinking Allowed interview, hosted by Jeffrey Mishlove, physicist Tom Campbell discusses his "My Big TOE" (Theory of Everything), proposing that our physical reality is a virtual simulation created by a Larger Consciousness System (LCS).
Campbell argues that consciousness is fundamental, and physical reality operates like a computer game, with the purpose of enabling consciousness to evolve by reducing entropy through meaningful choices.
The discussion covers the simulation hypothesis, the role of consciousness, the mechanics of virtual reality, and practical implications for personal growth and paranormal phenomena.
Key Takeaways
Simulation Hypothesis: Physical reality is a virtual simulation, akin to a computer game, computed by a Larger Consciousness System (LCS).
Consciousness is Fundamental: Consciousness is an information system, not derived from physical processes.
Causality Direction: Causality flows from consciousness to physical reality, not vice versa.
Physical Reality’s Nature: Appears solid but is a computed virtual reality, like in games such as The Sims or World of Warcraft.
Virtual Reality Traits: Virtual realities feel physical to avatars, with rules like solidity and gravity.
Consciousness as Information: Campbell’s realization that consciousness is information resolved many theoretical gaps.
Paranormal Insights: Years of paranormal experiments informed Campbell’s understanding of consciousness mechanics.
Physical Interventions: Drugs or brain damage affect the avatar’s functionality, not consciousness itself.
Rule Set Constraints: Physics, biology, and chemistry are rules governing the simulation.
Avatar Limitations: Consciousness operates within the avatar’s constraints, like a damaged brain or drug effects.
Entheogens’ Effect: Substances like entheogens alter perception, not consciousness itself.
Anesthetic Impact: Anesthetics disconnect consciousness from avatar interaction, not consciousness itself.
Hyperventilation Example: Altering physical states (e.g., hyperventilation) changes perception via rule set constraints.
Causality Clarification: Consciousness can alter physical reality, but physical changes only affect perception.
Avatar vs. Player: Consciousness (player) persists beyond avatar (body) death.
Anthropic Principle: Physical constants are precisely tuned to support life.
Constants’ Precision: Constants are tuned to 8–10 decimal places, critical for existence.
Trial-and-Error Tuning: The LCS adjusted initial conditions and rules to create a life-supporting universe.
Big Digital Bang: The universe began as a high-pressure, high-temperature plasma in the LCS, evolving via rules.
Purpose of Simulation: To create an environment for meaningful, ethical choices by consciousness.
Entropy Reduction: The goal is to lower entropy, increasing order and information in consciousness.
Love vs. Fear: Love-based choices (cooperation, caring) lower entropy; fear-based choices (control, selfishness) increase it.
Initial Conditions: The simulation started with specific conditions, evolving into galaxies, planets, and life.
Evolution’s Role: The LCS tweaked the system to produce suitable avatars for consciousness.
Cambrian Explosion: Rapid species diversification resulted from system adjustments.
Missing Link: Gaps in evolution may reflect LCS tweaks, not always fossil gaps.
Consciousness Evolution: Consciousness evolves by making choices that reduce entropy.
Information System: Lowering entropy in an information system creates more useful information.
Social System Example: Love-based groups cooperate, optimizing potential; fear-based groups create hierarchy and conflict.
Historical Evidence: Peaceful periods (e.g., Chinese empire, Greek/Roman republics) fostered art and philosophy, unlike warring periods.
Ethical Choices: Avatars face life-and-death decisions, driving moral growth.
Hominid Development: The LCS tweaked evolution to produce choice-capable hominids.
Choice Significance: Significant choices in the simulation promote consciousness growth.
Consciousness Subsets: Humans are individuated units of consciousness (IUOCs) within the LCS.
Chat Room Origin: The LCS initially created a communication-based virtual reality, which plateaued.
Complexification: The LCS split into IUOCs to increase possibilities and growth.
Free Will: IUOCs have free will, limited only by their thoughts.
Entropy and Possibilities: Splitting consciousness increased possibilities, lowering system entropy.
Learning Expands Choices: Gaining knowledge and compassion expands decision space.
Intuitive Development: Accessing intuitive data opens new possibilities.
Speed of Light: Derived from Planck length divided by Planck time, setting the simulation’s speed limit.
Actionable Insights
Practice Skepticism: Question all experiences, especially personal interpretations, to stay open-minded.
Use Intent for Healing: Focus intent on health issues before diagnoses to leverage uncertainty.
Monitor Emotions: Regularly assess emotions to gauge entropy; aim for joy over fear.
Commit Deeply: Cultivate core-level commitment to eliminate negative habits like fear or addiction.
Learn from Choices: Focus on learning from choices, not their correctness, to grow.
Access Paranormal Tools: Use Campbell’s website resources to explore paranormal phenomena for validation.
Conclusion
Campbell’s theory frames reality as a purposeful simulation for consciousness to evolve through love-based choices, offering practical advice like using intent to shape outcomes and assessing emotional states to measure personal growth. His website provides tools for exploring paranormal phenomena to validate these ideas.
In this heart-centered conversation, Caroline and Tom Campbell explore a new model of leadership — one rooted in awareness, care, and intuition.
A great leader doesn’t push people or control them.
They listen, they notice, they care about the little things.
They help others grow into who they want to become — not who you think they should be.
This conversation is a call to lead from the heart, to support people in their next steps without making them feel trapped, and to use your awareness and intuition to recognize each person’s unique path and potential.
In this video, we explore:
• How to be the kind of leader people want to follow
• Why real leadership is about supporting, not controlling
• The power of intuitive leadership and emotional awareness
• Helping people grow in the direction they choose
• Why small, caring actions create deep trust and loyalty
We also talk about how to navigate situations where the person in charge is not leading with awareness or care.
Whether they’re controlling, disconnected, or unaware of your needs — you still have choices.
Tom shares practical advice on how to stay centered, protect your energy, and lead from where you are, even if you’re not the one at the top.
