We're thrilled to be growing with you. Today on the Talk Trax, we'll explore what happens when a NASA physicist starts having out-of-body experiences. For Tom Campbell, it sparked a decades-long journey to bridge science and spirituality and to ask some of the biggest questions out there. Why are we here? What is consciousness?

Tom began his career working for NASA and the Department of Defense, specializing in large-scale systems analysis. With a background in applied physics and deep research into the altered states of consciousness, Tom developed something he calls My Big Toe, or My Big Theory of Everything, that blends quantum mechanics, metaphysics, and the nature of reality into one unified model.

His work invites us to reconsider what we think we know about consciousness, the afterlife, and the structure of existence itself. Those listeners who come from a deeply religious background, some of this might feel provocative. But this show is not here to provide answers. We're here to ask bold, sometimes uncomfortable questions, and to sit with the mystery.

In today's Talk Tracks, we explore Tom's theory of everything, starting with the question, are we in a simulation? And what I love about Tom is this isn't a rejection of spirituality or faith, but as another possible framework for understanding who we are, where we come from, and what might exist beyond this life. So let's get into it.

Awesome. All right. So, Tom, your theory of everything really proposes that consciousness is fundamental to the substance of reality, not matter. And for those new to this idea, how would you explain the nuts and bolts of that?

I've heard you describe physical reality as this learning lab, right? Like Earth is kind of this learning lab within this largest consciousness ecosystem. What are we here to learn? And who or what set up this experiment?
