52 Thomas Campbell Quotes on Life & My Big TOE
“Simply walk fearlessly with love into whatever comes and everything will come out right. The larger consciousness system takes care of its own – no soldier is left behind.” – Thomas Campbell
“Belief is not a shortcut that will actually take you to a significant destination. Believing what others say is a risky business. You must discover truth and knowledge for yourself or it will not be your truth or your knowledge. Your truth and knowledge lives deeply and vibrantly within your being while someone else’s truth and knowledge can penetrate no deeper than your intellect.” – Thomas Campbell
“The bottom line is that the larger consciousness system is designed and constructed to support your personal growth in every and any way that could possibly be effective for you. It will not help you experience things that are likely to increase your entropy. You do enough of that yourself.” – Thomas Campbell
“Most of our beliefs lie beyond the easy reach of our intellects. Outside our awareness, they literary define, and thus limit, what we allow ourselves to perceive and interpret as reality.” – Thomas Campbell
“Once the mental door of indisputable fact is pried open, the light begins to flood through.” – Thomas Campbell
“When you have been back to this virtual reality a few times, you get nudged a lot by guidance. Each time you come back initially you know zero but after many incarnations you will start to be nudged to remind you. Paranormal experiences will pop in your face to speed up your process and so, as you don’t lose the gains you made in previous lifetimes, an attempt is made to bring you back up to speed so you can get to the bit where you were at the last time.” – Thomas Campbell
“The truth is not delicate; it will stand up to vigorous testing.” – Thomas Campbell
“Becoming too enamored of paranormal phenomena can distract you from more important issues and retard or prevent your further development.” – Thomas Campbell
“That a million smart people say yes is not a good reason for you to say yes if you do not have the experience and understanding to support it. Determining truth is not a democratic process ruled by the majority. It is also not something that someone else can do for you. Do not let these smart people sway you to agree with them simply because they are smart.” – Thomas Campbell
“If you know about the larger reality, non physical matter reality, if you understand how things work you are better at playing the game than you are if you are totally clueless. So having your own big theory is really helpful so that you can interpret your experiences. If you can ask yourself why is this happening to me and then start looking for the lessons that you are being taught in the present experience packet, you start realizing that ‘growing’ and the choices you make are very important. Rather than going through life like a zombie and doing whatever you do because you are just ‘doing it’.” – Thomas Campbell
“If it is not your truth, based on your experience, then don’t believe it – Remain skeptical and open-minded. Whether it is true or not is the wrong question.” – Thomas Campbell
“Being non traditional is a necessary strength, not an unavoidable weakness.” – Thomas Campbell

“We almost always let our egos trick us into believing that we are much less ignorant than we actually are.” – Thomas Campbell
“Open-minded skepticism is the primary tool you will need to maintain a free mind capable of significant and evolutionary progress.” – Thomas Campbell
“Fundamental assumptions in general and scientific assumptions in particular are so hard to overturn because they are based on belief. Beliefs are so hard to overcome because they are irrational and therefore do not yield to logical argument.” – Thomas Campbell
“There is but one truth, however there are many expressions of it.” – Thomas Campbell
“A theory that integrates, unifies and logically derives physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, the normal and the paranormal – it answers your questions.” – Thomas Campbell
“Begin to understand your beliefs and their limitations. Inspect your ego regularly to see if it is growing or shrinking and expose some of its more blatant fantasies in yourself, then to your loved ones and finally to your friends. Dedicate some of your energy every day to finding and verifying the truth. Become aware of your motivations and intents. Turn off the TV and get acquainted with your mind. Learn to meditate. Be kind and loving in all your interactions with others. Stop thinking about yourself and your wants, needs, and desires. Figure out what your fears are and outgrow them. And above all, continue to objectively taste that pudding to see how you are doing. Only real measurable, bona fide objective results are acceptable. If you do not get results that you, as well as others, can easily see after a serious six-month effort, do something else. Be patient. Real progress takes serious dedication over a long time. Have fun always. Just go do it. You don’t need to know how!” – Thomas Campbell
“My intent is to set your mind free to find truth, not to pile on another layer of belief on top of what you already have, or replace one of your current beliefs with a new one. Freedom – spiritual, emotional, and intellectual freedom – provides the necessary environment for learning. Open-minded skepticism is the primary tool you will need to maintain a free mind capable of significant evolutionary progress.” – Thomas Campbell
“Allowing the outside theoretical possibility that our beloved PMR may be a local reality is the first step toward comprehending a bigger picture.” – Thomas Campbell

“Not only do you have responsibility for your own growth, but as you succeed past a certain point, you also have responsibility to help others succeed.

“Guides will take whatever form that is required to do their job (help us grow higher quality consciousness). They will appear as Jesus, Buddha, or any God you like.” – Thomas Campbell
“After we grow up enough, we no longer need pain to get our attention. We learn to continue growing while remaining happy and positive because we understand the nature of existence. We already know what really matters and why. Our capacity to love and to give expands without being prodded by pain and misfortune.” – Thomas Campbell
“The model itself may closely resemble the reality it describes or merely describe its inputs and outputs. In either case, do not confuse the model of reality with reality itself.” – Thomas Campbell
“An AUM-digital-consciousness-system-thing could not possibly be the larger and more fundamental reality because it is not exclusively manifested as a physical substance in the little virtual physical reality. Can you imagine a more illogical and irrational belief?” – Thomas Campbell

“You will learn to appreciate the fact that the larger reality extends beyond objective causality, beyond the reach of intellectual effort, into the subjective” – Thomas Campbell
“Do not worry about the future, it will come upon you gradually and only as you are ready for it – there are no big bumps or sudden transitions – you grow gradually from one stage to the next. Everything will open and become available as you need it and can profitably use it (not necessarily as you want it). No loose ends will be left flapping about. Your transitions will not come at the expense of others. All evolution is generally optimized for the system, not for individuals. Individuals do not evolve at the system’s expense – we are all one. The whole system is evolving.” – Thomas Campbell
“In short, believe nothing, explore everything, know what you know. Know more.” – Thomas Campbell
“We do whatever comes to us at the moment. What we do matters little – the intent behind the doing is an expression of our being that matters much. The feedback from the doing informs the quality of the being to modify its intent – this is the bootstrap by which we pull ourselves up.” – Thomas Campbell

It must be swallowed, whole not parsed, sorted and justified.” – Thomas Campbell
“Great leaps forward do not come from the center, they come from the edge.” – Thomas Campbell
“The ideal is to turn intellectual beliefs into knowledge based on direct experience.” – Thomas Campbell
“You are a creator that exhibits, uses and manipulates the evolution of consciousness and you are the result of that same process at both the nonphysical and physical levels.” – Thomas Campbell
