Link to Thomas Campbell's Big Theory of Everything website (downloading his London lecture slides is recommended); this is a fascinating attempt to integrate science, spirituality and philosophy, and is highly consistent with Rational Spirituality in terms of the Experience Model and the Holographic Soul. It is at least partly based on Brian Whitworth's Virtual Reality Universe which in turn is entirely based on information processing (see this paper); this is similar to the Matrix but does not involve merely physical worlds dominated by computers. (My thanks to correspondent Richard Storey for bringing this work to my attention) |

Paper by IL entitled The Seth Material. This was channeled via Jane Roberts from 1963 to 1984.
