He has steered his research toward discovering the outer boundaries, inner workings and causal dynamics of the larger reality system. He published his My Big TOE trilogy in 2003 (please see Tom Campbell's website at <a href="http://my-big-toe.com/" target="_blank"><U><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800080 size=5>my-big-toe.com</FONT></U></A> for more information). <BR><BR>In his "My Big TOE" (Theory of Everything) trilogy, Campbell succeeds in systematically illuminating the underlying unity of modern physics and metaphysics.&nbsp; He stresses the importance of direct first-hand exploration of these realms while maintaining a thoroughly scientific attitude--both components are crucial to breaking through the limitations of either unbridled subjective experience or "objective" western scientific methodology.<BR><BR>Thomas will be presenting his work during several events between November 5th and 8th.&nbsp; The main event will be an all-day workshop on November 8th entitled, “Consciousness and the Larger Reality: The Inside Story.”&nbsp; The workshop will be preceded by a free lecture on Friday, November 7th at 7:00 pm.&nbsp; Both workshop and lecture will take place at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 4700 Grover Ave. in Austin.&nbsp; In addition, he will take part in a radio interview on KOOP (91.7 FM or streaming online at <a href="http://koop.org/" target="_blank"><U><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=5>KOOP.org</FONT></U></A>) on Weds., November 5th from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, as well as a talk and book-signing at Book People, 603 N. Lamar Blvd. on Thursday, Nov. 6th at 7:00 pm.&nbsp; <BR><BR>The Saturday workshop will provide an in-depth and interactive exploration of Campbell’s model of reality.&nbsp; In this workshop, you will gain insights into the unity of physics and metaphysics, the origins and inner workings of consciousness and reality, mind and matter; integrate your personal experience and present understanding within a larger scientific context; and learn how love, spirituality and quantum mechanics are derived as fundamental aspects of reality.&nbsp; Advance tickets for non-INACS members, purchased by October 19th, are $85; they include a 2-DVD set of Thomas Campbell's London Lecture and a 2008-2009 membership in INACS. <BR><BR><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Detailed Synopsis:</SPAN><BR><BR>The Institute for Neuroscience and Consciousness Studies (<a href="http://www.inacs.net/" target="_blank"><U><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=5>www.INACS.net</FONT></U></A>) presents:<BR><BR>Thomas Campbell, Ph.D.<BR>Nuclear Physicist<BR>Researcher into Altered States of Consciousness &amp; OOBE’s at Robert Monroe's Laboratory<BR>Author or My Big TOE (Theory Of Everything) (<a href="http://www.mybigtoe.com/" target="_blank"><U><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=5>www.mybigTOE.com</FONT></U></A>)<BR><BR><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Brief Talk and Book-Signing</SPAN><BR>Thursday, November 6, 2008: 7:00 - 8:30 pm<BR>Book People, 603 N.

Our current community site is: www.thesacredacre.com<br><br>In the meantime we're readying it for living by putting up 2 yurts (16 ft and 14 ft) and some tipis and eventually a 40 by 50 foot pole barn to catch rainwater and a compost toilet.<br><br>We've almost completed the 16 foot yurt and are hosting another workday on Monday from 10am until people feel drawn to depart to finish it and put up the 14 footer. We can provide vegetarian lunch for your help if you RSVP!<br><br>Here's a link to some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32321904@N02/sets/72157608914266762/<br><br>Here's a link to the location:<br>http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=101837599715631275462.0004580b031840b8441d6&amp;t=h&amp;ll=30.086697,-98.309977&amp;spn=0.01101,0.021393&amp;z=16<br><br>Much love<br>Emma<br><br>]]>

I met him at Dreamtime Celebration in Colorado where I experienced his Light Activation Workshop. www.dreamthefuture.org<br><br>He will be giving a free (love donations) workshop at this upcoming Friday's vegetarian potluck. <br><br>1. Building the Lightbody, Level I:<br>Just as a ship helps us navigate water and a car helps navigate the roads, the Light Body helps navigate dimensional realities.<br>In this part of the workshop, we will first learn how to build simpleenergetic structures using your awareness, and then use this mastery tobuild the Lightbody. From here we will choose among a few activitiesthat get into how to play with the first level of the Lightbody,including interacting with the archangels, working with other mastersof Light, clearing past life karma, or working through time and spacein an altered way.<br><br>2. Fractal Awareness in Waking Life:<br>The Fractal Awareness piece will get into experiencing the sacredpatterning that allows the connection between you and all things, andhow fractals are the link between the physical reality we see and theenergetic realms where we first become aware of intention.<br>Time permitting, we will explore a hands on healing technique that uses fractal awareness to guide the session.<br>I'm really excited because you will be the first group I have offered this information to!! <br><br>Our website is www.thesacredacre.com and our address is:<br>9416 Circle Drive<br><br>Please call with questions - 512-632-8585<br><br>Time will be posted soon!<br><br>Blessings<br>Emma J<br>]]>

The workshop will look at the kinesthetic side of thedance and the somatic-psychological possibilities of touch and humaninteraction. <br><br><b>Poetics</b> … the metaphor of written or spoken poetry gives usan expanded vision of how we might play in contact with each other,exploring touch as a poet explores words, looking at multiple layers ofperspective on what is happening and playing with intention, impulse,availability, and feeling<br><br><font face="Arial" size="3"><font size="2"><b>Physics</b> is our base. We look for poetry in the experience of weight, pressure, support and supporting, textures of touch, intention, surrender, and flow,  simple and complex movement through space – both the space of the room and the space of each other's kinespheres. We see what arises, we offer possibilities, and we play with sculpting experience within a flow of the unexpected. <br></font><br></font><b>Stillness</b> … we look for the experience of movement that happensin stillness, for the deepening of listening that happens in a momentof calm and for the play of tension that happens in a pause. We lookfor the motion of the small dance that exists below the level ofordinary consciousness and learn to play with what we find. We usebodywork to calm the nerves and to help us drop into deeper details ofperception. We become aware of what is already there.

Sat-Sun 22-23&gt;&gt;&gt;<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> Nov 16 2008 at 11:49pm<br /><br />Our studio is up and running now and we're ready for new commissions!<br /><br /><br />I am sharing my studio now with long-time friend and fellow Artist John Weaver and we're on the EAST Austin Studio Tour this year. <br /><br />We cordially invite you to come by and visit us in our new "old studio" and see some of our work.  Then continue on your trip round the East Austin Studio Tour.  We have maps of the tour so you can start with us!<br /><br />We will be open from 10 am - 5 PM  Saturday and Sunday.<br /><br />We're in a metal building behind and to the left of Callahan's General Store, which is just south of the river on Airport blvd. /183/ old Bastrop Hwy. <br /><br />Coming from the North it is over that old metal bridge at the river and then look for the giant oak tree on the left.  Our chain link gate is behind that tree!<br /><br />I look forward to seeing some Dancers there and sharing my art world with you! <br /><br />namaste,<br /><br />dale whistler<br />971-1048<br /><br />http://daleWhistler.com<br /><br /><br /><br />]]>
