Tom Campbell began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe (Journeys Out Of The Body, Far Journeys, and The Ultimate Journey) at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s where he and a few others were instrumental in getting Monroe's laboratory for the study of consciousness up and running. These early drug-free consciousness pioneers helped design experiments, developed the technology for creating specific altered states, and were the main subjects of study (guinea pigs) all at the same time. Campbell has been experimenting with, and exploring the subjective and objective mind ever since. For the past thirty years, Campbell has been focused on scientifically exploring the properties, boundaries, and abilities of consciousness.

During that same time period, he has excelled as a working scientist, a professional physicist dedicated to pushing back the frontiers of cutting edge technology, large-system simulation, technology development and integration, and complex system vulnerability and risk analysis. Presently, and for the past 20 years, he has been at the heart of developing US missile defense systems.

Tom is the "TC (physicist)" described in Bob Monroe's second book Far Journeys and has been a serious explorer of the frontiers of reality, mind, consciousness, and psychic phenomena since the early 1970s. My Big TOE is a model of existence and reality that is based directly on Campbell's scientific research and first hand experience. It represents the results and conclusions of thirty years of careful scientific exploration of the boundaries and contents of reality from both the physical and metaphysical viewpoints. The author has made every effort to approach his explorations without bias or preconceived notions. There is no belief system, dogma, creed, or unusual assumptions at the root of My Big TOE.

By demanding high quality repeatable, empirical, evidential data to separate what's real (exists independently and externally) from what's imaginary or illusory; Campbell has scientifically derived this general model of reality.

Studying the science of Astrology since the early 1980′s has allowed her to become an expert in Mundane Astrology (study of world events).   Over the years, her tracking of the planets in connection with their relationship to earthquakes, floods, storms, volcanic eruptions and other natural phenomenons as well as man made phenomenons (such as war) enhances her abilities as an expert Mundane Astrologer.

Mahala Gayle has also extensively studied the Book of Revelation in the Bible.   From that study she has been able to correlate the Bible and its relationship with the stars.   She has appeared on many local (Puget Sound Area) TV programs discussing this topic in depth. After watching the predicted events transpire one after another, she came to the conclusion that there is a master plan in action and a path to understanding that master plan is through Astrology.

Evidence that Astrology is a path to understanding this plan, is best demonstrated by the history of Jesus.   The science of Astrology was held in high esteem during the time of Jesus, as the wise men (Magi) who visited Jesus shortly after his birth, were known to be Astrologers.
