Is our reality a simulation designed to help us grow? This episode features an expansive conversation with physicist-turned-consciousness-researcher Tom Campbell, whose life’s work bridges hard science with the vast terrain of metaphysics. Drawing from his decades in U.S. Army technical intelligence, missile defense research, and NASA’s Ares I program, Campbell offers rare credibility as he explores the deeper structure of reality, and why it is, at its core, a learning environment designed to help consciousness evolve. Campbell traces his early out-of-body experiences at age seven, the entities who trained him, and the moment that door temporarily closed so he could grow up “ordinary” enough to fulfill a bigger mission. He explains how his scientific path eventually intersected with consciousness exploration and how his years working alongside Robert Monroe at the Monroe Institute helped him test, validate, and expand his understanding of nonphysical reality and out of body experience.. Campbell describes why fear is the opposite of love, how fear fragments our perception, and why personal evolution is measured not by knowledge but by the quality of our choices. He emphasizes that consciousness is fundamental, the physical world is a virtual learning lab, and each person is here to lower their entropy by becoming more caring, cooperative, and authentic.  Listeners will learn how to cultivate intuitive awareness, navigate life’s challenges with less resistance, and make decisions that lead toward growth rather than contraction. Campbell also shares practical guidance on reducing anxiety, releasing the need for control, and strengthening the “inner balance” between logic and intuition. This conversation invites listeners to think about what reality is and who they are within it.
