Stanford U.’s series on Hacking Consciousness included a presentation titled The Hacked and Highjacked Body:
Dr. Pam Peeke talks about the science behind food and addiction. She also shows us how we can harness the emerging science of epigenetics to make lifestyle changes, including transcendental meditation, which can transform our own DNA.
Topics include a fledgling science call epigenetics which is about gene expression and it relationship to diet choices. Also cutting edge new research on food addiction processes.
Logic says insulation is the best bang for the buck, theoretically speaking.
Depending on architecture and zero insulation, the studies indicate ceiling/attic first, floor second, walls/windows third.
They were air-source with fossil fuel backup, (natural gas).
Various schools are getting/have gotten ground-source: GCHP Systems Shine
I went through a community college for an AAS in HVAC/R in ’08. HP’s were an essential topic covered.
I don’t own one. I have worked on a couple in my past service job.
In my HVAC/R program we went into depth about Loading Calculations and Calculators.
This included identifying material and then referencing it’s thermal properties.
Did you go to that level of detail ?

Wow ! I find that unimaginable ! Care to share why the 10 year hiatus ?
Be forewarned regarding Tom’s style of writing – he has an unusual sense of humor – and the repetition of the same concept in different words.
This repetition is explained at the beginning of, at least the trilogy, which i have, but not everyone reads all of a book.
Good Catch, Glennjeff,
I am ‘guilty’ of omission regarding this statement:
“Consciousness development does not occur through meditation.”
My omission> ‘Quality of Consciousness’ as defined by TC,
Meditation is useful as you point out and is the reason I meditate. One could argue if I was a better at meditating I wouldn’t need to make corrections to entries here. 😉
Your comments on this thread stike me as being in the vein of “I have the authoritative information here”.
Where are you really coming from?
Strike you being key. I have knowledge of a specific body of work which is directly related to the topic of thread. That’s all. Everything I’ve paraphrased about the work is falsifiable to the original sources.
I come from active practice of a skeptical open mind in application in my life of what I have learned about the broader definition of intuition.
By the way, TC admonishes all:
Campbell did not put the “My” in My Big TOE to flaunt pride of authorship. Nor does the “My” indicate any lack of generality or applicability to others. The “My” was added to be a constant reminder to you that this reality model cannot serve as your personal Big TOE until it is based upon your personal experience. On the other hand, personal or subjective experience is only one piece of the reality puzzle.
Ideally, that results in personal initiative to verify claims. Not everyone does that and misunderstandings result.

TC closes that gap with referencing the work of Brian Whitworth, Ed Fredkin among others. See his youtube channel for many other workshops/Q&A’s.
Ultimately MBT’s consciousness development through meditation and Peter’s dark place at the twilight state betwixt awake and asleep are the same in my estimation.
Consciousness development does not occur through meditation.
Such development occurs through interaction with individuals (high/low entropy). Meditation is not at all even needed to execute such development cause the Larger Consciousness System is made to provide feedback from interactions. All one has to do is pay attention to the feedback.
I would caution anyone from jumping to conclusions based on their present knowledge base. I have watched several, not all, video of TC. More, much more, importantly I have read the 800+ page book which lays it all out, step by step:
MyBig TOE, written by a nuclear physicist in the language of contemporary Western culture, unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal. The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit) including both our objective and subjective worlds, are brought together under one seamless scientific understanding
FYI, Tom Campbell is not a Doctor. This can be confirmed many ways, including the book site’s forum, as this issue has come up before.
Tom learned OOB’s from Robert in exchange for helping Robert to set up a lab to study the phenomena through scientific methodology.
Later, they each went their own ways.
The Monroe Institute has never and currently does not provide a context nor causal mechanism for OOB’s as Tom does. Tom was able to perform these assessments through his time in that altered state in the ensuing years post-MI.
Each provides utility through their information.
Personally, as a reader of TAE and Tom’s work, I find I get better context related to what is going on.
My mistake, I thought it was Peter in the video:
The video indicates you are relatively young
I only viewed a few seconds of it.
Hello Peter,
From my limited perspective of this single post, it strikes me as a bit discombobulated.
My personal bio could be part of what’s at play in that characterization. I’m an INTJ as defined be the Meyers-Briggs personality type model. The ‘N’ in INTJ stands for intuition as they define it. Your definition is certainly closer to theirs than any of my recent reading.
My past reading includes other gambits of what is arguably intuition such as Carlos’ writing and the books and online writing of Ingo Swann.
My recent reading however, of ‘My Big TOE’ has put the past lessons into a unified overarching model. It’s a unification of physics with metaphysics and philosophy.
The video indicates you are relatively young. I’m not. Good luck to you and I hope you continue to dig deeper than what you have submitted here.
El G
By chance could you offer a few words summary ?
I already accept that the market, all of it, it being played somewhere by someone.
Still, I don’t find that relaization nearly as interesting as crude oil productions numbers and such, so would you mind indulging me ?
I know about the host and the guest, so what’s the distillation that is of interest ?
@Joe
First, note that El G has hit the proper high points.
For going deep I recommend the Bernard Haisch. Calphysics Institute, ‘Zero Point Energy and Zero Point Field’:
INTRODUCTION
Quantum mechanics predicts the existence of what are usually called ”zero-point” energies for the strong, the weak and the electromagnetic interactions, where ”zero-point” refers to the energy of the system at temperature T=0, or the lowest quantized energy level of a quantum mechanical system. Although the term ”zero-point energy” applies to all three of these interactions in nature, customarily (and hereafter in this article) it is used in reference only to the electromagnetic case.
In conventional quantum physics, the origin of zero-point energy is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that, for a moving particle such as an electron, the more precisely one measures the position, the less exact the best possible measurement of its momentum (mass times velocity), and vice versa. The least possible uncertainty of position times momentum is specified by Planck’s constant, h. A parallel uncertainty exists between measurements involving time and energy (and other so-called conjugate variables in quantum mechanics). This minimum uncertainty is not due to any correctable flaws in measurement, but rather reflects an intrinsic quantum fuzziness in the very nature of energy and matter springing from the wave nature of the various quantum fields. This leads to the concept of zero-point energy.
This is a comprehensive paper and is well within reach of a layman.
Enjoy.
If you think the world is weird now, just wait for even more weirdness, thus uncertainty as it is the ONLY thing that’s going UP, buddyyyyyyyyy.
@ Steve Thomas
Steve, are you familiar with the work of Tom Campbell ?
I’ve been to realitysandwich.com a couple times as a result of links found at his book’s forum.
The seed heirloom movement is quite new to me, less new to me is the ‘consciousness movement’.
Some interesting alternatives; I’m still wading through commenters contributions. I have viewed several of the earthship video’s and wondered what a Manual J load calculation would look like.
For example I’ve read comfort zone complications arise when lots of plants are in the living space zone. A similar matter is an indoor pool.
Thanks for the post; alternatives are welcome in my world.
