Book 2 of the MY Big TOE trilogy. My Big TOE, written by a nuclear physicist in the language contemporary 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 is brought together under one seamless scientific understanding. Book 2: Discovery - Section 3 develops the interface and interaction between we the people and our digital consciousness reality. It derives and explains the characteristics, origins, dynamics, and function of ego, love, and free will. It derives our larger purpose. Finally, Section 3 develops the psi uncertainty principle as it explains and interrelates psi phenomena, free will, love, consciousness evolution, reality, human purpose, entropy and physics. Section 4 lays out an operational and functional model of consciousness that further develops the results of Section 3 and supports the conclusions of Section 5. The origins and nature of digital consciousness are described. Our physical universe, our science, and our perception of a physical reality are logically derived. The mind-matter dichotomy is solved as physical reality is directly derived from the nature of digital consciousness. The origins and nature of digital consciousness are described along with how artificial intelligence (AI), as embodied in AI Guy, leads to artificial consciousness, which leads to actual consciousness and to us. Section 4 derives our physical universe, our science, and our perception of a physical reality. The mind-matter dichotomy is solved as physical reality is directly derived from the nature of digital consciousness.

Book 1: AwakeningSection 1 provides a partial biography of the author that is pertinent tothe subsequent creation of this trilogy. This brief look at the author's uniqueexperience and credentials sheds some light upon the origins of this extraordinarywork. The unusual associations, circumstances, training and initialresearch that eventually led to the creation of the My Big TOE trilogy aredescribed to provide a more accurate perspective of the whole.Section 2 lays out, logically justifies, and defines the basic conceptualbuilding blocks needed to construct My Big TOE's conceptual foundation.It discusses the cultural beliefs that trap our thinking into a narrow andlimited conceptualization of reality, defines the fundamentals of Big Pictureepistemology and ontology, as well as examines the inner-workings andpractice of meditation. Most importantly, Section 2 defines and developsthe two basic assumptions upon which this trilogy is based. From these twoassumptions, time, space, consciousness, and the basic properties, purpose, and mechanics of our reality are logically inferred.Book 2: DiscoverySection 3 develops the interface and interaction between "we the people"and our digital consciousness reality. It derives and explains the characteristics, origins, dynamics, and function of ego, love, free will, and ourlarger purpose. Finally, Section 3 develops the psi uncertainty principleas it explains and interrelates psi phenomena, free will, love, consciousnessevolution, physics, reality, human purpose, digital computation, andentropy.Section 4 describes an operational and functional model of consciousnessthat further develops the results of Section 3 and supports the conclusions ofSection 5. The origins and nature of digital consciousness are described alongwith how artificial intelligence (AI), as embodied in AI Guy, leads to artificialconsciousness, which leads to actual consciousness and to us. Section 4 derivesour physical universe, our science, and our perception of a physical reality.The mind-matter dichotomy is solved as physical reality is directly derived fromthe nature of digital consciousness.Book 3: Inner WorkingsSection 5 pulls together Sections 2, 3, and 4 into a more formal model ofreality that describes how an apparent nonphysical reality works, interacts, and interrelates with our experience of physical reality. Probable realities, predicting and modifying the future, teleportation, telepathy, multiple physicaland nonphysical bodies, and the fractal nature of an evolving digitalconsciousness reality are explained and described in detail.Section 6 is the wrap-up that puts everything discussed in Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 into an easily understood personal perspective. Additionally, Section6 points out My Big TOE's relationship with contemporary science and philosophy.By demonstrating a close conceptual relationship between this TOEand some of the establishment's biggest intellectual guns, Section 6 solidlyintegrates My Big TOE into traditional Western scientific and philosophicalthought.

The full compendium of Francesco Petrarch's poetic verses, rendered in English in this high quality edition, which also includes a biography of the great poet by Thomas Campbell. Notable for being the pivotal figure whose work commenced the Italian Renaissance, Francesco Petrarca's significance is gargantuan. His personal rediscovery of authentic correspondences written by the Roman statesman and legal scholar Cicero was the spark that set the enthusiasm for the arts and sciences alight throughout Italy and later much of Europe in a trend which would span centuries. Petrarch's personal creative proclivities were for poetry, a form in which he innovated and excelled. Serving as a model for later Italian poets such as Dante and Giovanni Boccaccio, Petrarch's poems are the vivid forebear of the wellspring of lyrical creativity which underpinned the Renaissance era. For Petrarch, his life's love and foremost poetic subject was Laura de Noves, a woman who for decades he considered a purely platonic muse.
