Here’s the integrated chart — it shows how Hawkins’ scale, Campbell’s consciousness quality metric, and ACIM’s ego-undoing stages can map onto the same progression from fear to awakening.
Got it — you want to explore the intersections (and divergences) between Tom Campbell, David R. Hawkins, and A Course in Miracles (ACIM).
Let’s unpack this in a structured way:
1. Core Orientations
| Aspect | Tom Campbell (MBT – My Big TOE) | David R. Hawkins (Map of Consciousness) | ACIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Worldview | Consciousness is the fundamental reality; physical reality is a virtual simulation for consciousness evolution. | Reality is hierarchical levels of consciousness calibrated from shame (20) to enlightenment (1000). | The physical world is an illusion; only love (God) is real. |
| Goal | Lower entropy (increase love, cooperation, compassion) to evolve as an individuated unit of consciousness. | Move up the scale of consciousness through surrender, forgiveness, and aligning with truth. | Undo the ego’s thought system, return to full awareness of God’s love. |
| Reality’s Nature | Digital, probabilistic simulation run by “Larger Consciousness System.” | Nonlinear field of consciousness that determines perception and truth. | Dream-like projection from the ego; God’s reality is eternal and changeless. |
| Self vs. Ego | Ego = fear-based decision-making that increases entropy. | Ego = false self that traps awareness in lower calibration levels. | Ego = illusion of separation from God. |
| Practice | Live with love, reduce fear, test ideas with personal experience. | Let go of positionality, practice surrender and non-attachment. | Forgiveness as the path to inner peace, Holy Spirit as inner guide. |
2. Overlap
-
Primacy of Consciousness
All three see consciousness (or mind/spirit) as the fundamental reality, not matter. -
Ego as the Problem
The ego/fear-based mindset distorts perception and causes suffering. -
Love as the Solution
Love is both the highest state and the path to spiritual growth. -
Experiential Validation
They emphasize inner experience over blind belief — Campbell via simulation testing, Hawkins via direct awareness and calibration, ACIM via mind training.
3. Differences
-
Metaphysics & Language
-
Campbell uses simulation theory and digital physics metaphors.
-
Hawkins uses calibration scales and nonlinear energy fields.
-
ACIM uses Christian mystic language and dualistic undoing (Holy Spirit vs. ego).
-
-
Approach to Illusion
-
ACIM: The world is entirely illusory; salvation is remembering only God is real.
-
Hawkins: The physical world exists but is a small bandwidth of reality determined by consciousness level.
-
Campbell: The world is a functional virtual environment for growth — not “false” but “rendered.”
-
-
Path
-
ACIM: Forgiveness of illusions.
-
Hawkins: Surrender of positionalities.
-
Campbell: Iterative experiential learning through interaction.
-
4. Possible Synthesis
You could imagine a unified model like this:
-
Base Ontology: Campbell’s digital consciousness field = Hawkins’ nonlinear consciousness field = ACIM’s Mind of God (pre-separation).
-
Purpose of the “Simulation” / “Dream”: Give individuated consciousness a field for learning and re-aligning with love.
-
Progress Metric: Hawkins’ scale could serve as a “consciousness quality” meter within Campbell’s “entropy reduction” framework.
-
Practice: Blend ACIM’s radical forgiveness with Hawkins’ surrender method, guided by Campbell’s emphasis on testing in the “virtual reality” of daily life.
If you like, I can create a visual chart mapping Campbell’s entropy scale, Hawkins’ levels, and ACIM’s ego-undoing stages onto a single integrated model so you can see exactly where they align and diverge.
Would you like me to do that next?
