The Center for the Unification of Science and Consciousness (CUSAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2018 by Tom Campbell, a former NASA and Department of Defense physicist. Its mission is to solve the hard problem of consciousness.

About Tom Campbell

For the past forty years, Thomas (Tom) Campbell has been focused on scientifically exploring the properties, boundaries, and abilities of consciousness. His books, videos and workshops have reached millions of people around the world and have changed lives and opened eyes to a new way of thinking about reality: a new way of understanding physics, and a new way of understanding who, what and why we are.  His model of reality represents a big picture perspective that unites the objective and subjective worlds of mind and matter, physics and metaphysics, normal and paranormal, secular and religious... and leads to both a better, more comprehensive physics and  a more peaceful, giving, and loving approach to life.

Tom Campbell's My Big TOE trilogy combines his work as a large complex systems analyst and as an explorer of the large complex system we call reality to conclude that LOVE is the fabric of our reality. 

Tom's statement “If it is not your experience, it is not your truth” highlights the message that he wishes to impart, encouraging everyone to engage with their own experiences, to learn and to evolve.

Vision

Our mission is to solve the hard problem of Consciousness. The unification of science, epistemology, ontology, and cosmology, within the context of consciousness. 

Mission statement

To create a center where physicists, biologists and neuroscientists can effectively collaborate with consciousness researchers, philosophers, and others who could potentially contribute toward the actualization of the collective vision and mission outlined by the following statements : To fully understand and experimentally confirm the logical consequences of an information-based reality. To extend the reach of science into the realm of subjective experience, thus unifying mind and matter within an over-arching understanding of consciousness. To develop fundamental knowledge and understanding, of both the self and the evolving information system that appears to be the source of all reality, through rigorous scientific investigation of both physical reality and consciousness. 

How the CUSAC Logo Was Created

The symbol of The Center for the Unification of Science and Consciousness was created by Tom Campbell, who wanted to join two symbols: The lotus often seen as the fundamental nature of consciousness and the atom, the universal symbol of science. The challenge of joining the two symbols was faced by two world renowned artists in their own right, who volunteered their time and expenses, to help Tom.  Quang Ho created the beautiful flames and how the symbols would be joined, and solved the difficult problem of integrating the two in a continuous flow. David Uhl, in close collaboration with his friend Quang, imagined the beautiful colors that bring the flames to life that you see inside both. The symbol perfectly expresses the theory described in Tom’s My Big TOE (Theory of Everything). It is deeply felt by those involved in the project, that perfection of the new symbol has been achieved. The background color represents the spectrum itself. Each color in the spectrum is individually defined by a particular wavelength, but white is the only one that includes all colors of the spectrum, and thereby expresses an inclusive view of humanity. The symbol (also called the logo) represents the goal of creating the largest, most positive, paradigm shift humanity has ever experienced.
