This is an interview with Sharon and Simon Bamber about their upcoming plein air expedition on The Way of St. James. They will be travelling 1000 miles along The Way from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, painting every 5 miles.

This week we talked about three different stories that are related - our use of technology to empower or disempower. The first was a story about the employees of Google rebelling against it's participation in Project Maven. They organized themselves and pressured management, eventually forcing them to agree to not take any more military contracts.

The second story was about the use of technology in Barcelona to empower it's citizens. Barcelona has a new major who has begun the process of using the cities smart technology to empower it's citizens to participate in how the city develops and uses the information it has access to.

The third was about the ways in which social media is manipulated to be addictive and why they care so much that you are obsessive about checking your social media accounts.

In this segment we asked Tom how much we can change reality… can we modify the rules and do things like de-age? How much can the larger consciousness system influence our lives and can it/they override our free-will? How should we deal with the negative circumstances going on in the larger world? What about the effects of violence? Is there ever a time when we should fight back?

This part 2 of a 4 part interview of an interview with physicist and author Tom Campbell. Tom wrote the trilogy "My Big TOE" where he claims that we are living in a virtual reality. In the first part we asked Tom to explain how the virtual reality works. In this part we asked him to explain how understanding the virtual reality helps us to navigate the world and our relationships. We explored how and why we would choose a particular avatar/body, what aspects of our past lives we bring forward into the next and why would anyone want to come into a life with really big challenges… it's a fascinating look at life through the eyes of Tom Campbell.

We have created this primer on Tom Campbell's theories in preparation for an interview to follow. Tom suggests that we are living in a virtual reality, that the purpose of this reality is to move away from entropy and toward order and the way to do this is to grow up and become love.
