"...If Campbell had simply called "consciousness" "God", he would have done well; and even a child could then understand him. There is then only one constraint that matters, namely, God; making the "theory" of this God the ultimate in "fundamental"..."

Exactly. What English speakers label 'God' is the field of consciousness in which all phenomena and all fields exist.

"If they came from a planet or "city" with the gravity of the moon, they wouldn't have the strength to stand on earth; "

That would only be relevant to things made from matter. My guess is that they are composed of a subtler form of energy unaffected by typical physical forces.

"I imagine the "Big Bang" going backwards in time (quite possible, in the realm of "consciousness", as Campbell puts it, or "God" as I prefer),"

'Time' is contained in that shrinking ball as well - and you're watching it from a realm outside 'time'.
