New book – Sun of gOd by Gregory Sams
“Sun of gOd presents a perfectly outrageous hypothesis: The sun is a conscious, living organism residing in a thriving galactic community, thinking stellar thoughts that span the entire universe. Surely this is nonsense. Except that the more you read the more a conscious universe begins to make sense. Gregory Sams’ book is a clearly written and persuasively reasoned argument to think about the sun in a radically new and refreshing way.” –Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences
Discover the Self-Organizing Consciousness That Underlies Everything in this new book by Philosopher and author Gregory Sams. Released to the publish May 2009.
Sun of gOd: Discover the Self-Organizing Consciousness That Underlies Everything
by Gregory Sams
Could the ancient Sumerians, Chaldeans and Assyrians, the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, the Maya, Inca and Aztec, and the early Nordic, Celtic and Native Americans cultures have known something that we do not? Could the Christians have gotten it wrong? What is it about the night sky that so fascinated ancient people, and led them to build their most enduring monuments in harmony with and in homage to celestial bodies?
Could a microscopic organism be exercising more free will in its dietary choices than does the average American?
Can a tree be tickled by the ripple of a breeze; an ocean know its currentsĀ¹ flow; a mountain feel its majesty?
Where does light travel so slowly that it can take a million years to cover the distance that would usually take one second?
What are the similarities between our own brains and the galaxy in which our personal star resides?
In the light of a conscious Sun, discover a Universe brimming with intelligence and design that needs no Intelligent Designer
to exist.
Product Description
In Sun of gOd, cultural pioneer and philosopher Gregory Sams takes a fresh look at our solar benefactor. As Sams sees it cultures throughout the ancient world were right to recognize the Sun as a living, conscious being. The implications of a conscious provider in the sky are startling, though often obvious — and in harmony with science, logic and common sense.
Sun of gOd explores exciting new ground, adding a crucial piece to the jigsaw-puzzle picture we have of the cosmos. In the light of a conscious Sun, Sams looks at our hard-wired tendency for religion, notions of god and divinity, our place in the firmament, star formation, intelligent light, electromagnetism, feedback, chaos theory, free will, the four elements, and the near-universal self-organization of systems from the bottom up.
“Could it really be that the universe waited 13.7 billion years — until we came along — to manifest the phenomenon of consciousness and made ours the only type of vessel able to experience it?” Sams thinks not. Citing David Bohm’s discovery that even on the subatomic level of electrons there appears to be intention and choice, Sams goes on to suggest that creative intelligence may be a botĀ¬tom-up system in which “everything, from a molecule of water to a neuron in our brain to the Sun itself, is a part of the bottom that is subtly steering a greater whole.” From this perspective, he smoothly joins the microcosm to the macrocosm, revealing a Universe incorporating both intelligence and design, with no need for an Intelligent Designer.
Editorial Reviews
“Gregory Sams’ “Sun of gOd” is one of those most rare books, an unpretentious book of wisdom. On consciousness; on bizarre restrictions and outrageous interpretations loaded on it by profiteering exploiters of humans’ instinctive reverence for cosmos’ interconnections so brilliantly discovered by courageous astronomers; and, in a revelatory and touching way, on the beauty and sublimity of awareness which manifests in all animals and humans and all artistic-scientific revelations of subtle matter-energy transforms. Acute, apt quotations from sages and philosophers alone justify the book. But best of all, Gregory Sams allows us to experience his pellucid perceptions and exhilarating joie de vivre. Be careful! They might be catching.” –John Allen, Chairman, Global Ecotechnics and Inventor, Biosphere 2 Project
“Modern science has confirmed a belief held by many ancient cultures: solar activity is closely linked with human behavior. Moreover, Gregory Sams asserts that the Sun is endowed with intelligence and consciousness. In the brilliantly articulated chapters of this remarkable book, he also provides a provocative paradigm for understanding the self-organizing capacities of the entire Universe.” –Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Co-editor, “Varieties of Anomalous Experience”
“Sun of gOd presents a perfectly outrageous hypothesis: The sun is a conscious, living organism residing in a thriving galactic community, thinking stellar thoughts that span the entire universe. Surely this is nonsense. Except that the more you read the more a conscious universe begins to make sense. Gregory Sams’ book is a clearly written and persuasively reasoned argument to think about the sun in a radically new and refreshing way.” –Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences
“I was prepared to dislike this book. “The sun is a conscious being.” — what a preposterous notion! Yet if you are prepared to entertain this peculiar hypothesis, Gregory Sams will entertain you with unusual and engaging justifications for an apparently preposterous hypothesis. Someday when scientists are able to directly connect with non-human consciousnesses, they may discover that the sun is indeed a conscious being, and that Gregory Sams (and numerous cultures of sun worshippers) had anticipated this discovery by purely philosophical means.” –Nick Herbert, author of “Quantum Reality”, “Faster than Light”, and “Elemental Mind”
“Simply one of the wisest, most lucid, and thoughtfully written books that I’ve ever read on spirituality. Gregory Sams illuminates and clarifies my vague intuition about the cosmos being a living organism, and adds flesh to my childhood hunch that every aspect of the universe is imbued with spirit. An unusually insightful and well-integrated exploration of the origins of religion and the evolution of consciousness that radically refreshes our view of the world.” –David Jay Brown, co-author of “Mavericks of the Mind and Conversations at the Edge of the Apocalypse”
