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
bot-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.
