What if Sun is not an accidental light bulb in the sky that happens to radiate the light of life and hold a family of planets in orbit? What if stars are not just random balls of plasma reacting only to the laws of physics, and accidentally forging all the elements from simple hydrogen? What if the pagans were right and the church wrong about the nature of our local star? What if humanity is a brief spark of existence in an ageless living Universe? It was not science that burned all thought of a living Sun out of our culture but a jealous church. Science maintains this religious taboo out of habit, not the scientific method. Yet as cosmologist Carl Sagan put it, "Our ancestors worshiped the Sun, and they were far from foolish.... If we must worship a power greater than ourselves, does it not make sense to revere the Sun and stars?" Sun is not a delusion and IS the light of life. Gregory Sams' book lifts the lid on a subject suppressed for centuries, looking at it in the light of science, logic and common sense. The implications are startling, revealing a Universe incorporating both intelligence and design without need of an Intelligent Designer. Foreword by Graham Hancock For those who would tick the "spiritual but not religious" box, Sun of gOd provides easy-to-digest and thought-provoking insights into what it's all about. "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 ― Reviews "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 selforganizing capacities of the entire Universe." Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Coeditor, "Varieties of Anomalous Experience" ― Reviews "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 nonhuman 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" ― Reviews "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 wellintegrated 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" ― 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 artisticscientific revelations of subtle matterenergy 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 ― Reviews "A thousand snorkelstonkers for illuminating my existence with this turbo blasting whizz into the infinite and back. What a monumental rip tide of thought - truly a marvellous book. A page turner...a life enhancing, mind provoking brain tickler...always entertaining and enlightening." --Raja Ram, Musician ― Reviews In Sun of gOd, cultural pioneer and bootstrap philosopher Gregory Sams takes a fresh look at our solar benefactor. As Sams sees it, the Sun is a living, conscious being, fully aware of itself and its place in the universe. Simply put, the Sun of gOd communicates with other
