Book Overview
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 jigsawpuzzle picture we have of the cosmos. In the light of a conscious Sun, Sams looks at our hardwired 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 nearuniversal selforganization 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?tomup 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.

Rated 5 starsSun as "Other-Than-Human" Person
As a monotheistic animist raised in both my traditional Native American traditions and as a Roman Catholic who finds little to no conflict in those two paths, I applaud Gregory Sams' work on this subject, reminding people of the place of the Sun in the foundations of world religious thought, and that the Sun is a Being in its own right, as the Ojibwa say, "an other-than-human person." Look at all the ancient and modern depictions...

Rated 5 starsIntelligent Universe
This is a wonderful book that examines the universe and natural world. Does the sun have some form of organizing intelligence? Is it even possible that it is just one big accident? The author first goes into the science of the sun in all of its majesty and complexity. He then asks whether we should not appreciate the sun for its life giving energy, and not take it for granted. The book both examines the wisdom of the ancients...

Rated 5 starsYou need to read this book with an open mind.
Most of us grew up brain-washed, led by "schools", media, organized religions, government, and parents (who most often were simply passing on what they were taught). This is one of the best books I've ever read and each day I looked forward to reading additional chapters. I read a number of metaphysical books years ago and none made more sense (in an easy to understand way) than Sun of gOd. There is SO much yet to be discovered,...

Rated 5 starsgreat contribution to conscious evolution
"People might look at you strangely if you tell them you believe that the Sun thinks and that it truly is a celestial being..." So begins Son of gOd, a journey with author Gregory Sams into the mysteries of the universe, from microbes and molecules to galaxies and Universal Mind. One might think, from the opening line, that this book was another new age spin on an old theme, and that we were being encouraged to jump on the...

Rated 5 starsA must-read for the unbiased thinker
In a world where blind scientism and slavish creationism have been deadlocked for a long time due to their decidedly limited and un-creative approach to Universal Life, Gregory Sams offers a rare opportunity to emancipate ourselves away from these stale battle lines. This is a very liberating book that enlists the brilliant discoveries of true Science to assist us in intuiting the breathtaking mysteries of Spirit. It shows...
