About the Book

The billions of galaxies with stars, planets, and moons are all made of the same substance: dust from the universe. Unlike other lifeforms on Earth, humans possess consciousness—and we’ve created fields of knowledge that are stored in libraries, on the internet, and elsewhere. Even now, there are some humans that are creating new fields of knowledge, and when they die, they’ll be remembered. They will no doubt influence new thinkers that add to and expand upon their knowledge. But our fields of knowledge seem to be driving us to use enormous amounts of energy, and we need to consider alternatives, such as a worldwide power network based on solar and wind power. This book examines those ideas and many others, and while its author believes in a Creator, he thinks it’s up to individuals to decide whether to pray or not to pray. The overall message is that we must work as hard as we can in our chosen fields to become a star and shape the future for those that come after us as we continue A Journey from Dust to Consciousness.
