What is cosmology? How does it relate to current world events and the human condition? What are the origins of modern institutions? What are the causes of violence and other behaviors destructive to our life support systems? What can we do to realize our true potential? This book, written for the intelligent general reader, answers these and related questions in a direct and surprising manner.

Discovering how religion, science, education and our popular culture are out of line with important new knowledge will change the way you live. The evidence suggests our universe is fundamentally an integral, consciously self-directing organism. Humans are local manifestations of the creative consciousness of the universe, partially responsible for its self-learning and development. Like a good crossword puzzle, the book links knowledge from disparate fields, revealing cause and effect relationships and filling blanks in out-dated academic disciplines.

Paul Von Ward is one of the first writers to reach out to the collective minds of lightworkers. Being a voice in the midst of much confusion, his book is hugely mind-changing covering everything from an indepth knowledge of Zachariah Sitchin's research to social studies, psychology, scientific (no nonsense) hard science, ...everything. I'm exceedingly nudged to make you aware of this man's deep compassion and concern for our collective awareness of who we are, where we came from, and where he sees us without more comprehension of some of these
issues.

Starting adult life as a Baptist minister, his own evolutionary journey has led him to become a cosmologist. A very bizarre and fascinating journey, he's a man to be taken seriously. His grasp of the various schools of thought, of religion, of spirituality, of future shock, social mores, inculturation, earth changes--on and on and on is nothing short of enlightening. I read a lot! I know a lot. So what did I get out of it? A wholly different and enlightened view of God. He raises questions I honestly had never thought to think of. Not a light book by any means..we are, as he says, and I agree, in the midst of very profound changes, global and galactic and the proof is everywhere. Are we ready?

A scientist to his core, Von Ward does something to the psyche that some how brings forth a broader facet of compassion that is sweet and expansive.

Our Solarian Legacy is an articulate, well-researched, intelligent compilation of new and ancient data. It is presented so that readers may contemplate the probabilities of who we, as humans, really are, how we came to be on Earth, what motivates our behavior towards each other, and why our social order exists. The primary stories of our origins (religious versions/Darwinism) are called into question when held against scientific evidence and recorded histories of many cultures. Von Ward's ability to cut through the rhetoric and peel back the layers of altered or ignored data, reveals true information rather than convenient answers. This book is the doorway to the New Story of who we are. It's up to us to cross the threshold.

Whether you are interested in religions and their calendars, concepts of time and personal potential, unrevealed discoveries, or research into the latest principles of human truth, Paul Von Ward leads us into a new era of awareness. Reading this book is like listening to a man who has been alive on planet earth for millennia and understands the implications of every discovery already brought to light, and a few that have yet to be acknowledged. He shows what a truly aware human being is capable of, in the light of ancient truth, artifacts and modern pursuits into the subtle sciences. I loved every page and drank deeply of this book. It's all one river of consciousness here!

Whether you are a beginner in your search for how we fit into this universe or well down the road, OUR SOLARIAN LEGACY is a "must read." Paul Von Ward has done an extraordinary amount of research for this excellent book. It is broad and comprehensive thus providing and overview of many areas of research for the beginner to further consider and to help the well-traveled pull together loose ends. With insight and clarity he emphasizes that this self-learning universe is a manifestation of conscious energy that has created us as way of experiencing itself, and that we are designed to actively participate in its expression. With that in mind, we never have to feel separate from anything else.

We are children of the world, the universe, the solar system, and ours is a solarian legacy. We are not mere products of natural selection or clay worked by a Maker. We are instrumental parts of a conscious, self-learning universe. The longer we ignore the implications and obscure the facts, the longer we will grope blindly (and dishonestly) through a narrow alley of conscious awareness.

What causes this blind groping? What causes us to block out the idea or realization that we, as holographic portions and children of the universe, are probably endowed with the same miracle producing power we delegate to gods and angels? The cause of our blindness is our steadfast refusal to take responsibility for who and what we are. We deny our identity and buy into the notion that we are victims and lowly creatures... and for all we know, there may have been such a thing as alien intervention at some point in our evolution, which may have fostered this feeling. Nevertheless, we seem to feel secure when we conclude that our best minds have everything figured out. The truth is, we avoid responsibility every time we argue that, "experts say," "science says," "the bible says," "God says!" How many people are in mental chains because of someone who claims to speak for God?

Thousands say they have had encounters with aliens or advanced beings (ABs), yet, instead of seriously studying these encounters in an attempt to develop some understanding of life and consciousness, governments and mainstream scientists write off such claims as delusional or fraudulent. Meanwhile, believers may secretly worship/fear ABs as our good or bad superiors instead of viewing them as our other-dimensional siblings.

Myths, stories and channeled histories of Atlantis persist, yet we make no formal effort to uncover evidence or shed further light. The same goes for investigating the paranormal, uncovering our relationship to plants and animals, or finding whether there was ever life on Mars. These are just a few of the many things written off as unscientific (or at least, not financially profitable). If we study the connections rather than the differences between things, we might uncover important patterns and hidden laws. We've had science, now we need a metascience that looks for dynamics. We need a 21st Century discipline that includes rather than excludes evidence-- in fact, we need to develop a perspective that transcends science and religion.

The author presents a very thoughtful, clearminded overview of humanity and and our unique place in the cosmos. This work is really an overview of the many areas of our thought, culture and tradition which require reassesment and change. It is with my most hardy recommendation that you read this book and benefit from Mr. Von Ward's seeming endless supply of wisdom and insight. Because of the liberal references provided it can also serve as a launch point for many areas of further study. The ethical and moral conclusions he draws from an honest and fearless consideration of the broader aspects of ourselves leaves us with a foundation as eloquent as any of the world's great religions, if not more so. Do yourself and perhaps the world a favor; read and learn what this book has to teach us.

Being an avid ancient history buff has taken me in some really interesting directions lately. So much is being discovered so fast that it's a real challenge to keep up. It has become quite evident that mankind has been heading down a deteriorating road ever since the stuff really hit the fan somewhere around 11,500 to 13,000 years ago. There is so much of human experience that has been lost. This whole caveman\stone age thing until the birth of civilization 6,000 years ago is ridiculous.It is refreshing to see the disconcerting habit of 'mainstream' science to ignore whatever doesn't fit its entrenched consensus, posing as fact, so rigorously assaulted. Mr Von Ward's call for a new metascience is long overdue. Want to see where your prejudices lie regarding who and what you are, and what mankind has been up to for the last 100,000 years or so? Read this book. A bit dry in parts, but very thought-provoking. The Hermetic principles of the ancient world still have much to teach!

I had high expectations of this book, but they really weren't fulfilled. The essence of the author's hypothesis is that ETs are behind the origins of humanity. That's fair enough, and he presents a lot of supporting evidence, but there are simply too many holes. Nevertheless, I applaud his conviction that neither Darwinian evolution nor biblical fundamentalism have relevance in the quantum age.

I thought the ideas presented in this book were very interesting but I dunno maybe it's the way it's written or a bit beyond my scope. I didn't find it very interesting or readable. I stuck with it for as long as I could before I gave up and got rid of it. I didn't even get halfway through the book. I can see some of the points he was making though.
