The sun at the center of our solar system is the source of all life on Earth. Its light has within itself not only the force that drives life but the intelligence that informs it.

When Jesus asked his disciples, “Whom do they say that I, the Son/Sun of Man, am?”, we could take it something like the following: “The life (and the intelligence that informs it) within you and me – is it the product of our physical chemistry, or is it a manifestation of the universal life of God?”

Are we, as living sentient beings, separate entities? Or, at the core of our being, are we one with the Whole? This is a basic spiritual question.
