Balls of Fire

Spanning 5,000 years of history from ancient Egypt to our technoprogressive 21st century, the science reviewed in Balls of Fire builds on The Isis Thesis (2004) and 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (2005-2013). The Isis Thesis is a semiotic study of ancient Egyptian literature, artwork, ritual, and architecture, showing that ancient Egyptian deities are signs for human and microbial genes and proteins evolving into a hybrid quantum species. Since the pharaoh's ball-throwing rite is the origin of baseball, Balls of Fire uses a fantasy baseball game of dead and living thinkers to expose hidden historical knowledge about evolution and the survival of our DNA at a death transition. The study offers evidence that our behavior (baseball, myth, Christianity, alchemy, literature, art, capitalism, genetic engineering, our machinic culture, and so on) explains our potential to evolve at death into a unique hybrid species through adaptive mutation. Although élite historical rulers have veiled this knowledge, our behavior has stamped a viral footprint for evolution on the last 12,000 years of human history. Balls of Fire has been recognized as a Finalist in the 18th annual Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards under the Nonfiction Adult category of "Body, Mind, Spirit."
