Gregory Sams (born 1948) is a UK-based, American-born, fractal artist, social thinker, author, publisher, inventor, macrobioticist and creator of the veggie burger.
[edit] Life and works
Greg moved to London and, aged 19, opened SEED, a macrobiotic restaurant in Paddington with his brother Craig Sams in 1968.
SEED Restaurant soon became popular with the 1960s London psychedelic scene, and was frequented by John Lennon among others, who drew a cartoon about his experiences at SEED.[1]
The Sams brothers opened a specialised macrobiotic foodshop, Ceres
Grain, the following year. To spread the word about Ceres and SEED, Greg
published three editions of a specialised magazine called 'Harmony'.
During the 1970s, Greg, his brother Craig and their father Ken edited
and published a magazine called 'Seed, the Journal of Organic Living'
over a seven year period.
In 1970 Greg and Craig set up Harmony Foods, which eventually became known as Whole Earth Foods.
In 1982, Greg left Whole Earth Foods with his brother who went on to become chairperson of the Soil Association, and develop Green & Blacks organic chocolate with his partner. Greg went on to invent the first veggie burger, which he christened VegeBurger, which became a worldwide success.[2]
In 1990, Greg opened in London Strange Attractions, the only shop in the world dedicated to the chaos theory. He became famous for his fractal art, his designs adorning postcards, t-shirts and textiles all over the world.
An enthusiast of the counterculture movement, such as the non-violent direct action street reclaiming events in the UK and elsewhere such as Reclaim the Streets, Greg Sams began writing books that were promoted at these events, as well as during various trance music, psytrance and acid techno raves and free parties around the UK. Uncommon Sense - the State is Out of Date was published in 1998 to great acclaim, showing the importance of chaos theory in the way we live - and should live - our lives. In 2006 he completed a new book, Sun of gOd - Discover the Self-Organizing Consciousness That Underlies Everything.
Greg has been a regular on the world music festival scene ever since he provided the macrobiotic catering at the first Glastonbury Festival
in 1970. A regular of events such as Pendragon at the now defunct
Tyssen Street Theatre Factory, he still travels to worldwide music
festivals, solar eclipses, and festivals such as The Glade. He was interviewed on the Liquid Crystal Vision film which has been viewed at many festivals worldwide.
Greg has been a wheelchair user since falling from a tree whilst a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley.[3]

 Greg Sams bball |  Gregory Sams - Stardust & Stellar Consciousness - preview www.pentos.tv
- We are made of stardust and powered by starlight. Is it any wonder
our ancestors placed Sun in the pantheon of gods wherever it shone upon
the planet? Greg will show how today's cosmological discovery sits more
comfortably with an ancient understanding of stellar consciousness than
with a mechanical dumb-ball-of-gas headset. Gregory Sams has been
bringing novel concepts to the culture since the age of 19, when, in
1967, he and brother Craig introduced organic and natural foods to the
UK marketplace. After 15 yrs of catering, Seed Magazine, Ceres Grain
Store & Bakery, Harmony & Whole Earth Foods, in 1982 Gregory
conceived and christened the original Vegeburger, creating a marketplace
for vegetarian food. Leaving food for fractals in 1990, he opened
Strange Attractions, the world's only shop dedicated to chaos theory.
This led to his first book, Uncommon Sense, the State is Out of Date,
applying chaos theory to social organization. His last book, Sun of gOd,
Discover the Self-Organizing Principle that Underlies Everything,
re-introduces us to our local star. www.gregorsams.com Filmed at Eternal
Knowledge Festival, Suffolk, April 2012 by Pentos TV. http |  Sun of gOd - the taboo-busting book by Gregory Sams www.youtube.com
gregorysams.com In his taboo-busting new book, Gregory Sams explores
the cosmic web of existence in the light of a conscious Sun. The
ancients perceived heavenly bodies to be sentient and divine, until such
perceptions were banned. Sun of gOd brings our local star back in from
the cold, to reveal a Universe filled with intelligence and design that
needs no Intelligent Designer. - Song 'Sun is Shining', from Fireman

is raw footage from the legendary series of Warp Experiences @ The
Drome which is now the SE1 club under the arches of London bridge
station UK. You will see some significant characters from the
alternative scene including the younger selves of king arthur, rollo,
snakes, suzanna, fraser clark, rosie, brian barritt, caress, brian
viziondanz, scooby, the green angels, greg and dominic, paul rogue,
raga, big kirky, good jeff, pony, greg sams, shayne, steve peak, and
damn near everybody. It was the wild edge energy that made it it all so
exciting - breaking new ground, not micro managed. Plus, of course, the
unique 24 hour dimension which allowed hundreds to fall asleep and wake
again STILL IN "THIS FUTURE PERFECT WORLD" of The Warp Experience. No 8
hour club can approach such a sense of Family and Shared World. The Warp
Experience was a 24 hour play/event "edutainment", initiated and held
together by Fraser Clark,of megatripolis and Encyclopeadia Psychedelica
fame, which took place through 1999 - a paradigm shift in
clubbing/theatre - a wave that now shows up in today's Synergy Project,

some extent such as the Buddhafield Festival, Small World and, indeed,
