Summary: As the title implies, a "structure" of consciousness
Review: Being well trained in Quantum Relativity some years ago, I am no stranger to Quantum Physics nor Relativity. Consciousness was always a main topic for me as well. I found this book to be consistent with science and philosophy. It is a well presented argument for what the title implies, a structure of consciousness. However; it leaves the age old difficult problem of what consciousness is unaddressed. Perhaps rightly so. Anyone who would profess to know what consciousness is, would be a fool or a liar in my opinion. The "hard" problem of consciousness remains the "hard" problem. However, how it functions without referring to what it is, is well described in this book.Many without a good background in quantum theory and relativity would find the scientific explanations perhaps too difficult to understand or appreciate. But, if you want an explanation of how consciousness works, and you are willing to understand the physics of it, I recommend this book. I have also studied and tried many things in this world, and oddly enough, the author's conclusions are quit similar to some of Scientology's main anxioms. This may sound surprising to many, however, truth comes from many sources, not one. The origin of consciousness and mankind, remain what they are, our great mystery. To fool oneself into believing one knows all, is just that, foolishness. Let that be my words of wisdom to scientists and scientologists alike. However, if you accept what physics has discovered and accept that you are a conscious being (perhaps spirit if I may use the word), you will find the explanations very interesting, bordering upon "the truth".

Summary: Interesting, Complex, and Insightful
Review: I found this book incredibly interesting...as well as linguistically arduous. Avery has a daedal idea of consciousness and dimensionality. His unique views have definitely impacted my hardcore empirical, materialistic philosophy persona. I highly recommend this book to those who are well read in the subject already and semantically sound. Though I did not understand his entire argument (and will undoubtedly have to read it again and again to reach some sort of "complete" understanding), I found this read worth every second I gave it! My only complaints would be his lack of clarity at times...it was difficult to visualize his argument, but with effort, is possible. ...Awesome, awesome ideas...wow

Summary: One of the BEST BOOKS on this topic
Review: I have read more than 20 books on this topic, and this is the best. It is the best analysis of consciousness I have encountered. A must read.

Summary: Immaterial
Review: I wanted to like this book, based on the book's description, since I am intrigued by off-beat solutions to such 'standard' problems. However, I found it quite incoherent.
The book intersperses a few smidges of science history (double-slit experiment, equation for special relativity, etc.) with (what I found to be) mostly unclear and poorly structured 'arguments'. When I got to the section on "Light as an Intercellullar Medium" I was glad the end of the book was near.
As someone used to reading philosophy and quantum mechanics I usually feel at home with complex, mind-bending arguments. But, sadly, here I can find no coherence to the words on the pages.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE READ ON THE SUBJECT BETWEEN CONSCIOUSNESS AND OUR SENSORIAL REALITY. SPECIALLY USEFUL FOR ME WAS HIS EXPLANATION ON LIGHT AS A LIMITED OR IMPERFECT MEDIUM FOR FURTHER WAYS OF PERCEPTION.

Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: The essence of the book revolves around the idea that was part of all inner teachings of spiritual traditions and is now part of the quantum physics - that the universe is composed out of intelligent energy, and that therefore physical reality is also composed out of energy, which appears solid to physical senses only because our senses register particular vibrations as solid. From this worldview, a thought of a table is just as real as the table - the only difference is that they vibrate at different frequencies and are thus said to exist in different dimensions.

Summary: A New Approach To The Basis of Everything
Review: This book leads beyond the basic immateriality of the universe as posited by particle physics and quantum mechanics. His thesis is that consciousness is the basis of everything and he has an interesting theory of dimensionality in its various ramifications. Most of the books on modern physics do not explore any theory of consciousness at all, so this one is a refreshing and interesting change. I recommend it highly to all those
interested in philosophy and physics.

Summary: A small book that tells a lot
Review: This is a small book and it goes straight to the point - no beating around the bush. It will help you to grasp the process of thoughts transforming into material reality and the fact that the only difference between a thought and a tangible thing is a difference in vibration (dimension).
If you only read through the book, all that you will have left is a little bit more of intellectual understanding - but don't stop there. Armed with understanding about the fact that your thoughts influence the energy, which expresses as matter, create your own experiments, use your mind to intend specific outcomes and create the experiences in your life you'd like to have.
The understanding from this book will open new doors for you, making you aware of the fact that some things which might have seemed impossible before are possible, if you invest your thoughts to create them.
