What he is arguing against is the idea that there is a parallel universe out there which can only be accessed when we die. His world is the Pauline world. It is the world of the letter to the Colossians that declares the nature of Christ who is all in all. In Him all things consist. The very cosmos is held together by Him. He is the creator of the world. He also occupies His created world and does not live in a parallel universe. There is no one beyond God, in Christ, out there.
Avery's argument is that most of our problems in understanding have come from the fact that the Christian Gospel has been occulted. That is the Gospel has been hidden. In addition to that, science has become a false religion. The two together have maintained a false equilibrium. The Gospel message has been hidden, and science has failed to speak the truth.
Avery lays a portion of the blame for the hidden Gospel on our failure to declare what the true nature of man is. Unlike most theologians he does not see man as a bi-unity, body and soul, nor as a trinity, body, soul, and spirit, but as a quaternion, heart, soul, mind, and strength. He draws this understanding from the New Testament as a whole. He also draws it from the words of Jesus who said that we were to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Of particular concern to Avery is loving God with all our mind, which he believes has been underused in our modern understanding of the Christian faith. He is concerned that much of the occulting of the Gospel has come about because the Gospel has been hidden behind emotion. It has not been marched out into the light of reason and the mind where it can shine with its true brightness.
His description of God is also Biblical. He describes God as I AM ONE LIVING. That means that God has an eternal existence, an undivided oneness, and is God of the living. He calls this the Domain Triad.
The most fascinating section of the book is the section where he proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Christ is a hyper space alien. Not only that, Christ crowds out the very possibility of there being any other space aliens outside of Himself. He visited the earth from hyper space and by a cosmic operation set men free. The operation that He performed joined them to His death, resurrection, and ascension. The present place where we who have trusted in the Gospel now reside is in the third heaven at the right hand of God the Father. We are in Christ and He is in us. He is our all in all.
The first section that I turned to was not the introduction. It was the section in which Avery recounts six conversations with people of various beliefs. When I first read this section I did not realize that this section formed the background for the entire book. It only became apparent later. His purpose is to communicate the Gospel in all of its truth and power to people like these. Alien Physics is written to provide a tool for discovering the truth of the Gospel.
Even though there were a number of belief structures involved, in the people he interviewed, none of them comprehended that what Christ did was an actual physical operation that changed things forever. Neither could they understand that access to God's benefits was available now. The concept of Christ filling the entire cosmos was also foreign to them. Nevertheless all of these concepts are the Biblical understanding.
Furthermore there was a wide spread belief in aliens from other planets among them. This is a concept that becomes impossible when you understand the Biblical concept of a creator who fills all in all.
I must confess that, when I got to the section concerning Avery's having written a letter to Life Magazine, I stopped reading for several days. It seemed just too outrageous to me that he would write that he was a hyper space alien. Beyond that he wrote that he had the answers to the questions included in an article in Life Magazine.
After several days I came back to the book. In the meantime I had become convinced that what Avery said was true. We, in fact, by our faith in Jesus Christ, have been joined to Christ. If He is an alien from hyper space, so are we. Paul said as much. The book of Ephesians states: "We are seated in the heavenlies.'' We reside in the third heaven. What does that make us? We are brothers of Christ. If He is an alien, who are we?
Avery includes a critique of the book and the movie, Contact. The book was written by Carl Sagan. The movie starred Matthew McConaughey and Jodie Foster. McConaughey's character was a former preacher, and Foster's character was a scientist. Avery pointed out that both were unbelievers. Both failed to recognize the truth of the Bible. Both presented a false picture of the universe. They were looking for truth to come from alien intelligence. The United States government reproduced their error by setting up a similar scheme to Sagan's book in NASA-SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial intelligence).
I first thought Avery's contact with NASA via "Life Magazine" was outrageous. I now see it as common sense. After all SETI cost the American tax payers millions of dollars with out a single result. Avery's letter did provide the answers at no cost to the tax-payer.
In any case, I have not read a more provocative book in years. Indeed it is as he states as a chapter heading: "Heuristic Value of Alien Physics." Heuristic means an aid to discovery. This book, Alien Physics, has aided me in discovering a God who is far greater than I ever dreamed.

The first thing that should be said is that unlike many books on a religious theme it does not give the usual `Sermon from the Mount'. It does not extoll you to be good so that you may go to heaven and avoid the fires of hell. It is a far more surprising book than that. The book makes an extraordinary claim, a claim that at first may appear to be preposterous. What this book proposes appears to be in direct conflict with all I had been taught as a child in Sunday School about the existence of God and Heaven.
`Alien Physics' is saying that Heaven is not a spiritual, etherial world that can only be experienced after we have died. It says that God is not a semi-mystical being that again we can only meet after death. `Alien Physics' is all about explaining how we are now already living in Heaven, and living in God. God is all around us, that we are indeed part of God, not part of God in some spiritual only sense, but part of God because He is the Universe that we live in, God is space itself!
I quote from the book. "Jesus tells us where he came from, where he is going, and where he was at the time he spoke these words to his disciples. He came from the heavens above us and was going to return to that place and that is where he was when he was speaking. Heaven is the one and only domain for both God and man. There is no other world of any kind."
`Alien Physics' also explains the transformation needed by man in order to truly become a part of the cosmos of God. Avery does not pluck his ideas out of the air, these are not his idle thoughts and theories simply dreamed up because he likes them. He has taken all the arguments from the bible itself. Every thought expressed, every idea presented, is firmly backed up by giving direct quotes from the bible. I have to admit that I find this version of God and the Universe to be far more acceptable than the version I had been taught as a child. This gives the Universe itself meaning and intelligence - the Universe is God, God is the Universe - as it does our own existence, for we are all part of the Universe.
I do admit to having a problem with fully understanding how man can be `transformed' in the manner described in the book, but this is not due to any vagueness of description in the book, on the contrary everything is clearly explained in great detail, but is down to my way of thinking and always looking for hard concrete proof. The book itself is well written, factual in its biblical references, and clear in its explanations. I have to admit that I am not a great lover of quotes and references from the bible, I tend to find these things tedious, but for students of the bible, for those with a genuine interest in what the bible teaches us, then Avery's use of biblical text will no doubt be a source of much interest and much debate.
No matter what your religious beliefs may be, this is an extremely interesting and thought provoking book for all people.
I thoroughly recommend that you read it.

I should begin by making it known at the outset that I am not what you may describe as a `religious person'. I do not accept that God must exist, but do accept that it is impossible to prove that God does not exist. It is impossible to prove the non-existence of anything.
Ron Avery and I have exchanged many emails over a long period on this subject, and I found the exchange to be most informative. I argued that his belief in God was founded on nothing more than faith, and as a `scientific thinking man' I argued that this was hardly a reason for believing in anything. Ron replied that as a `scientific thinking man' all my accepted facts and theories were also based on nothing more than faith. What nonsense I replied! However, he is right. Every axiom, every `given', every hypothesis, starts with a basic assumption from which to begin, it starts with having faith in something. This came as a great surprise to me for I had argued with Ron that I had no faith at all and only believed in facts.
How then could I now scoff at his faith in God when I have only the same faith in science?
While on the subject of faith I have to admit that I had previously always associated the word with `blind'. For `faith read `blind faith'. Since corresponding with Ron I now realise how mistaken this concept is. Faith does not require that you abandon all reason, judgement, logic, common sense and doubt, it allows all of these things, in fact it requires them. To accept a thing because you believe you must, is showing a complete lack of faith, you would have no reason to believe it, so how could you demonstrate faith in it? It is surprising what you can learn sometimes if you only open your mind and actually listen to people.
I have now set the scene for giving a critique of Ron's book `Alien Physics'. You now understand that I tend to be a logical thinking person that looks for hard facts. I am not a `religious minded person' and I do not attend any church. So what do I make of the book?

It does not extoll you to be good so that you may go to heaven and avoid the fires of hell. It is a far more surprising book than that.

This gives the Universe itself meaning and intelligence - the Universe is God, God is the Universe - as it does our own existence, for we are all part of the Universe. Indeed this theme is one that I have proposed myself, that we and the Universe are one and the same thing, and that our consciousness is the self-awareness of the Universe. What I had perviously failed to see was the implication that this is precisely what God is.

Written in a Spirit-inspired style, Avery elucidates and explores eternal space and time. He consequently brings us in touch with the world of the infinite. According to him Jesus Christ sublimated the cosmos and the devil was casted into the pit, has been released for a while and we are awaiting...

The prohecies concerning Damascus and the splitting of the Mount of Olives came to my mind as two of a few that haven't been fulfilled. Avery prefers to focuss on a new celestial world (or sees the fulfillment of these symbolically).

In a world plagued and obsessed by thoughts about alien invaders, costly space journeys and a division of science and religion this book breathes a renewed message of a world within.
