In "My Universe A Transcendent Reality," Vary describes the transcendent nature of human consciousness and its relation to physical being. A theme throughout "My Universe" is that you and I are simultaneously in transcendent and material domains. Our consciousness transcends the material and elevates and entwines our spirits. The foundation for perceiving a transcendent reality begins with quantum phenomena by means of which we may experimentally observe evidence of the intertwining of the transcendent and material - the universe and the cosmos, respectively. From this foundation we may educe spiritual interactions that join the universal transcendent reality with the coagulate material reality, consciousness with physical being, the implicate with the explicate, separated only by a tenuous interface. Vary contends that it is incorrect to equate the cosmos with the universe because the cosmos and all possible multiple separate cosmoses are but minuscule material subsets of "the universe" which transcends material reality beyond description or measure. The gift and power of consciousness is that it joins us to the transcendent reality and the Mind of God by means of what Vary terms impossible loops which are revealed by analysis of quantum-physical phenomena. "My Universe" differs from the current literature by identifying phenomena that underlie, implement, and mediate the transcendent nature of consciousness. These reflections prompted Vary to muse about subtitling "My Universe" as "Atheist-Scientist's Guide to God."
