Bigotry:
The Dark Danger

The situation of the eye is also true for the ear. That is,
the brain is insulated from sound just as it is from light. It does
not let any sound in. Therefore, no matter how noisy the outside is,
the inside of the brain is completely silent. Nevertheless, the sharpest
sounds are perceived in the brain. In your completely silent brain,
you listen to symphonies, and hear all the noises in a crowded

place. However, if the sound level in your brain were measured by
a precise device at that moment, complete silence would be found to
prevail there.

As is the case with sharp imagery, decades of effort have been
spent in trying to generate and reproduce sound that is faithful to the
original. Sound recorders, high-fidelity systems, many electronic
devices and music systems sensing sound are all the results of such

efforts. Despite all this technology and the thousands of engineers
and experts who have been working on this endeavor, no sound has
yet been obtained that has the same sharpness and clarity as the
sound perceived by the ear.

Think of the highest-quality, highest-fidelity systems produced
by the largest company in the music industry. Even with these
devices, when sound is recorded, some of it is lost; or notice how

when you turn on a hi-fi you always hear a slight interference or stat-
ic even before the music starts. However, the sounds that are the
products of the human body's technology are extremely sharp and
clear. A human ear never perceives a sound accompanied by a hiss-

ing sound or with static as does a music set; rather, it perceives
sound exactly as it is, sharp and clear. This is the way it has been
since the creation of man. So far, no man-made video or audio
recording apparatus has been as sensitive and successful in perceiv-
ing sensory data as are the eye and the ear. However, as far as seeing
and hearing are concerned, a far greater truth lies beyond all this.
