The Dark Danger
To Whom Does This Consciousness That Sees and
Hears within the Brain Belong?
Who watches an alluring world inside the brain, listens to sym-
phonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose
travel to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology,
physiology, and biochemistry books, you can find many details
about how this image forms in the brain. However, you will never
come across an answer to the most important question: Who per-
ceives these electro-chemical nerve impulses as images, sounds,
odors, and sensory events in the brain? There is a consciousness in
the brain that perceives all this without feeling any need for an
eye, an ear, and a nose. To whom
does this consciousness belong?
Of course, it does not belong
The images in the brain
are merely a collection of
perceptions formed by
electrical signals. No ex-
ternal world, no light or
sound exists in the brain.
