162 Is Rumism A Threat?

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 static 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 hissing 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 perceiving 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.

Signals from an object affect the brain
by turning into electrical signals. When
we say we see something, we are actu-
ally experiencing the effect of electrical
signals in our brain. The brain is closed
off to light. The interior of the brain is
pitch black, and no light can enter
where the brain is. The area known as
the visual cortex is pitch black, some-
where that light can never reach, darker
perhaps than anywhere you have ever
seen. But you watch a brightly colored
world in that pitch dark.
