In the same way, a person who goes to a meeting and gives a
speech is really talking to the crowd within his brain. This person
only imagines that he has been able to speak in front of a large audi-
ence. In other words, the person making the speech is incapable of
leaving the meeting place inside his brain. The individuals who
make up the crowd also see the speaker in their own individual
brains. All the words and the shouting and the crowd of people have
to remain within the brain.
Thus, acting according to the existence of a thing whose reality
he has never been able to directly experience, placing value on peo-
ple whose real selves he has never been able to address and possess-
ing goods whose reality he has never been able to touch is a state of
extreme meaninglessness for a person who cannot step out of the
images in his brain. We can use the analogy of dreaming to consider
this further. For instance in a dream, even if the food you can smell,
whose appearance you can see and whose heat you can feel does not
exist in reality, you may still be able to taste that dish and even feel
its heat burning your tongue. Or you may dream of being late for an

important task for which you are responsible, the nervousness aris-
ing from this and the excuses which you are thinking of offering in
full detail, just as in real life. Until you awake from the dream, you
may be totally convinced of the reality of what you are experiencing.
These deceptions experienced in the dream may also apply to the
world in which you find yourself.
This is a clear scientific truth which people who are overly at-
tached to this world do not want to consider. No matter how hard
they try to escape from it, no matter how much they resist accepting
it, it is a truth which they cannot actually avoid. Above all it is a
