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

So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has been

cerned, a far greater truth lies beyond all this.

To Whom Does the Consciousness that Sees and
Hears within the Brain Belong?
Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to
symphonies 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 bio-
logy, physiology, and biochemistry books, you can find many
details about how this image forms in the brain. However, you
will never come across the most important fact: Who perceives
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 be-
long? Of course it does not belong to the nerves, the fat layer,
and neurons comprising the brain. This is why Darwinist-mate-
