forts. 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 de-
vices, 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.

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 perceives these
