brain is insulated from sound just as it is from light. It does not let
any sound in. Therefore, no matter how noisy is the outside, the in-

side of the brain is completely silent. Nevertheless, the sharpest
sounds are perceived in the brain. In your completely silent brain,
you listen to symphonies, and hear all of the noises in a crowd-
ed place. However, were the sound level in your brain measured
by a precise device at that moment, complete silence would be
found to be prevailing there.
As is the case with imagery, decades of effort have been spent
in trying to generate and reproduce sound that is faithful to the orig-
inal. The results of these efforts are sound recorders, high-fidelity
systems, and systems for sensing sound. Despite all of this technol-
ogy 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 hi-fi systems produced by the largest
company in the music industry. Even in these devices, when sound
is recorded some of it is lost; or when you turn on a hi-fi you always
hear a hissing sound 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 atmospherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it per-
ceives 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 visual or 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.
