never left that room. You have never stepped outside it or been anywhere
else. All you have seen are different shapes, people and spaces reflected on
the walls of that room. You have heard only the sounds emitted from
loudspeakers concealed in there. In fact, in that little room at the top of the
tower, there is nobody else but you. You are entirely alone!
The "tower" we are speaking of is your body, and the little room atop it
(in other words, your world) is your brain.
Your brain is a locked room which you can never step out of, because
everything you imagine to be the original matter in reality consists of
perceptions you experience in the visual or hearing centers of your brain.
You can never get past those perceptions and experience directly the "real
matter," in other words the original matter that exists outside your brains.
You can watch the electrical signals arriving at the brain’s visual center, but
you can never see those signals’ true source. You literally watch the cinema
screen on the walls of your "room," but can never directly experience the
originals of those images.
We shall be setting out that truth in this book. What we explain here will,
in all likelihood, contradict a great many ideas and concepts that you’ve
become familiar with so far. Yet it is a concrete fact based on scientific
proof. Therefore, it’s impossible to reject this truth when one thinks about it
in a reasoned and logical manner, instead of sticking to familiar
preconceptions.
Never forget that ignoring the truth or refusing to think about it gains a
person nothing. If anyone says, "No, I live on a planet in an enormous
universe, not in a closed room," then he needs to prove the fact. If he cannot
do so, then blind belief in any such idea will only lead to his remaining
deceived.
