Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar
The better to understand this concept, let us continue thinking about
dreaming. Ask a dreamer this: "What is the source of all the perceptions you
are experiencing?" In all probability, that half-awake person will reply,
"Objects in the outside world. My eyes and ears perceive them." Yet in this
example, there is no outside world, nor any physical body to perceive it.
Everything that dreaming people experience consists merely of signals
perceived by the relevant centers in their brains.
Everything we see, hear, touch, taste and smell consists of signals
perceived by the relevant centers in the brain. Then how can we be sure that
we experience the original outside world?
Anyone who claims to be sure about this is simultaneously claiming that
he is "the little man at the top of the tower."
Why is this so? We shall see why in the next chapter.
