et’s summarize briefly what we discussed in the previous
chapter: We can never have a direct knowledge of the
originals of what we see, hear, touch and refer to as "matter." Actually we
interact with the perceptions that we experience in our brains. We can never
step outside our brains to get in touch with the originals of what we see,
hear, touch and so, and never can check how their originals are. There is no
technical difference between dreaming and real life; we perceive both inside
our brains. The wide world that we imagine to be so very enormous is
actually a totality of perceptions transmitted into our brains. Gigantic
galaxies, which we imagine to be billions of miles away, are actually simply
perceptions in our brains’ visual center. They are not "out in space" at all,
but right inside us.
