The Tower and the Closed Chamber at Its

Summit

The image of the tower, which constitutes the title of this book, is just a
metaphor we’ve used to help clarify the subject.

Its meaning is this: If you maintain that you directly interact with the
originals of the world and of your body, which exist outside your brain, then
you must accept the existence of a giant body that carries all these images
inside his skull. In that case, inasmuch as you perceive everything in your
brain, you are a tiny person locked into a tiny room, atop a giant tower.

How do we arrive at this conclusion? Let us consider, stage by stage:

1) Look around you at this moment, and you’ll see a large number of
objects: furniture, walls, houses, people, cars, sky—and in addition to all
these, your own body. All of these objects, including your own body, reside
in the same place.

2) Where is that? Recall the explanations in the preceding pages, and
you’ll realize that this "place" is nowhere but in the visual center within your
brain. In other words, the entire world you deal with, including your own
body, is in an area of just a few cubic centimeters behind your brain, in your
skull. At this very moment, you’re looking at this book in that area in your
brain. The hands that you see, and feel, as you turn these pages are also
inside the visual and touch centers in your brain. All the organs in your body
are located in the same place. The chair you sit in as you read and the room
which houses that chair, are all there too.
