“Distance” has been created for us solely as a sensation. As
has already pointed out, there is actually no distance between us
and someone we think is approaching from further away. The per-
son we behold has been created on a single plane in our brain. Our
sensation of distance is merely the brain’s interpretation. So ab-
solute is our belief that this other person is at a distance that we
shout in order to make ourselves heard and run to catch up with
him. In fact, however, that person is at exactly the same place as
ourselves. Every square centimeter we imagine that we run across
is actually part of an image existing in our brain. In fact, we do not
move; the other person comes no closer to us and draws no further
away. Everything is observed solely in a minute point inside the
brain.

We are so convinced that the other person is at a
distance from us that we shout in order to make
ourselves heard and run to catch up with him. The
fact is, however, that the person we are trying to
catch up with is in exactly the same place as us. We
do not move, and the other person does not ap-
proach us. The whole image and all the distance
are created as perceptions inside the brain.
