You have never felt the true heat of the Sun, the actual cool-
ness of the sea nor the coldness of an ice cube. Because you can
never have direct experience of the Sun, the sea or ice, and the ef-
fects they have on you are simply electrical signals.
A glass of water set in front of you is not distant from you at
all. It is not standing in front of you, it is in your brain. You perceive
an image of it in your brain.
When we imagine we are touching a glass surface, we are not

In the documentary film What the Bleep Do We Know?, Joe
Dispenza, who has a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Life

an image arising in our brain. In addition, we can never know what
difference there is between the things he perceives and what we
perceive. It is impossible for us to describe what “green” means
for us, or what a lemon smells like.
So what is real? In that regard, Joe Dispenza asks the fol-
lowing questions:
