If all that we ever know are the sensory images that appear in our
minds, how can we be sure there is a physical reality behind our per-
ceptions? Is it not just an assumption? My answer is: Yes, it is an as-
sumption, nevertheless, it seems a most plausible one. 43
—Peter Russell
What we call “the external world” actually consists of the elec-
tron exchanges between minute atoms, the movement of radio
waves in the air and the imperceptible oscillations of molecules.
But do the sources of energy that transform the atoms and mole-
cules and generate radio waves actually exist? What proves their
existence? The material objects that they effect? The bodies we see,
smell or feel? Or the radio waves we hear or see? Or is it simply the
electrical signals reaching our brains through our five senses?
We learn everything about the outside world by means of our sense organs. When
the electrical signals reaching us by way of our sense organs are interrupted, the
world that exists on the outside will disappear for us alone.
