We are sure that we see
the true state of the ob-
ject we look at in the ex-
ternal world. In fact,
however, we can never
have direct experience
of the original of that
object. What we see is
simply an illusion, as in
the three-dimensional
illustration made on the
ground in the illustra-
tion. It is something
produced by the mind.
However, we never feel
the slightest doubt that
we are experiencing the
original outside images.

That being the case, what is happening is not an illusion, and
it would be more accurate to describe it as a phantom.
The world we possess is formed solely in our perceptions.
There is nobody else who sees this world as we do, who experi-
ences the same perceptions, or who witnesses the same world.
Neither is what we see any part of our brain. The brain is also with-
in this same phantom image. Our perceptions constitute a world
that is shown to and created for us. There is indeed a reality out-
side, a material world, but human beings can never reach it.
As Erwin Schrödinger, one of the discoverers of quantum
physics, stated, “Every man’s world picture is and always re-
mains a construct of his mind, and cannot be proved to have any
other existence.” 56
