fruit. If the sight nerve travelling to the brain were to be severed
suddenly, the image of the fruit would suddenly disappear.
Similarly a disconnection in the nerve travelling from the sensors
in the nose to the brain would completely destroy the sense of
smell. Simply put, the fruit is nothing but the interpretation of
electrical signals by the brain.
Another point to be considered is the sense of distance. Take,
for example, the distance between you and this book. It is only a
feeling of emptiness formed in your brain. Objects that seem to be
distant to the human being likewise exist in the brain. For instance,
someone who watches the stars in the sky assumes that they are
millions of light-years away from him. Yet what he "sees" are re-
ally the stars inside himself, in his centre of vision. While you read
these lines, you are, in fact, not inside the room you assume you
are in; on the contrary, the room is inside you. Your seeing your
body makes you think that you are inside it. However, you must
remember that you have never seen your original body, either; you
have always seen a copy of it formed inside your brain.
The same applies to all your other perceptions. For instance,
when you think that you hear the sound of the television in the
next room, you are actually experiencing the sound inside your
brain. Both the sound you imagine to be coming from metres
away and the conversation of a person right next to you are per-
ceived in a centre of hearing measuring a few cubic centimetres
inside your brain. Within this centre of perception, no concept
such as right, left, front or behind exists. That is, sound does not
come to you from the right, from the left or from the air; there is
no direction from which the sound comes.
