                   We may consider our dreams in order to arrive at a better un-
               derstanding of this. Someone who dreams of attending a lecture in
               a packed hall is actually lying in bed alone. The image of the lecture
               forms within his brain. It is impossible for that person to realize he
               is dreaming until he wakes up, and he remains convinced that he is
               attending a real lecture.
                   The German psychiatry professor Hoimar von Ditfurth explains
               how we can never see the outside world:
                   No matter how we put the argument, the result doesn't change.
                   What stands before us in full shape and what our eyes view is not
                   the "world." It is only its image, a resemblance, a projection whose
                   association with the original is open to discussion. 6
                   Someone who exercises his mind a little will grasp this concept,
               which reveals the true nature of the life of this world and helps one
               realize just how hollow and meaningless the passions and desires
               aimed at this world truly are. The money in someone's wallet, the
               yacht he buys for millions of dollars, his holding company, and his
               new model car are all images which form within his brain. That in-
               dividual can never touch or see the originals of these. All he per-
               ceives is images forming at the back of his brain. This is a scientific
               fact. The responsibility of all people of reason and good conscience




                                                         A person can easily see
                                                         how meaningless all his de-
                                                         sires regarding this world
                                                         are when he stops to think
                                                         a little. Nobody can ever ac-
                                                         tually really possess the
                                                         car or house or position he
                                                         thus desires. These are
                                                         nothing but images in our
                                                         brains. That being the case,
                                                         someone who is aware of
                                                         this must immediately turn
                                                         to Our Lord, Who created
                                                         him, and not be swept away
                                                         by worldly desires.
