technology and the thousands of engineers and experts who have
been working on this endeavor, no sound has yet been obtained
that has the same sharpness and clarity as the sound perceived by
the ear. Think of the highest-quality hi-fi systems produced by the
largest company in the music industry. Even in these devices,
when sound is recorded some of it is lost; or when you turn on a
hi-fi you always hear a hissing sound before the music starts.
However, the sounds that are the products of the human body's
technology are extremely sharp and clear. A human ear never per-
ceives a sound accompanied by a hissing sound or with atmos-
pherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it perceives sound exactly as it is,
sharp and clear. This is the way it has been since the creation of man.
So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has been
as sensitive and successful in perceiving sensory data as are the

eye and the ear. However, as far as seeing and hearing are con-
cerned, a far greater truth lies beyond all this.

To Whom Does the Consciousness that Sees and
Hears within the Brain Belong?
Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to sym-
phonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose
travel to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology,
physiology, and biochemistry books, you can find many details
about how this image forms in the brain. However, you will nev-

er come across the most important fact: Who perceives these elec-
tro-chemical nerve impulses as images, sounds, odors, and senso-
ry events in the brain? There is a consciousness in the brain that
perceives all this without feeling any need for an eye, an ear, and
a nose. To whom does this consciousness belong? Of course it does
not belong to the nerves, the fat layer, and neurons comprising the
