say that if the nerves leading to the brain were cut they would be unable to see,
or touch. They still don't understand. That failure to understand seems to me
like 'the emergence of a diagnostic metaphysical truth,' because they are unable
to grasp this concept. Yet I explained it to my nephew, a primary school
student, and he got it at once. I ask myself whether their comprehension has

been deliberately prevented. Or whether they have no personal identity. Is that
possible? The Koran speaks about people whose eyes and ears are closed. Is it
possible some people do not have any consciousness of seeing or hearing?
Could you go into these matters in the next edition of your book? Thank you
in advance. E.A. Istanbul

Dear Harun Yahya, I particularly enjoy reading philosophy, and so I
read aDear Harun Yahya, I particularly enjoy reading philosophy, and so I read
about the secret behind matter with great enjoyment. That matter is an illusion
has been explained several times in the past. Yet people have probably not had
the time to consider the perceptions that convince them that they see the
original of matter, or else they would have grasped this evident truth.

However, they have much greater opportunities to see truth of it these days.
The studies into and descriptions of the structure of the eye, the nerves that
carry the image to the eye, the visual center in the brain and similar matters
have made it a great deal easier to understand this truth. Furthermore, the
development of specific physics, three-dimensional films, television, video and
the like have all made it easier to provide vivid examples. In my view, this
subject will come to predominate in the world in this century. As you also

know, quantum physics is already shouting the truth out loud. I expect it will
be even easier if some people do not retreat into a childish fear of the truth, and
if the pain of the shattering of the love of the world can be overcome. I do not
think that running away from the truth, hiding one's head in the sand and
ignoring the facts are not an attitude compatible with human honor. There are
many things I want to say, but I do not wish to take up your time. With my very
best wishes. T.E. Richmond

Why do the television, radio and newspapers not tell people that we
confront a version of matter in our brains, in other words its copy formed by
the interpretation of electrical signals? This certain truth should be evaluated

by prominent scientists on panel shows or television debates. I wonder
