interpretation of the energy that reaches
               our eye leads us to perceive that the rose
               is red.
                    Color blindness is proof that colors
               are formed in our brains. A small injury in

               the retina can lead to color blindness. A
               person affected by color blindness is
               unable to differentiate between red and
               green colors. Whether an external object
               has colors or not is of no importance,
               because the reason why we see objects           In the picture shown above, the green area on
                                                               the left hand side appears to be dark while the
               colorful is not their being colorful. This
                                                               green area on the right hand side appears lighter.
               leads us to the conclusion that all of the      In fact, the tones of both greens, as shown in the
               qualities that we believe belong to the         bottom are exactly the same. The red and orange
                                                               colors next to the green bands trick us into
               object are not in the outside world, but in
                                                               thinking that the two green colors are of
               our brains. However, since we will never        different tones. This again points to the fact that
                                                               we do not see the original material world, we
               be able to go beyond our perceptions and
                                                               only see our interpretation of it in our brain.
               reach the outside world, we will never be
               able to know the originals of materials
               and colors. The famous philosopher,
               Berkeley, acknowledges this fact with the

               following words:
                    If the same things can be red and hot
                         for some and the contrary for
                              others, this means that we
                                   are under the influence
                                     of misconceptions ... 8









                                                Because of God's perfect creation, we see electrical
                                                signals as a bright world, full of color, made up of
                                                millions of shades of color, and we enjoy what we
                                                see. This is an extraordinary miracle that must be
                                                carefully considered.
