THE PROFOUND DARKNESS OF THE HYPOCRITE



                    As is the case with imagery, decades of effort have been spent in trying to
                generate  and  reproduce  sound  that  is  faithful  to  the  original.  The  results  of
                these efforts are sound recorders, high-fidelity systems, and systems for sensing
                sound.  Despite  all  of  this  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 perceives a sound

                accompanied by a hissing sound or with atmospherics 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 concerned, a far greater truth lies beyond all this.

                    Who watches an alluring world in the brain, listens to symphonies 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 biochem-
                istry books, you can find many details about how this image forms in the brain.
                However, you will never come across the most important fact: Who perceives
                these electro-chemical nerve impulses as images, sounds, odors, and sensory
                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  brain.  This  is  why  Darwinist-materialists,
                who believe that everything is comprised of matter, cannot answer these ques-
                tions.
                    For this consciousness is the spirit created by God, which needs neither
                the eye to watch the images nor the ear to hear the sounds. Furthermore, it does
                not need the brain to think.
