The Evolution Deceit 121

measured by a precise device at that moment, complete silence would be
found to be prevailing there.
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 per-
ceived 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 sensi-
tive 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.

To Whom Does the Consciousness that Sees and

Hears within the Brain Belong?
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

Compared to sound
recording devices,
the ear is much
more complex,
much more success-
ful and possesses far
superior features to
these products of
high technology.
