               However, were the sound level in your brain was 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 orig-

               inal. The results of these efforts are sound recorders, high-fidelity
               systems, and systems for sensing sound. Despite all of this technol-
               ogy 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.
