Page 81 - The Evil Called Mockery

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 79

Philosophers since the Greeks have speculated about the "ghost" in the
machine, the "little man inside the little man" and so on. Where is the
I—the entity that uses the brain? Who does the actual knowing? Or,
as Saint Francis of Assisi once put it, "What we are looking for is what
is looking." 7
This book in your hand, the room you are in—in brief, all the
images before you—are perceived inside your brain. Is it the blind,
deaf, unconscious component atoms that view these images? Why
did some atoms acquire this quality, whereas most did not? Do our
acts of thinking, comprehending, remembering, being delighted,
and everything else consist of chemical reactions among these
atoms' molecules?
There is no sense in looking for will in atoms. Clearly, the being
who sees, hears, and feels is a supra-material being, "alive," who is
neither matter nor an image. This being interacts with the percep-
tions before it by using the image of our body.
This being is the soul.
It is the soul that sees, hears, feels, perceives and interprets the
copies in the brain of the matter existing on the outside.
The intelligent being reading these lines is not an assortment of
atoms and molecules and the chemical reactions between them, but
a soul.

The Real Absolute Being
We are brought face to face with a very significant question:
Since we know nothing about the original of the material world and
we only deal with the copy images in our brain, then what is the
source of these images?
Who continuously makes our soul watch the stars, the Earth,
the plants, the people, our body and everything else that we see?
