you can experience the same things in dreams, with no correspon-
ding physical counterparts. Furthermore, the violence of a sensation
does not alter the fact that the sensation in question occurs in the
brain. This is a clearly proven scientific fact.
The reason why some people think that a fast-moving bus on
the motorway or an accident caused by that bus are striking proofs
of their dealing with the physical existence of matter is that the
image concerned is seen and felt as so real that it deceives one. The
images around them, for instance the perfect perspective and depth
of the motorway, the perfection of the colors, shapes and shadows
they contain, the vividness of sound, smell and hardness, and the
completeness of the logic within that image can deceive some peo-
ple. On account of this vividness, some people forget that these are
actually perceptions. Yet no matter how complete and flawless the
perceptions in the mind may be, that does not alter the fact that they
are still perceptions. If someone is hit by a car while walking along
the road, or is trapped under a house that collapses during an earth-
quake, or is surrounded by flames during a fire, or trips up and falls
down the stairs, he still experiences all these things in his mind, and
is not actually confronting the reality of what happens.
When someone falls under a bus, the bus in his mind hits the
body in his mind. The fact that he dies as a result, or that his body is
completely shattered, does not alter this reality. If something a per-
son experiences in his mind ends in death, Allah replaces the images
He shows that person with images belonging to the hereafter. Those
who are unable to understand the truth of this now on honest reflec-
tion will certainly do so when they die.
