TO WHOM DOES THIS CONSCIOUSNESS THAT
SEES AND HEARS WITHIN THE BRAIN BELONG?

Who watches an alluring world inside 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 biochemistry books, you can find
many details about how this image forms in the brain. However,
you will never come across an answer to the most important
question: 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 be-
long to the nerves, the fat layer, or neurons comprising the
brain. This is why Darwinist-materialists, who believe that
everything is composed of matter, cannot answer this question.
For this consciousness is the spirit, the soul 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.

Signals from an object affect the brain by turning
into electrical signals. When we say we see
something, we are actually experiencing the
effect of electrical signals in our brain. The
brain is closed off to light. The interior of the
brain is pitch black, and no light can enter
where the brain is. The area known as the
visual cortex is pitch black, some-
where that light can never reach,
darker perhaps than anywhere
you have ever seen. But you
watch a brightly colored
world in that pitch dark.
