                                                       We live our whole life in
                                                       our brains. People we see,
                                                       flowers we smell, music we
                                                       hear, fruit we taste, the
                                                       moisture we feel with our
                                                       hands-all these are impres-
                                                       sions that become "reality"
                                                       in the brain. But no
                                                       colours, voices or pictures
                                                       exist there. We live in an
                                                       environment of electrical
                                                       impulses. This is no theory,
                                                       but the scientific explana-
                                                       tion of how we perceive the
                                                       outside world.







                  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 grea-
             ter 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 tra-

             vel to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In biology, physio-
             logy, and biochemistry books, you can find many details about how
             this image forms in the brain. However, you will never come across the
             most important fact: Who perceives these electro-chemical nerve

             impulses as images, sounds, odours, and sensory events in the brain?
