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 original. The results of these efforts are sound
recorders, high-fidelity systems, and systems for sensing
sound. Despite all of this technology and the thousands of
engineers and experts who have been working on this en-
deavor, 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 de-
vices, 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.

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
