sensible and scientific evidence they can defend in the face of the fact that
they can never have direct experience of the original of matter. Because
throughout our whole lives we see only mental images and, because our
entire world is composed of these images, it's not possible for us to regard
anything called matter which exists in a place outside our senses as the
sole absoluteness. This is like a blind person commenting about colors;
since he has never seen colors he is unable to make any comment. A
person trying to make such a description is only assuming.

IBRAHIM: Murad, something I experienced the other day comes to
my mind. Two friends and I were in front of our summerhouse watching
the full moon with a small, fixed telescope. I said to my friend, "The moon
is a beautiful sight. It's amazing that it shines so brightly being so far
away. You can see even the craters and mountains on it even thousands
of kilometers away." While speaking, my lower eyelid began to itch.
When I started to rub it, I saw the moon moving in various directions. I
moved away from the telescope. With the other eye closed, I continued
rubbing my eyelid. The summer houses, my friends, the sea from one end
to the other and all the houses in the estate moved in various directions
as my eyelid moved. If I were really able to have direct experience of the
moon so far away, could the image of the moon I saw be moved so much
by such a simple action as rubbing an eyelid? My friends, the shore, the
houses in the estate and the sea appeared to be at various distances away.
But everything as a whole was moving as a result of the simple action of
rubbing an eye. Now I understand that I was mistaken when I thought
that I was looking at something outside myself and objects I understood
to be in the distance. In truth, the moon, other objects and even me are on
the same plane.

MURAD: Very good! Now, let's repeat once more. A person walking
on a street is, in fact, walking on a street in his brain and the cars that pass
him are in his brain. If we are walking along an empty street and, as
Ibrahim did, gently rub our lower eyelids, we will see this clearly. The
