Page 58 - Knowing The Truth

According to Ibrahim's example,
when a person looks at the moon,
the telescope or the view in front
of him, he is actually looking at
images on the same plane.
However, these images can lead a
person to believe that they are in
different spaces. If you looked at
such objects disposed in space
and scratched your lower eyelid as
Ibrahim did, you would see that the
objects do not remain fixed but
change their location.

street and the trees move in various directions. This is the movement of the
impressions in our brains. Just as a picture we are watching on television
moves when we try to adjust the antenna, so we have the same kind of
effect here. We are like a person in our brain sitting in front of a television:
whatever image is being shown, that is what we watch. Whatever we do,
eat, walk on the street, go to school, meet with friends, our whole life is as
if we were watching a video cassette. Images, sounds, smell, taste and
touch are all sensed in the brain. In other words, we experience our outside
world in our inside world. We spend our whole lives in the little house in
our brain and we watch the outside world on the television in there. We
experience all these things in a one cubic centimeter cell in our brain. We
lead our lives without ever leaving that 'cell'.
