chestra, and hear all the noises in a crowded place. However, if
the sound level in your brain was measured by a precise device
at that moment, it would be seen that a complete silence is pre-
vailing 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-fi-
delity systems, and systems for sensing sound. Despite all this
technology and the thousands of engineers and experts who
have been working on this endeavour, 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 biggest company in the music industry. Even
in these devices, when sound is recorded some of it is lost; or
when you turn on a HI-FI you always hear a hissing sound be-
fore the music starts. However, the sounds that are the products
of the technology of the human body are extremely sharp and
clear. A human ear never perceives a sound accompanied by a
hissing sound or with atmospherics as does HI-FI; 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 visual or recording apparatus produced by man 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 fact lies beyond all this.

To Whom Does the Consciousness
that Sees and Hears Within the Brain Belong?
Who is it that watches an alluring world in its brain, listens to
symphonies and the twittering of birds, and smells the rose?
The stimulations coming from the eyes, ears, and nose of a
human being travel to the brain as electro-chemical nervous im-
