A Call for Unity

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 hear-
ing 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
nose travel to the brain as electro-chemical nerve impulses. In
biology, physiology, 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, odors, and sensory events in the brain?
There is a consciousness in the brain that perceives all this

without feeling any need for an eye, an ear, and a nose. To
whom does this consciousness belong? Of course it does not
belong to the nerves, the fat layer, and neurons comprising
the brain. This is why Darwinist-materialists, who believe
that everything is comprised of matter, cannot answer these
questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah,

which needs neither the eye to watch the images nor the ear
to hear the sounds. Furthermore, it does not need the brain to
think.
