of perceptions formed in our brains. The English physicist John Gribbin states that our sens-
es are an interpretation of stimulations coming from the external world-as if there were a
tree in the garden. He goes on to say that our brain perceives the stimulations that are
filtered through our senses, and that the tree is only a stimulation. So, he then asks,
which tree is real? The one formed by our senses, or the tree in the garden? 22
No doubt, this reality requires profound reflection. As a result of

these physical facts, we come to the following indisputable conclu-
sion: Everything we see, touch, hear, and call "matter," "the world"
or "the universe" is nothing more than electrical signals interpret-
ed in our brain. We can never reach the original of the matter out-
side our brain. We merely taste, hear and see an image of the ex-
ternal world formed in our brain.
In fact, someone eating an apple confronts not the actual fruit,
but its perceptions in the brain. What that person considers to be an ap-
ple actually consists of his brain's perception of the electrical information concerning the
fruit's shape, taste, smell, and texture. If the optic nerve to the brain were suddenly severed, the
image of the fruit would instantly disappear. Any disconnection in the olfactory nerve traveling from
receptors in the nose to the brain would interrupt the sense of smell completely. Simply put, that ap-
ple is nothing but the interpretation of electrical signals by the brain.
Also consider the sense of distance. The empty space between you and this page is only a sense
of emptiness formed in your brain. Objects that appear distant in your view also exist in the brain.
For instance, someone watching the stars at night assumes that they are millions of light-years away,
yet the stars are within himself, in his vision center. While you read these lines, actually you are not
inside the room you assume you're in; on the contrary, the room is inside you. Perceiving your body

makes you think that you're inside it. However, your body, too, is a set of images formed inside your
brain.

Considering this subject in greater detail reveals some even more extraordinary truths. Our sense
centers are located in the brain, a three-pound piece of tissue. And this organ is protected inside an
array of bones called the skull, which neither light, nor sound, nor odors can penetrate. The inside of
the skull is a dark, silent place where all smells are absent.
But in this place of complete darkness occur millions of color shades and sound tones, as well
countless different tastes and smells.
So how does this happen?
What makes you perceive light in a location without light, odors in a place without smell, sounds
in total silence and the objects of all other senses? Who created all of this for you?
In every moment of your life, a variety of miracles take place. As mentioned earlier, anything
your senses can detect in this room you're in, are sent as electrical signals to your brain, where they
then combine. Your brain interprets them as a view of a room. Put another way, while you assume
