We cannot feel the cool of the sea, the warmth of the sun – we only feel the copies of them in our
brains.
In the same way, nobody has been able to taste the original of mint. The taste someone would sense

as mint is only a perception which occurs in the brain. This is because the person cannot touch the origi-
nal of the mint, see the original of the mint or smell or taste the original of the mint.
In conclusion, throughout our lives we live with copy-perceptions which are shown to us. However,
these copies are so realistic that we never realize that they are copies. For example, lift your head and
have a look around the room. You see that you are in a room full of furniture. When you touch the arms

of the armchair in which you are sitting, you feel the hardness of it as if you are really touching the orig-
inal of it. The reality of these images shown to you, and the excellent artistry in the creation of these im-
ages are sufficient to convince you and billions of other people that the images are "material". Even

though most people have read that every sensation relating to the world is formed in their brains, since
it is taught in high school biology classes, the images are so convincing that they have difficulty believing
that these images are only fantasies in their brain. The reason for
this is that each image is created very realistically and
perfected to an art.

Some people accept that images occur in the
brain, yet they claim that the originals of the
images are external. But they can never

prove this, because nobody has been able
to move out of the perceptions that
exist in the brain. Everybody lives in
the cell that is in the brain, and no
one can experience anything ex-

cept that which is shown by his
perceptions. Consequently, one
can never know what happens

outside of his perceptions. Thus
to say "there are originals out-
side" would in fact be an unjus-
tified presupposition, because
there is nothing that could be

held up as evidence.
Furthermore, even if there are
originals outside, these "origi-

nals" will again be seen in the
brain, meaning that the observer
would deal with the images
formed in his or her brain.
Consequently such claims are un-

supportable because people are un-
able to reach the "material
equivalents" which they suppose to

exist.

A person who is observing a particular view supposes
that he is watching the view before his eyes. However,
that view actually forms in the center of vision at the
back of the brain. The pertinent question is this: who is
that takes pleasure from watching this view, if it cannot
be the brain, which is made of lipid and protein?
