Note: The Secret Beyond Matter Is Not Wahdatul Wujood.
There Is Matter Outside of Us, But We Cannot Reach Its Original.
SOMEONE
CROSSING THE OCEAN IN A PLANE ACTUALLY DOES SO IN HIS MIND
Everyone lives inside
his brain throughout his life, and can in no way ever step out of
it. Perceptions related to every illusion we see, every sound we
hear, every object we touch and everything we taste are the perceptions
that electrical signals form in our brain. We can never make direct
contact with the original of any illusion we see, any sound we hear
or the fruit we taste outside our brains. Throughout our lives,
we watch perceptions formed in our brains.
For instance, someone
who travels in a plane, crossing over oceans, actually travels between
images formed in his brain. The image and noise of the airport,
the announcements made to the passengers, the noise of the engines,
the sensation produced by a plane taxiing on a runaway, clouds,
the image of the city left behind, the oceans, the sense of distance,
the hardness of the seats, the texture of its fabric.... All of
these are perceived in the tiny visual center in the brain.
The sense of distance formed
in that center, which is only a few inches in size, on the other
hand, is a great miracle created by God. Within such images created
in such a small area, God also creates a sense of distance, perceived
as if one's destination were miles away. Someone looking at the
ocean from a plane window actually watches it in his brain from
the plane in his mind. The distance between the two, on the other
hand, is a perception God creates in the human being who lives within
his brain.
At this point, we encounter
another important fact: The consciousness that sees the ocean miles
below, hears the noise of the engine or feels the hardness of the
seat does not consist of the cells or nerves in the brain.
Who does perceive these sensations,
then? The answer to this question, which materialists cannot answer,
is the soul God creates. It is our soul that experiences all these
sensations.
You must also have a
better understanding of this glorious and unprecedented artistry,
this infinite wisdom in God's creation and draw the appropriate
conclusions from this miracle of creation.
Have they not reflected
within themselves? God did not create the heavens and the earth
and everything between them except with truth and for a fixed term.
Yet many people reject the meeting with their Lord. (Koran, 30:8)

THERE IS MATTER OUTSIDE OF US, BUT WE CAN NEVER REACH ITS ORIGINAL THROUGH OUR SENSES
If someone
asks you how far away the TV set is when you are watching the late-night
news, you will most probably answer, "A few feet." Yet,
that answer is far from accurate. That is because the TV set is
not "a few feet" away from you at all, but is in the sensory
center in your brain. What you see is not the television out there
but an image formed in the visual center in your brain. The signal
reaching you by means of light from the external world is transformed
into electrical signals by your cells, and these signals reaching
the brain are perceived as an image.
This
fact is a great miracle created by God. In a tiny space made up
of flesh, lipids and proteins, God creates a colorful, bright image
that gives a true sense of depth. This is an image of perfect quality
and sharpness that has no blurriness, darkness or shift. Furthermore,
in another tiny spot in that same brain, God creates high-quality,
multi-dimensional sound with no distortion that accompanies this
image perfectly and is totally synchronized with it.
It is a scientific fact
that everyone actually lives in a small room in his skull, in a
tiny part of his brain. No one, no matter how much he strives, can
ever step out of that room in his brain. He can never reach the
original of the world that occurs in his brain.
This scientific fact
is very important in the sense that it indicates the glorious and
unprecedented creation of God. From the Prophet Adam on, God has
created separate lives in the brains of all the people that have
ever appeared on Earth, showed colorful, bright images providing
a sense of distance in the brains of billions of people and caused
them to hear the loveliest songs, the roaring of a waterfall, thunder
or the buzzing of a bee. More strikingly, God created all such perceptions
with such delicate harmony and perfection that the majority of these
people never realized that they actually heard the sounds or watched
the images in their brains. They always assumed that they saw the actual things
that existed in the outside world, talked to them or touched them.
Never forget this important
truth:
We can never reach the original
object. We can only experience what we see in our brains.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
DARWINIST-MATERIALISTS CANNOT ANSWER:
Who is it that watches a bright world, hears birds singing or smells
a rose?
Stimuli
coming from the ears, eyes and nose reach the brain in the form
of electrical signals. Who is it in the brain that experiences these
electric signals as sound, smell and sensation? Inside the brain
there exists a consciousness that perceives all these without having
any need for eyes, ear or nose. To whom does this consciousness
belong? Darwinist-materialists, who believe that nothing exists
except matter, cannot answer these questions.
Never forget that it
is in your power to destroy the basic claims of Darwinist-materialist
ideology.
The 21st century will
be the century when all these facts will be grasped and accepted.

EVERYONE
LIVES HIS ENTIRE LIFE IN THE SMALL SPACE IN HIS BRAIN
There
is one fact everyone knows: The senses of sight, sound, smell and
taste are perceived in the brain. That is, we experience the outside
world inside us. We spend our entire lives in that small space in
our brains. We watch the outside world on the television in our
brain. We smell the electrical signals entering our brains from
the external world in our sensory centers. We again perceive the
electrical signals entering our brains from the external world as
hardness. The electrical signals entering our brains are transformed
into sounds in the loudspeakers in our brains.
We experience
all these sensations in that room of a few cubic inches in our brains,
and all through our lives we can never step out of it. No individual,
not someone traveling from one continent to another, nor the first
man who walked on the moon, nor a farmer who has never left his
village in his life can go anywhere outside the small room in his
brain. We see oceans, woods, the sky, the Sun, the Moon, flowers
and fruits, which do exist in the external world, in this small room in our brain. We smell them there
and hear the sounds they produce in that room, without ever making
direct contact with their originals outside … Inside the brain there
is a consciousness perceiving all these sensations. However, that
conscious certainly does not belong to the nerve cells or lipids
making up the brain. This consciousness is the soul God creates.
Every individual who
reads this obvious fact must ponder on God, the Exalted, Who places
the entire universe with all its colors in a pitch-dark space of
a few cubic inches in the brain, fear Him and take refuge in Him.

THE
TRUTH OF THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD IS THE DESTINY GOD SHOWS US IN OUR
BRAINS
The
entire life of a human being is made up of the perceptions in his
brain revealed to him through his five senses. For instance, a person
walking on the street actually walks on the street inside his brain.
His feet, the unevenness of the pavement, the sloping road, the
discomfort his shoes cause him, the height of the curbstones, the
wind and all the cars passing by are seen and sensed in the brain.
A person
who rubs his eye because of an irritating dust particle in it will
grasp this reality. When he rubs his eye, he sees the image of the
road, trees and cars moving up and down. This is similar to the
shifting of images on the television. That system also exists in
the brain. In this sense, a person is similar to someone watching
television. In the same way that he watches television programs,
he also watches what is provided for him, through his senses, in
his brain.
This being the case,
who is it that sees these images in his brain or feels the cold
wind on his face? God informs us that it is the SOUL that perceives
these sensations. What we call "our life" is actually
what our Lord shows our soul in accordance with the destiny He creates
for us.

WHO
IS IT THAT WATCHES THE IMAGE OF A HOUSE FORMED IN HIS BRAIN?
The
question that most bothers Darwinist-materialists is; "Who
is it that SEES the three dimensional, bright image that is formed
in the brain?" As we know, everything we see is an image formed
by electrical signals reaching our brains. Stimuli entering from
the eye reach the visual center in the brain, and the brain forms
a three dimensional, colorful image conveying a flawless sense of
dimension.
Books on biology, physiology
and biochemistry give a detailed account of how this image is formed
in the brain. However, you will be unable to find the most important
fact about this issue anywhere: The image is formed in the brain.
But, who is it that watches the image formed there? An image without
an audience is of no use. So, where is this audience located in
the body? No one has so far encountered a being in the brain that
watches this image.
The one who watches
the image in the brain is not a being made up of flesh and bone.
It is rather man's consciousness, that is, his soul. Because they
do not want to accept the existence of the soul, Darwinist-materialists
always avoid this question. Once the issue is raised, they strive
to silence the speaker in a panic. You can try asking a Darwinist-materialist
that question yourself!

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT?
If someone asks you how far away a friend of yours is from you as you chat to him, you will most probably answer, "A few feet." Yet, that is not an accurate answer. Your friend is not a few feet away at all; he is in the visual center in your brain. The direction from which you hear his sound and his three-dimensional image conveying a perfect sense of depth makes you think that he is a few feet away from you.
This sensation
is so strong that proving otherwise demands a lot of explanation,
as is the case right now. However, what we are discussing here is
not a philosophy or a system of thought. The fact that what we call
"the material world" is created in the sensory centers
in our brain is also verified by science today.
The TV set which you think exists
in the corner of your room, the music you hear, the roses you smell,
your friends you enjoy being with, the ice-cream that tastes so
good, in brief, everything in the outside world an image formed
in your brain.

NO LEAF FALLS WITHOUT
HIS KNOWING IT
God knows;
That you are reading these lines right
now,
What crosses your mind while you read
these lines,
What you will be doing in a moment,
Everything you will do until the end
of your life,
Everything you assume you have witnessed
alone.
In some
sections of society, we observe the prevalence of a distorted understanding
of destiny. This distorted concept of fate holds the superstitious
belief that God has determined a "destiny" for everyone,
but that these destinies can sometimes be changed by people. For
instance, if someone comes back from the brink of death people make
superstitious statements like "He cheated fate." Yet,
nobody is able to change his destiny. The reason the person who
comes back from death's door does not die is because he is destined
not to do so at that particular time. It is also the destiny of
those people who deceive themselves by saying "I cheated fate"
to say so and maintain such an erroneous mindset.
All events,
whether we witness them or not, occur under God's knowledge and
control. Destiny is the eternal knowledge of God, and for Him, Who
knows time like a single moment and Who rules all time and space,
everything is determined and done with in destiny.
The
keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but
Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without
His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and
nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book. (Koran, 6:59)
