A region of a few cubic centimetres in the cerebral
cortex is similar to a television screen collecting the stimuli
coming from the optic nerves. And we, or rather our minds, watch
the colours, various light combinations or the beautiful wing of
a butterfly within our pitch-dark skulls on the black cerebral cortex.
This is similar to watching something on a television screen. We
see our entire world on this screen in our brains.
Who knows what the originals of the objects
we see are like? For instance, does the original of the butterfly
we see on the screen in our brains, possess the same colours as
the reds, blues and yellows we perceive? Or are these only the colours
of the image we see in our brains? We can never know the answers
to these questions. Our soul that watches these images in the brain
can never step out of the brain and see the originals of these images.
Consequently, the soul can never know whether the things it sees
are the same as their originals.
This is such a great miracle that the majority
of people fail to grasp this fact, and those who do feign ignorance
of it. From the moment they are born, God makes people watch a screen
in their brains, makes every soul live inside a skull, a narrow,
small and compact space. However, the images God makes people perceive
are so magnificent, detailed and identical to their originals that
they do not even notice where they really are. When watching copy
images in their brains, and living within their skulls, people assume
they are sailing by boat, flying in the sky in a jet, or covering
thousands of miles. Furthermore, no matter how often they may be
told, they still cannot conceive that they are, in reality, living
in their skulls. This is one of the greatest miracles a person can
ever come across in this world. You will see that pondering deeply
over this miracle will open new horizons for you.
THE GREATEST FEAR OF THOSE WHO
ARE SWEPT AWAY BY MATERIAL GREED…
Think for a moment about those people who are
swept away by material greed: What do they value most? A fine
house, luxurious things, ostentatious jewellery, the latest model
car, big bank accounts, a yacht ... For this reason, such people
are terrified of the fact that they are observing all the things
they possess on a screen in their brains, and that they will never
actually possess the originals of these things.
However,
this is a fact confirmed by the scientific advances in the 21st
century. People live in a world of facsimiles composed in their
brains, and cannot possibly have any relationship with any external
world. Sound, light and smell cannot enter the skull; what enters
is only electrical impulses coming from these material things.
This is the situation of someone, as in
the example above, who gives money for the magnificent villa shown
in the background. While he thinks that he is buying the villa
and counting out the money, he is really buying an impression
formed in his brain, and is not giving actual money to the person
in front of him, only an image of money. The person receiving
the money is really receiving an impression. In other words, there
is a "transaction of impressions".
THE WEALTHIEST MAN IN THE WORLD
ACTUALLY POSSESSES NOT WORLDLY GOODS BUT THE IMAGES OF THESE POSSESSIONS
FORMED IN HIS BRAIN...
Have you ever thought that you can never possess
the originals of the possessions you think you own? This is a
scientific fact that appears even in biology and physiology textbooks.
Let's assume that you have a
car. You actually watch this car on a screen in your brain. When
you hold the steering-wheel or drive down the highway, you are
actually watching these actions on the screen in your brain. Light
rays from the steering-wheel, the indicators, rear-view mirror
and all the other components of the car are transformed into electrical
signals in your eye and conveyed to the visual centre of the brain
via the nerves. This way, an image of a car, identical to its
original, is formed in your brain. But you must be cautious! YOU
SEE AN IMAGE IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL, YET WHICH IS NOT THE ORIGINAL.
Even
if you wished you could never see the original of that car. That
is because, no matter what you do, the image of the car will always
form in the visual centre in your brain. No matter what you do,
you can never see even a single point outside the image that is
formed in the visual centre in your brain. For this reason, what
you possess is actually not the car itself, but a copy.
In the same manner, you can only
have copies of your clothes in your wardrobe, the house in which
you live, your furniture and all the fortune you think you own,
in your brain. Consequently, even the wealthiest man in the world
does not possess the greatest fortune in the world at all, but
copies of that fortune in his brain.
THE OWNERS OF THE FACTORIES, YACHTS AND
LANDS THAT ARE ONLY IMAGES IN THE BRAIN FEEL DISTRESSED FOR NO
REASON
The majority of people value their houses, factories, yachts,
lands, jewellery, bank accounts and antiques very much. They devote
all their lives to attaining these material goods, and work day
and night to that end. Their greatest fear is of losing these
things accumulated over the years with such difficulty. Never
pondering the real meaning of these material goods, however, they
are greatly misled.
That
is because they can never encounter the originals of these possessions
they strive to preserve with such ambition.
They
can never live in their actual houses, sail on their actual yachts
and can never wear their actual jewellery. They can only watch
the electrical signals from these objects on the screen in their
brains. What they watch are the one-to-one copies of their possessions.
This
great fact renders all those ambitions and concerns meaningless,
and humiliates those who boast about what they watch on the screen
in their brains. However, when death comes upon them it will be
too late for those who spend their lives on gaining worldly benefits
and those who yearn for the worldly life and forget the hereafter.
Our Lord informs us of this fact with the verse "If
only death had really been the end! My wealth has been of no use
to me. My power has vanished." (Qur'an, 69:27-29)
HUMANITY UNDERSTANDS THIS GREAT
FACT NOW
When
you sit by the ocean and watch the sea, the breathtaking scenery
actually forms in your brain. That is, you do not see the actual
ocean but a copy formed in your brain. The nerves, as with an
electrical cable, convey the light rays from the outside to the
visual centre in the brain. The scenery, on the other hand, forms
in this tiny centre. Yet, there exists not a single light, colour
or movement in the visual centre, because the skull is completely
insulated from light. Despite this fact, on this tiny and pitch-dark
region, we watch a highly detailed, coloured, three-dimensional
external world with a quality better than any image produced by
high-tech equipment.
The blue colour of the sea and the sky, the
white appearance of the clouds, the grey colour of the buildings
in the distance are all colours produced by the electrical signals
in your brain. You can never know the actual colours of the sky,
clouds, the sea and buildings. That is because you can never be
in touch with their real images. But the image in your brain is
so perfect that it is almost identical to the original. That is
why, from the moment you are born, you are deceived by assuming
that what you see in the external world are the real images. The
fact is, however, you are always watching the image formed in
your brain.
In that case, can you be sure that the real
colour of the sea is blue? Or, is it certain that everyone sees
the clouds as white and the sky blue, like you do? This is something
you can never know, and that you can never learn. That is because
you can never step out of the boundaries of your brain and see
the actual sky, ocean, clouds and buildings.
This is one of the most important facts in
your life, and for centuries there has been a deliberate effort
to keep that fact hidden.
The scientific developments of the 20th and
21st centuries have now made it possible
to reveal that fact. Never feign ignorance of this fact, but ponder
over it.
ARE YOU IN THE ROOM,
OR IS THE ROOM INSIDE YOU?
A person who sits in his house, watching television
or having dinner with his family, experiences a great miracle,
even though he is unaware of it. That miracle is the fact that
the image of four walls surrounding a person sitting in a room
is, in reality, within the brain of that person.
That being the case, are you in the room,
or is the room inside you?
The majority of people are unaware of
this great truth; they assume themselves to be sitting in a room,
watching television or chatting with their family. Those who grasp
this fact, on the other hand, pretend not to understand this miracle
since they fear it. Yet, this great fact about which they plead
ignorance is an undeniable, confirmed one, also revealed by science.
Stimuli reaching the eye from the four walls that make up the
room, the pictures hanging on the wall, the television, the carpet
on the floor, the coloured furniture and the light on the ceiling
are transformed into electrical currents by the eye cells. These
currents are then transmitted to the visual centre in the brain,
and the person watches the image of the house, which he thinks
he is in, in the tiny space in the rear part of his brain.
At this point, an important question
arises: What is it that sees these coloured, vivid images, without
the need for an eye, eye lens, retina and iris in the pitch-dark
skull?
It is the "soul".
The reason why a person assumes himself
to be in a room is the sharpness of the images he watches in his
brain and their identicalness to the originals. This is a miracle
by itself.
EVERY ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN A STADIUM
WATCHES A SEPARATE GAME
A person entering a stadium assumes that he
will watch the same game as thousands of other people in the stands.
Yet, this is a great delusion.
That
is because, in the brain of each person in the stadium, there
exists a separate stadium, separate players, a separate playground,
a separate crowd, in brief, a separate image. Yet, everyone assumes
that there exists a single game being played in a single stadium
and that thousands of people are watching the same game. Furthermore,
they assume that those who remain in their houses are watching
the very same game on their televisions.
Yet,
the fact is that in everyone's brain, copies that are indistinguishable
from their originals are created. The number of these copies is
equal to the number of watchers. The people in the stadium cannot
see the image in the outer world, and neither can those at home
see the real image on the television screen. That is because it
is impossible for anyone to step outside the screen in their brain
and get in touch with the original image outside. The only thing
these people can see is their brain's interpretation of the information
reaching it. It is the soul that sees. It is, on the other hand,
God, the Lord of the entire universe, Who creates both the soul
and the images with one-to-one similarity to their originals.
What is more, God creates these copies one by one for each and
every individual.
WHO IS IT THAT LISTENS TO A CONCERT
IN THE DEEP SILENCE OF THE BRAIN?
The ear captures the sounds
around us and delivers them to the middle ear. The middle ear
amplifies the sound vibrations and delivers them to the inner
ear. The inner ear transforms these sound vibrations into electric
signals, and then transmits them to the brain. The hearing process
takes place in the hearing centre of the brain.
But,
who is it that hears?
The
hearing centre is completely insulated from sound. That is, no
matter what the level of noise coming from the outside, the inside
of the brain is always silent. But, in this deep silence, we listen
to our favourite songs or the concerts of famous bands from the
giant loudspeakers placed in a stadium.
Have
you ever thought who is it that listens (without the need for
ears) to the LOUD SOUND FILLING A STADIUM?
One
does not expect consciousness, understanding and the faculty of
appreciation from unconscious flesh, bones and nerves. It is God
Who grants "the faculty of hearing and seeing" to your
soul, and Who creates you flawlessly. This is a very IMPORTANT
and GLORIOUS fact that one needs to ponder.
Furthermore,
this consciousness can never listen to the original of a concert.
It can never hear the original voice of a famous singer. What
it hears are the copies of the originals. However, this is such
a HIGH QUALITY COPY that one can never distinguish it from the
original. Throughout his life, one always thinks that one hears
the originals. These sounds that are so realistic are another
miracle of God's creation.
IN REALITY, YOU WATCH THE FIREWORKS
IN YOUR BRAIN
The majority of people watching firework shows
assume that they are watching the original of the fireworks. Yet,
the fact remains that they can never see the original fireworks;
what they see is the show they see in their skulls. That is because
lights coming into existence with the explosion of the fireworks
reach the human eye and are transformed by cells into electrical
currents. These are then transmitted to the visual centre, and
we watch the image of the fireworks somewhere in the rear part
of our brains. At this point, a few extraordinary questions come
to mind:
1-
What is it that watches in our skulls the electrical signals caused
by the firework show?
2-
Inside, the skull is pitch-dark and completely insulated. This
being the case, what is it that watches this colourful, bright
show in the pitch darkness?
It
is the soul that sees luminous, bright, clear images which possess
real depth inside the dark skull. It is the soul that takes pleasure
from these images, feels excited in the face of what it sees and
thus gives thanks to God, the Creator.
The
images a man watches in his brain are so clear and real that the
majority of people assume they are seeing the original show and
fail to notice the miracle. THIS IS A MIRACLE BY ITSELF, BECAUSE,
RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT, GOD IS CREATING BILLIONS OF IMAGES FOR BILLIONS
OF PEOPLE SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND THESE PEOPLE ARE BEING DECEIVED,
ASSUMING THAT THEY ARE SEEING THE ORIGINALS.
Pay
due attention to this miracle and ponder it deeply. This important
fact will enable you to see the miracles in God's creation.
THAT WE ARE WATCHING A COLOURED
WORLD IN OUR DARK BRAINS IS EVIDENCE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE SOUL
The way the human eye functions is incomparably more sophisticated
than a high-tech television. The latter consists of hundreds of
special components produced in modern labs equipped with special
systems. It is the cells made up of proteins and lipids, however,
that form the eye. Yet, despite everything, the image produced by
a high-tech television is totally inadequate in the face of the
image formed by the eye.
For this reason, designers and engineers have been struggling
for decades to design a television that can produce images with
the sharpness of those produced by the eye. Yet, the sharpness achieved
as a result of research conducted in giant factories and developed
labs still fails to attain the quality achieved by the eye.
For instance, the image produced by the television is two-dimensional,
and only covers certain colours. The cells making up the eye, on
the other hand, present us three-dimensional, sharp, colourful images
that are INDISTINGUISHABLE from their originals.
There is yet another issue that deserves attention, and that
is the flawless design in the eye. The duty of the eye cells is
to transform the stimuli they receive into electrical signals and
to convey them to the brain, where these electrical signals are
seen as luminous, coloured images with an impression of depth. However,
one needs to keep in mind that the inside of the skull is pitch-dark
since the brain is lightproof. In reality, no image forms inside
the brain. Everything related to the outside world consists of the electrical
stimuli reaching the pitch-dark area in our brain.
There is a consciousness that perceives the electrical stimuli
as desks, trees, the sky, houses, as living and inanimate. The consciousness
in question is the soul given to man by God.
THE EXTRAORDINARY FACT MATERIALISTS
HAVE TRIED TO HIDE HAS EMERGED IN THE 21ST CENTURY
A person entering a market to
do some shopping actually faces a great difficulty, though he
is himself unaware of it.
- That is because, in this image
that he watches on the screen in his brain, he has to manoeuvre
through the market.
- Meanwhile, while the people
he is watching on the screen in his brain are walking all around
him, and he must be careful not to hit them.
- At the same time, he must select
products, the originals of which he will never be able to encounter,
from the shelves he sees on the screen in his brain.
That is because a person watches
every detail regarding the external world only on a screen in
his brain. He can never go beyond that screen. Throughout his
life, every person only sees the copy images reaching his brain,
and can never reach the originals of them.
Have you ever thought how difficult
it is for a person to walk, run or do the shopping while he is
watching his life on a screen in his brain?
Yet, God never makes man run
up against that difficulty. Furthermore, the majority of people
do not even realise that they are watching the world on a screen
in their brains.
It may well be that you have
never thought about this miraculous situation. That is because
materialist scientists have tried to hide this fact from people.
Only in the 21st century has this miraculous fact been revealed
by science.
IT
IS NOT THE LEMON THAT IS SOUR, BUT THE COPY IN OUR BRAINS
We
experience a sour taste when we eat a lemon. However, it is not
our tongues that experience that taste, but our brains, which
perceive the stimuli reaching them as a sour taste.
However, our brain
never makes contact with the original of what we perceive. That
is because what we taste, smell or see is nothing but the electrical
signals reaching our brains. It is the copy of the lemon that
reaches our brain.
Since we can never
make contact with the original lemon, how is it possible that
we can experience that sour taste?
If the appropriate
electrical current with the correct voltage were applied to our
tongues via an electrode, we would again think that we were eating
a lemon. However, there actually exists neither lemon nor taste.
The reason why we experience that sour taste is not because we
are in direct contact with the lemon, but because of the brain's
interpretation of the electrical current reaching it.
The majority of people
believe that they see and sense the originals of matter, and live
their lives accordingly. But, they are not, in reality, in contact
with the originals of the external world. That being the case,
let's think about the following:
We say that the objects
exist in the external world, but what if they do not? If we never
have the opportunity to test and see those originals, is it not
doubtful that their originals do exist on the outside? There is
at best a fifty percent chance for both possibilities. So, how
can we be sure that the originals of those objects exist?
That is one of the
secrets of the history of humanity.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRETEND NOT
TO SEE THE COPY LIFE GOING ON IN THE BRAIN
You
first see the round shape of a peach and then notice its bright
colour. Then, you sense its hairy skin and pleasant smell and
take pleasure from it. When you taste a slice of peach, you sense
its taste, softness and smell. However, the peach in your hand
is nothing but a copy of the original. It is impossible to see,
smell or taste the original of the peach. This is a great miracle,
of which people feign ignorance.
The
taste you experience when you eat the peach is a sensation produced
by electrical signals being carried to the brain by the taste
detectors located on the tongue. At this stage, one must never
forget that the tongue is not the real detector. You think that
you experience the taste coming from the original of the peach
in your mouth. But, that is a deception. All the information about
the taste and appearance of the peach is formed in the relevant
centre in the brain. It is not the taste or smell of the peach
but information made up of electrical signals that is conveyed
to the brain. In the brain, there exists no tongue that can experience
the taste. It is the soul that senses the taste of the fruit without
needing the tongue and its detectors.
All
the perceptions experienced by the soul are so perfect that they
cannot be distinguished from their originals. That is why people
fail to notice this fact at all.
It
is also a separate miracle that people live without giving a thought
to this obvious fact, and totally fail to grasp it.
A PERSON CAN ONLY EAT THE FOOD
IN HIS BRAIN
Someone
at a party where various kinds of food is served assumes that
he is eating the food he sees on the table. That person is, however,
mistaken. That is because he does not eat the originals of the
food but copies in his brain. It is the brain that tastes, not
the tongue or the palate. It is the brain, not the eyes, that
sees the colour of the green vegetables and red apples. It is
again the brain that smells the odour of delicious food, and not
the nose… Everything takes place in one's skull, in that small
space. It is impossible for that person to sit at a real table,
touch real food, smell real fruit and eat real food. He is only
in touch with the copies of the real thing.
The
main reason why that person is mistaken is that the table in the
outside world and the copy of the table formed in his brain are
identical. That is why he cannot distinguish the copy from the
original. He thinks he can reach the original of everything, but
can actually never step out of the boundaries of his brain.
This
is an extraordinary fact one can grasp by thinking deeply about
it. This miracle is, in reality, even available in high school
biology textbooks. Yet, people fail to grasp this fact or feign
ignorance of it because of prejudice.
