NOT ONE HUMAN BEING HAS EVER SEEN THE ORIGINAL OF A ROSE, BUT HAS ONLY EVER SEEN A COPY OF IT

When we look around, we see everything in our brains. Our eyes and optical nerves, like cables conveying images to a television, transmit the signals emanating from an object to our brains. These signals, like the ones we see on a television screen, transform into colored, bright, three dimensional images. We can never see the original objects themselves. For instance, what we see is the copy image of a red rose that forms in our brains. We can never know the color of the original rose. Alternatively, we can never test whether a friend standing next to us sees the rose in the same colors, or whether what we call red is the same color he calls red. That is because in the brains of 100 people looking at the same rose in the same garden, 100 different images of roses are formed. And none of these people can see the original of the rose; they can only see the copies formed in the brain.

Despite this obvious fact, people always assume that they touch or smell the original material objects that supposedly cause their experiences. The fact that throughout their lives people assume the images they see are the originals is a miracle created by God. Having a grasp of this important fact and starting to see the miracles of God will change your outlook on life.




EVERY EVENT IN WORLD HISTORY IS HAPPENING RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT!



The moment when this picture of the Prophet Moses crossing the Red Sea was painted and the moment when that actual event was experienced are both the same in God's sight.

An example will give us a better understanding of this: Assume that you have a picture of a big city spread in front of you. Let's also imagine that there is a man trying to reach from one end to the other end of this city. From the point of view of this man, there is a certain distance to be crossed from one end of this city to another in a definite time.

Yet a person who looks at this picture from the outside can see all the details of the city in a single moment. As is the case with this example, while from our point of view we need a certain amount of time for some events to take place, for God, the Creator of time, it takes only a single moment for all events to occur.

In the sight of God, all events which have occurred on earth so far actually take place in a single moment. For instance, in God's sight the Prophet Moses is right now crossing the Red Sea, the Prophet Muhammad is right now taking refuge in the cave with his friend, the Prophet Noah is right now constructing his ark and is setting about his journey, the Prophet Abraham is right now being thrown in the fire, the Prophet Jesus is right at this moment being raised to heaven and Mary is right at this moment talking to Gabriel…

In the timelessness in God's sight, every instant exists at the same time at the very same moment, and will continue to exist for all eternity. None of the images created by God, no events or beings disappear. (This is similar to the images in a videotape cassette; they continue to exist even after we have watched them.) However, a person has no possibility of rewinding or re-watching them. Only God sees and knows these images in a single moment. Ponder the glorious mysteries and miracles in God's creation, and never avoid confronting the facts.



A PERSON WHO THINKS HE IS SAILING ON A BOAT ACTUALLY WATCHES THAT JOURNEY IN HIS BRAIN

A person who thinks that he has made an intercontinental journey and thus covered thousands of miles has actually not covered even one nautical mile. That is because while he assumed that he was sailing on a boat, he actually watched the journey taking place in his brain. The scenery he enjoyed, the coasts of the various countries, harbors, the way the boat sailed over the ocean, the dolphins and the drifting of the clouds in the sky are all images formed in his brain.

When a boat leaves the harbor, the ever-diminishing image of the harbor and its ultimate disappearance from one's sight produce the sensation that the boat is moving. Yet, at that very moment, a person is actually watching the ever-diminishing image of the harbor formed in his brain. The boat, the harbor and the sky are all images formed in the tiny visual center in the brain. The changing dimensions of the images produce an impression of distance and depth in a person's mind. Actually, there is nothing in the distance; everything remains on a single surface, on one single point.

Those who are greedily attached to the life of this world feign ignorance of this fact, and also strive to prevent others from grasping it. That is because a person who accepts that everything he sees is just a copy in his brain will no longer be able to boast about his journeys or the different countries to which he has been.

Say: "Can any of your partner-gods guide to the truth?" Say: "God guides to the truth. Who has more right to be followed-He who guides to the truth, or he who cannot guide unless he is guided? What is the matter with you? How do you reach your judgment?" (Surah Yunus, 35)



DO NOT FEIGN IGNORANCE OF A GREAT FACT!

What feels the thinness of the sheet of paper you are holding, the weight of the bag you carry or the slipperiness of soap is, in reality, not your hand at all. The impressions that come from the objects you touch with your fingertips are transmitted to the brain as electrical signals, and these signals are perceived in the brain as the sense of touch. Hence, when you shake hands with one of your friends, this sensation of shaking hands is your brain's interpretation of certain signals.

Despite knowing this fact, many people assume that they touch the original of an object. Yet, this is unlikely to happen. A person feels that he is shaking hands with a friend only in his brain. He can never touch the original hand of his friend. What he touches and feels is the copy of his friend's hand formed in his brain. Since we can never reach the original object we touch or see, how can we be sure whether or not this copy is identical to the original? We can never be sure, because throughout our lives we live in our skulls. What we see, touch, hear or taste all exist in our brain. However, as a miracle from God, these copies are so identical to their originals that the majority of people can never realize that fact. Furthermore, one has to make great efforts to convince such people that all they see are illusions and that they can never see the originals.



NO SOUND EXISTS IN THE WORLD OUTSIDE OUR BRAINS

Many people assume that sounds exist in the outer world and that we hear these sounds through our ears.

For instance, a person who turns the radio up assumes that he hears a loud sound coming from the loudspeakers.

Yet, the fact remains that no sound exists outside a person's brain. The world is utterly silent.

In the world outside our brains, there are only vibrations.

These vibrations are converted into sounds by our ears and brains. In other words, if there are no ears and brain, there can also be no sound.

Furthermore, absolute silence prevails inside our skulls. Even if we accept the existence of sounds in the outside world, these can never reach our brains.
What reaches our brain is an electrical copy of the sound.

Yet, in this deep silence, man listens to the electrical messages reaching the hearing center of his brain in the form of a loud song coming from the loudspeakers.

This being the case, who is it that listens to songs without the need for ears, ear cells or auricles, and who is it that takes pleasure from these songs?

It is a person's SOUL.

So, as long as there exists no soul listening to a song, there also exists neither radio, nor any machine that makes a lot of noise nor a bell that rings. You must think about this extraordinary miracle in God's creation.



IN THE DEEP SILENCE OF YOUR BRAIN, IT IS YOUR SOUL THAT LISTENS TO A CONFERENCE


In a big conference hall, people attentively listening to the speaker assume that they hear every sound uttered by him. In the same assured manner, the speaker expresses his opinions and assumes that the listeners hear him. Yet the facts are otherwise, and at that moment, a miracle of which no one is aware is taking place.

The speaker tells something to the audience in his brain, and in the same manner the audience listens to the speech in their brains. Dozens of people who are sure they are in that hall at that moment actually experience all this in their brains.

To have a grasp of this miracle, one needs to have accurate information about the ears, because many people think it is the ear that hears sounds. Yet, the ear only transforms the stimuli reaching it into electrical signals and then transmits them to the brain. These signals are then heard in the hearing center of the brain in the form of sounds.

Here, one point deserves special attention. What reaches the brain is not the original sounds but the electrical current that mirrors them; the brain in the skull is completely soundproof. Despite this, in the brain of every listener in the hall, there exists a being that hears the electrical currents as the speech being given.

This being experiences everything so realistically that no one can understand that the sound he hears is not the original at all. This being is the SOUL uniquely created by God. Despite the deep silence in the brain, the soul hears everything with perfect clarity.


SOMEONE DRIVING A CAR FOLLOWS THE ROAD FROM THE MONITOR IN HIS BRAIN

Someone driving a car in heavy rain sees the steering-wheel he holds, the highway he can hardly see and the windscreen-wipers that enable him to see the road all in the very same place, that is in his brain.

The stimuli coming from the rain, the asphalt highway and the windows of the car, in brief, all the objects surrounding the driver are perceived in the brain as the rain, highway and car. There is a being watching the outside world from the monitor inside the brain. That being is the soul God creates as a great miracle.

Have you ever thought how difficult it is for someone who perceives the image of rain from the monitor in his brain to drive without crashing his car? You must certainly ponder over the answer to this question.



OR DO YOU THINK THAT YOU SEE THE ORIGINAL OF MATTER?


The landscape you see when you look through your window alters throughout the year. You encounter a beautiful landscape covered with snow in winter. In springtime, you see a rainy landscape, whereas it changes into a green and sunny view in summer. Have you ever thought where you see these scenes? Has it ever occurred to you that you only watch the copies of the bright sun, white snow or rain that form in your brain?

The majority of people over the world do not realize that they see these images in a dark space in their brains, and that they will never see the originals.

Yet, this is a scientific fact accepted by the entire scientific world in the 21st century, and which even appears in biology textbooks.

Ever since the creation of the world, no one has ever opened his window and seen the original of the scenery outside. Anyone who thinks he has seen the original has, in reality, seen nothing but illusions formed in his brain, and has believed in an illusory object no-one has ever seen. That is because what people call "matter" is, in reality, nothing but the name they give to the illusion they see. The only evidence they offer when they claim that they see the originals outside, is again nothing but illusions.



THE ONLY EVIDENCE THAT THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT MATTER EXISTS EXTERNALLY CAN OFFER IS THEIR ILLUSIONS


A climber who sits on the peak of a mountain and watches the unique scenery around is often unaware that he sees this marvelous beauty inside his brain. However, this endless image actually forms in the tiny visual center of the climber's brain. What he sees, on the other hand, is nothing but his brain's interpretation of the rays reaching it from that scenery.

In other words, he actually sees a one-to-one copy of that scenery made up of electrical signals, rather than the scenery itself. Owing to this similarity, the climber thinks he is face-to-face with the original scenery outside. He believes that matter exists externally. And he is free to believe this. However, he must never forget that since time immemorial, no man has ever seen the original of matter, and that he is claiming to see something that has never been seen by anyone. The only evidence he has is the illusion formed in his brain.



DID YOU KNOW THAT THROUGHOUT YOUR LIVES YOU LEARN NEW INFORMATION BY READING THE BOOKS IN YOUR BRAIN?

Did you know that the story books, textbooks, encyclopedias, novels, in brief, all the books you have read since your childhood are, in reality, copies of books formed in your brain, and that you can never step out of your brain and read the original of a book?

The hand you place on a book, the book itself and the desk are all formed in the visual center in your brain, all in one single place. Yet, the image formed in the brain as a result of the electrical signals coming from the book are so clear and real that you cannot grasp that fact. You think that you see and that your hands hold the original book. Yet, you forget the fact that it is another being that reads, understands and learns the content of that book, which is formed in the tiny visual center in your brain.

Many people are unaware that the being that follows these lines without the need for an eye is the soul given to man by God. Those who are aware, on the other hand, try to avoid this awesome truth.

Those who ponder this established fact and the existence of soul, and thus who refuse to avoid the facts, will always benefit greatly. For those who start to have an understanding of God's might, the world will have a brand new meaning.
