THE REAL WORLD
All the information that we have about the world we live in is conveyed to use by our five senses.The world we know of consist of what our eyes sees,our nose smells,our tongue tastes and our ears hears.We never think that the 'real world' can be other than what our senses present to us as we have been dependent only those senses since the day of our birth.
The starting point of this approach is the believe of a 'real world' shaped in our brain is only a respond created in our brain by electrical signals.The redness of the apple,the hardness of the wood,moreover your mother,your father and everything you own and even the lines of words in this blog are comprised only by electrical signals.
We believe in the existence of objects just because we see and touch them and they are reflected to us by our perceptions.However our perception are only in our mind.This objects we are imagine by perceptions are nothing but ideas and these ideas are essentially in nowhere but in our mind...Since all these exist only in the mind,then it means that we are tricked by deception when we imagine the universe and things to have an existence out of our mind.
Now let us consider this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable process.When we say that 'we see',we are in fact seeing the effect of the impulse reaching our eyes and induced in our brain after they are transformed into electrical signals.That is when we say that 'we see',we are actually observing the electrical signals in our brain.
All the images we view in our lives are formed in our center of vision, which makes up only a few cubic centimeters of the volume of the brain.Both the blog you are reading now and the boundless landscape you see when you gaze at the horizon fit into this tiny space.Another point that has to be kept in mind is that as we have noted before,the brain is insulated from light:its inside is absolutely dark.The brain has no contact with light itself.
We can explain this interesting situation with an example.Let us suppose that there is a burning candle in front of us.We can sit across from this candle and watch it at a length.However during this period of time,our brain never has any direct contact with the candle's original light.Even as we see the light of the candle,the inside of our brain is solid dark.We watch a colourful a nd bright world inside our inside our dark brain.
The same situation applies to all our other senses.Sound,touch,taste and smell are all transmitted to the brain as electrical signals and are interpret in the relevant center in the brain.
At this point,we can ever be sure that what we feel when we tastes the same food or what we perceive when we hear a voice and what another person perceives when he hears the same voice are the same.on this fact,Lincoln Barnett says that no one can know that another person perceives the colour blue or hears the C note the same ways as he himself does.
It is impossible for us to reach the physical world.All object around us are a collection of perception such as seeing and touching.By processing the data in the center of vision and in other sensory organ,our brain,through out our lives,confronts not the 'original' of the matter existing outside us but rather than the copy formed inside our brain.It is at this point that we are misled by assuming that these copies are instances of real matter outside us.
However since we can never actually reach the 'real world',how can we be sure that such a world really exist?
Actually we cannot.Since each object is only a collection of perception and those perception exist only in the mind,it is more accurate to say that the only world that really exist is the world of perception.The only world we know is the world that exists in our mind:the one that is designed,recorded and made vivid there:the one,in short,that is created within our mind.This is the only world we can be sure of.
As it may be seen clearly,it is a scientific and logical fact that the 'real world' has no materialistic reality and that it is a collection of images perpetually presented to our soul by Allah.Nevertheless people usually do not include or rather do not want to include everything in the concept of the 'real world'.
If you think on this issue sincerely and boldly,you come to realize that your house,your furniture in it,your car-perhaps recently bought,your office,your jewels,your bank account,your wardrobe,your student,your colleagues,your best friend and all else that you possess are in fact included in this imaginary real world projected to you.Everything you see,hear or smell-in short-perceive with your five senses around you is a part of this 'imaginary world'.
This is the reality because the world is only a collection of images created to test man.People are tested all through their limited lives with perception bearing no reality.These perception are intentionally presented as appealing and attractive.
Lastly,you actually can explore beyond this point by using the power of your personal reflection.For this,you have to concentrate,devote your attention and consider carefully on the way you sees,hears,touches,thinks and read this blog at this moment is only a soul and watches the perception called 'matter' on a screen.The person who understand this is considered to have moved away from the domain of the material world that deceives a major part of humanity and to have entered the domain of true existence.
