Secret Beyond Matter

Secret Beyond MatterAll events and objects that we encounter in real life-buildings, people, cities, cars, places-in fact, everything we see, hold, touch, smell, taste and hear-come into existence as visions and feelings in our brains. We are taught to think that these images and feelings are caused by a solid world outside of our brains, where material things exist. However, in reality we never see real existing materials and we never touch real materials. In other words, every material entity which we believe exists in our lives, is, in fact, only a vision which is created in our brains. This is not a philosophical speculation. It is an empirical fact that has been proven by modern science. Today, any scientist who is a specialist in medicine, biology, neurology or any other field related to brain research would say, when asked how and where we see the world, that we see the whole world in the vision center located in our brains. This fact has been scientifically proven in the twentieth century, and although it may seem surprising, it necessarily implies answers to two questions; "If our lives are visions created in our brains, then who is it that creates these visions? And who is it that sees these visions in our brains without having eyes and enjoys them, gets excited and happy?"

I remember my professor talking about a professor he had who was a claimed skeptic. And he claimed that everything was an illusion because it only existed within our minds. Well my professor invited him to punch the wall. Of course his professor didn't and tried to argue that the pain he would feel was still an illusion. Well, my professor was kicked out of the class because "he didn't belong there." I believe yes, everything outside of us is interpreted by our minds and our sensory functions. But that doesn't mean an outside world doesn't exist. For what we are indeed perceiving is an outside world. I always ask skeptics how they get out of bed everyday. I mean, how do they know the floor is going to be there? They may just fall forever and ever. But of course they know the floor is there, why? Because it exists.

While physical objects may exist outside of the mind, the perception of those objects occurs in the minds of individuals, and those perceptions may vary greatly from individual to individual.

I like your repli M.V; Rich you have a point which I have often thought about. I have learned that the sea is blue/green, because I have been told that the colour of the sea is blue/green. Bit when I see blue/green, am I seeing the same colour as you, or are you calling another colour blue/green. Same goes with anything.
Reminds me of one of my more 'obtuse moments' when I wrote this to my son:-

If I am Me and You are you,
But to you I am you and you are me,
Them me should call me 'me' ,
and me should call me 'me'.:bonk:
