Truths that will change your life

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)
