your olfactory center. You can never have direct contact with the<br />
original sight or smell of that rose that exists outside.<br />
To us, the "external world" is a collection of the electrical signals<br />
reaching our brains simultaneously. Our brains process these signals,<br />
and some people live without recognizing how mistaken they<br />
are in assuming that these are the actual, original versions of matter<br />
existing in the "external world." They are misled, because by means<br />
of our senses, we can never reach the matter itself.<br />
Again, our brain interprets and attributes meanings to the signals<br />
related to the "external world" of which people imagine they are in<br />
contact with the original that exists outside. Consider the sense of<br />
hearing, for example. In fact, our brain interprets and transforms<br />
sound waves reaching our ear into symphonies. That is to say, we<br />
know music as interpreted by our brain, not the original music that<br />
exists outside. In the same manner, when we see colors, different<br />
wavelengths of light are all that reaches our eyes, and our brain<br />
transforms these wavelengths into colors. The colors in the "external<br />
world" are unknown to us. We can never have direct experience<br />
of the true red of an apple, the true blue of the sky or the true green<br />
of trees. The external world depends entirely on the perceiver.<br />
Even the slightest defect in the eye's retina can cause color blindness.<br />
Some people perceive blue as green, others red as blue, and<br />
still others see all colors as different tones of gray. At this point, it no<br />
longer matters whether the outside object is colored or not.<br />
The World of Senses Can Occur Without Outside<br />
World's Existence<br />
One factor which reveals that everything we see and experience<br />
exists in our brain and that we can never know the original of the<br />
matter that exists outside is that we do not need an outside world<br />
for senses to occur in the brain. Many technological developments<br />
such as simulators and also dreams are the most important evidences<br />
of this truth.<br />
