<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
Science writer, Rita Carter, states in her book, Mapping the Mind,<br />
that "there's no need for eyes to see" and describes at length an experiment<br />
carried out by scientists. In the experiment, blind patients<br />
were fitted with a device that transformed video pictures into vibrating<br />
pulses. A camera mounted next to the subjects' eyes spread<br />
the pulses over their backs so they had continuous sensory input<br />
from the visual world. The patients started to behave as if they could<br />
really see, after a while. For example, there was a zoom lens in one<br />
of the devices so as to move closer the image. When the zoom is operated<br />
without informing the patient beforehand, the patient had an<br />
urge to protect himself with two arms because the image on the subject's<br />
back expanded suddenly as though the world was looming in. 4<br />
As it is seen from this experiment, we can form sensations even<br />
when they are not caused by material equivalents in the outside<br />
world. All stimuli can be created artificially.<br />
"The world of senses" that we experience in dreams<br />
A person can experience all senses vividly without the presence<br />
of the outside world. The most obvious example of this is dreams. A<br />
person lies on his bed with closed eyes while dreaming. However,<br />
in spite of this, that person senses many things which he or she experiences<br />
in real life, and experiences them so realistically that the<br />
dreams are indistinguishable from the real life experience. Everyone<br />
who reads this book will often bear witness to this truth in their own<br />
dreams. For example, a person lying down alone on a bed in a calm<br />
and quiet atmosphere at night might, in his dream, see himself in<br />
danger in a very crowded place. He could experience the event as if<br />
it were real, fleeing from danger in desperation and hiding behind a<br />
wall. Moreover, the images in his dreams are so realistic that he feels<br />
fear and panic as if he really was in danger. He has his heart in his<br />
mouth with every noise, is shaken with fear, his heart beats fast, he
