Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)<br />

images formed in their mind, and that they have no connection with<br />

the original of matter, they have no desire at all to understand. This<br />

is an "exaggerated" case of an inability to understand, because what<br />

is discussed here is no more difficult than the answer to the questions,<br />

"What is two times two?" or "How old are you?". If you ask<br />

any scientist or professor of neurology where they see the world,<br />

they will answer you that they see it in their brains. You will find<br />

this fact even in high school biology text books. But despite the fact<br />

that it is clearly evident, information pertaining to the fact that we<br />

perceive the material world in our brains and the results that this information<br />

entails for human beings can be overlooked. It is of major<br />

significance that one of the most important scientifically proven<br />

facts is so carefully hidden from people's eyes.<br />

The fundamental reason why people easily accept all scientific<br />

facts, yet are so afraid to accept this one, is that learning the truth<br />

about matter will basically change the way everyone looks at life.<br />

Those who believe that matter and the self are absolute beings will<br />

discover one day that they have merely dealt with the reflection in<br />

their minds of everything they have worked for and protected based<br />

on this idea—their spouses, their children, their wealth, even their<br />

own personalities. People are very afraid of this reality and pretend<br />

not to understand it even if they do. They try with determination to<br />

disprove the facts, which are simple enough for even a primary<br />

school child to understand. The reason behind this opposition is that<br />

they are afraid to lose what this world offers.<br />

For someone who is attached to his possessions, his children, or<br />

the transient offerings of this world, the illusory nature of matter is<br />

cause for great fear. At the moment such a person understands this,<br />

he will have died before his natural death, and he will have surrendered<br />

his possessions and his soul. In the verse, "If He did ask you<br />

for it (all your wealth) and put you under pressure, you would be<br />

tight-fisted and it would bring out your malevolence." (Surah<br />
