<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />

idence that you are dealing with the matter itself. As we have seen,<br />

you can experience the same things in dreams, with no corresponding<br />

physical counterparts. Furthermore, the violence of a sensation<br />

does not alter the fact that the sensation in question occurs in the<br />

brain. This is a clearly proven scientific fact.<br />

The reason why some people think that a fast-moving bus on the<br />

motorway or an accident caused by that bus are striking proofs of<br />

their dealing with the physical existence of matter is that the image<br />

concerned is seen and felt as so real that it deceives one. The images<br />

around them, for instance the perfect perspective and depth of the<br />

motorway, the perfection of the colors, shapes and shadows they<br />

contain, the vividness of sound, smell and hardness, and the completeness<br />

of the logic within that image can deceive some people.<br />

On account of this vividness, some people forget that these are actually<br />

perceptions. Yet no matter how complete and flawless the<br />

perceptions in the mind may be, that does not alter the fact that they<br />

are still perceptions. If someone is hit by a car while walking along<br />

the road, or is trapped under a house that collapses during an earthquake,<br />

or is surrounded by flames during a fire, or trips up and falls<br />

down the stairs, he still experiences all these things in his mind, and<br />

is not actually confronting the reality of what happens.<br />

When someone falls under a bus, the bus in his mind hits the<br />

body in his mind. The fact that he dies as a result, or that his body is<br />

completely shattered, does not alter this reality. If something a person<br />

experiences in his mind ends in death, Allah replaces the images<br />

He shows that person with images belonging to the Hereafter.<br />

Those who are unable to understand the truth of this now on honest<br />

reflection will certainly do so when they die.<br />

The Example of a Shared Nervous System<br />

Let us consider Politzer's car crash example: If the injured person's<br />

nerves traveling from his five senses to his brain, were connected<br />

in parallel to another person's—Politzer's, for instance—then
