Warning

3
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:52,800
The subject of this film you are about to watch reveals a crucial secret of your life.

4
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:59,700
You should watch it very attentively, for it concerns a subject that is liable to make fundamental changes in your outlook

5
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:01,020
on the material world.

6
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:06,660
The content of this film is not just a different approach or a philosophical thought.

7
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,940
It is a fact which is also proven by science today.

8
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:40,920
The subject of this film is not just a subject of the film.

9
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,320
It is a fact that the world he lives in has an absolute material reality.

10
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,160
So he grows up under the effect of this conditioning and builds his entire life on this viewpoint.

11
00:01:53,380 --> 00:02:01,100
The findings of modern science, however, have revealed a completely different and significant reality than what is presumed.

12
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:22,540
All the information that we have about the external world is conveyed to us by our five senses.

13
00:02:22,540 --> 00:02:33,880
The world we know of consists of what our eyes see, our ears hear, our noses smell, our tongues taste, and our hands feel.

14
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:40,540
Man is dependent on only those five senses since birth.

15
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,200
That is why he knows the external world only the way it is presented by these senses.

16
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:57,820
Yet, scientific research carried out on our senses has revealed very different facts about what we call external world.

17
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,800
And these facts have brought to light a very important secret about matter which makes up the external world.

18
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:17,040
Contemporary thinker Frederick Vester explains the point that science has reached on this subject.

19
00:03:19,540 --> 00:03:25,820
Statements of some scientists posing that man is an image, everything experienced is temporary and deceptive,

20
00:03:26,260 --> 00:03:30,660
and this universe is a shadow, seems to be proven by science in our day.

21
00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:39,700
In order to better grasp this secret behind matter, let us be reminded of our information about our sense of sight,

22
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:44,380
which provides us with the most extensive information about the external world.

23
00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:06,460
The act of seeing is realized progressively.

24
00:04:06,820 --> 00:04:13,980
At the instance of seeing, light clusters called photons travel from the object to the eye

25
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:20,980
and pass through the eye lens where they are refracted and focus on the retina at the back of the eye.

26
00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:32,520
Here, rays are turned into electrical signals and then transmitted by neurons to the center of vision at the back of the brain.

27
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,640
The act of seeing actually takes place in this center in the brain.

28
00:04:47,640 --> 00:05:02,940
All the images we view in our lives and all the events we experience are actually experienced in this tiny and dark place.

29
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,400
Both the film you are now watching and the boundless landscape you see when you gaze at the horizon

30
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,640
actually fit into this place of a few cubic centimeters.

31
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:29,380
Now, let us reconsider this information more carefully.

32
00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:37,760
When we say we see, we actually see the effect the rays reaching our eyes form in our brain

33
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,340
by being converted into electric signals.

34
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:46,680
When we say we see, we actually observe the electrical signals in our brain.

35
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,860
By the way, there is another point that has to be kept in mind.

36
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,120
The brain is sealed to light and its interior is absolutely dark.

37
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,880
Therefore, it is never possible for the brain to contact with light itself.

38
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,560
We can explain this interesting situation with an example.

39
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,540
Let us suppose that in front of us there is a burning candle and we view its light.

40
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,300
During this period, when we view the candle's light,

41
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,820
the inside of our skull and our brain are in absolute darkness.

42
00:06:25,820 --> 00:06:30,120
The light of the candle never illuminates our brain and our center of vision.

43
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:35,900
However, we watch a colorful and bright world inside our dark brain.

44
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:48,280
The same situation applies to all our other senses.

45
00:06:48,820 --> 00:06:55,100
Sound, touch, taste, and smell are all perceived in the brain as electrical signals.

46
00:06:55,100 --> 00:07:04,280
Therefore, our brains throughout our lives do not confront the original of the matter existing outside us,

47
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:08,420
but rather an electrical copy of it formed inside our brain.

48
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:16,460
It is at this point that we are misled by assuming these copies are instances of real matter outside us.

49
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:41,020
These physical facts make us come to an indisputable conclusion.

50
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,860
Everything we see, touch, hear, and perceive is matter.

51
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,120
The world, or the universe, is only electrical signals in our brain.

52
00:07:52,120 --> 00:08:03,860
For instance, we see a bird in the external world.

53
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:10,060
In reality, this bird is not in the external world, but in our brain.

54
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,420
The light particles reflecting from the bird reach our eye,

55
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,840
and there they are converted into electrical signals.

56
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,720
These signals are transmitted by neurons to the center of vision in the brain.

57
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,000
The bird we see is, in fact, the electric signals in our brain.

58
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,320
If the sight nerves traveling to the brain were disconnected,

59
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,440
the image of the bird would suddenly disappear.

60
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,200
In the same manner, the bird sounds we hear are also in our brain.

61
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,500
If the nerve traveling from the ear to the brain was disconnected,

62
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,560
there would be no sound left.

63
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,020
Put simply, the bird, the shape of which we see,

64
00:08:56,260 --> 00:08:57,800
and the sound of which we hear,

65
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,200
is nothing but the brain's interpretation of electrical signals.

66
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:12,660
Another point to be considered here is the sense of distance.

67
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:15,760
For example, the distance between you and this screen

68
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,200
is nothing but a feeling of space formed in your brain.

69
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:23,900
Also, objects that seem to be very distant in one person's view

70
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,660
are actually images clustered at one spot in the brain.

71
00:09:35,020 --> 00:09:38,760
For instance, someone who watches the stars in the sky

72
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,860
assumes that they are millions of light years away from him.

73
00:09:43,780 --> 00:09:46,560
Yet the stars are right inside himself

74
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,240
and the center of vision of his brain.

75
00:09:49,240 --> 00:10:04,260
While you watch this film, you are, in truth,

76
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280
not inside the room you assume yourself to be in.

77
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,120
On the contrary, the room is inside you.

78
00:10:12,260 --> 00:10:15,560
Your seeing your body makes you think that you are inside of it.

79
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,880
However, you must remember that your body, too,

80
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,780
is an image formed inside your brain.

81
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:42,720
So far, we have been speaking repeatedly of an external world

82
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,400
and a world of perceptions formed in our brain,

83
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,780
the latter of which is what we see.

84
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,760
However, since we can never actually reach the external world,

85
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,120
how can we be sure that such a world really exists?

86
00:10:58,020 --> 00:10:59,280
Definitely we cannot.

87
00:11:00,380 --> 00:11:02,460
The only reality we cope with

88
00:11:02,460 --> 00:11:05,700
is the world of perceptions we live within our minds.

89
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:24,140
We believe in the existence of objects

90
00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:26,160
just because we see and touch them

91
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,980
and they are reflected to us by our perceptions.

92
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:34,000
However, our perceptions are only ideas in our mind.

93
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,140
Thus, objects we captivate by perceptions are nothing but ideas,

94
00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:43,300
and these ideas are essentially in nowhere but our mind.

95
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,160
Since all these exist only in the mind,

96
00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:50,500
then it means that we are beguiled by deceptions

97
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,300
when we imagine the universe

98
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:55,500
and things to have an existence outside the mind.

99
00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:03,460
To imagine matter to have an existence outside the mind

100
00:12:03,460 --> 00:12:04,820
is indeed a deception.

101
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:07,340
The perceptions we observe

102
00:12:07,340 --> 00:12:10,400
may well be coming from an artificial source.

103
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,840
It is possible to see this in the mind's eye by an example.

104
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:24,620
First, let us suppose that we could take our brain out of our body

105
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:26,760
and keep it alive in a glass jar.

106
00:12:27,540 --> 00:12:31,840
Let us put a computer in which all kinds of information can be recorded.

107
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,620
Finally, let us transmit the electrical signals

108
00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:37,620
of all the data related to a setting,

109
00:12:38,060 --> 00:12:41,260
such as image, sound and smell, to this computer.

110
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:46,120
Let us connect this computer to the sensory centers in our brain

111
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,180
with electrodes and send the pre-recorded data to our brain.

112
00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:53,040
As our brain perceives these signals,

113
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,580
it will see and live the setting correlated with these.

114
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,300
From this computer,

115
00:12:58,940 --> 00:13:02,940
we can send to our brain also signals pertaining to our own image.

116
00:13:02,940 --> 00:13:05,560
For instance, we can send to our brain

117
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:09,480
the electrical correlates of such senses as sight, hearing and touch

118
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,100
that we perceive while we sit at a desk.

119
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,080
In that state,

120
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:17,900
our brain would think itself as a businessman sitting in his office.

121
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,700
This imaginary world would continue as long

122
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,380
as the stimulations keep coming from the computer.

123
00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:29,660
We would never realize

124
00:13:29,660 --> 00:13:32,060
that we only consist of a brain.

125
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,660
It is indeed very easy for us

126
00:13:35,660 --> 00:13:37,700
to be deceived into believing perceptions

127
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:40,260
without any material correlates to be real.

128
00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:43,100
This is just what happens in our dreams.

129
00:13:43,100 --> 00:14:12,640
For you,

130
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,840
reality is all that can be touched with the hand

131
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,080
and seen with the eye.

132
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,640
In your dreams,

133
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:20,760
you can also touch with your hand

134
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,180
and see with your eye.

135
00:14:22,780 --> 00:14:23,660
But in reality,

136
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,700
you have neither hand nor eye,

137
00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:28,640
nor is there anything that can be touched or seen.

138
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,200
Taking what you perceive in your dream

139
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,760
to be material realities,

140
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,820
you are simply deceived.

141
00:14:36,820 --> 00:14:46,740
For example,

142
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200
a person deeply asleep in his bed

143
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,020
may see himself in an entirely different world in his dream.

144
00:14:53,020 --> 00:14:55,060
he may dream that he is a pilot

145
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:56,820
and command a giant aeroplane

146
00:14:56,820 --> 00:15:02,040
and even spend a great effort to command the plane.

147
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:04,020
In fact,

148
00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:07,940
this person has not taken even one step away from his bed.

149
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:11,520
In his dreams,

150
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,560
he may visit different settings

151
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:14,760
and meet with friends,

152
00:15:15,140 --> 00:15:16,160
have a chat with them,

153
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,900
eat and drink together.

154
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:23,240
It is only when the person awakes from his dream

155
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
that he realizes all were only perceptions.

156
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,400
If we are able to live easily

157
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,860
in an unreal world during our dreams,

158
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,200
the same thing can equally be true

159
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,580
for the world we live in.

160
00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:44,020
When we wake up from a dream,

161
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,660
there is no logical reason

162
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:46,520
for not thinking

163
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,460
that we have entered a longer dream

164
00:15:48,460 --> 00:15:50,340
that we call real life.

165
00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:53,940
The reason we consider our dream to be fancy

166
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:55,700
and the world is real

167
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:57,440
is nothing but a product

168
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,500
of our habits and prejudices.

169
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,320
This suggests

170
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,360
that we may well be awoken

171
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,560
from the life on earth

172
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,580
which we think

173
00:16:09,580 --> 00:16:10,900
we are living right now

174
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:12,680
just as we are awoken

175
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,540
from a dream.

176
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:32,140
After all these physical facts

177
00:16:32,140 --> 00:16:33,400
arises the question

178
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,700
of primary importance.

179
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:37,460
If all physical events

180
00:16:37,460 --> 00:16:38,000
that we know

181
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,020
are intrinsically perceptions,

182
00:16:39,020 --> 00:16:41,040
what about our brain?

183
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,340
Since our brain is a matter

184
00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:45,120
just like our arms, legs

185
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,160
or any other object,

186
00:16:46,580 --> 00:16:48,420
it also must be a perception

187
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:49,960
just like all other objects.

188
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:55,460
An example will illuminate the subject further.

189
00:16:57,340 --> 00:16:59,260
Let us think that we extend the nerves

190
00:16:59,260 --> 00:17:00,240
reaching our brain

191
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,980
and put it outside our head

192
00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:04,100
where we can see it with our eyes.

193
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:05,120
in this case,

194
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:05,880
in this case,

195
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,280
we would be able to see also our brain

196
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,060
and touch it with our fingers.

197
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,460
This way,

198
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,260
we can understand that our brain

199
00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:16,040
is also nothing but a perception

200
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,320
formed by the senses of vision and touch.

201
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:26,960
Then, what is the will that sees, hears, and perceives

202
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:27,980
all other senses

203
00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:29,720
if it is not the brain?

204
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,680
Who is it that sees, hears, touches, and perceives

205
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,780
the taste and smell?

206
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,780
Who is this being that thinks, reasons, has feelings,

207
00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:43,260
and moreover that says,

208
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:44,320
I am me?

209
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,860
One of the important thinkers of our age,

210
00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:49,680
Carl Prebram,

211
00:17:49,940 --> 00:17:51,700
also poses the same question.

212
00:17:55,540 --> 00:17:56,700
Since the Greeks,

213
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,700
philosophers have been thinking about

214
00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:00,060
the ghost in the machine,

215
00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:03,480
the small man within the small man, etc.

216
00:18:04,540 --> 00:18:05,740
Where is I,

217
00:18:06,260 --> 00:18:07,880
the person who uses his brain?

218
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:10,640
Who is it that realizes the act of knowing?

219
00:18:11,140 --> 00:18:13,000
As St. Francis of Assisi said,

220
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,820
what we search for is the one that sees.

221
00:18:18,820 --> 00:18:19,860
In fact,

222
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:22,840
this metaphysical being that uses the brain,

223
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:24,620
that sees and feels,

224
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,700
is the soul.

225
00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:28,540
What we call the material world

226
00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:30,540
is the aggregate of perceptions

227
00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:32,540
viewed and felt by this soul.

228
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,140
Just as the bodies we possess

229
00:18:35,140 --> 00:18:37,760
and the material world we see in our dreams

230
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,180
have no physical reality,

231
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,120
the universe we occupy

232
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,900
and the bodies we possess

233
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:45,560
now also have no physical reality.

234
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,420
The real absolute being

235
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:50,400
is the soul.

236
00:18:51,460 --> 00:18:53,320
Matter consists merely of perceptions

237
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,660
viewed by the soul.

238
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Yes,

239
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,820
even if we start with the presupposition

240
00:18:58,820 --> 00:19:00,000
that matter is real,

241
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,560
the laws of physics,

242
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,140
chemistry,

243
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:02,840
and biology

244
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,540
all lead us to the fact

245
00:19:04,540 --> 00:19:06,580
that matter consists of an illusion

246
00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:09,240
and to the inevitable actuality

247
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,960
of a metaphysical matter.

248
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,800
This is the secret beyond matter.

249
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,540
This fact is so definite

250
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:22,900
that it alarms some materialist scientists

251
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:25,620
who think matter to be the absolute being.

252
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:32,420
science writer Lincoln Barnett says in his book

253
00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:33,900
The Universe and Einstein,

254
00:19:35,420 --> 00:19:37,200
along with philosophers' reduction

255
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,780
of all objective reality

256
00:19:38,780 --> 00:19:40,840
to a shadow world of perceptions,

257
00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:43,040
scientists have become aware

258
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,380
of the alarming limitations

259
00:19:44,380 --> 00:19:45,640
of man's senses.

260
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,760
All these facts bring us face to face

261
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,760
with a very significant question.

262
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,080
If the thing we acknowledge

263
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,360
to be the material world

264
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,040
is merely comprised of perceptions

265
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,340
given to our soul,

266
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,880
then what is the source

267
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,880
of these perceptions?

268
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,800
In answering this question,

269
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,660
we must consider the fact

270
00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:14,220
that matter does not have

271
00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:16,560
a self-governing existence by itself,

272
00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:18,260
but is a perception.

273
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:19,820
Therefore,

274
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:20,960
this perception

275
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,560
must have been caused

276
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,760
by another power,

277
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:24,700
which means

278
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:26,660
that it must have been created.

279
00:20:27,540 --> 00:20:27,980
Moreover,

280
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,220
this creation

281
00:20:29,220 --> 00:20:30,520
must be continuous.

282
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,060
If there were not

283
00:20:32,060 --> 00:20:34,160
a continuous and consistent creation,

284
00:20:34,580 --> 00:20:35,740
then what we call matter

285
00:20:35,740 --> 00:20:36,920
would disappear

286
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,140
and be lost.

287
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,260
This may be likened

288
00:20:44,260 --> 00:20:45,000
to a television

289
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,180
on which a picture

290
00:20:46,180 --> 00:20:46,940
is displayed

291
00:20:46,940 --> 00:20:48,580
as long as the signal

292
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:49,860
continues to be broadcast.

293
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,360
If the broadcast stops,

294
00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:53,800
the image on the screen

295
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,060
will also disappear.

296
00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:07,060
and the image on the screen

297
00:21:07,060 --> 00:21:08,060
will appear

298
00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:09,060
as long as the image on the screen.

299
00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:10,060
So,

300
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,680
who makes our soul

301
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,420
see the earth,

302
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,140
people,

303
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:15,700
plants,

304
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,520
our bodies,

305
00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:17,800
and all else

306
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,460
that we see?

307
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:20,400
It is very evident

308
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,540
that there is

309
00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:22,820
a superior creator

310
00:21:22,820 --> 00:21:24,000
who has created

311
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
the entire material universe.

312
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,060
That is,

313
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,060
the sum of all perceptions

314
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:31,440
and continues

315
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,420
his creation

316
00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:33,600
ceaselessly.

317
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,700
Since this creator

318
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:37,920
displays such a magnificent creation,

319
00:21:38,580 --> 00:21:39,720
he surely has

320
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,680
eternal power

321
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,320
and might.

322
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,120
All the perceptions

323
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:44,040
he creates

324
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:44,580
are dependent

325
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:45,560
on his will

326
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,960
and he dominates

327
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,420
everything

328
00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:48,500
he has created

329
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:49,620
at any moment.

330
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:51,620
This creator

331
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:52,800
is Allah,

332
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,500
the Lord

333
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:55,220
of the heavens

334
00:21:55,220 --> 00:21:56,360
and the earth.

335
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,260
The only real

336
00:21:58,260 --> 00:21:59,260
absolute being

337
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:00,340
is Allah.

338
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,540
All things

339
00:22:03,540 --> 00:22:04,400
except him

340
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,720
are shadow beings

341
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,700
he created.

342
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,460
This reality

343
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:09,280
is explained

344
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:09,960
by the great

345
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,980
Islamic scholar

346
00:22:10,980 --> 00:22:12,340
Iman Rabbani

347
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:13,360
as follows.

348
00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:21,660
Allah,

349
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:23,420
the substance

350
00:22:23,420 --> 00:22:24,560
of these beings

351
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,560
which he created

352
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,000
is but nothingness.

353
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,800
He created all

354
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,600
in the sphere

355
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,460
of senses

356
00:22:30,460 --> 00:22:31,360
and illusions.

357
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,880
The existence

358
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,640
of the universe

359
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,040
is in the sphere

360
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:36,760
of senses

361
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,500
and illusions

362
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:39,780
and it is not material.

363
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:41,500
In reality,

364
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:42,900
there is nothing

365
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:43,720
in the outside

366
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,500
except the glorious being

367
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:47,260
who is Allah.

368
00:22:49,620 --> 00:23:00,460
in all the four corners

369
00:23:00,460 --> 00:23:01,460
of this universe

370
00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:02,580
that is made up

371
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:03,180
of perceptions

372
00:23:03,180 --> 00:23:04,940
is Allah's being

373
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:06,680
as the only real being.

374
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:07,760
Therefore,

375
00:23:07,940 --> 00:23:08,760
the closest being

376
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:09,320
to man

377
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,340
is Allah.

378
00:23:11,420 --> 00:23:12,240
This fact

379
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:12,860
is explained

380
00:23:12,860 --> 00:23:13,420
in the Quran

381
00:23:13,420 --> 00:23:14,800
with the verse

382
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,900
We created man

383
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:18,500
and we are nearer

384
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:18,940
to him

385
00:23:18,940 --> 00:23:20,600
than his jugular vein.

386
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:30,980
Wherever we are,

387
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,160
Allah is with us.

388
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:35,000
While you watch

389
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,600
this film,

390
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,040
the closest being

391
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,480
to you is Allah

392
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,080
who creates everything

393
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:40,760
you see

394
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,720
at any moment.

395
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,540
As long as Allah

396
00:23:44,540 --> 00:23:46,060
makes us see images

397
00:23:46,060 --> 00:23:47,720
and gives sensations

398
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,040
related to this world,

399
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,900
we continue to live

400
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:51,560
in this world.

401
00:23:52,420 --> 00:23:53,240
When he ends

402
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:53,820
the images

403
00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:55,040
and sensations

404
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,540
belonging to this world,

405
00:23:57,220 --> 00:23:57,800
shows us

406
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,040
the angels of death

407
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,540
and gives perceptions

408
00:24:00,540 --> 00:24:01,740
of a different dimension,

409
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:03,460
this means

410
00:24:03,460 --> 00:24:04,560
we have died.

411
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,840
The day of resurrection,

412
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:09,860
judgment,

413
00:24:10,620 --> 00:24:10,940
heaven,

414
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:11,800
hell

415
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,720
and all our eternal life

416
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,920
will be created

417
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,220
in the same way

418
00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:16,840
for us.

419
00:24:21,180 --> 00:24:23,220
To create all these

420
00:24:23,220 --> 00:24:24,320
is too easy

421
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:24,980
for Allah

422
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:26,640
who displays

423
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,520
the evidence

424
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,820
of his eternal power

425
00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:30,400
and infinite knowledge

426
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,020
to us

427
00:24:31,020 --> 00:24:33,260
yet in this world.

428
00:24:33,260 --> 00:24:46,840
...

429
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,420
...

430
00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:57,660
...
