Everything exists within our minds and nowhere else...
Every mountain,every tree and every cloud,every insect,every animal and every person,every planet, every star and the entire universe,are all parts of this magnificent illusion...
Inflowing signals of light are received by our eyes,sending those photon impulses through our optic nerves and inside our brains...
Continuously arranging and constructing those electrical waves into comfortable and compatible images, fabricating this earth and forming this life we think and want to believe is our true reality,which doesnt even really exist...edit on 4-6-2012 by blocula because: (no reason given)

In philosophy, the brain in a vat is an element used in a variety of thought experiments intended to draw out certain features of our ideas of knowledge, reality, truth, mind, and meaning. It is drawn from the idea, common to many science fiction stories, that a mad scientist, machine or other entity might remove a person's brain from the body, suspend it in a vat of life-sustaining liquid, and connect its neurons by wires to a supercomputer which would provide it with electrical impulses identical to those the brain normally receives. According to such stories, the computer would then be simulating reality (including appropriate responses to the brain's own output) and the person with the "disembodied" brain would continue to have perfectly normal conscious experiences without these being related to objects or events in the real world.
The repelling effects of electron resistance is the major reason why we cant walk through a wall,well actually,we could,but very painfully...

Again bloc, what is there to stop you from walking through a solid wall?

Our skin isnt feeling anything,its just a receptor,just like our eyes are light receptors.Sensations of touch and sight are taking place within our brains,as well as our senses of hearing,tasting and smelling,which are also formulated and happening within our brains and nowhere else...

Amazingly,our skin isnt feeling anything,its just a receptor

interpret reality by fabricating comfortable images that are compatible with itself
