Figure 12: The brain receives information from the five senses and constructs from that our

perceived reality.

[Without the brain] the world is devoid of light, heat, weight, solidity, motion, space, time or

any other imaginable feature. All these phenomena are interactions, or transactions, of

vibrations with a certain arrangement of neurons.

That’s exactly what they are and scientist Robert Lanza describes in

his book, Biocentrism, how we decode electromagnetic waves and

energy into visual and ‘physical’ experience. He uses the example of

a flame emi ing photons, electromagnetic energy, each pulsing

electrically and magnetically:

… these … invisible electromagnetic waves strike a human retina, and if (and only if) the

waves happen to measure between 400 and 700 nano meters in length from crest to crest,

then their energy is just right to deliver a stimulus to the 8 million cone-shaped cells in the

retina.

Each in turn send an electrical pulse to a neighbour neuron, and on up the line this goes, at

250 mph, until it reaches the … occipital lobe of the brain, in the back of the head. There, a

cascading complex of neurons fire from the incoming stimuli, and we subjectively perceive

this experience as a yellow brightness occurring in a place we have been conditioned to call

the ‘external world’.
