When a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? Of course, I’ve addressed this before, but it’s worth revisiting because it says something about how we exist, as well as our true purpose. A tree falling does not make a sound, but it causes vibrations in the air. A sound occurs when there is a receiver that translates the vibrations. We hear a sound because our ear-structure is affected by vibrations. Sound is a complete process; it does not occur prior to reaching our tympanum, but is the result interpreted afterward, instead. It is the same with all of our physical senses. Sight is not accomplished without eyes to interpret light reflections and refractions. The light is a vibration, and the eyes perceive the vibrations, turning them into sight. Our senses function as part of a process.
