Think about this:

You do not feel the glass (or a copy -- transformed in a feeling --)in your brain but at your finger tips (make the experience!), so that what arrives at the brain is the "perception" of the sensation at the finger tips (or the consciousness of that perception).
Kind regards.

    This means nobody is ever able to feel that he touches the real glass. Since
    it is not his fingers that feel the sense of touch, but merely the sense of touch
    in the brain. Should we not in this case conclude that people are never able
    to reach the reality of objects and can never touch the reality of a glass? But
    not every person knows this fact. Everyone thinks they touch and see real objects.
    Is it not strange that people are not aware of this and they never think about
    this?
