Truly listening
In the depths of consciousness, there is a subtle layer of reflection where perception and awareness intertwine. This can be compared to hearing a beeping tone, initially thought to be coming from one direction but actually bouncing off a wall behind you. When you fully experience this layer of consciousness, the whole environment becomes a symphony of sound, erasing the concept of a separate perceiver. It is through direct experience that you truly understand the unity of all things. This is beautifully illustrated by the Zen koan, 'What is the sound of one hand?' When you hear a sound for the first time, you realize that there is no distance or separation in the world. Everything is interconnected and indivisible.
