Deep Listening Practice for altered states
Quantum Listening: From Practice to Theory (To Practice Practice).
Pauline Oliveros
Is sound intelligent? Does sound have consciousness?
Listen to sound disappearing. This meditation that I practice takes one to the border of reality and virtuality. When do you stop hearing the sound? When does memory begin?
What we hear depends on the angle from which our ear receives sound. How we listen depends on our consciousness. Are we creating the sound that we hear by listening or is sound creating our listening? Is it co-creation between consciousnesses? Is the sound disappearing or am I disappearing?
Human values are developed through the experience of listening. With practice humanity could be transformed to a flexible culture of listeners. .
"Listening involves a reciprocity of energy flow; exchange of energy; sympathetic vibration: tuning into the web of mutually supportive interconnected thoughts, feelings, dreams, vital forces comprising our lives; empathy; the basis for compassion and love.
Yes, Deep Listening is the foundation for a radically transformed social matrix in which compassion and love are the core motivating principles guiding creative decision making and our actions in the world.
