Dissolving the Listener: A Hearing Experiment in Non-Dual Awareness

In this video, we continue our series of direct non-dual experiments—this time focusing on hearing. Last time we explored vision; now we turn to sound. What happens when we strip away everything we think we know about hearing? Is there truly a listener and a sound—or just sound in awareness? We’ll listen to a simple bell and gently examine our experience. Is there a perceiver behind the sound, or just the sound itself? Can you find a bell separate from the hearing? This video is not about theory or belief—it's a guided invitation to observe your own raw, unfiltered experience. Along the way, I also talk about my love of painting (and onions), the pitfalls of conceptual thinking, and the surprising similarities between art and self-inquiry. Whether you're new to non-duality or already deep in your journey, you're warmly invited to join me in this subtle yet powerful practice of looking—and listening—deeply. 🙏 Thank you for all your kind comments and support. (And yes—I do feel pain, but let's keep the flames metaphorical!)
