Listening as a sense and practice creates values, actualised tonal ranges in the realm of matter. While rarity tends to determine value, the listening sense has a richness to do with the way communication settles within the listener and the eventual ways in which those sounds form into the actions made with life.
Hearing becomes compromised in a damaged system. The human body is, a delightful and sometimes confounding, physiological system. Such a system can be compromised by pre-conception or mis-conception. These near misses, when examined deeply can become damn things drawing attention when there are other exquisite connections to be noticed all-around. Tunnel vision has cohort: tunnel hearing While listening to sounds through a tunnel can be reminiscent of play, tunnel hearing has to do with the refracted nature at which sounds are transmitted as measurable wavelengths and then as biological impulses in the human physiological system.
Little fun fact: the interiors of the cables connecting continents for communication actually have little refractors inside. Why fun-ni? The reality of that material is often congruous with the fractured (by time or understanding) experience of international communication. That gap can be regarded in so many ways, and as a matter of mind, up to the psyche doing the driving in the listening.
The matter of sound eventuates as a matter of mind and potentially as a matter in physical life. Potential often becomes conflated with actual. So, let’s take a breath and remember helium balloons eventually fall, so some potentials are predictable and known, and others may not happen at all. Sound heard has been prioritised as having the value, which often fails to recognise the sounds missed. How much sound is discerned affords what and how much can be done with the transmission.
The formation of clear thought has a well established responsibility of both the orator and the listener. Bad speakers are easier to spot than bad listeners because their sound gives them away. But a bad listener? Often a bad listener is considered so because they are a bad performer, or a bad order taker which is a whole other realm to deal with.
Within the subtle everyday, sometimes mundane, sometimes more important, what is heard has discongruity with what is thought to have been heard. That matter of mind, the land of pre-and-mis conception: A battle realm and not a generative one.
Clear oration often meets bad listening. Peculiarly enough bad listening often partners with blaming and we land back in the land of pre-and-mis conception. Such fuzz, a between channels cacophony, clearly solidifies more disharmony.
These days one doesn’t have to say much, doesn’t even have to disagree, but only pause before responding or ask a question to witness how willing and ready folks are for a fight. Doubt anyone is immune from having performed that behavior at least once, so let this not be a matter of handing medals out but a memory these matters of density are a matter of psyche and the sounds.
While the wonder of strange times is not that they are horrendous or wonderful at all, but why people keep performing the same bad listening expecting different tones and densities as a result. Colloquialisms can often be fun for people those paying attention, deep listening, and often quite annoying for the pre-and-mis conceived densities.
