The noise

In this incantation, I describe a constant sound—neither static nor hum—that I now recognize as the sound of my true body projecting my inner and outer worlds. It is the sound of my awakening process, grounding me in the present moment and offering reassurance.


It has always been there, but never as loud as it is now. It sounds like white noise; formless, but constant. Not quite static, but yet not a hum. Definitely not ringing, though I just today there was ringing for a moment.

I know it is not a disease, or a marker of my old age. It is, instead, the sound my true body is making as it projects secondself and thirdself. It is the sound of the mechanics of my awakening. It is more present than ever before… It forms one sound layer at my head, and then the thirdself sound layer extends outward from it. It is always there, and reassuringly brings me back to my moment and before when I focus on it.
