No-Hearer

Solitude is not simply about being away from others, which could be but isolation or avoidance.  No, solitude is more than letting go of company, people, projects.  It is about letting go of that self-reflective part of you.  You become a "NO-HEARER." What?  Think of the wind blowing.  Your "self" is aware of the wind, though you are alone in silence.  You feel the wind, and hear it.  But at some deeper place within you, a solitariness takes over and you no longer are aware of the  hearing self.  You become a no-hearer, though the wind continues to blow.  You are beyond, beneath such awareness, such feelings.  This is where scars of the past receive the spiritual salve that heals.  After this deep solitude passes, you are more connected to the world than you were before.  People are the same around you, but you see them differently.  And so they are not the same.  Who changed?
