*Restoring Sensitive Hearing* Q: Hi. B: And to you, good day. Q: Good day to you. I feel fortunate in that I discovered, I think, pretty early on, what excites me. And that is music, and... B: Music! Q: Yes. And as time passed, I found out more specifically that song writing in particular excited me. B: All right. Q: But that's not really what I came to address here. B: All right. Be direct! Q: About a year and a half ago I had a problem with my hearing. Actually I'm still experiencing this problem. What it is, is volume...I'm very sensitive to any kind of volume at all, especially my left ear. And it is, as I said, very sensitive. I experience it as a dampening and deadening of sound at times, and it sounds like I've got broken eggshells in there. B: All right. Q: It's improved somewhat in a year and a half, and I've seen a number of doctors. They haven't helped me at all. But, as I said, it has got better. I'm wondering at this point if I should interpret this problem with my hearing as a... how should I interpret it? Is it a sign that there is...? B: You are, to some degree, breaking out of a shell, which has muffled the sounds of the reality you are breaking into. You are, to some degree, still immersed in what might be called embryonic fluid, and that also muffles the sounds. Now, this is the metaphysical idea. Some of this idea of your hearing can be assisted and accelerated by some efficacious compounds, herbal compounds, that you may ingest to invigorate your nervous system and those pathways that your brain uses, electrochemically speaking, to create the stimulation of sonic perception. These you may find in some of your literature if you simply allow yourself to be attracted through synchronicity to the ideas that you need: the idea of quiet listening to yourself can improve that ability. But mostly it is that you are now passing through a membrane; and this membrane, to some degree, has been acting as a buffer. Because you have come out of a life wherein you believed, that in this life, you needed some degree of protection. You came into this life with some degree of belief that you were somehow extra sensitive, and that coming back into the physiological reality would be too abrasive for you. So you have surrounded yourself with this embryonic fluid, out of which now you are just recently beginning to emerge. You understand? Q: Yes. And that makes me optimistic. Thank you. B: Thank you. Q: So I shouldn't ... should I interpret this as, on a certain level, that it's a nerve damage that I've experienced? B: Perhaps not a damage, but simply a resistance, a nerve resistance. Now, one suggestion, one suggestion. Q: Yes. B: Both to assist your audio acuity, and also to form an analogy for your emergence from a particular type of shell, would be: In your countryside, or whatever it is that is peaceful to you, and quiet, pay close attention to the sounds that your birds make. Listen to that music, and listen to the clarity of the tone. There are sounds and patterns and information within that can train your nerves to hear in specific ways. Understand? Q: Yeah, yeah. B: And, by analogy, also assist you to spread your wings and fly in that particular sonic endeavor. And to create your own song in a perfect reflection of their song - in a very natural way, so that all will be pure of tone. Q: Well that sounds like fun. I would enjoy doing that. B: All right. Q: So I don't have to interpret this as a sign that perhaps there is another area that I could... B: As we said, there may be some herbal compounds you can attract yourself to that will assist you and accelerate you in that direction. Q: Well, thanks for your help. B: We thank you very much.
