It produces overwhelming bliss when the "I" sense created through identification begins to shift towards subtler/sattvic bondage. -Peter > > Years ago, Fairfielders Jeffrey Headquist and > Patrick > Vaughan produced an audiotape of 3-D sounds using > an inventor's microphone that captures the location > of noises as well as their sound.
