Unconditioned Listening

Here is one of the best definitions of Noticing that I have ever come across. It comes from "The Ease of Being" by Jean Klein. It really speaks to how important it is to Notice without any expectations; without an agenda.

“Whenever listening is intentional, tension arises because a result is anticipated, and this result is a product a projection of memory. Unconditioned listening has no end in mind and in this openness all the senses are receptive. Hearing is no longer confined to the ears, instead the whole body listens with an ever-expanding sensitivity until you feel yourself in listening itself...you no longer listen because you are the listening”
