Quantum Listening is not really a Buddhist exercise But like Buddhism, Deep Listening puts experience before everything else. It emphasizes both detail and scope of, in Pauline's words, 'the sounds of daily life, of nature, or one's own thoughts'. 'We're not a nation of listeners, ' she wrote. To say the least! Deep Listening is inside your head and empathetic. Both focal and global. -- Laurie Anderson, from her Foreword Pauline's Quantum Listening is a clearly worded manifesto advocating for the practice of Deep Listening - the practice of practice. Accessing both the focal and the global at once makes us Futurists too, both creators and recipients of the newness, the peace and the health we long for. A champion of the underserved and underrepresented, Pauline dares us to embrace change, the unfamiliar and even the unknown. She wants us to be bold enough to imagine a benevolent society that can embrace technology to create a sublime music. -- IONE, from her Introduction
