Once you have heard the bell sound you will never forget it. It does 
seem to be inside and outside the head at the same time, which is 
what makes it so powerful. It is like nothing else. The saints wait 
for it and meditate for it all their lives to stay in its path, 
within the orb of its sound. It has to be cultivated within just as 
one would cultivate a fine garden.
