"It’s incredible, it’s amazing! Those who have gone forth remain in such peaceful meditations, in that, while conscious and awake he neither saw nor heard a sound as it was raining and pouring, lightning was flashing, and thunder was cracking."
Mahāparinibbāṇa Sutta
Replying to @sapient_4u
Sounds and sensations usually dissolve in deeper states for me, but one time, a nearby pole getting struck by lightning and setting off a cacophony of car alarms sent my heart rate up while meditating. Getting better at weathering the storm, but not entirely immune.
