What do you imagine is trying to get your attention? Imagine what happens when such a bell rings, do you respond, do you get anxious. John Lilly says much of our life is our continual response to "Emergency Fire Drill Dictates."
Rumi has a great line about the knock at the door, certainly and archetypal moment, but he twists it a little and talks about already being inside.
