When ever I hear this "if a tree falls and noone is there to hear it, does it make a noise?". I think, it's not so much that it doesn't exist but that noone has bothered to have expanded their consciousness to include everything. In other words, if someone is one with everything, then trees falling would be part of that oneness, even though noone was really there.
Sure we can only really be aware of what we see, hear, touch or sense in some way. This is not an invatation to just let our awareness sit at a certain level. It's more to try to expand so the trees falling can be part of us.
