    I have been speaking about the Bible, which
    says, "In the beginning, there was the word."

    Now that is sheer nonsense. How can the word
    be of itself? Somebody has to utter it. And
    what is a word if there is nobody to understand
    it? It becomes just a sound. But what is a
    sound if there is nobody to hear it?

    Certainly the Bible is wrong. In the beginning
    was silence, in the middle it is silence, in the
    end it is silence.

    Silence is the very soul of existence.

    Before we enter the silence, because it is an
    arduous journey to be in your very innermost
    core – arduous and unknown and forgotten –
    a few laughs will prepare you. I am using
    laughter to create a preparation for you to
    dive deep into silence. After laughter, it is
    simpler.

    Ace psychiatrist, Dr. Feelgood, is waiting
    impatiently for the first patient of the day. Then
    in walks a beautiful young brunette.
    Feelgood suddenly pounces on her, rips off
    her clothes and makes wild, passionate love to
    her. When he is finished, he stands up and
    says, "So, that takes care of my problem –
    now, what is yours?"
