    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?"
