Silence shared in words
presents
In the Beginning There Was Silence
The Christian bible begins
with the statement, "in the beginning, was the word."
do you agree?
There has been no creation.
How can there be "the beginning"?
The creation is continuous; it is creativity.
Back you move,
you will not find the beginning;
ahead you go, you will not find the end.
It is beginning-less, endless creative energy.
So in the first place there was no beginning.
God never created the world -- there is no God.
And the Bible says, "In the beginning was the word."
That is the most
ridiculous thing to say.
If we assume
just for the argument's sake that there was a beginning, then I will say,
"In the beginning there was silence."
How can there be "the word" in the beginning?
Just look at the idea. How can
the word be in the beginning? -- then what was before the word?
Of course there must have been silence, before the word disturbed it.
And silence
means much more
because that's the silence
I am trying in many ways for you to go into.
It was in the beginning,
and it is in the middle, and it will be in the end,
because
at the very center of this whole creativity,
of this tremendous creativity of existence,
at the very center there is silence.
