Silence is a medium in which the students slowly learn to breathe until they can stay there for hours with no movements of the throat muscles or vocal cords. A silence frequency of infra sound was developed that vibrates the words loose from the body and this device was used in the last stages of training a slow resonance that grows in the neck and spinal column and reaches deep into the internal organs vibrating the whole body shaking the words loose visible as a haze. At this point many students feel as if a parasitic being has been shaken loose from the body to dissolve reluctantly in the air. After the baptism of silence the student moves with ease in the soundless medium but words are at his disposition when he needs them to be used with absolute precision.

stirring silence like soup in a pot . sitting still solid in|on a well deep in|of silence thick turnful and tunefull . ancient invisible music of no[thing]ness . pregnant possibility of re-identification with IT, in absence of symbolsignsticker labels of WORD . all [thing]s might be any[thing] before WORDvoice reaches outentacles and names ‘for each name kills the thing IT is’: in an open field of detached non-interference, thoughts freely arise move associate dissolve develop [or do not] a life of their own … turbulent thoughtwaters …. ideas eddy …. connections ripple across mind …. then calm clear cool calculation …. here in pure silence, primordial soup of creation, reality is born, before umwelt crystallises …. external world a riot of sense impressions, beautiful a-human music . and then organising function of WORD coaxes significance into solid form …. state of instrumentality ensues …. questions of purpose profit means and media arise …. sense and meaning …. me-ing

To travel in space you must learn to leave the old verbal garbage behind: God talk, priest talk, mother talk, family talk, love talk, party talk, country talk. You must learn to see what is in front of you with no preconceptions.
