________________ PARABLE OF THE CRYSTAL CLOTH SEQUENCE ONE The Curtain is still unlifted. The auditorium is darkened to the clang of the gong, deep-voiced and rosonant, leaving behind vibrations of sound lingering and gradually fading out. In the darkness we hear : A DEEP VOICE I am the Ancient Interpretor, an Invisible Sutradhar who delves into the mystery of the unborn. I am in touch with the thoughts of every babe nestling in its mother's womb. I hear its thoughts distinctly, since I am a State of Listening combined with a State of Voice supported by total Silence, the highest speech in creation, In the beginning was the Word, the Soundbut before the Beginning began by the Word, the Sound, there was deep absolute Silence !
