Happens,

 

What would you say, if you had only yourself to talk with? You wouldn’t be speaking with yourself, as there is only you, that is, there’s only your experience, but not anyone, who experiences. Don’t call it meditation. It is just another experience.

 

If you are asleep, you don’t experience that you are asleep, yet you sleep. You don’t experience that you are lying in your bed and if you are awake, while you are lying in your bed, there is only lying in your bed, but there’s no you, who is lying in his or her bed.

 

Perhaps, you didn’t know, that both lying and laying involve someone or something in a horizontal position. Laying and lying are present participles of the verbs lay and lie. Interestingly, lay is a transitive verb that refers to putting something in a horizontal position, whereas lie in an intransitive verb that refers to being in a flat position. I was wondering, should I say, I am laying in bed or am I lying in bed? Since laying means, you set something down, it is incorrect to say you are laying in your bed, because if you are in your bed already, you are not laying. Coincidentally, lying also means deceiving. The point of this writing, today is to explore the deception of how we use our language. So, as soon as you go into the spelling or the grammar of language, you enter a jungle of rules, which all obfuscate the fact, that there is, of course, no inner self, who uses language.  

 

To speak or to write without the assumed entity, who does the speaking or the writing, is incredibly  different from the speaking and the writing we are used to and familiar with. However, when we engage in Embodied Language (EL), we realize, it was actually always our own experience, which wanted and needed our verbal attention, but with Disembodied Language (DL) – which continues to be our usual way of dealing with language – we are never able to properly speak about or to give the right amount of attention to our experience, as our energy or intelligence is drained by the imaginary being, who is believed to have the experience.

 

In EL, we can finally express the experience without the experiencer. The experiencer doesn’t exist and the reading of this writing should make that clear to you. The reading of this writing isn’t done by you, but it just happens by itself, since you already know the English language. You don’t do your knowledge of the English language, you behave and, therefore, you are the English Language. You can effortlessly understand – without anyone who understands – as there is no an inner behavior-controlling self. With our DL, we have never been able to speak clearly about this, but during ongoing EL, it is obvious that our belief in the fabricated one, who supposedly believes, is giving us nothing but huge problems.

 

Let’s consider the work that one does or the job one has. Basically, whatever it is, just needs to be done and, yes, it needs to be done correctly and, perhaps, quickly or repeatedly or in the way others require us to do it. Whether you are a brain-surgeon, a writer, a teacher, a prostitute or a carpenter, you just need to do it, but doing it efficiently, totally, promptly, but also, confidently, consciously, knowledgably, doesn’t involve any doer, who does what one does. To the contrary, any kind of notion about the worker, who, presumably does the work, interferes with the job that needs to be done. Similarly, with love, there is no lover and if there is, love is a battle-field.

 

People are endlessly involved in conflicts with each other and with themselves. How can that be? The problem is not that people have problems, but that they are the problem, that who they believe to be is the problem. They can’t be verbal about it, so that the problem stops being a problem. In other words, we don’t know how to communicate, because EL happens completely by itself, while DL is effortful, forceful, unnatural, deceitful and pretentious. If we hold back, as we usually do, we don’t talk, but we  dominate, manipulate and exploit each other. We keep our creepy sense of what we are really up to out of sight, because it would reveal what we do.

 

Who we are is nothing else than what we do and there is no doer to do what we do, even when we lie. Also, of course, there is no doer, who didn’t do anything. For example, you forgot to pick up that book at the library, on your way back from work. You didn’t do it, but there’s no one who forgot, as that is merely a figure of speech. How about falling asleep? You are not falling asleep and if you believe in such nonsense, you have insomnia, like millions of people, who, as they say, can’t stop worrying or thinking about stuff. Of course, once you have EL instead of DL, you realize, your language flows, as there is no such a thing as the thinker, who thinks.

 

Like your breathing, heart-beat or digestion, your Language Enlightenment (LE) – which is expressed by your EL, but covered up by your DL – happens by itself. Everything you do happens because it can happen and based on your history of conditioning nothing else could happen. Surely, your happiness isn’t caused by EL and your negative experiences aren’t caused by your DL. Your newness happens by itself and there’s no one, who does EL, but in DL, you live and believe in the falsehood, that you are the doer of what you do. In ongoing EL, you find,  your LE just happens. All your trouble deals with how you deal with your language (pun intended).
