Capitalize,

 

I write about my Embodied Language (EL), because I like to read what I have written. These words and sentences appear so calmly and deliberately. This is how I like to be with my language. I have no axe to grind and I’m not competing with anyone, as I know that my words pertain, exclusively, to my reality.

 

Although everyone verbally creates and lives in their own reality, nobody is capable, like me, to capitalize on this fact. This is why everyone pretends, as if it is possible and necessary, to live in, what is believed to be a shared reality. However, there exists no such thing, as there is only for each of us our individual description, formulation, perception or memory of  what we call the world or the objective reality.  

 

Due to our constant involvement in Disembodied Language (DL), we’ve never been fully able, to grasp and accept the truth, that we create and live in our own language-reality. Of course, with DL, this isn’t and can’t be our Language Enlightenment (LE), as we don’t listen to and are unconscious about what we say. All our struggles are always about our mistaken assumption, that we, supposedly, live in the same world, but, presumably, see, hear and experience things differently. Fact is, however, we each live in the consequences of our own actions and inaction.

 

My behavior isn’t any different from anyone else’s behavior, in that, it will only continue, due to the reinforcing consequences, it received in the past. Surely, all behavior is lawful. What behaviorists call operant behavior, resulted in many formulations about how things work, in scientific verbal behavior. Thus, we recognize different disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, biology, just to name a few.

 

The different realms of science couldn’t have been discovered without agreement and verification, but sadly, in spite of all our scientific endeavors, we haven’t acknowledged the difference between DL and EL. As a result, we are impaired by and stuck with our DL, a superficial, superstitious, mechanical, unintelligent way of dealing with our language.

 

It is no coincidence, in science, everything is about written language, which determines how we speak, but, we are, verbally, putting the horse behind the wagon, as it is, naturally, an irrefutable fact, that we write and have always written, in the way that we have spoken.  

 

In EL, we are no longer fighting, arguing or debating, as it is self-evident, to each of us, as individuals, that we are using our language for ourselves, instead of, as we keep claiming to do in DL, for others. Science is the effective way of using language. Thus, we can capitalize on our language only, if we are rational.

 

What we, generally, refer to as our emotions, are, in fact, experiences, we haven’t been able to get clear about, because we’ve never been able to continue with our EL for any significant period of time.

 

There is nothing paradoxical or contradictory about our need to be rational about our emotions, but this is only going to happen, if we are going to listen to ourselves while we speak. Since we don’t do this in DL, we are emotionally confused and, unknowingly, endlessly, carried away. Unconsciously, with DL, we are emotionally enslaved and exploited, as this gives us the sense of order or stability we crave, because we don’t know how to create order, with our EL, by simply listening to ourselves while we speak.

 

With DL, we can’t capitalize on our language. Those, who, presumably, enslave and exploit others, are always themselves enslaved and exploited, but since we don’t know anything about the great difference between DL and EL – and have never continued with our own EL, in the only way it can be continued, which is, in a skillful, deliberate, effortless, natural manner – this duality, between the oppressor and the oppressed, the powerful and the powerless, the intelligent and the unintelligent, the sensitive and the insensitive, the courageous and the coward or the skillful and the unskillful, was never dissolved by our language. In effect, we’ve never actually had the conversation, in which this inequality disappeared.

 

We couldn’t and didn’t’ capitalize on our language, as our DL, which is our common way of dealing with language, kept us trapped in dualism and, therefore, cast out any sense of oneness. Only with EL, are we able to fully understand, why we’ve come to live as fearfully, as chaotically and as conflicted as we do.

 

The coercive order, which, on the one hand, was, and still continues to be, imposed on us and which we keep trying to, inadvertently, impose on others, is the only order we know and we tend to merely spiritually, economically, philosophically, culturally, fantasize about some sort of higher order of things, rather than have the actual conversation, in which order and harmony is created, by the sound of our voice, as we speak. Order is only revealed by us, if we capitalize on our language, because we continue to express and enjoy the sound of our wellbeing.

 

EL isn’t higher or better than DL, but it shows us, that DL is forced and involuntary, while EL is free and voluntary. The freedom of EL is afforded to us due to our understanding of our conditioning with DL. Freedom is verbal, as we can say, what couldn’t be said, as long as we were repeating ourselves.
