Three,
There are
three ways, in which I can consider this writing. I guess, I could come up with
many more ways, but, for now, three seems to be enough. The first one, is that
you read this quietly, but you don’t really understand what I am talking or writing
about. The second one, is that you read it, as I want you to read it, that is, out
loud, so that you can hear your own voice and get a sense, that you too, of
course, could have life-changing, intelligent and funny Embodied Language (EL),
instead of dumb, dull and dangerous Disembodied Language (DL). The third one,
is that I imagine, that I am saying this to you. My writing today is about this
last one.
I’m standing
or sitting in front of you and looking you in the eye. You can directly hear
me, feel me and experience me, as I ask you calmly, to bring your attention to
the sound of my voice, which is very different from everyone else, as I listen
to myself while I speak. As you keep listening to my sound, you’ll notice, what I say
is something you already know, but usually don’t pay much attention to. I’m not
fighting to get your attention, to the contrary, I’m attentive to my own self-expression.
I say to you, any kind of speech in which anyone is trying to dominate anyone
else isn’t communication. I call it DL, because speakers force, manipulate, hypnotize,
violate, distract, overwhelm and abuse the listeners.
I always talk
about this topic, nobody talks about, because nobody knows how to talk about
it. As you can tell, although my emphasis is on the third way of writing, the
first and the second are included, as I know very well, if you bother to read
any of my texts at all, you probably read it quietly and don’t get much out of
it. Against all odds, I still hope you read it out loud, as the real deal is, that
I’m talking with you, in the same way that I want to speak. As you read this
out loud, you become aware, that you have never read anything like this, because
you can recognize, that I am enlightened and since you can recognize this, it means, you are enlightened
too.
Your and my
enlightenment are the same and we only really talk with each other, when we can
have EL and when that is self-evident. The big surprise is that our enlightenment
is hidden in our language. When you pay attention to language, like I do, you
are bound to discover your Language Enlightenment (LE) with your EL. Therefore,
these words, read out loud by you, are the beginning of your EL. However,
although you may get a glimpse of what that would be like, the reality of just reading
this text is, I’m not standing or sitting in front of you and you don’t talk
with me. Let’s face it, you aren’t even reading out loud and, even if you did,
you probably gave up on it already, as you got annoyed listening to yourself.
It would be
better, if you really talked with me, but these words might still encourage you
to do that, because if you would bother, to read them out loud, you would
actually really meet yourself. Why don’t you like what you hear? What is so
terribly wrong with listening to yourself? You need to answer that question for
yourself, not because I tell you to, but because you don’t allow yourself to
listen to your voice while you speak, due
to your DL conditioning history. You can deny it all you want, but it is true.
If you would
accept, that you don’t like to listen to yourself, while your read these words,
what would happen? Of course, you would stop reading. You reason, there’s
something wrong with this writing. It is too personal, too insistent or too
uninteresting. How about the fact, because of your DL, you are not allowed to
be personal with yourself, as you are not good enough, not smart enough or
worthy enough? There are many things about you, you simply don’t want to know,
let alone, hear yourself talk about. In other words, while you pick and choose,
you never acknowledge that part of you, which you reject. In EL, this wouldn’t
be the case, as it always includes and accepts your so-called shadow or dark
side.
In EL, you
continue listening, even if you don’t like what someone says or how someone
speaks and, certainly, this, of course, also applies to speaking with and
listening to yourself. In EL, you continue reading, even if you don’t like what
you read and you continue being involved with your language, as you find out
why, it apparently means nothing to you, that you can speak with and listen to
yourself. This verbal meeting with yourself would occur only if it could occur,
as the sound of your voice doesn’t lie about these words, which belong to
everyone.
English
language is for anyone who acquires it. It doesn’t belong to me or you. Your
opinion about the ownership of language derives from DL. As far as I am
concerned, the whole notion of plagiarism is based on the failed, intellectual,
cowardly attempt to pretend we have EL. This is especially evident with so-called
holy books, which, hilariously, fanatically and superstitiously, are said to be
authored by some imaginary higher power. Why would I punish anyone for using
the same words as I do, for speaking the same language? This nonsense idea, that someone, that anyone, can be by
himself or by herself, the author of some sentences or some verbal phrases, has
perpetuated your DL, which, not accidentally, is everywhere. Coercive speech is
the rule, that is why your EL never gets any attention.
When we share
our LE with our EL and truly talk with each other, we agree, the historical DL verbal
dominance is anti-intellectual and catastrophic, as it has always prevented us
from connecting with each other and, most importantly, with ourselves. At this moment, you may hear yourself read about these
words of freedom, because they neither belong to some to person, some theory,
some group or some country. The so-called freedom of speech couldn’t get us to
EL or LE. Surely, it was important, up to the point, where we supposedly agreed
to disagree, but that never happened. As long as DL continues, we will be, as
we have always been, at war with each other and ourselves. We forever argue
about rights and laws, but our EL and LE
takes us beyond what was written. Indeed, our spoken language is and has always
been more important than written language, but all we have done, with our insidious,
problematic DL ways, is cover up this obvious
basic fact about human relationship and psychology.
Even though
I discovered my EL and LE some forty years ago, it took me quite some time, to figure
out that neither any celebrities, lawyers, psychologists, teachers, therapists,
scientists, religionists, philosophers or other authorities are interested in
EL. All they can do, with their DL, is distract us from knowing the truth, that
our DL has nothing to offer to us and should be stopped, so that we can finally
have some EL. While reading this text about EL, you should get the point, there
is no point in continuing with DL. Your mean criticism, your violent distrust, your
arrogant paranoia, your hungry propaganda and your self-defeating skepticism
belong to DL, but this text is not about that. This text is about EL, which,
because it was spoken, could be written. You have now read my EL about my LE
and you could hear – if you had read it out loud – your own LE, expressed by
the sound of your voice. Don’t worry, if you didn’t get it the first time around,
just read it a second or third time, to consciously experience the intended
effect, which will then stimulate you to explore your LE with your EL on your
own. And, yes, we can always talk about it with each other.
