Simple,
With Embodied
Language (EL), everything is very simple, but with Disembodied Language (DL),
things become more and more complicated. As you get better at stopping your DL
and preventing yourself from participating in and contributing to it, a magnificent
process of simplification is unfolding.
This writing
illustrates, that my EL connects with you, although, probably, you have never
consciously had any EL. Of course, you have had EL, but you never knew it, because
you didn’t differentiate between those moments, in which you spoke and listened
to yourself and those, in which you spoke, but weren’t aware about the sound of
your voice.
In EL, you
will naturally say or write exactly what you are able to say and write, but in
DL, you are different from who you are and your language indicates, that you
are out of touch with yourself. Neither religion, politics, philosophy, psychology,
therapy, music, art or biology has addressed the enormous
difference between DL and EL, so what you read here is simple, but incredibly
important.
Paying
attention to the obvious requires awareness, but this awareness is missing, due
to how you deal with your language. In DL, you keep making it seem as if it
doesn’t matter, how you deal with language, but, of course, it matters, as it always
determines what your life will be like. You remain unconscious about how your
language creates your reality, since you never talk with yourself, to listen to
yourself.
While trying
to escape from their own messed-up, problematic, conflicted reality and attaining
some sense of simplicity, many people have – totally in vain – practiced all sorts
of austerities. Everyone with DL is basically ascetic, as they, unknowingly, but
continuously, abstain from the simple instant gratification pleasure, comfort
and self-indulgence of enjoying their own sound, while they speak.
People seek
to escape their vacuous lives with all sorts of exciting, distracting, stimulating
activities, and by going to all sorts of
places – physically, but also psychologically, spiritually, intellectually and
emotionally – but they never pay attention to the simple fact, that they suffer
the consequences of speaking with a sound, which they really don’t like.
In spite of our
so-called freedom, individualism and pursuit of happiness, our self-denial, harsh
restraint, inflexibility and absence of warmth or comfort, is way more common,
than we are willing to admit, as doing so, would require us to become conscious
about our mechanical way of dealing with language, which sets the stage for all
our other behaviors.
Even if, somehow,
we have become, miraculously, capable of acknowledging the immense difference
between our own DL and EL, the chances that we will continue with our EL and permanently
abandon our DL, are very small, as this will only happen, if we fully accept,
that our Language Enlightenment (LE) is the real reason, why we prefer our EL
over our DL.
The simple, hopeful,
hilarious truth is, that our LE is already the case, even when we don’t realize
it and are endlessly side-tracked by our DL. Surely, EL and LE is possible for
everyone, however, only someone who talks often enough with him or herself,
will be able to realize this. Since talking with others seems to be more
important than talking with ourselves, we keep missing out on the most simple,
beneficial, delightful behavior of our life. We can only behave gracefully and
intelligently, once we are guided by our EL, which reveals our LE, each time we
have it.
