Better,

 

I write my own texts, to existing famous songs. For instance, I have my own version of the Dutch and the American national anthem. Many people have said,  not once or twice, but all the time, my texts are  better than the original. I am not trying to be better than anyone else, but I’m certainly feeling happier than most people. Also, I laugh more than everyone I know, not about some boring stand-up comedian, but about myself. I find myself funnier than others.

 

Ridiculously, people pay a lot of money, to go to a seminar, about how to be a better person. As long as they still engage in Disembodied Language (DL), however, they merely develop a holier-than-thou attitude. I laugh, behind their backs, about their air of moral superiority, because they have no sense of humor. I don’t disapprove of or feel annoyed about a person’s self-righteousness, because I am perfectly okay with people making a big fool of themselves.

 

If you, like me, would engage in Embodied Language (EL), you wouldn’t act sanctimoniously, but you would acknowledge and know, that your way of dealing with language, is more intelligent than those who, unconsciously, engage in DL. Since DL is based on negative emotions, but EL on positive emotions, if you would have EL, you would be having a good time, while everyone else is – without even realizing it – suffering. Moreover, you would be surprised to hear and notice, many people are claiming, there is great meaning to their superstitious lives, in which they can never be themselves and keep pretending to be something, which they are not. Also, you will be stunned by the fact, that everyone insists on having DL, while they are doing things, they don’t want to.

 

Is doing what I want to do – doing what makes me happy – making me a better person, than those who believe they have to do what they don’t want to do? You tell me or better yet, you tell yourself. Regardless of  how miserable, conflicted and messed up they are, people with DL, always show pride and arrogance through their words and actions. Hypocritically, they  endlessly blame others, for what they actually do themselves and as long they remain involved in DL, there is no end to their hair-splitting arguments. I don’t participate in any of this bullshit, because I have better things to do. In my opinion, being the better person, simply means: having better things to do than to engage in DL, but doing better things, is not an option for those, who continue with their DL.  

 

Your standards of judgement will be very different, if you engage in EL, instead of your usual DL, because you are concerned about your own behavior, rather than with the behavior of others. It is amazing, what you pick up about the shenanigans of others, when – due to your EL – your behavior is the focus of your attention. People are busy with the behavior of others, to be distracted from their own problems. I am not busy with you. I am not interested in your problems, as I don’t need your or someone else’s  negativity to distract me. Yes, it never occurred to you, but you are never preoccupied with someone else’s positive behavior, but always with their negativity.

 

With EL, you will be, verbally-better-than-thou, as there is no one else, to better judge your behavior than you yourself. Whatever you experience in your life, is the result of your previous behavior, but also of what you haven’t done. With EL, you are going to find out, that you can still do what you haven’t and couldn’t do and you can stop any behavior, which you don’t want. Changing the hearts and minds of people with DL was never happening. As a matter of fact, our habitual way of dealing with our language makes behavioral change impossible. Humility is a cover up and those who flaunt it, are full of shit.  

 

The worst part about being the better person, is that you can only, supposedly, accomplish this, by trying to improve yourself. Good luck with that. You try this approach and that method and what is the end result? You are just going around in circles. Even with the best of intentions – remember, the path to hell is paved with good intentions – you always end up shooting yourself in the foot, trying to improve yourself. With EL, you stop with that nonsense, as you are, who you can be. Moreover, with EL, you have no predetermined plans, goals or so-called thoughts, as you are happy and satisfied. You don’t act on your so-called good intentions, but on your DL, that is, on your superficial way of dealing with your language. The unintended consequences,  you keep having, are not result of your imagination, but of how you keep telling yourself lies, with your DL.

 

How are you supposedly to let go of your anger, without realizing, your way of talking keeps it going? You only become more and more angry, as long as your DL continues and, inevitably, you explode again. It is not your belief, that makes you angry and changing your belief, isn’t going to make any difference. Only if you change how you deal with your language, only when your DL becomes EL, will you be able to have a different behavior. The problem is, with DL, you will always use effort, you force yourself to do this or that, but this is not how your behave better and consequently, feel better. To the contrary, every time you make yourself do something, you become less sensitive and more automatic and although you may do what you tell yourself to do, it doesn’t make you happy. With EL, you will be better off, as you don’t worry about anger, because you, literally, have become capable of doing something better. 

 

 

 

 

Precisely,

 

The word precisely is used to express complete agreement with what someone is saying. It also is used to describe when something is done with total accuracy or perfection. During Embodied Language (EL), we agree and approve of each other, but in a manner, we have never really done before. Actually, once we have EL, instead of our usual Disembodied Language (DL), we realize, what we considered to be agreement, exact, direct or factual, wasn’t true.

 

In scientific literature, people make sure to express themselves strictly, without vagueness – in writing – but when it comes to their spoken language, they  only pay lip-service to being scientific, because DL is just as common in Academia, as everywhere else. How can a supposedly important, knowledgeable, intelligent speaker, who – with his or her scripted, predetermined way of talking – dominates, forces and manipulates a listener, have anything to do with being scientific? It hasn’t and yet, it is considered to be perfectly acceptable for scientists, professors, scholars and teachers, to make students listen to them, while they don’t even listen to themselves. 

 

 

Written language – rather than spoken language – is the basis for law, the rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority. People prefer  written over oral or spoken agreements, as written contracts are easier to enforce, as a clear record of the agreement exists and cannot be disputed. The word pre-scribe has a Latin prefix, meaning before and is attached to the verb scribe, from scribere, meaning to write. Strictly speaking (pun intended), to prescribe – to write – is to lay down the law and to tell people what they must do. This entire verbal legal edifice is based on DL, that is, on our common way of talking, which, regardless, how many laws we may have had, hasn’t changed at all.

 

Human beings have, historically, with laws – and, therefore, with written language – tried to regulate and, let’s not forget, enforce, each other’s behavior. Of course, in their private lives, it always was and still continues to be, the way in which they talk with each other, which determines, how they behave and relate to each other. Surely, only to the extent one was taught or told, at home, one will behave within the laws of what is considered to be acceptable or expected in one’s society. It is no surprise our DL has continued, generation after generation, as engaging in EL, in a very real sense, equals breaking the law.

 

With EL, we are going to discover the lawfulness of our behavior, that is, we finally begin acknowledge and pay attention to the irrefutable fact, that how we deal with our language determines everything we do or don’t do. Everything we experience, at any given moment, always has meaning to us, as it is the inevitable consequence of our previous behavior. Even if we manage to step out of our conditioning history with DL only for a few brief moments, we will witness multiple beneficial consequences of having precisely done so. The accumulative effects of both our EL as well as our DL are indisputable.

 

What makes EL precisely so very interesting, is that we can, at long last, describe DL and its devasting consequences. Regardless of which society we are looking at, we see the results of our involvement in and tacit agreement with DL. Accurate description of DL was never before possible, as it could only be accomplished with ongoing EL. Although we may have had sporadic instances of EL, we’ve never had it consciously, skillfully and, therefore, continuously. As a matter of fact, it is precisely our failure to have ongoing EL, which has made us settle for DL as the norm. Furthermore, it is, of course, our unspoken agreement with DL, which has always kept it going.

 

You can define a free person precisely as someone whose fate is not centrally or directly dependent on peer assessment. This doesn’t mean free person is inconsiderate about others or goes overboard on unconscious, excessive, harmful behavior. To the contrary, a free individual, feels responsible for the outcome of his or her actions. Everything that happens in his or her life – no matter how he or she interprets it – is precisely because of how he or she has dealt with his or her language. Therefore, our experience of who we are, will permanently change, once we engage in EL, as our Language Enlightenment (LE) is indisputable.       

 

Break,

 

As you will discover, your Embodied Language (EL) is a complete break with your past. What was once very important, simply no longer matters. However, this only concerns your negative experiences, as your positive past experiences have brought you where you are today. Your negative experiences didn’t produce anything of value and you are glad, you no longer pretend, they have any meaning.

 

The big lie, perpetuated by Disembodied Language (DL) is this: presumably, our suffering is good for something. It wasn’t and our misery could have been stopped much earlier, if we would have been honest with ourselves. Another aspect of the crazy tenacity with which we maintain the idea, that if it doesn’t kill you, it only makes you stronger, is the fact, that we become more insensitive and callous, due to our conflicts, as we don’t use our language in a non-reactive manner. Our whole notion of being ourselves or of wanting to be ourselves, is a result of our social impairment and so, we lie to ourselves, because we lie to each other. It is never because we lie to ourselves, that we lie to each other. We parrot this fallacy, because we have endlessly blamed the individual for all that’s wrong in society, but we’ve never questioned the collective, our so-called group-think, which goes on in the name of politics, religion, ethnicity, gender, science, sport or art.

 

There are no such things as thoughts, as there are only words, which are spoken, written, listened to and read. In reality, this cultural group-think, is how we actually talk, listen to and, subsequently, write, read and believe to understand. The Bible, Tora, Gita or Koran, are good examples of this, but, of course, also all our great best-sellers of the world-literature, are nothing but the products of our involvement in DL and our inability to have EL. It has never been said, but I say it and everyone, who comes to know EL, will say it too: we keep having DL, because it is socially reinforced in our spoken and in our written conversation. The latter, of course, never was a conversation anyway, as we took to writing, in the same way, as I took to this writing, in an attempt to still, supposedly, say what, supposedly, could not be said, in real time. This writing is different from any other writing, as it isn’t based on what I couldn’t say to you, but on what I can say and have said to you.

 

Rather than being a figment of my imagination, to please some hopefully appreciative audience, I am my own appreciative, real, audience and I write for myself. Instead of competing for the socially reinforcing effects of being a famous author, I’m familiar with and into self-reinforcing consequences of using language to benefit me, as an individual. The fact, that most people don’t want to consider my work, signifies the insanity of DL, which silences and ignores anyone, who attempts to address it. This has nothing to do with me personally, as it is the history of mankind. We have always punished and killed individuals, who didn’t adhere to what the group demanded from its members. Surely, their non-compliance, reactivity,  disobedience and martyrdom, has never resulted in the discovery and continuation of EL. It couldn’t. To the contrary, in the name of some utopia, it always resulted in obsessive, dogmatic, unnatural, forceful behavior, which basically destroyed everything that was good.

 

Regardless of whether our so-called values derive from capitalism, nationalism, communism or any other ism, we have, unknowingly, continued with our DL and made it impossible to have EL, although it is the natural thing to do. In effect, everywhere in the world, our way of using language is effortful and, therefore, producing superficial lives, which are, at best, based on trying to live as best we can,  with how we actually deal with our language. As stated, we have never been able to properly deal with our language and unless we do that, all our efforts are in vain. There is on other way, than to recognize our DL for what it is and has always been: a total catastrophe. If we don’t do that, things keep getting more and more intense and escalate, as they have always done, into war, chaos and destruction.

 

I understand, why my discovery isn’t embraced by any established institution: our verbal task is not concerning others, but concerning ourselves, as individuals. Once we embark on our ability to have ongoing EL – by ourselves – it cannot be denied, we could have ongoing EL with others, but our ability to continue our individual exploration of EL, depends on the social reinforcement of others, who, like us, also safely and joyously explored it on their own.

 

As you calmly read these words out loud, you can have EL, just like that, alone with yourself, because these words will remind you, that it is possible and necessary. However, you will not continue to have EL by yourself and you will not be experiencing the continuation of its positive outcomes, if you do not have any EL with others. This has always been the problem. We have always made it more important, to have, what we believed to be EL with others, rather than with ourselves. In DL, talking with others is more important than talking with ourselves, but in EL, the opposite is true. The social reinforcement of ongoing EL is a function of its self-reinforcing effects. Unless we enjoy our EL by ourselves, with ourselves first, we will not be able to have it with others, who did exactly as we did. This return to our natural way of being, will be facilitated by our own language, as it was our language, which took us away from who we have always been. Our Language Enlightenment (LE) therefore, is our conversation with others, who are able to have EL with us and our DL has nothing to do with one or the other.   

 

     

 

We,

 

We are in this together. I am writing this and you are reading this. I have written, for you, this expression of my Embodied Language (EL) about my Language Enlightenment (LE). By reading, you can understand and realize, you have been wasting your life with Disembodied Language (DL). I have been behaving as you do, but I no longer behave like that. You can, as I did, stop your DL, become aware of your LE and have, from now on, EL. Moreover, we can have EL. This writing, is my invitation and challenge to you.

 

We are going to have EL, as DL is outdated and no longer working. It used to work, as the structures, which made us adhere to the hierarchy, were still in place. However, with the advance of our technology, these structures have disappeared. No matter how much we try to go back to what was, it will never be the same as it was before. The time for those, who were supposedly powerful, superior and important and able to dominate, those who were meaningless, powerless and unimportant, is over. No speaker can force any listener to remain forever a listener. In EL, every listener becomes a speaker and every speaker becomes a listener. We will enjoy this turn-taking.

 

In DL, we always only speak as citizens of a country, as believers in superstitious beliefs, as voters of a political party or as adherends of some theory, but in EL, we say new things, because we are not bound by the past, as we have emerged from our conditioning history. When we continue to have EL together, we will be able express and be aware of our LE and we will create a different world, than the one we have created with our DL. The world will be ours, as my world will be yours and your world will be mine.

 

Right now, your world isn’t my world, because our DL and EL do not mix. I live the good life with my EL, while you live in misery with your DL. When you will stop denying this, we will have ongoing EL together. Your world never was mine and could never be mine, no matter, how hard I have tried to impose it on myself. However, my world can become yours, as in EL you will have stopped imposing anything on yourself, as well as on others. Right now, it is incomprehensible to you, there can be a way of dealing with language in which nothing is imposed on anyone. Welcome to my world, which is the natural and effortless reality, created by our nervous system, when it perceives no longer any threat. Yes, we embody our language.

 

In EL, we are going to laugh and cry together about the absurdity, chaos and cruelty of our history with DL. How could we establish, let alone, maintain, good relations with each other, if we, unconsciously,  kept disembodying our language? Moreover, how are we ever going to be on the so-called same page, where we agree with each other, because we are no longer threatening each other? We’ve never even asked and answered these questions for ourselves.

 

We can only come together, if we, each individually, do the necessary work, to reliably make it possible. The essential steps, each of us will have to take, in order to be able to have ongoing EL, isn’t a political, religious, philosophical, psychological, intellectual, sexual, theoretic, scientific, racial, economic or cultural group-phenomenon, but a novel process of becoming familiar with our own language.

 

We have never really spoken with each other – or with ourselves – in such a way, that the purpose of our conversation was to listen to ourselves. To the contrary, we only know the so-called interaction, in which listening to others, is compulsory. This way of talking not only has prevented us from listening to ourselves, but it also gave rise, to the creation and the perception – with our language – of our reality, which simply isn’t true. Once we listen to ourselves and engage in ongoing EL, we experience the great relief of no longer being oppressed by our own DL.

 

We are free only, when we hear, how we use our own language. We have ears and we can hear, in the sound of our voice, when we embody our language  or when this is not the case. Since EL is unknown to us, we don’t realize, neurologically, we have always agreed with each other, about when we feel safe to socially engage. We are used to and conditioned by DL, which is the ineffective, yet only possible way of dealing with language, when we, autonomically,  automatically and reactively, flee, fight or freeze.

 

We are going to talk and come out of the dark ages of our DL, as our EL will allow us to get to know ourselves, that is, our LE can only be revealed by our EL. The self-knowledge, which is acquired due to our involvement in EL is permanent, as we can really say what is true for us, as individuals. In other words, the positive consequences of EL, are instantly there and will create a future of health and happiness.

 

Although I have written this for you, I have written it for myself, as this is what I know to be true. I live in Chico, California and don’t see any reason, why the local or national news media, Butte College (from which I graduated with an AA degree in Social and Behavioral Science and where I taught psychology for many years) or California State University Chico (from which I graduated with a BA in Psychology), shouldn’t invite me, to talk about DL, EL and LE, as this is the quintessential issue of our time. Also, I hold a Masters of Arts from Ryokan University, as well as a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University, but never received any sign of interest from these pretentious institutions in this important matter. I state my case clearly: we are going to have a completely new paradigm.

 

We are listening to all kinds of idiots, who can only give us more DL and know nothing about EL. We are not moving forward with our lives, as long as we remain trapped by our conditioning history with DL. We cannot be ourselves with DL and, inevitably, are trying to be something we are not. This problem is much bigger than so-called gender-dysphoria about which we hear a lot, but which is just another failed attempt – and there have historically been many – at addressing and changing our language. Yes, we have, until my discovery of EL, been unsuccessful to stop our DL, but those who have taken my concept seriously, have always succeeded, because EL works.      

 

 

 

Kort,

 

Dit schrijven creëert een kort moment, om een ​​pauze te nemen van je vreselijke Ontlichaamde Taal (OT). Ik heb dit al eerder gezegd, maar wil het nog een keer zeggen, omdat het zo'n belangrijke kwestie is: je zult praten over je Taal Verlichting (TV), zodra je Belichaamde Taal (BT) doorgaat en wij zullen samen praten over onze TV, als onze BT verder kan gaan.

 

Ik heb geen fantasieën over BT, maar ik weet, het is mogelijk, dat op een dag een intelligent iemand, met veel geld, mijn werk zal lezen en contact met mij zal opnemen, omdat hij of zij eindelijk zijn of haar geld, ten goede wil doen komen, aan wat ik niet wil doen, wat ik niet kan doen en dus ook niet meer probeer te doen, namelijk: mijn werk promoten. Waar het hart vol van is stroomt de mond van over, wat in het Engels vertaald “put your money where your mouth is” betekend. Er is echt geen beter doel dan dit.    

Ik schrijf niet om reclame te maken voor BT, maar om mezelf een plezier te doen, door je op de hoogte te stellen van mijn TV. Je informeren over mijn BT is iets heel anders dan je informeren over mijn TV. Ik heb veel over mijn BT geschreven en gesproken, maar heb nog bijna geen woord over mijn TV gezegd. Onlangs veranderde dit plotseling. Bij deze korte gelegenheid, waarin je deze woorden leest, wil ik duidelijk maken, dat TV, BT verklaart en niet andersom. TV gaat dus niet over wat er eerst was, de kip of het ei.

Ik hoop, tegen beter weten in, dat iemand met grondige kennis van zaken, eerlijk, ontevreden, maar toch gemotiveerd, de gigantische taak op zich zou willen nemen, om iedereen op de hoogte te brengen van mijn TV, want ik ben tot niks anders in staat, dan om alleen maar deze eenvoudige blog te schrijven en om te praten met hen, die staat zijn om BT met mij te ervaren. Ik heb geen enkele zin om een ​​podcast te maken, een boek te schrijven of een video te maken. Als anderen dat willen doen, prima, ik heb die ambitie niet. Ik ben er niet op tegen, maar iemand met de juiste vaardigheden en middelen om dat te doen, zal ik van harte welkom heten.  

 

Ik ben er vrij zeker van, dat mensen 

die mij al heel lang kennen, zo af 

en toe, toch mijn blog lezen, want 

ze kunnen het niet laten om toe te 

geven, dat ik niet alleen ben doorgegaan

 met waar ik het met hen in het verleden

 over had, maar ik heb helemaal echt

 mijn draai gevonden met mijn TV. 

Er is geen manier voor hen om te 

ontkennen, ik heb het over iets van 

immense waarde, waar iedereen 

voor terugdeinst.

 

Tijdens het lezen van deze woorden voel je je misschien van streek, maar ook geïntrigeerd, omdat jij het hebt laten afweten om samen met mij je BT en je TV te verkennen. Hoewel je een korte BT ervaring hebt gehad, heb je het opgegeven en in feite heb je jezelf opgegeven. Dit schrijven biedt echter een kans voor een nieuwe start, vanaf het begin. Wat ik bedoel is dat we nooit echt uit elkaar zijn gegaan, aangezien deze woorden altijd van jou zijn geweest.

 

Het begin, is waar we onze BT verlieten, nadat we er een kort moment van hadden. Op de een of andere manier zijn we erg gierig en staan ​​we onszelf niet toe om er meer van te hebben. We zijn het eigenlijk vergeten en gingen ongemerkt door met onze OT en keerden nooit meer terug naar onze BT. Op dit moment wordt deze terugkeer mogelijk gemaakt door deze woorden hardop te lezen en door je eigen stem te horen. Door naar onszelf te luisteren, terwijl we spreken, creëren we onmiddellijk een verschuiving in ons bewustzijn of perceptie. We voelen de grote opluchting dat we met succes onze OT hebben gestopt.

 

Onze BT wordt mogelijk gemaakt door deze woorden uit te spreken, die zijn geschreven om gehoord te worden, zodat we aandacht kunnen besteden aan het geluid van onze stem. In dit ene, korte, atomaire moment van luisteren naar onszelf terwijl we praten, gebeurt er van alles wat niet in OT kon gebeuren. Onze BT is eenvoudig en behoeft geen uitleg, omdat we kunnen horen en voelen, dat we onze taal belichamen. Als we BT gaan uitleggen, kunnen we de indruk niet missen, dat we hebben BT altijd gekend, maar de rug hebben toegekeerd. We zijn direct blij met onze nieuwe betrokkenheid bij onze taal, omdat het ons dingen laat zeggen, die wijs zijn, omdat ze echt waar zijn voor ons.

 

Alleen als we onze eigen waarheid verbaal, openlijk, hoorbaar, herhaaldelijk voor onszelf uitdrukken, zal het ons bevrijden. We zijn geobsedeerd door de zogenaamde waarheid, die ons was verteld door iemand anders, maar deze woorden herinneren ons eraan, dat ze niet gaan over waar we ons gewoonlijk mee bezig houden. Ze beschrijven  OT – onze gebruikelijke, verontrustende, onbewuste manier om met taal om te gaan – in algemene termen, aangezien er eigenlijk helemaal niets te beleven valt in het spreken als we onszelf niet kunnen horen.

 

BT is niemand’s geloof, zelfs niet

 ons zogenaamde geloof in onszelf,

 in wat we zelfvertrouwen noemen.

 Er is geen zelf om vertrouwen in 

te hebben, want er is alleen de 

stroom van BT, die onze TV 

aankondigt. Ons zogenaamde 

ego is uit de weg. We zijn weer 

bij elkaar. Met wij, bedoel ik niet 

alleen jij en ik, maar ook jij en 

iedereen, die jou in de steek heeft 

gelaten of wie jij in de steek hebt 

gelaten. We kunnen ons herenigen,

 aangezien we één zijn in BT en 

onze TV wacht nog steeds op 

ons om uitgedrukt te worden.

 

Deze woorden hebben grote kracht, omdat ze alles overstijgen wat we zogenaamd weten. Zoals ik al zei, wisten we dit al, maar hebben we er nooit goed op gelet, door naar onszelf te luisteren terwijl we praten. Hoewel het misschien te mooi lijkt om waar te zijn, is het waar, ook al hebben we nog steeds de oude neiging om het weer te negeren en om te weigeren het belang ervan te erkennen, omdat andere dingen voorrang hebben. Met deze heerlijke woorden stappen we uit onze conditionerings geschiedenis, ook al was het maar voor een kort moment.

               

 

Brief,

 

This writing creates a brief moment, to take a break from your dreadful Disembodied Language (DL). I have said this before, but I want to say it again, because it is such an important issue: you will talk about your Language Enlightenment (LE), once your Embodied Language (EL) continues and, we will be talking together about our LE, if our EL continues.

 

I don’t have any fantasies about EL, but I know, it is possible, one day, someone intelligent, with a lot of money, will read my work and contact me, because he or she, finally, wants to put his or her money, where his or her mouth is and do what I don’t want to do, what I am not capable of doing and what I no longer am trying to do, which is: promote my work.

 

I don’t write to advertise EL, but to please myself, by letting you know about my LE. Letting you know about my LE is something different, than informing you about my EL. I have written and spoken a lot about my EL, but haven’t said a word about my LE, but, recently, this suddenly changed. At this brief occasion, in which you read these words, I want to make it emphatically clear, that LE explains EL and not the other way around. LE is not about, which one came first, the chicken or the egg.

 

Unless someone knowledgeable, capable, honest, dissatisfied, but motivated, takes full charge of the humongous task of letting everyone know about my LE, I’m not going to do anything beyond writing this blog and – of course – talking with anyone, who is open to experience EL with me. I have no desire to make a podcast, write a book or create a video. If others want to do that, that’s fine, I’m not into it. I’m not against it, but someone with the skills and means to do that, will be very welcome to me.

 

I’m quite sure, people who have known me for a long time, occasionally still read my blog, because they can’t help admitting, I have not only carried on with what I was talking about in the past, I’ve also become better at it, to the point, there is absolutely no way for them to deny, I am addressing something of immense value, which everyone shies away from.  

 

While reading these words, you may feel upset, but also intrigued, because you have chickened out on exploring EL and LE with me. Although you have had a brief experience EL, you have given up on it and, in effect, you have given up on yourself. This writing, however, offers an opportunity for a new start, from the beginning. What I mean is, we have never really separated, as these words have always been yours.

 

The beginning, is where we left our EL, after we had a brief instance of it. Somehow, we are very miserly and don’t allow ourselves to have more of it. So, we basically forgot about it, carried on with our DL and never returned to our EL anymore. Right now, this return is made possible, by reading these words out loud and by hearing your own voice. By listening to ourselves, while we speak, we immediately create a shift in our awareness or perception. We feel the relief of having successfully, briefly, stopped our DL.  

 

Our EL is made possible by speaking these words, which were written to be listened to, so we could pay attention to the sound of our voice. In this one, brief, atomic moment of listening to ourselves while we speak, everything happens, which couldn’t take place in DL. Our EL is simple and doesn’t require any explanation, as we hear and feel, we embody our language. If we care to explain our EL, we can’t miss the impression, we’ve always known EL, but turned our backs to it. We are directly pleased with our new involvement in our language, as it makes us say things, which are wise, because they are true to us.

 

Only if we express our own truth, verbally, overtly, audibly, repeatedly, to ourselves, will it set us free. We have been obsessing about the so-called truth, told to us by someone else, but these words remind us, they are not about what we keep ourselves busy with usually. They describe DL – our common, yet troubling, negative, unconscious way of dealing with language – in broad terms, as there is nothing to be gained from speaking, if we don’t hear ourselves.

 

EL isn’t anyone’s belief, not even our so-called belief in ourselves, in what we call self-confidence. There is no self to be confident about, as there’s only the flow of EL, which announces our LE. Our so-called ego is out of the way. We are back together again. With we, I don’t only mean, you and me, but also you and everyone, you have abandoned or who has abandoned you. We can reunite, as we are one in  EL and our LE is still waiting for us to be expressed.

 

These words have great power, as they transcend everything we supposedly know. As I have stated, we already knew this, but we have never properly paid attention to it, by listening to ourselves while we speak. Although it may seem too good to be true, it is true, even if we still have the old tendency to ignore it again and refuse to acknowledge its importance, as other things take priority. With these delightful words, we step out of our conditioning history, even if it was only for one brief moment.                  

 Continue,

 

Although it has taken me a long time to achieve this, I can truly say, I am finally happy at age sixty-four. My happiness means, that because of my Embodied Language (EL), I can stay with myself and not feel so affected, by the negativity and chaos, which is going on everywhere. I don’t claim to be impervious to it, but I feel very good about how far I have come, as compared to how I have been. I used to be reactive and emotional about everything, but my EL allowed me to be more rational, in control and centered.

 

I don’t give myself away anymore and feel satisfied with who I have become, although I didn’t become what I once set out to be. I am so happy, I didn’t become a psychologist and withdrew from that horrible PhD-study. Also, I’m glad, I didn’t become some famous seminar leader or a public speaker, as I am very private and need to live, as I do today.

 

I’ve tried to be, who I was not, since I felt so restless and unfulfilled. I no longer experience this aching pain of feeling ignored and of being unimportant. Today, I recognize, that who I am, is only for me and not for anyone with Disembodied Language (DL). My way of life is now adjusted to the continuation of my own EL, because, at long last, my Language Enlightenment (LE) is represented in my daily use of language, in spite of the fact, that there are so very few people to share it with. This lack of interest for EL and, therefore, for LE, frustrated and confused me so much, because, for me, it seems so obvious, our DL results in increasingly worse circumstances.  

 

My view of what is going to happen to those, who continue with DL, isn’t anything anyone would like to hear. However, I can’t be – and I don’t want to be – nonjudgmental about what I know to be true: DL is ruining the lives of millions of people. Since I used to want to prevent that, because I had a typical Christian savior-complex, my own DL was ruining my own life too. Although I discovered EL in my early twenties, it took me until, a month ago, I began to let my EL become focused on my LE. Before, I didn’t realize how much this matters, but now it is clear, my EL wasn’t able to continue, as it wasn’t yet understood as a function of my original self.

 

The real me, my true self, my intelligence – or, for the lack of a better word, my soul – or my sense of humor are all verbalizations of my LE, described by my EL. If I didn’t feel this to be the case, I would be talking nonsense, but I’m not, like those who don’t have EL, but who have DL, pretending that what I do is right, while in fact it isn’t. In other words, I owned up to my own history of conditioning with DL, as I couldn’t deny my own inability to continue with EL, even though I was the first human being to discover this marvelous new way of dealing with language.  

 

I always felt, people should come to me, instead of me coming to them, but I couldn’t resist, as I was the only one, who knew EL and wanted others to know about it too. I never cared for anyone’s praise or approval and went through many experiences of rejection, before my EL could continue, stabilize and remain with its source: my LE.

 

All of the aforementioned was absolutely necessary for me and will be necessary for anyone, who wants to have ongoing EL and realize their LE. I find writing about this process so enjoyable, as it gives me the opportunity to elaborate – to myself – about how EL works. Surely, like everyone with DL, I too have my own tendencies to make it seem as if I already know how EL works. I’m in a strange position, because I’m the one, who discovered EL and I admit, it made me feel entitled. I felt, I should be recognized, as that is the only way in which others could have EL too.

 

Although I have given many workshops, seminars  and sessions, although I have studied and taught psychology for many years, my achievement was never publicly recognized and I have had to come to terms with the fact, this is never going to happen. I am the only one, who knows and can know my LE. It is a great privilege to have discovered EL, which – in spite of my struggles and conflicts and my endlessly going back and forth between DL and EL – afforded access to my LE. I am grateful for what is happening today, as each moment is a blessing. This may sound corny, but it is really true. If you would talk with me and get to know me, you would know, I live the life I am describing and you could live that life as well, if you, like me, became aware of what is stopping your EL. You can’t have EL, if you don’t know your DL and your EL will only be about your LE, if it continues.
