Millions,

 

There couldn’t be Embodied Language (EL) without humor. Expression of our Language Enlightenment (LE) isn’t some serious, boring, effortful matter, but  something natural, delightful and funny. Those who don’t believe this, are upset about this and it is best for them to stop reading. If you continue to read, you must be different from the millions of people, who, unknowingly, turned their back on themselves.

 

If you really want to know more about your EL and LE, you might as well start reading this text out loud, as that gives you the opportunity, to hear your own voice and realize the spaciousness of your EL, which expresses your LE. It isn’t complicated. Everything seems confusing due to Disembodied Language (DL), which has never been properly addressed and therefore, stopped. It’s funny, regardless of all wars, conflicts and arguments, we’ve never spoken clearly about our usual way of dealing with our language.

 

Basically, all we have done, to dominate, exploit, manipulate or out-compete each other, hasn’t made us happy, as it prevented us from being ourselves. Surely, there are people, who, presumably, have the moral high ground, but, like everyone else, they are out of touch with themselves and can’t laugh about their hypocrisy. Their DL keeps this charade going.

 

People believe our so-called salvation or betterment has to do with our religion, politics or education, but no one gets to the fact, that we don’t hear ourselves while we speak. There is a reason, why we hate to be confronted with the consequences of our own actions. Obviously, when the results of our behavior are bad, we don’t want to know about it and wish to blame others. And, yes, no matter how, presumably, powerful we may be, we still play the victim-card.

 

Are you one of those pathetic people, who wants to blame me or someone else for what you don’t do or are you one in – probably – a couple of million, who listens to him or herself, while he or she speaks? I laugh at this blame-game, which is always the same, as I am not part of it. You should laugh about it as well, but you fear to hurt other’s feelings and so, you don’t. This is why you experience no laughter in your life. You are always afraid that your fun upsets others. Only if you care more about yourself, than others – as a so-called egoist – will you laugh more.

 

You are participating in and cooperating with DL and this means, that you are used to lying and being lied to. However, these words are the truth and they are laughable, but that is a good, not a bad thing. When did it ever happen, that we had to feel ashamed of our laughter, as it became equivalent to disapproval and humiliation? Such sick pleasure, at the defeat of others, has nothing to do with humor. Quite to the contrary, your fake laughter, which goes along with superficial conversation, proves you misunderstand  laughter as a form of stabbing someone in the back.

 

We laugh, when there is, in reality nothing to laugh about. Don’t blame me for not providing you with your usual security-blanket of false humor. Besides, I laugh about your deceptive, insincere confidence. I don’t do this to shame you, but to lift your spirits. It would be disrespectful, if I would accept you, in the way, you, supposedly, accept yourself, as you don’t accept yourself, since you don’t have the language to do that. You only know humorless DL, but I have EL, which contains humor, to dispel your disbelief.

 

There is a difference between shaming someone or  verbally obliterating their superstitious concepts of themselves and others. In the former – that is, in our usual way of dealing with our language and our humor – we keep imprisoning each other as well as ourselves, but in the latter, we liberate ourselves and each other with our language and our humor.

 

While you talk, your laughter will take you to places, where you could never go without laughter. Without laughter, you are heavy, immobile and totally stuck, but with laughter, you are flexible, light and fluid. Most importantly, with laughter, you are really here, because you disappear. These are not statements to impress you, these are the facts about real laughter. Your old self has to go and only then will you know, that laughter wasn’t just some stupid show. Yes, you are only believable, credible and reliable, when you are laughable and what you believed about laughter was absolutely wrong and that is why you laughed so little. Only when you talk and laugh to your heart’s content, will you be truly yourself, a different person, not anything like how you were before.   

 

Real,

 

My humor is so funny, because it isn’t, like most other so-called humor, made up. It is real and you can tell, because you either absolutely love it or you vehemently hate it. If you love it, you allow it, but if you hate it, you resist it. Resisting humor is a funny thing: it is still funny, but you don’t laugh, you can’t. Those who talk with me, always laugh with me, but you only read what I write and, therefore, you must admit it, you can feel it, you resist it, because you know very well, you are full of shit. Moreover, you are upset, I don’t care about you. I don’t care about anyone, who refuses to laugh and talk with me.

 

I didn’t write this for those, who can have Embodied Language (EL) with me, but for the millions of idiots, who keep having Disembodied Language (DL) and keep pretending, their way of talking is better than, more important than, more intelligent than, more needed than and more realistic than EL. Well, I’ve got news for you: it isn’t and your negative, nasty complaining and whining doesn’t change anything. Those who talk with me, laugh with me, even when they read my writing, but you, the miserable reader, who acts, as if I am not good enough for you to talk with, must feel really pissed, wasting your time reading this. You are frustrated with anything you do and reading this text is not going to change that.

 

Just, so you know – and you should know, by now, who I am talking about – although I have written this, although you may read this, I am not talking with you and you are not hearing me. Let me be very clear, the writer is not a speaker and neither is the reader a listener. If you hear anything, you hear yourself, because you are so baffled, that you read it out loud. It is about time, you hear yourself talk and notice, how your way of dealing with your language is determined by how you sound while you speak.

 

Get real, if you don’t laugh about what I write, you don’t give a fuck. Why should I care? Since we don’t talk, this is my way, to let you know, my humor is bigger than your coward rejection, to talk with me. My rub-it-in humor is more effective than anything anyone has ever written or said, as it derives from my Language Enlightenment (LE). For real, losers, like you, who don’t laugh, are made fun of by me.

 

This is how it should be. I’m not letting anyone off the hook. To the contrary, I hold people responsible for not laughing. It is a grave offense to our human intelligence. You should be made to feel ashamed of yourself. You have not destroyed my laughter, but you have extinguished your own and you pay the price. This isn’t the first time, you are fuming with contempt. This is the deal: your disapproval is funny to me and now you know for real, this is how I feel.

 

Real humor doesn’t need anyone’s approbation. For too long, bogus humorists have placated and kissed ass, but I, figuratively, verbally, kick your ass, as that is what is needed. Your DL is pathetic and my EL is funny. Having EL, while everyone is only having DL is funny, as those with EL are the only ones, who are happy. If you read this, but you still aren’t laughing by now, there is no hope for you. Your hopelessness should make you re-direct your attention, but if my words offend, know that your laughter is on its way.

 

Those who laugh know and have always known,  those who don’t laugh, should be held accountable.  Although I am just one person, who doesn’t even speak with you, I am in the majority. Normally, it is those who don’t laugh, who are in the majority, but in this writing, my laughter has an effect, no spoken words have ever had, as these words, so to speak,  get into and stay in the reader’s head. It is easy to forget what someone has said, but you can’t forget what you have read, as you can and should reread it again. When you study my writings, the power of my laughter is very apparent, but the miserliness, the awkwardness and the stupidity of your fake laughter, makes you want the laughter I have.

 

Real laughter always makes you jealous, because you know, you don’t possess it, as you can’t possess it. As long as you still believe yourself to be some  supposedly, superior, super-human being, you can’t laugh and feel infuriated by anyone who can. You have absolutely no say in whether it is funny or not. We, who have fun, out-perform you. Yes, your lack of laughter is because you are not functioning well, you are troubled. We’ve always known that and no longer worry about your problems, which you can have all to yourself. Go and take care of your own business. We laugh and have better things to do.

 

It's great to put those, who don’t laugh – those who always have a sour face – in their place, by letting them know, we don’t care and leave them behind. Your humorless ways of DL have always been the case and we, who have EL, aren’t waiting for you. This is such a great topic to laugh about, that we, basically, laugh you away. We know our laughter hurts and it should, because there is no other way to crack you up. We, who have EL, feel so good together, so supported, so united, so confident, as our laughter isn’t short-lived, but it keeps on going.  

 

We, who have the ability to laugh about ourselves, hate those who demand jokes, as their superficiality has always been the enemy of real humor. We don’t fear the confrontation with seriousness, as we win every time. We don’t suffer your depression, your  confusion, your fear, your distraction, your struggle  and your bad judgement, as our EL is the real deal, which keeps us focused on our own happiness. You are the one, who must deal with the consequences of your actions, but we have our own great results.

 

You wish, you could be like us, but you can’t, in your current state. You better get your act together, as there will not be anything for you to laugh about, as long as you keep declining to take responsibility for your own misery. We, on the other hand, have moved on from you, a long time ago. You are on your own, as we are no longer trying to make you laugh. Real laughter has always been a matter of us versus them. It is often stated, these days, that the multiple forms of so-called group-think are bad, as they stop us from acting like real individuals, but this doesn’t apply to real humor. When we have EL and enjoy laughter, we will experience real oneness.             

 

That,

 

Now that I have recognized that my Language Enlightenment (LE) could only be expressed by my ongoing Embodied Language (EL), my history with Disembodied Language (DL) recedes further and further into the background. Yesterday, I briefly spoke with someone, who noticed my accent and asked where I was from. I told him, I immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands in 1999. He  asked, if I still had family in Holland and if had been back and I said, I never felt the urge, as my life is happening here. He then spoke of his own family with whom he had disconnected, after his mother had died and he found out, he had two half-sisters from other men, than his long-ago deceased father. He had tried to stay in touch, but, apparently, there was no real contact. He let me know, it is okay to go our own way and not be worried about the family we grew up in. It was interesting, as he seemed to tell me this, to be able to say it to himself. I could hear, he was getting a little emotional, but he had said it correctly. We shared a genuine moment.

 

Whenever we disclose our authentic experience, we dissolve. The experience, whatever it may be, is what it is. There’s no one trying to be better than the other, trying to compete, by, presumably, being the owner or the cause of a more important, better experience. Thus, during EL, nobody is bragging, pretending, manipulating, hiding or rejecting. Of course, we have all experienced such instances of EL, but we never continued with it, as our ability to experience these precious moments, has always depended on the absence of the experiencer.

 

When we honestly communicate our experience, the experiencer dissolves in experiencing the expression of his or her experience. However, this is incorrect, as there really wasn’t any experiencer, in the first place. There never was an experiencer, as there was always only our experience, but our DL wouldn’t let us see it that way. Only with ongoing EL do we get clear on that. The continuation of our EL, which – when we begin to discover the difference between DL and EL – seems like an impossible task, is enhanced by our persistent attention for the fact, that there truly is no one inside of us, separate from our experience, who is having the experience. If one can stay with that, one experiences one’s LE, that is, one’s EL continues without any sense of identity.

 

Your EL happens by itself, as there is nobody, who is doing it. Whatever you do happens by itself, without someone, who does it. Thus, you speak, but there’s no speaker, you write, but there’s no writer, you walk, but there’s no walker or you sleep, but there’s no sleeper. This reality is only expressed by EL. You see, but there’s no seer, you understand, but there’s no one who understands, as there is no memory in the seeing or the understanding. Stated differently, you see everything afresh and this newness cannot be expressed by your DL, as in DL, you speak, see or understand from your history of conditioning. In EL, by contrast, you are free, you have temporarily stopped your history of conditioning, as you have stopped your DL. EL and DL are mutually exclusive, they never happen together. Initially, inevitably and annoyingly, you will still go back and forth between DL and EL, but eventually, your EL will continue.

 

After you have acknowledged, your conditioning history pulls you back into DL, you’ll notice, your increased awareness makes you want to stop your DL and engage in EL. Moreover, you realize, you are free from yourself in EL, for as long as you are able to stop your DL. And, as stated, you are, of course, not stopping your DL, nor were you having EL, as these fluctuations in your behavior happen because they could happen. With DL, there will always be a forceful, effortful unnaturalness in your behavior, which repeats and stays the same, as you don’t and can’t allow change to occur, but in EL, your behavior is fluid, as you know, there is no one, who behaves.

 

Only your EL can reveal the nature of your DL. There is, however, nobody to whom anything is revealed, as this is simply our common, incorrect, problematic way of talking about stuff. Although during EL, you will feel liberated from the experiencer, who falsely claimed your experience, this absence is continually overtaken by your DL, in which you imagine, you  return, as the experiencer of your experience and, therefore, you feel worried, stressed, agitated or confused again. Going back and forth, you’ll notice you are unconscious in DL, but conscious in EL.

 

The words you use are still the same, but you use your words differently in EL. In EL, you still say: I see, I taste or I remember, but there is no one who sees, there is no one who tastes, there is no entity, who remembers, as there is only seeing, tasting and remembering the truth, which was hidden in your language for so long. When we have EL together, we all agree, our profound understanding is possible, as  there is no you, who speaks, nor a me, who listens. As our experience is finally correctly expressed by our EL – even when it is occasionally still necessarily the experience of our history with DL – we feel that our body changes or, as we usually say, we let go of our identification with our experience, which is, of course, our identification with our body. We attain our LE, by verbally staying with the scientific fact that there is no behavior-controlling agent inside.       

 

Pattern,

 

When you listen to the sound of your voice, while you speak, you begin to recognize the two patterns of language, which have never before been clear to you. Surely, because of your Embodied Language (EL), you can finally acknowledge and let go of your Disembodied Language (DL). Due to conditioning, you are more prone to engage in the pattern of your DL than EL, but, strangely, once you engage in EL, you find, EL is actually more familiar to you than DL.

 

We can say, experience and understand something new in EL, as we have brought ourselves into the situation in which this could occur. We needed our language to create this situation, but DL never made that situation possible. Unless we acquire a different pattern of language, we never say, experience and understand anything new. With DL, we repeated the same old negative pattern over and over again, without even realizing it. With EL, on the other hand, we feel rejuvenated and say or write things, which we have never said or written before.  

 

Are your going to do it or not? Oddly, when you do it and engage in EL, you will realize, there’s no you – inside of you – who does anything. In other words, you are there, yet there is no you. This effortless dropping away of duality is the indication, you have stopped your DL and are now able to engage in EL. You are there, but there’s no you, because your EL provides a unified experience of everything at once. This wholeness is completely different from the fragmentation, which characterizes your usual DL.

 

As you speak with yourself and experience your own resonant voice, you know, nothing is separating you from your experience and this incredible aliveness, is captured and continued by your language. You feel like an eagle soaring through the sky. The sound of your voice is your freedom and you laugh at how you and everybody could be so stupid, to believe, that there was someone – inside your body – who was presumably having the experience. It was all a big mistake, but there was a reason, why you and so many others kept making this mistake, although you forgot your identity – which turned out to be merely a pattern of language – every night in your sleep.

 

While everyday experience contradicts this, our DL demands, we believe in our so-called ego. Although we don’t have an inner behavior-regulating self, we always talk in such a way as if we do and, therefore, we are expected and assumed to have one. It would be considered weird to say: there is no me, who has an experience. Although, we have all felt, there is no self, we keep fantasizing and fabricating one, even if it means, we are miserable, frustrated, confused or twisted. Can you imagine that you say: there is no one, who is feeling sad, lonely, angry or tormented?

 

The big taboo of DL is: there can’t be an experience without an experiencer. In DL, you feel the constant, impossible, social pressure and obligation, that you are the one, who is experiencing everything your experience, but this person doesn’t exist, it is just a fallacy created and maintained by our common DL. There is only your experience, but there’s no you, as you have dissolved in experiencing your EL. There couldn’t be any other way to solve this maddening, language-riddle of separation, which has been our obsession ever since we as humans became verbal.

 

We have never deliberately, repeatedly, verbally, consciously and skillfully debunked the myth or the fake news of our duality, as we haven’t stopped our DL. In EL, it is obvious to us, we have been endlessly torn between good and evil, right or wrong or life and death. In just one breath, we can solve all our so-called psychological dilemmas, about making the right choice and doing the right thing. You know, in EL, for sure, you engage in EL, as your DL has been stopped and you feel an absolute sense of trust or faith, your behavior will have beneficial outcomes.

 

In EL, you feel utterly relieved from the imprisoning idea of having to choose what you do. You don’t choose to sleep, when you are tired, you don’t choose to eat, when you are hungry and, you don’t choose to write about your EL, when you express your Language Enlightenment (LE). It all happens by itself. Even when, due to stress or some old habit, you didn’t have sufficient sleep to feel rested, even when you ate or drank too much – as you tried to reward yourself with something that wasn’t good for you, because you had not yet discovered only your EL could fulfill you – it all just happened by itself. Yes, DL happened and stopped by itself, so you could have EL and then, your LE was revealed by your EL. Your peace and your happiness are bound to happen, when you begin to avoid the unnatural pattern of your DL and go with the flow of your EL. Everything fits in EL, as it is the expression of nature.                       

 

Motivation,

 

Hardly anyone laughs, because, apparently, the motivation is lacking. The reason for this is, that laughter is generally understood just to be another group-event. Presumably, if we don’t all laugh about something – together – it wasn’t really funny. Real  laughter, however, isn’t determined by consensus. As a matter of fact, those who laugh, that is, those who can laugh, always do so, because they don’t conform to what is expected. To laugh, is to be free.

 

Surely, this whole issue of what we call motivation is ridiculous. We don’t laugh, because there are forces acting within us, which initiate our behavior. There is no such a thing, as an inner self, which decides or regulates our behavior. Your laughter isn’t caused by an inner social stimulus. Regardless of what the cause of behavior may be, it is always inextricably having to do with how we talk about it, and thus, it is a matter of how we deal with our language.

 

Motivation comes from Latin, motivus, which means moving. However, in our common, unconscious way of using language – in Disembodied Language (DL) – we don’t move at all, as we are hopelessly stuck, with our heads up our own or someone else’s ass. Only if we become aware of the sound of our voice, while we speak, are we, quite literally, moved again.  In other words, our motivation for a healthy, happy, peaceful way of life is absent, as long as we don’t listen to ourselves while we speak. Thus, Embodied Language (EL) is the language of our motivation.  

 

Our wrong notion about laughter – which derives from our involvement in DL – goes against anyone being able to have fun on their own. DL smothers not only our individual ability to laugh at ourselves, but it also makes us less and less motivated. This is  the paradox of life: we dutifully, but, unconsciously, do what we do and have to do, but we aren’t really motivated, as our DL obfuscates what is going on. With me, this nonsense ends, as I can laugh alone.

 

I have great fun – without anyone else – because I am enlightened. More precisely, my humor derives from my Language Enlightenment (LE), which is the joy of being the master of one’s own language. Of course, I could say, you simply don’t get my kind of humor, but that wouldn’t be correct, as you know damn well what I’m talking about. You are jealous, I’m having fun, while you aren’t, because I know how to have fun and you don’t. You would like to shut me up, because I laugh at you, but you can’t laugh about yourself, while I can. Besides, what you consider to be humor, isn’t anything I’m even able to produce, because I don’t need you to have fun. To the contrary, I’m fine by myself, but you always need someone else to facilitate your so-called humor, which, in my opinion, is merely a hype, a belief, an assumption of having some fun.  

 

My go-it-alone approach – to stand-up-comedy – is the real deal, because I am true to how I feel. In other words, I am in touch with my own, but also with your emotions. By the way, emotion comes from Latin, emotus, past particle of emovere, to move away or movere, to move. It may be quite a jump, to get into your EL, but you’ll feel a lot better and you’ll be surprised, how it motivates you to do what is truly beneficial: to laugh. Although you don’t know this, DL always makes you feel terrible and it also makes other people feel horrible as well. It is so good, to deliberately move away from anyone’s DL, so you can move on to better things, to your EL.

 

I am not going to stand here, pretending I’m having fun, that’s not how I roll. Why is it, you can’t stand,  I don’t pretend? You should praise me, as you are too much of a coward, to do what I do. I get it, why you hate my humor, because it reveals how phony you are. Since my attempts at trying to be like you have always failed, I laugh about myself and I also laugh about you, trying to be someone you are not. I find it funny. You could also laugh with me, if you gave yourself the chance to laugh about yourself.

 

Laughing at yourself isn’t as bad as it sounds. You are incapable of laughing about yourself, for the same reason, everyone else is incapable of having fun. All of you are in the same predicament. Anyone who laughs about him or herself, doesn’t act, as if he or she is part of some group. Don’t you forget, that historically or, perhaps, I should say, hysterically or hilariously, those who laugh alone, have always been declared insane, by those who can’t laugh. My humor is about coming to terms with that tragedy.  

 

The thing with humor-as-you-know-and-expect-it, is that it is too noisy, to allow you to get in touch with yourself. The screaming, cussing and restlessness of how – according to your DL – humor is supposed to be, is a big smoke-screen, which prevents you from recognizing, that you can’t laugh about yourself. Like preaching to the choir, it is a form of ass-kissing, to make you feel at ease about being a tight-ass, but you never feel at ease, as you are only getting more angry, as long as you don’t laugh about yourself.

 

To summarize your dreadful situation: all your ideas about humor do not only prevent you from laughing about yourself, it also de-motivates you and doesn’t allow you to have any peace of mind. DL makes you jump on the band-wagon of what is fashionable, but you keep falling off, because you are pushed off, by those, who claim to be funny. They may give you the impression of having a good time, but they are never the funny happy-go-lucky people they appear to be, as they will stop you from feeling, who you are, so that they can keep getting all your attention.

 

The act of the stand-up-comedian – to make us all laugh together – depends on the audience’s level of self-denial. Have another drink, smoke some more pot, pop a different color pill or use more drugs, so you can claim, you have laughed your ass off, but the miserable reality of your DL always comes back to haunt you. I know, my talent, skill, personality and intelligence, makes you laugh against your will. I can’t help it, but I’m funny in that specific manner, because I happen to know what it is like to be like you and that is why I seem to get under your skin.

 

Cure,

 

Those who are famous for making others laugh, don’t have the ability to do what I do. I don’t make you laugh about me, but about yourself. I cure you from your religious belief in having to laugh about others. My approach works, as the fact that you don’t laugh about what I say, indicates you’re beginning to pay attention to yourself.

 

You only laugh about yourself, if you pay sufficient attention to yourself, to be able to do so. Getting annoyed with me doesn’t work, so get over it. Be curious about how paying attention to yourself works. Stop being distracted, the moment you don’t like it, because you need all the energy for your laughter. It isn’t me, who demands your attention with some stupid joke or word-game, but you, who knew, you haven’t been true to yourself, for such a long time. The only way to turn the verbal tide, is to ride the waves of your Embodied Language (EL).

I don’t know your history, but I know one thing for sure: you have been conditioned, just like me, by Disembodied Language (DL), which means, your way of dealing with language never allowed you to pay attention to yourself and be conscious about yourself. I don’t speak or sound like you and you can hear, in me, what you keep missing. I’m not going to tell you anymore, in great detail, what your DL or EL is, as you have to figure that out yourself. I stay with what I find funny, as that will do the trick of leaving you to yourself. I’m not busy with you and you know it. My fun is private property. You aren’t welcome on my verbal, fertile, fantastic land. I don’t tolerate, like you, anyone, who stress passes  my domain.

 

I throw you out with my words, which protect my joy and intelligence. My humor isn’t like yours, a smoke-screen, but mine is an impenetrable wall. Your humor doesn’t have any substance, but mine is made of bricks and you can keep running into it with your expectation, the results will be the same. My fortification of my Language Enlightenment (LE) with my EL, is solid as a rock. Your imprisonment in your shallow, miserly, shameful humor is revealed by me as the self-torture it really is. Don’t blame me for your ordeal, as you bought into it, hook, line and sinker. You can’t catch my humor, which belongs to me. The best you can do, is to admire me for having achieved what you have failed to accomplish. You are under-performing. I don’t need your admiration, but this is as close as you can get to being humble.

 

I know very well what I’m talking about. I wouldn’t call my humor sacred, as to me, it is normal, nothing special. For me, there’s nothing to laugh about what you laugh about and I don’t care about any of the so-called sacred cows of your cultures. My humor stands alone, as I should. It’s enough for me, to find myself funny. To acquire your own sense of humor, is more important than anything else you’ve tried to pursue. Not me, but all these things, which, presumably, were more important, distracted you from laughing. I’m reminding you, that you can still laugh, just like that, in spite of everything that was getting in the way. I’m not in your way and accusing me of not being funny, is inevitable, but it will pass.

 

I don’t have to be funny for you. My ability to admit that is to your advantage. If I would pretend, I’m funny so well that you believed me, that would be a real problem. I’m not making this shit up, it is the truth, which I’m laughing about and you keep chickening out of what I’m talking about. As I was saying, there’s much more to laugh about than you’ve ever been able to imagine, however, you only gain access to that abundance, by saying what you want to say and are able to say, to yourself.

 

You don’t say to yourself what is funny, because you believe you can’t or shouldn’t say it, but you can and you should for your own good. You believe you don’t want to say what is funny to you, because you fear, you aren’t able to say it. If I can say, so can you and if I can overcome my fear, so can you. I cannot do it for you, that’s why I do what I do. Have some self-respect and try to laugh out loud at yourself, as that is what real self-respect is about. If you do that,  you will come to know, what it is like to go with the verbal flow, which isn’t some phony show, but going where only you can go. Your verbal laughter is your LE and the cure for your miserable history with DL.     

  

  

 

 

 

Already,

 

It doesn’t matter, you have already read or heard what I have written or said. It will help you, to hear or read me repeatedly talk about the same thing, as that will make clear to you, what I say is true. I am now particularly referring to what I say about humor, as it is the gateway, through which you can reach your Nirvana. This word comes from Sanskrit and it literally means, blow out, as in an oil-lamp.

 

If my consciousness was a flame – I am just making this up – it got blown out by my Embodied Language (EL) and, against all odds, I attained my version of Nirvana, which I call Language Enlightenment (LE). When I first noticed my enlightenment, around age 20, I couldn’t believe, that it had already happened, because I was still having so many problems and conflicts. What I didn’t know back then was, I didn’t have the proper way to deal with my language, to express my experience. I was a complete laughing stock, as my Disembodied Language (DL) invalidated everything I said. Paradoxically, my EL let me know, again and again, I already was capable of it, even though, I habitually engaged in DL again and again.

 

Neither Judeo-Christian tradition, nor any Indian religion (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism or Sikhism) mention humor as a sure path to self-realization. If there was any mention at all about laughter, it was so boring, that nobody wanted to know about it. It is a point of discussion, if cancel culture or politics is the reason, we have lost our sense of humor, but, in my opinion, our religions have always destroyed it. While many people are no longer religious, they still experience the hang-over from this indoctrination.

 

Enlightenment can only become a laughing-topic, if you are reassured, that your laughter isn’t going to take away your awareness about yourself. You know very well, you got lost, you fell of the wagon or you got carried away by what you believed to be humor or entertainment, but, you also have already felt and experienced, that real humor makes you find yourself, rather than lose yourself. Since real humor was never repeatedly experienced and confirmed, you’ve always struggled with that you felt in your gut, real humor is always in favor of you – while phony humor is your enemy – even if you didn’t understand how it worked. Of course, it always worked fine, without your dissociative approval, as it only needed your conscious agreement. However,  unconsciously, you demanded more of the same, lame, distracting, but unambiguous humor, which leaves you alone, so you can sleep and dream about having imaginary fun. The inescapable, medicinal, irritating humor, I have verbalized, blows you out of the water – forget about this blowing-out-the-flame nonsense – and knocks you off your socks.

 

The mysterious, gentle power of laughter manifests itself, as words still have meaning, even though we are laughing. Fake-humor, you are used to, which makes language a moot point, is dead, as far as I am concerned. You cannot avoid admitting, what I say matters, because you matter. My words matter because you are reading or hearing them. What you hear or read or understand, isn’t me, but you, so the joke is entirely on you. You should be grateful to me, as nobody else does what I do. They try to do it, but they fail, as they don’t know, how to have fun with themselves. What you read, hear or understand about my humor, is: I let you be alone with yourself.

 

In the name of having fun – supposedly, together with others – we keep avoiding our aloneness. It has never been said, but being alone is the essence of laughter and genuine joy. If I would keep busy trying to make you laugh – as other comedians obviously do – I would interfere with your aloneness and stop you from having fun. You need to be left alone, to have your own expression, which, in one aspect, is very different from me, but the same, in another. It is totally different, in that your laughter is always triggered by specific words and combinations of words, which belong to your own unique verbal repertoire, but it is the same, in that we both laugh about ourselves, and, therefore, with each other.

 

I believe, the issue of laughing with ourselves is always down-played and brushed under the carpet, because it dismantles the fake-humor and separates it from real humor. It is absolutely worth sacrificing a few phony laughs for some real laughter. Once you get going, you can’t stop, as you notice, you get rid of your own shit-show and drama. Unless it is funny to you, it isn’t funny, but how are you going to be able to determine if it is funny, if you don’t notice,  others have always told you what was, presumably, funny? I don’t do that. It is good, you don’t find me funny, because I know and love my own humor. I like to write like this, to amuse myself. It may seem, as if I do a one-man show, for an audience of one, but there are not two of me, there is no audience.  

 

Of course, you don’t need to decide what is funny for you, as you know it already. Surely, you need to spend enough time with yourself, to let yourself know, you know it already and you can have a laugh with yourself. Although you live an isolated, lonely, disconnected life, you fear being alone, as it has never occurred to you, that you can – without any practice – laugh about everything, instead of worrying or feeling upset. You already know this, but this writing reassures you, that it is really true. Likewise, you already knew about the difference between DL and EL, but – like me, in the past – you didn’t have the words to describe it. Indeed, if you listen to the sound of your voice, while you speak, you find out, that you already have the words, to express your happiness, your humor and your LE.
