Inaudible,
Although
everyone is already enlightened, due to our Disembodied Language (DL), it is
inaudible. We can’t hear our Language Enlightenment (LE), as we don’t produce
the right sound. This is not about an organic hearing defect, but a psychological
defense mechanism, which prevents us from producing our natural voice. It sounds
as bizarre as it is, but we can’t hear, we are enlightened with DL, our usual
way of talking, in which we don’t want to listen to the fake-tone of our own voice,
while we speak. We need to have Embodied Language (EL), a new way of talking, to
hear, who we are and have always been.
Make no
mistake, you always pretend to sound like this or like that and you are so good
at sounding casual, interested, happy, in control, at ease, cooperative and
certain – and everyone else is also so used to it – that this is accepted as
normal. It is not the same, to be truly friendly, genuine, relaxed, confident, interested,
intelligent or to merely sound like it. The former sounds great and the latter
sounds terrible, but we don’t hear it, because we are used to it. The problem of
listening, is not about listening to others, but about listening to ourselves.
When you
speak, you are simultaneously a speaker as well as a listener. Of course, there
is no an inner entity, a speaker, who regulates how or when you speak or
someone, supposedly, deep inside of you, who, presumably, is listening, to hear
the so-called truth of the matter. In DL, you, unconsciously, and, therefore, carelessly,
speak about the speaker or the listener, as you turn a verb or a process (speaking
or listening) into a thing (the speaker or the listener).
In DL, we
believe, pretend or try, in vain, to agree, someone is always more important than
the other. Consequently, the vast majority of people would interpret the word
listening, as listening to the someone else, that is, listening means paying
attention to the speaker, who is not the listener. Listening is almost never
understood or seldom referred to as listening to ourselves. As stated, there is
no speaker, inside anyone, who does the speaking and there is no listener, inside
anyone, who does the listening. We all, unknowingly, and, constantly, refer to
these imaginary entities, because we have been conditioned to accept
hierarchical speech, DL.
Not
surprisingly, in DL, which is our usual way of talking, only a few people do
all the speaking, of course, by pretending to represent others. However, the fact
is, the admired, extra-ordinary, famous, powerful, superior, educated speakers,
always dominate, manipulate, exploit and coerce, the subservient, masochistic, inferior,
humble listeners. Regardless of all the bla-bla about equity, diversity, democracy
and freedom, millions of people live in the illusion of DL and seem to have no
other choice than to either oppress others or to be oppressed.
In DL,
speakers compete with each other, to get the audience’s attention. Only those,
who are the most vicious and conniving come out on top. Since I know the
difference between DL and EL, I know that the attention which is received in DL
is not the attention I want. It is harmful to me, as it distracts me from
myself. Only in EL can I be myself and remain myself. I listen to myself, while I speak and I have no
doubt about it, that the so-called speaker and so-called listener are one. Thus,
when I speak out loud, alone with myself, it is not my speaking, but my
listening to myself, which is the most important and because I listen, I can understand
and act on everything I say.
Another way
of describing the aforementioned, is that in EL, the so-called listener gets the
attention from the audience, who is the so-called speaker. If you talk with
yourself about listening to yourself, you will find, your tone of voice changes,
because you weren’t listening to yourself, as you have never deliberately talked
with yourself, about listening to yourself. Also famous method-actors, politicians,
scientists, psychologists, therapists or our so-called spiritual leaders engage
only in DL, as they don’t listen to themselves. It is not the blind leading the
blind, but the psychologically-deaf-to-themselves,
who lead the psychologically-deaf-to-themselves.
After you
have stopped your DL, you will hear your LE with your EL. Like me, you will act
on what you say to yourself and achieve continuously positive results. These results,
however, are not what you had in mind, as there is no mind. By listening to
yourself while you speak, the notion of being a speaker or a listener dissolves.
Likewise, the notion of having a mind and thoughts becomes irrelevant to you,
as you master your own language. Your LE is something so simple and beautiful,
but easy to miss. You don’t hear it, you can’t hear it, as long as your speaking-sound
isn’t adjusted to who you are, when you are totally at ease. Take some time, to
speak with yourself, to calm yourself down, so that you can hear and understand
your LE, with your EL.
