Awake,

 

I feel happy, I have Embodied Language (EL), while everyone is so miserable, distrustful and frustrated,  because they can only have Disembodied Language (DL). I am awake and free, but everyone is asleep, confused and burdened. I live such a wonderful life and have everything I need. My language carries me into newness, health and energy. It really is such a great joy, to be awake and to simply be alive. I love my job, which allows me be very active, physically, so I can use my energy productively during the day.

 

One has to be awake, to be able to recognize, why DL – our usual way of talking – isn’t working. Unless one continues to have EL, it will never become clear why one, unknowingly, continues to be trapped by DL. People fight and argue and make all sorts of claims, but they never deliberately, skillfully and effortlessly stop their own DL and, therefore, they cannot afford to have any EL. Although, of course, they have a tiny little bit of EL, it just isn’t enough to remain awake.

 

Being awake and being asleep is a real thing, but it is also a metaphor. If one doesn’t have good sleep, one will have problems functioning during the day, but if one remains unconscious about how one uses one’s own language, one gets carried away, one drifts off into la-la-land and starts imagining things. I am not fantasizing about EL, but I am experiencing and relaxing in, what it is like to have it. I don’t write, every day, on my blog, about my EL, because I can’t have EL with you, because I can. And, I no longer feel – as I used to – abandoned by those, who don’t want to have EL with me, because in reality, I have abandoned them, as I don’t like to participate in DL.

 

I can be as attention-grabbing as anyone else, who engages in DL, but the attention I get with DL, is not the attention I want. Being awake means, I know the great difference between DL and EL. Anyone, who is awake, will do what they can, to stop their own DL, since it always has devastating consequences. You create more and more problems, with your DL. As you get older, it becomes more and more difficult,  to catch up with the fact that your life is a big mess. You will be awake, when you have some EL – even if it is only for short time – and you will witness all of mankind’s tragedy and drama. With DL, you cry and weep, you curse and complain, but DL isn’t about you, it is about the suffering of every human being.

 

Although Buddhists like to talk a lot about suffering in order to make it seem, as if they know more about it than others, who don’t follow their “ten thousand things”, the Dalai Lama him-self doesn’t know anything about EL and, therefore, he mainly engages, like everyone else, in DL. Instead of paying attention, to how they experience their own sound, while they speak, superstitious Buddhists – like any other religionists – waste their lives on studying the self, which is a verbal construct. The “ten thousand things”, in Buddhist parlance, refer to everything or all the so-called “dharmas”, which distract us from our enlightenment and from being awake. However, there is only DL which keeps us asleep. Also, none of the celebrity therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, professors, philosophers, writers, speakers, pundits, comedians and actors have a clue about EL, but they can be quite good at pretending to have EL, as they know how to exploit DL for their own advantage.

 

I am awake and don’t mind, that I am, apparently, the only one, who can say or write, what I say and write. Although I couldn’t believe it myself, it is true, I have, somehow, woken up and I am still surprised every day, it could happen, to someone as troubled as me. My EL has woken me up and shown me, that my Language Enlightenment (LE) – which is based on my speaking, listening, writing and reading – is the ultimate cure for all the spiritual dogma, that I myself was so unhappily involved in for so many years. I now go to sleep for another hour and then I will go to work. I feel satisfied to have written this.                 

 

Stillness,

 

Today, as I was driving to my work, I noticed a sense of stillness, I had not felt before. I drove the familiar route and I turned the corner. I had to stop for the red light. I got on the freeway and then, I arrived at my job. My beautiful experience continued and now that I have returned home from work, I realize, it remained with me, the whole day. I have the feeling it will never go away again. Everything is in place.

 

We will come to our stillness in one way and in one way only, namely, with our Embodied Language (EL). Stillness is the absence of language and yet only our EL will make us realize, silence only happens, if we are not speaking, listening, writing or reading. These four behaviors make language possible and without these four behaviors language doesn’t exist. Thus, our stillness happens, if we stop talking, listening, writing or reading. During Disembodied Language (DL) – which is our usual way of dealing with our language – we can never be still, as we keep being involved with speaking, listening, writing or reading. We talk about what is, presumably, on our mind or about what we, supposedly, are thinking, but the reality is, that we only talk, listen, write or read.

 

There is no such a thing as a mind, let alone, a quiet mind, as there is only talking, listening, writing and reading. Since this so-called mind or thought is only believed to be there, due to the particular way in which we speak, listen, write or read, there is no such a process as transcending our mind. However, it is, of course, possible to engage in another way of speaking, listening, writing and reading. In other words, we can definitely engage in EL instead of DL.

 

You cannot create or practice stillness, which only happens if you have been able to use your language correctly. Stated differently, your unrest, turmoil and noise, are created by our wrong, but common, use of our language. In DL, there is no serenity, tranquility or restfulness, because you assume, that speaking with and listening to others, is more important than speaking with and listening to yourself. During EL, we speak with and listen to ourselves, in the same manner, as we speak with and listen to each other. However, during DL, we speak with and listen to ourselves very differently from how we speak with and listen to each other. 

 

There is no doubt about it: EL is the correct way of using our language, as it always results in stillness. Moreover, during EL, you speak from your stillness and when you are done speaking, your stillness is deepened and enriched. Unlike DL, the more you say, in EL, the more blissful you will be. So, although you cannot produce silence – which, by the way, is an illusion perpetuated by your DL – you can and  should stop your automatic, energy-draining DL.

 

Stillness cannot be cultivated and religious morons who continue to claim to do so, always make others walk on egg-shells. Moreover, their nasty, dumb, judgmental, demanding, superficial, manipulative, holier-than-thou behavior, is against language, as any attention to their language, would prove how phony, coercive and passive-aggressive they are. I have, because I grew up in a Catholic family, always hated the so-called silence of those, who others believed to be spiritual. I am reminded of the last words of a priest of the church, where we used to go. As a teen-ager, I secretively smoked some pot and was allowed to play my stoned melodies in the empty church. The old priest occasionally sat in the back and listened to my music. On his deathbed, he was in the hospital, on a breathing-machine and the pipes made an eerie, wheezing sound. He said in an almost inaudible fashion: now I too play the flute.

 

Stillness has no intentionality, in fact, it is the total absence of having any purpose. When people talk about this so-called quality of their so-called mental states (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, desires, hopes), they always speak about it – yes, they always say it, because their so-called thoughts, beliefs, desires or hopes, simply don’t exist without saying them – and what is said to go on in their head, is supposedly deliberately directed toward some object or state of affairs. They express this total hogwash, because they inevitably experience the predictable negative outcomes of their unconscious involvement in DL, which they don’t know how to stop. Stopping DL has nothing to do with imaginary thoughts, beliefs, desires or hopes, which were created by your DL.  

 

There can be and there will be only stillness, once you courageously cut through all the bullshit and stop your own DL, so that you can finally begin to have some EL. DL and EL are mutually exclusive and your EL will show you, that this is an absolute fact. When EL is going on, DL has been stopped, but once DL takes over again – which, because of your history of conditioning, is to be expected – there can be no EL. Similarly, EL always goes hand in hand with your stillness, sensitivity and gracefulness, but shit hits the fan, everything that can go wrong will go wrong and your worst fears will come through, in your DL.

 

We have all heard about, talked about or read about or written about, the myth of the so-called stillness, that can be felt, while the chaos swirls around us. Yet, there is, of course, no stillness in the center of the tornado, in the eye of the storm, as this is – like our thoughts or our so-called mind – merely a figure of speech. However, it derives from DL, not EL. It is definitely not peaceful inside a tornado. As a matter of fact, it is a beautiful metaphor for what happens, when we deal with language incorrectly. This vortex is a very dangerous, swirling, sucking column of air that rotates around a central axis, which lifts heavy objects and debris off the ground and hurls them through the air with incredible speed and force.

 

Another ridiculous story, we keep telling ourselves because of our conditioning with DL, is that stillness would do something to us. Stillness is said to give us time and space and we believe it replenishes us. Of course, we are not still, we are never still and that is why, we say, we should be still, more often, so we can sooth our nervous system, have an anti-stress experience, a space to self-reflect or to imagine that we can even hear our own thoughts. None of these meditation methods – to create stillness – work, as the real issue, our almost permanent involvement in DL, remains unaddressed. The real stillness of EL, is simply too much for most people, that is why the thousands of individuals, who, by now – by reading my blog or by having, somewhere in the past, talked with me – have taken note of it, have left it again.

 

Your stillness has to do with how you deal with your language and the absence of stillness shows, your language is against it. However, EL is not against stillness, but DL is against stillness. Therefore, stillness has nothing to do with the presence or absence of stimuli that affect you. The so-called external environment, which affects your internal environment, is a familiar verbal construct, which prevents you from paying attention to how you talk and use your language in the wrong way. Stillness is about using your language in the correct way. It may sound unbelievable and you must verify, if it is true, but there is only bliss during EL. It is so self-evident,  in EL, you speak with the sound of your wellbeing. This is how this writing about EL and my Language Enlightenment (LE) comes about. Stillness is natural.                       

 

Master,

 

Psychology has failed us, as it doesn’t refer to the  importance of the difference between Disembodied Language (DL) and Embodied Language (EL). All our so-called mental health problems, are the result of our almost permanent, unconscious involvement in DL and our inability to recognize and continue with EL. I have studied Psychology and I hold a Master of Arts and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology.

 

I express my utter disdain for Psychology, because I know very well what I am talking about. Psychology is a devious racket, an insidious hoax, a criminal swindle and a very nasty fraud. All the diagnostical criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM; latest edition; DSM-5-TR, published in March 2022) stem – like all our other written publications – from our participation in DL.

 

This writing is the only writing, that is written with an explicit emphasis on the DL-EL distinction. I am the authority on this subject, as I boldly call for the re-interpretation of what inevitably was defined by our anti-intellectual DL, in terms of my continuous, joyful, consistent and coherent EL. I have worked for many years in the disgusting mental health business and taught Psychology at Butte College. In all these years, nobody has ever come to me, to fully admit and take serious, what only I am able to address.

 

I don’t write this, because I am frustrated and want to prove I am right, but because I know, how much would be possible, if people would experience their own EL, instead of their DL. However, I don’t teach anyone about the DL-EL distinction anymore, as it is needed for people, to come to me, so that they can begin to have EL with themselves and each other. I don’t care to publish a book, to teach a course or to create a following, as each person must come to his or her own conclusions, about his or her DL and EL.

 

In this writing, I demonstrate, that you cannot learn from someone else’s knowledge and ability, but that you must learn from your own experience. The false notion, that we can or should learn from each other, is perpetuated by DL and you will have figure out by yourself, on your own, why that is true. You are not helped by any teacher, therapist, guru or friend, as only a real master will throw you back on yourself. I know there are many false masters, but I am a real one, as I achieved my Language Enlightenment (LE).

 

It is up to you, to read some more of my work or to talk with me and to humbly admit, that your DL isn’t working. I am here to only have EL with you and if you have courage to come to me, you will not regret it. However, you cannot have any EL and continue to hang on to your stupid beliefs. Moreover, it isn’t me, who decides that, but you. Your discovery of your EL shows you how conflicted, violent and sick your DL is. Your DL isn’t stopped by me, but by yourself and it is, because you understand and prefer to have EL.

 

All your compulsions, obsessions and delusions have to do with how you deal with your language. As you read these words, you must notice, you come out of your self-imposed dream of words. I don’t support your DL, but assume, you innately know about EL. It is not a matter of understanding these words, which is going to reveal your EL, but you speaking with and listening to yourself. You will speak with yourself, to have EL, as you already know, that speaking with others has only prolonged your involvement in DL.

 

You are not going to be my disciple, as I am not your master, because I am only my own master. You will not hear me speak about your destiny, but you will hear me talk about my own calling and realize, that you, so far, have been missing yours. Yes, I am my own authority and not interested in running anyone else’s business. Also, I am not answering any of your questions and you must stop yourself from asking, to know what you can only know, if you do that. I am not putting any words in your mouth, as you do that yourself already. Let these words, which are in your mouth, come out, so that you can hear what you say to yourself. Of course, there are no words in your mouth and, there is no language inside of you, but saying that – out loud – to yourself, is a different matter than fantasizing, you are thinking that and engaging in an imaginary silent, inner conversation.

 

There is no such a thing, as your spiritual journey towards your truth, as you will hear and experience it, instantly, the moment you say it. Until now, you didn’t hear it, because you didn’t say it, because you believed you couldn’t say it, but you can, if you keep listening to yourself. If you don’t hear yourself say your own truth, it is not because you are not saying it, but because you are not listening close enough to yourself. You are used to listen to others. Only in EL, can you become familiar with listening to yourself while you speak and became a master of yourself.

 

Self-control has a negative connotation, because we were coercively taught – with DL – to refrain from talking with ourselves. In DL, which is the language  you participate in every day, talking with others is considered to be more important than talking with ourselves. In DL, we never learned to self-regulate, but instead, we were taught to either dominate or obey others. To be in charge of our own language, however, that is, to skillfully engage in EL, is to gain self-control and to stop all self-defeating behaviors, which were created and maintained by our DL. This is not a matter of therapy of cognitive restructuring, but of radically stopping our own DL, so that we can finally have EL and find out what we would do, if we continued being the master of our own behavior.

 

During,

 

During Embodied Language (EL), each experience is verbalized and, thus, whatever asks our attention, is getting our attention. We are not trying to change anything about our experience, as we express what happens in the moment. It is because of this, that our experience and our language, that describes this experience, dissolve. When we have EL, nothing is left behind, only a sense of spaciousness prevails. I call that my Language Enlightenment (LE), as I have arrived at this wonderful place with how I talk. I put language before enlightenment, as it was due to my language, that the ultimate realization happened.   

 

There is a vast difference between EL and our usual way of talking. Normally, we engage in Disembodied Language (DL), in which we, unconsciously, prefer and select certain experiences. During DL, we treat  language as secondary to our favorite experiences and, as a result, we say what we have already said. Stated differently, DL is repetitive, as our language doesn’t express any new experiences. The switch from DL to EL, always means a different experience.

 

During DL, our language gets us carried away and completely disconnects us from our experience, but in EL, our language always follows our experience as closely as possible and, thus, reveals our experience in a novel way. In other words, in EL, we are able to express, what can only be expressed, if our language isn’t, supposedly, established or decided in advance. This crazy idea, that we, like actors, have to prepare and rehearse our language, is why DL is everywhere.  

 

The fact, that we mainly engage in DL, but seldom, if ever, in EL, tells us, we don’t pay attention to how we use our language. Only by listening to ourselves while we speak, do we bring attention to the fact, that our repetition can and will only be stopped, if we notice, we are mechanically repeating ourselves. Since we haven’t had any conscious, deliberate and prolonged experience of EL, we are obsessed with the supposed freedom of choice and, presumably, in having things our way. This is why we always sound demanding during our DL. However, while we want others to pay attention, to what we are saying or writing, we aren’t even listening to ourselves.  

 

During our EL – which may, initially, only last for a few seconds – we will notice, there is no effort, no struggle, no conflict, because we, verbally, express exactly, what we are capable of expressing and what we want to express. Moreover, we not only long to use our own words, to describe our experiences, in our own way, but we can consciously make our EL happen, by being alone, by talking out loud and by  listening to the sound of our voice. This soloistic approach works, as nobody knows how to have EL.

 

Once we have had EL alone, we can have EL with others, who, like us, have also explored EL on their own. This path is individual and nobody – not even me – can be the guide for how someone else’s EL is going to develop. During our EL with each other, we joyfully acknowledge and recognize all the ins and outs, which we have already become aware of by ourselves. During our EL together, everything will be falling into place, as each of us has gone through a similar process to acquire it. Talking with each other is only possible, after we have talked with ourselves.

 

The notion, that there is nothing to accomplish during EL is, as we say, mind-blowing. During DL, we were always pushing and trying to get somewhere, but during EL, we dissolve and we are fine being nowhere. This unusual situation, that there is no conflict, pressure or tension, while we are talking, allows us to be extremely attentive. It is apparent, that the intensity, liveliness and verbal focus of our attention in EL, is made possible by us, because we have started to use our language very differently.

 

You don’t know what is going to happen during EL, although, after you have had it a couple of times, you know – with ever increasing certainty – it is always beneficial to you, even though it always goes against your beliefs. Your EL is going to make you abandon everything you have acquired with DL and, since you have mostly experienced DL, you will have to leave a lot behind. In the beginning, I couldn’t believe, I would really do what my EL instructed me to do. I could never have imagined, I would leave my family behind, but I wouldn’t have been where I am today, if I hadn’t. In EL, I learned to trust myself, even though I grew up with a lot of guilt and doubt. During my first steps of speaking and listening to myself, I repeatedly said to myself: I so enjoy myself because I agree with myself, when I speak with this wonderful sound. I want to find out, what I would do, if I continue to speak with and follow this calm, happy, effortless, focused vibration. The other day, I shockingly said to myself: I am a very kind person.  

 

Illusion,

 

The common explanation of an illusion – which we give because of our almost permanent, unconscious involvement in Disembodied Language (DL) – is that our senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste) are distorted, and, therefore, our so-called mind cannot properly organize or interpret sensory stimulation. It is also due to our DL – which is the dominant way in which human beings, everywhere, deal with their  language – that in physiology, a stimulus is said to be a detectable change in the chemical structure of an organisms internal or external environment. This false explanation and this warped perception, would not occur and would not be shared, by those who are able to engage in Embodied Language (EL).  

 

What we call internal or external environment, is an illusion, which is created by our DL. When we talk about our mind and its presumed great importance, we don’t realize, we are actually speaking about how we use our language. Moreover, there is, of course, no me, who uses language. Me, is merely a word, to refer to ourselves, that is, to other words. The verbal construct, that I experience something, is the very root of so many problems, which are based on the ignorance about how our language works.

 

Me, who, presumably, uses language, is overrated, while language itself is dismissed. Certainly, there is only language and there is no me, inside of me, who does what I do. Our bombastic over-emphasis on our identity, prevents us from paying attention to the irrefutable fact that, whatever we claim to be is nothing else but language. In other words, without  language, our fabricated, imaginary, conditioned, automatic, reactive mind doesn’t exist. Our fear of being without all our verbal, attention-demanding definitions and affirmations, about who believe to be, is of course, part of or our illusion, that we think and supposedly possess, use or don’t use our mind.

 

We even keep extending our verbal nonsense into some after-life and we tell ourselves and each other about some heaven or hell, but none of this is based on what we know. Our belief – a childish story, we keep telling ourselves and each other – has to be the denial of what we know, as we can only say it, as long as we are still alive. We will all die. No one has came back from being dead. However, we know with absolute certainty, there is no language inside of us. There are no words or sentences to be found anywhere in our body. This ancient superstition is created and maintained by the way in which we talk and, subsequently, by how we use our language.

 

We are only able to comprehend the implications of what we know, if we are brave enough to say no to the coercive, punitive, violent ways in which we are told to conform to how everyone behaves and talks. Science and irrational belief have always been at odds with each other. This conflict continues to this day, in our dumb DL. Our ability to engage in EL, instead of DL, is a truly revolutionary act, as it will  determine, at last, we become individuals, instead of slaves, to how we are expected to behave as part of some group. Everything depends on this act and it is not only your future, but the future of mankind, which depends on the great change from DL to EL.

 

There is no future for our DL, as it has been exposed as a big fat lie. Similarly, beliefs that illnesses were created by evil spirits have been mostly abandoned. One day, people are going to look back at our brutal history with DL and conclude, that our intelligence has been severely impaired, if not damaged, by the way in which we used to talk. Our brains don’t work properly, if we can’t and don’t produce the sound of our wellbeing, while we speak. Stated differently, our brains are hurting, if we only express pain, fear, stress, aggression, confusion and despair. Surely, our lack of skill, to express our EL, is costing us dearly.

 

The loss of opportunity, due to our energy-draining, forced, automatic participation in DL, is incalculable. DL has ran its course and now it has to be stopped, by you, as it is mankind’s number one enemy. All problems stem from our involvement in DL. These words make a big impact, as they are not directed at anyone in particular, but they express exactly what is going on. Anyone who reads this, anyone with only the slightest integrity, must repeat and admit, that it is true, there is no language inside of us and, therefore, this entire identity-card-house, which we call our mind, is an illusion, a figure of speech.

 

Another way of talking is going to forever dissolve our false notion of being thinking human beings. It is not, I think, therefore, I am (Descartes, may he rest in peace), but I speak, therefore, I only have EL. We haven’t really spoken during DL, as we have only pretended to speak and listen. We have endlessly been imprisoned, fooled and distracted by our verbal illusions, which are going to be forgotten, once we take our first steps of EL. I have my entire life been told that I am not listening, because I listen to myself. Yes, I am only listening to those, who, like me, listen to themselves and I have had quite some problems, as I have declared, that listening to myself is more important to me, than listening to others, because I have told myself things, nobody else could have told me, and, thus, talking with myself is more important to me than talking with others or with you. In EL, we will finally talk with each other, in the same way we talk with ourselves.  

 

I am brilliant in my ability to do what I do, in spite of the pressure to do what everyone else does. I don’t regret what I have done and will continue to rejoice in my Language Enlightenment (LE), which is really my freedom, as I know, that I am not beholden to the crazy fictions everyone with DL is involved in. You should be shocked to read this, as you must stop your DL. If you don’t, your misery and conflict will destroy your life. It is already doing that. Not I or anyone else is responsible, only you. I write this, because I have not only discovered what I’m talking about, but I also live the life, which has been made possible with the continuation of EL. And, I have no illusions about how anyone is going to find out about EL. Talk with me and you will be surprised.                   

 

Without,

 

Let’s assume, you’ve never read any of my writings. This is the first time, you read what I have written. I know you are there and I want you to know, what I write is as new to me, as it is to you. My Embodied Language (EL) is always new, but your Disembodied Language (DL) is unable to accept that. Supposedly, everything has already been said or done. It is often said, there is nothing new under the sun. However, EL takes newness to a whole new level. Without EL, you are bound to live in a world of make-belief.

 

The claim on newness, originality, naturalness, fun, truth, authenticity and intelligence, is made in DL all the time, yet, it is empty talk, only pretentiousness. We fake it, until we make it. Who cares if you make it, when all you ever do is fake it? You have been sold – hook, line and sinker – on the false notion, that your usual way of talking – DL – is acceptable, necessary and inevitable, but once you find out about EL, you are stunned by the realization, that you have been betrayed by everyone, who has DL with you. You also have DL with yourself and you harm yourself constantly with your own DL and the only way to stop doing that, is to hear how horrible you sound. Yes, you sound absolutely awful with DL, but you sound so calm, relaxed and confident in EL.

 

Without DL, you are a different person, as you no longer feel stressed, fearful, confused, anxious or agitated. Moreover, you live a different life, because by stopping your DL, you realize, that how you deal with your language, determines everything you do. Only without your mechanical, but usual way of talking –  in which you aren’t even allowed to be yourself – can you begin to have some EL and feel  truly happy. Although it may take some time, to get done with your conditioning history with DL – and, realistically, you are never completely done with it – once you begin to have a few moments of EL, you have put DL in its place, as you are on your way. Life just keeps on getting better and better, as you have begun to sense your Language Enlightenment (LE).

 

Every time you will succeed by having some more EL by yourself – because you will take more and more time, to explore the expression of your LE with your EL – you will cherish and nourish the experience of being without language. Your EL is like pure magic, because you speak, but without words, you hear, but without words, you write, but without words and you read, but without words. How can this be?

 

Each instance of EL – initially, there are only a few, but they will become more and more, as you keep on exploring, what it is like, to listen to yourself, while you speak, out loud, alone, with yourself, about your own experiences – is a dismantling, a dissolvement, a transcendence of what you have called your thinking or your mind. Only without DL, can and will you start to have delightful EL, in which your problematic thinking effortlessly disappears.

 

It is so fascinating, beautiful and rejuvenating, to experience yourself without words, yes, without language and, yet, to have the EL, which makes this possible. The freedom, you feel, is the liberation from what you know, which is your DL, but the excitement and anticipation you have, while you engage in EL, is the whole-hearted faith in the positive outcomes, which keep accumulating. In DL,  problems keep piling up, but in EL, you will reap the fruits of your actions. As you listen to what you say and read what you are writing, you’ll notice,  your language evaporates, while you are filled with bliss.

 

In spite of education and scientific progress, many people still believe – superstitiously, unintelligently, catastrophically and stubbornly – in some higher power or in something, their own mini-deity, their mind, which, presumably, is more important, than how they use their own language. In effect, all their energy goes to their deity or to the goal or purpose, their language makes them believe they have. With EL all that energy will come back to you. This is not a promise, but a fact, which, without your verification, is meaningless. DL is the language of meaninglessness and you are better off without it. EL gives real meaning to your life, as you know for sure, you will have more and more, as it is so good.     

 

Right,  

 

Yesterday, I wrote in Dutch, about being wrong, but today, I want to write, in English, about being right. Of course, right or wrong are verbal constructs, we apply to our behavior, in the idle hope this results in behavioral control, but nothing is further from the truth. This falsehood is a product of Disembodied Language (DL), which is our common way of talking. Behavioral control requires a novel way of dealing with our language. Only if the right behavior is being produced, can we say: our language was effective.

 

When we engage in Embodied Language (EL) – by talking out loud with ourselves and by listening to the sound of our voice – we get everything right, what we got wrong with our DL. It is such delight to be right in this way, as one is only busy with oneself. Although one is inclined to talk about it with others, those who engage in DL never accept someone with EL is right. To the contrary, they always claim to be right, while someone with EL doesn’t give a damn.

 

Being right with EL is having the right words, but also the right way of speaking, listening and writing like this and reading it, in such a manner, that the language is created, even though it is already there. When we read from our DL perspective, it seems as if we must understand what is written, but when we read from our experience of being right with our EL, we know, only our own interpretation of it, is the right one. Writings, which demand from the reader, that he or she takes on the writer’s perspective, are not the kind of writings someone with EL wants to read. In the same way, that the speaker with EL would like to have EL with another speaker, he or she also wants to read the EL from another writer.  

 

What is right for me, as an individual, has nothing to do with what is inadvertently expected from me, as a member from some group. One cannot be right by considering oneself as part of a family, belonging to a church, voting left or right, identifying with one’s profession, imagining as a man, one is a woman, sharing the same hatred, truth or being a victim. Group-behavior always excludes individual behavior, in the exactly same way, that our other-listening excludes our self-listening, but our self-listening includes our other-listening, while our individual behavior excludes our group-behavior. It isn’t right for someone with EL, to participate in any kind of group-behavior and as long as this, because of our old conditioning, continues, our EL stops again.

 

It took me a long time, to discern right from wrong, according to the continuation of my EL. Of course, also speaking the same language is belonging to a group, but this is where EL is so fascinating, as we speak our own language, with our own language. We know that we are right when we do that and we are wrong, if we don’t. In other words, being right depends entirely on us and allows us to condemn the whole world as wrong, because we are the only ones, who engage in EL. Moreover, we know from our experience, the suffering involved in DL and so, we consider it absolutely wrong, everyone keeps  inflicting so much pain and trouble, for themselves as well as for others, with their DL. It is astonishing to us, that DL – a form of acting – is accepted as normal and is praised, as if it is something great.

 

When we for the first time begin to listen to our own EL, we are taking a bath in our own joy and truth. Everything we say fits and is advantageous to us. We are right, because we are rigorous, precise, honest and exact. It is an enormous contrast with the great mess we are, in due to our involvement in DL.  Once the difference between our DL and EL gets clear, we can’t help but conclude, DL is unsuitable, inappropriate, but also unintelligent, insensitive and  harmful. Furthermore, our DL is corrupt, criminal, unfair, immoral and unethical, while our EL – the right way of using language – is completely ignored.

 

Right now, you don’t talk with me, but the fact is, you also don’t talk with yourself. You would have EL right away, if you talked with me, because with me you can talk with yourself. I am not some therapist, I am someone, who is right, because he has EL and if you would talk with me, you would have to admit, that you were wrong, so very wrong, with your DL. I feel, everyone has the right to know about the great difference between DL and EL. It is because of your DL, the world is going to hell in a hand-basket, but everything is going to be all right, once you engage in EL. Your language will come out right, when you take time to feel good about your embodied sound.
