Just,
We have only
just begun to recognize – due to our preference for and our exploration of our
Embodied Language (EL) – that it is wonderful to be without language. The
difference between our Disembodied Language (DL) and EL, wasn’t clear to us, therefore,
we inadvertently, unconsciously, continued with our DL. It was never before mentioned
or noticed, that if we stop speaking, if we stop listening, if we stop writing
and if we stop reading, we are, momentarily, without language. This discovery could only be
done with our EL, as with DL, we can never be without language, that is why DL,
our usual way of dealing with language, cannot make us peaceful and still.
The moment in
which we can be truly without any language, only occurs in EL, but never in DL,
as only in our EL do we use our language correctly. Only after we have – to our
hearts content – spoken with ourselves and listened to ourselves, only after we
have, repeatedly, written and read about our own experience, our own writing
and description about this magnificent process, can we be utterly quiet.
Initially,
we just couldn’t believe it, that we were able to stop our own DL, by merely admitting
what we were actually doing. It had never occurred to us before, that our
common way of talking determined how we use our language. One moment – when we were
calmly talking out loud with ourselves, about what we were experiencing, while
we were talking with others – we suddenly feel strikingly different. Our own DL
had just stopped by itself, as we finally acknowledged to ourselves, our own stress,
worry, frustration, defensiveness, chaos and confusion. In effect, we feel very
happy about the fact, that we were able to say to ourselves, we were unhappy.
DL and EL
are mutually exclusive and only after our DL has been is stopped, is our EL possible.
It just happens, the moment that our DL stops. We feel this difference between
our DL and EL as a big relief. This isn’t just like any other experience, as it
is truly mind-blowing. Without any practice or preparation, we suddenly know, we
engage in EL, as what we say and how we sound is making so much sense. It just
so happens, that we express our own intelligence.
You just can’t
get enough of exploring your EL, as it reveals to you, who you really are. Even
though it is a big challenge, to stop your own DL and to step out of your own
conditioning history, you just do it and you know you do it, each time you do
it, as your EL has immediate positive consequences, which satisfy your need for
instant gratification. When you take your first steps in EL, you simply speak out
loud with yourself and you just trust, that your happy sound leads you to good things. You just want to
talk some more with yourself, to verify if it is true and it is.
As you
become clear, energized, fulfilled and happy, because you have stopped your DL
and you prolong your experience of EL, you know, you just want to continue doing
that. Above all, you feel grounded, equanimous, balanced, conscious,
deliberate, skillful, certain and strong, as you have a different perception and
orientation. Surely, EL is the correct use of your language, as it changes your
life for the better. You achieve and know this, as you are aware, it has
nothing to do with so-called inner bliss. To the contrary, it is because of the
expression of your own EL, you begin to appreciate being without language.
We were born
without language and many of us, as we get older, forget about our language. However,
most of us frantically hang on to whatever we have put together with our
language. It is, so to speak, who we belief to be. However, we are never, who
we believe to be. I heard the song Cozy on the radio, by Beyonce. She sings, she
feels so happy in her own skin, but someone who is happy, doesn’t sound like
that, speak like that or act like that. With our DL, we can only be what we
believe or pretend to be with our language. DL is just all make-believe.
Being without
our language is like death. During our EL, we die to our past, as we are
constantly new. It is just amazing, to have EL, as we come to terms with our
mortality. Another way of saying this, is our EL informs us about our Language
Enlightenment (LE). There is nothing to fantasize about death and there is nothing
to dream about being without language. Yes, our EL just stimulates dreamless, deep,
restful sleep, but our DL gives us nightmares and insomnia.
