Attention,
The
so-called incompleteness of attention is always realized from an awareness. If
we miss something, it is always from a perception that everything can be there
and nothing is missed. Of course, this requires a certain language – instead of
our current language use – which I call Embodied Language (EL), which allows
everything to be what it is and can be.
Anyone
can talk to themselves with full attention and listen to themselves and come to
hear and find out that there is an enormous difference between EL and the
Disembodied Language (DL), which is our everyday way of speaking. When you talk
to yourself out loud intently – not to say or understand something about
yourself, but to experience your speaking voice – there is a sudden change in
your sound. You feel the relief, as what you say need not be about anything and
yet, you produce the sound that suits you, because it is your relaxation and
peace, which is continued by expressing your voice.
You
were unconsciously doing DL, because you weren't listening to the sound of your
voice, but as soon as you do that again, you have EL, effortlessly and
naturally. Suddenly you are full of attention and you say important things,
that you would not have been able to say without such attention. The most
important thing about what you are telling yourself with EL, is that you are
already enlightened and so, it is your Language Enlightenment (LE) that results
in you wanting to have EL and not DL.
It
is constantly claimed, by all sorts of opposing groups, that, supposedly, always
the other group is lying, but it is the language we use, in such a way that the
reality cannot be expressed, which makes it so, that the pot blames the kettle is
black. We know the earth is not flat and is not the center of the solar system,
but as far as our language is concerned, we are completely in the dark, since
we have not yet given ourselves and each other the opportunity to investigate
what is going on and what happens when we move on with our intelligent,
sensitive, conscious EL, instead of with our dull, automatic DL.
By now, we should finally know,
where our usual way of doing
things - especially how we
deal with our language
- leads, because all chaos
and conflicts don't just
appear out of the blue.
Whatever way you
look at it, we, the
earthlings, create,
with our DL, all the
dire situations
occurring all over the
world. Everyone is
equally responsible
for how things go
totally wrong. DL is
accepted by everyone
as if it is normal and
cannot be changed,
but if we finally pay
attention to it, EL
will happen by itself.
However, we will only
pay attention to what
demands attention, if we
recognize and, therefore,
fully admit, that our stupid
use of language is
running out of steam.
No
one cares about DL, which is at the root of all the misery, which is getting
bigger, clearer and more and more intrusive. It is not at all about this
country or that country, about communism or capitalism, about this party or
that party or about this faith or that belief, because everything is worded
with DL. If we are going to have EL – and start paying attention to our own
language – then all kinds of boundaries will disappear, because they were
created and they were maintained by our DL. Yes, we will organize a different
reality with EL, in which everything that came about due to our involvement in
DL, will be thrown overboard.
Everyone
is busy saying that it's all about freedom of speech, equality, diversity, inclusion
or about the economy, guns, science, creativity, kindness, love, awareness or democracy, but nobody pays
attention to EL, because they don't even know it's possible. I am not being
listened to. For a long time I worried a lot about this because, despite my own
conditioning with DL, I understood things would only get worse because no one
would talk to me the way I wanted and could.
Now
that I have, at long last, started speaking and writing about my LE with my EL,
I am no longer concerned, because my LE is a fact to me, which I express to
myself every day. I am unconcerned, that things everywhere seem to be falling apart or that
others don't want to hear about my EL, because I hear it, as I keep saying it
to myself. Moreover, talking to myself has become possible, because talking to
myself is considered more important by me than talking to others because
talking to others always involves DL and I don't participate in that madness
anymore.
Everyone
can keep going with their DL, because I'm fine with my benevolent EL and I'm
not responsible for anyone. My attention is my freedom, because of my EL. If
you read this, I want you to know, that it depends on your use of language,
whether you continue to ruin your own life and the lives of others with your
compulsive DL or not. I've taken the leap into EL and can only tell you it's
worth it and you don't know what you're missing, although you too can find out.
If
someone as stressed, frustrated, foolish, confused and lost as I was - by
simply talking out loud to myself and listening to myself - could effortlessly stop
my DL and then continue with my EL, then anyone can. I don't have any
exceptional gifts or talents - although I do find my humor quite funny - and
I'm just as much a klutz as everyone else.
It's a pity that you can't
laugh at my language,
because it's really
nice when you finally
get EL. I hope, of
course, that this will
still happen, but, as
I said, I am not waiting
for it and I will not laugh
any less because of you
not joining. It doesn't
bother me that you don't
have EL and can't laugh
at yourself. Actually, your
lack of humor has a
laughable effect on me.
It's painful, I'm laughing
at your drama and struggle,
but what else can I do? I
never laugh in your face,
because that could have an
adverse effect for me,
because you will get
angry with me.
I
have often had to save myself from situations in which I saw the ridiculousness
of what people did or claimed and therefore laughed at others, but I don't do
that anymore. It is sufficient for me, and also more pleasant, to say to
myself, how disastrous everyone is with DL, because I know I know better.
Although sometimes I may fall back into my old habit, I also laugh at my own
stupidity.
There
is no escaping in EL - for nothing escapes our notice - that the emperor
without clothes, that DL, is naked and seen for what it is and it is high time this
happened. However, EL remains a personal matter as it is not about listening to
others, it is about listening to ourselves. There is a lot of fun waiting for
you, should you decide to be brave enough to really talk to yourself, so you can
listen to yourself. I will – if it ever comes to that – still laugh with you
and if I have already passed away, I will, so to speak, gladly, roll around
in my grave, just for fun.
