Pond,

 

When you throw a rock in the pond, there will be a ripple effect and when you use a particular word, you trigger for yourself, but also, for others, a whole set of reactions. We, unknowingly, constantly, react to our own language or to the language of others. Our reactivity prevents us from responding or from using our language for us, instead of against us. We have weaponized our language, as we believe, we can win the argument. Surely, the language we use, isn’t really our language, as we are possessed by it, rather than in charge of it and use it as we want to.

 

When we look into the clear water of the pond and watch the red carps swimming around, we become aware of the sound of the words, we use, while we speak and, suddenly, without any practice, without any effort, we engage in Embodied Language (EL), as our usual Disembodied Language (DL) has come to an end. This shift in our attention, had nothing to do with the words we said, as we didn’t say anything, that is, we didn’t speak, to have others listen to us, but we spoke, to be able to listen to ourselves.

 

The pond is not a metaphor for our language, since anything that comes to, supposedly, represent our language, creates more confusion. People compare  language to water, music, consciousness, poetry, comfort, health, illness, escape, worry or struggle, but such indirect use of language is the basis for DL.  In EL, we don’t compare our language to anything and, consequently, our words begin to make sense. We call it having peace of mind, but we finally are able to use our language correctly and joyfully.

 

We say, a picture speaks a thousand words, but we don’t realize, we engage, as usual, in DL. We even claim, we think in pictures, but this is only the way in which we speak, as neuroscientists have never found any words or pictures inside our brain. Our DL takes us into all kinds of falsehoods, which only become clear, if our DL has been stopped. Perhaps, it helps to meditate near a pond, but most likely it will not make any difference, unless we start talking out loud with ourselves and listening to the sound of our voice, so we can hear, we no longer sound so agitated, fragmented, confused and disappointed.

 

Only if there’s not a whiff of wind, the surface of the pond will be smooth as glass and perfectly reflect the single fluffy cloud, which is floating through the inky sky and temporarily obfuscating the full moon. By describing what is in our attention, we become attentive and whatever was attracting and holding our attention, is now giving us attention. In DL, we, as speakers or as writers, always demand the listener’s or the reader’s attention, but in EL, the speaker is him or herself the listener and the writer is him or herself the reader. During EL, there is no other listener, than the speaker him or herself and no other reader, than the writer him or herself. Our inability to conceptualize this, shows that we use our language unintelligently and unrealistically.

 

To speak and to imagine, there exists is a listener, other than we ourselves, is to fantasize about yet another pipe-dream, which is a nightmare, since we are never really listened to by the other. Likewise, to write, in the hope or in the belief, that others will read, understand or appreciate it, prevents us from acknowledging, that we can have our own language and, therefore, our own understanding of ourselves. Like the previously described fixation on words, this outward orientation, also changes the sound of our voice and makes us sound demanding and draining.

 

In DL, we force others to listen to us, but they never really listen, as they don’t want to listen, because we don’t speak in a manner, which elicits listening. As I have stated, we either react or respond, but our ability to do one or the other, isn’t, as we would all like to believe, voluntary. To the contrary, any kind of threat, even a perceived threat, elicits – whether we admit it or not, talk about it or not, are aware about it or not – an involuntary, autonomic or mobilization reaction. Similarly, what Stephen Porges has called, neuroception, that is, our awareness of whether we are safe instead of threatened, is also involuntary, it just happens, as we are all innately wired to survive. When we feel safe, we know, we feel safe and we know, because our DL has stopped and we have EL. Only during EL, do we use our language voluntarily.

 

I happen to know two famous Americans authors, who are somewhat obsessed with ponds. In his book Walden Two, B.F. Skinner steps into the shoes of the transcendentalist H.D. Thoreau, who wrote Walden; or Life in the Woods. Thoreau was a writer and Skinner had also wanted to become a writer before he became a behavioral scientist. Thoreau’s text, was a reflection upon his simple living in natural surroundings and Skinner’s book was an illustration of what a society could be like, if it was based on his behavioral principles. Both men are examples of the great American ideal of personal freedom, independence and self-reliance. Thoreau lived for two years in a self-made hut, near the Walden Pond. Skinner also always did his own thing and he single-handedly created behavioral analysis. Like so many other so-called great thinkers, these men and Porges too, attempted to stop DL and have EL, but they didn’t succeed, as they considered, what was  written, as more important, than what was spoken.

 

When I started out writing this text, with pond as my theme, I didn’t know, I was going to write and remember what I just did. In this last paragraph, I want to speak about a pond, I once sat at, in the night, when I still lived in the Netherlands. It was so beautiful and so peaceful. One night, however, a gigantic branch, broke off and came crashing down  right next to me. It could have killed me, but I just continued to sit there and I was feeling so grateful. I am now also reminded of a poem I wrote back then.

 

Park

 

Sounds of cars are far away

The park is dark and still

I like to be here on my own until

Underneath my favorite tree

Feeling its depth and height

Peaceful unknown energy

Fills me up with light

Bluegrass,

 

Yes, I like bluegrass music, because it is closer to Embodied Language (EL), than opera, rap, reggae, rock and roll or left-wing politics. Excuse me, but can we still have a real conversation? I mean, can we have some EL? Please, do what you need to do, to stop your Disembodied Language (DL), because I am not going to do it. Others may try, to get you to stop your DL, but I have given up on it. I rather continue with my own EL, but without you. That is what I do. I can do what I do, as I have realized my Language Enlightenment (LE). EL is, for you, not a big deal, but to me, it is, in fact, the defining issue of my life. EL is about my freedom, which is the freedom of speech.  

 

EL and LE are a big deal. It is the real deal. However, you can’t handle the real deal. You are into phony political deals and I can hear, in the sound of your voice, that you are not happy with it, although you keep trying to convince everyone, your DL is the best thing ever. Your DL is total bullshit. You may be a right-wing conservative, but you can’t step out of your own script, as I can. I know my own DL. It is just as stupid as yours. Knowing my own DL, gives me a clear picture of what your hopeless delusion is about. I know, I can also lay a heavy trip on you, but I don’t do that, because it is not doing me any good.

 

Bluegrass is a genre of American roots music, that developed in the 1940s in the Appalachian region of the United States. The only reason I talk about it, in this writing, is because something about Joe Biden’s hair, is really bothering me. It is this sticky, filthy, tiny mullet, at the back of his head, that is, according to me, why he, as a president, is doing as bad as he is. We have all heard about the long-haired Samson, who is sometimes mentioned, in the context of his relationship with the woman, who presumably led to his eventual downfall, as in, Samson and Deliah.

 

“She is so damned tough and loyal”, Biden bragged  about his wife (Jill), when he was still president elect, which means, he never believed in himself. His hairstyle reflects this. Biden clearly desperately tries to hang on to his last couple of hairs, but this doesn’t make any difference. As a matter of fact, his truncated hair, at the back of his head, predicts and explains the calamities, he is bringing upon the United States and the world, much better than any tea-leaves or tarot cards. This may sound ridiculous,  but the world has no other choice, than to hang on to every last piece of Biden’s hair. Going bold just ain’t his thing. Yes, we should be grateful, we can rely on his hair, to always be the way it is. It is about branding, consistency, dignity and aging wisely.   

 

What has this got to do with blue grass? Well, keep reading and you will find out. Every time you look at the back of Biden’s head, you know, who is going to win the next election. Forget about these so-called stolen elections, because it is the beautiful hair of the presidential candidate, which determines, who is going to be the next president. So what, Trump  set a new standard? His fluffy red hair pissed off so many people, they still can’t stop talking about it. There is nothing wrong with Trump, as a person, but his hair greatly infuriated people and Biden’s hair is pay-back. It is amazing, how a person’s appearance is affecting the outcome of the elections. Going back to Blue Grass, we all hunger for some authenticity.

 

Biden’s hair is a political statement: I may be an old man, but eighty is the new thirty. Being demented means, if I can’t have my way, I am always allowed to run my wheel-chair over your damn toes. My ghastly wife taught me to do this. In fact, she had to tell me over and over again, to convince me. She has my success at heart, that is why I always do as she tells me. She is such a great role-model, you know, a long-time educator, a proud military mom, as well as a prankster grandmother. Can you imagine, what it sounds like, when this ambitious, superficial, ruthless bitch says that: "The role I have felt always most at home in is Dr. Biden?" Yep, that’s typically her. Do I need to say more or did I say already too much?  

 

Of course, bluegrass was bluish-green grass, first introduced into Northern America, from Northern Europe. It might as well have come from Holland. The Dutch settlers came to the United States and created New Amsterdam, which later became New York. The Dutch didn’t care about religious beliefs, as they cared more about communication and trade. Because of Spinoza – a rogue Jewish-Dutch philosopher – people, in what was to become the United States, could believe whatever they wanted, as long as it didn’t interfere with selling snake-oil.  

 

I would like you to know, that apart from specific instrumentation, a distinguishing characteristic of bluegrass is vocal harmony featuring two, three, or four parts, often with a dissonant or modal sound in the highest voice, a style which is described as a high and lonesome sound. Your EL also always sounds lonesome, but, only when you first hear it. Although you can’t touch or smell it, it still helps to just look at Biden’s hair and imagine what it feels like to stroke it. It is greasy, but you will overcome your disgust with this flaky, mean, old man, if you firmly believe in the benefits it brings, that you are on the right team and on the right side of history.  

 

Bluegrass is absolutely essential to the sound of American music. I like it, that it is described as music that penetrates your soul, makes you want to howl and makes you want to hop on one leg. Biden does this sometimes, when he is giddy and folksy. It refers to the fact, he is still alive, in spite of his DL. The people who play it and those, who come around to listen to it and dance, are alive with something, that those who are not into Bluegrass seem to have lost. I like to sing my own text to old Bluegrass melodies to let you know, that we can still have EL. It helps me, to fit in, to have an excuse, to wear a cowboy hat and be the kind of American, I want to be. Just type my name, Maximus Peperkamp, on You Tube and you can hear my wonderful songs, which, in my opinion, are almost always better than the original.

Nature,

 

Trees, rivers, mountains, skies, oceans, animals and planets exist without language. Only human beings have language, with which we describe everything. Without Embodied Language (EL), nature doesn’t even seem to exist or have any importance, but with our common language, which is Disembodied Language (DL), we deny that nature exists and that we ourselves are nature, in spite of our stupid way of dealing with language. EL is our nature, we just don’t know it yet and that is why it is making us so incredibly happy. Our Language Enlightenment (LE) brings out our self-nature. However, our LE requires another way of dealing with language than we are used to.

 

Although you mechanically engage in DL, every day, because everyone, unknowingly, says to you: DL is in your nature and isn’t something that is ever going to change, you can change it, quickly and effortlessly. If you take some time, to speak – alone – out loud with yourself and listen, to the sound of your voice, you will first hear your DL, but if you tell yourself, the opposite of what you’ve been told – that it is not in your nature, to speak with a voice, which you yourself, now that you listen to it, don’t like – you will find, to your own big surprise, you can easily stop your DL and have EL. Your nature wants to express itself.  

 

People say dumb things about nature, because they don’t have the language, to say anything intelligent about it. For instance, if someone does something nice, we would say: part of it was simply his nature and that part is sweet and selfless. There is no such thing as being a part of nature, because it is whole. Only a language, which expresses our wholeness can express our nature, but as long as we talk about this or that part, we are divided and fragmented.

 

We all, unconsciously, have the notion – which is our own neurotic, stressful, restless,  distracted and frustrated experience – that nature is constantly being threatened and violated. People worry a great deal about climate change, but they have no clue at all, about the toxic atmosphere they keep creating, for themselves and for others, with their language. DL, is our common way of talking, which sets the stage for how we mechanically deal with language. As the world goes to hell in hand-basket and we are all awaiting impending doom, we still stubbornly claim, that nature will find a way to deal with it. Few people even dare to admit, that nature doesn’t have any purpose. How are we supposed work with, instead of against, nature, if we don’t even acknowledge, that our language determines all our other behaviors?

 

It is certainly in my nature, to share with you, what I have come to know. My EL has revealed my LE and I am convinced, you could also be as happy as I am, but your unnatural DL has to stop. Forget about all the other so-called threats and consider the threat, which you, unknowingly, keep imposing on yourself and others, by how you normally sound, whenever you speak. Although it is natural, to react to any kind of threat with a fight-flight-freeze response, you can understand, that such a mobilization-response is the foundation for your DL. Therefore, unless you create an aversive-free environment, there cannot be and there will not be any EL. To be able to have EL, you must go against your nature and stop being busy with your constant arousal about all the negativity, which is created, spread and kept alive by your DL.

 

Your EL illustrates, you can overcome your nature, which is to be fearful in the face of threats. You become courageous, if you don’t cave in, as you usually do with  DL, and react to everything that is negatively affecting you. In fact, you grow up intellectually and become mature. Certainly, because you understand your own nature, you are able to finally acknowledge, what you need, to be and to stay happy, that is, what you need, to feel safe and protected. Forget about all this DL-bullshit about getting out of your comfort-zone and become pragmatic about your need, to be and to remain, in your comfort-zone, so that you can have ongoing EL.

 

If a plant cannot live according to its nature, it dies, and the same is true for you. DL cannot provide you the nourishment, you need, to be and to stay healthy. While you keep losing yourself and going overboard, seeking – what, in DL, is derogatorily called – instant gratification, with unhealthy stuff, you feel awkward about your real need for wellbeing and relaxation. You may still be somewhat alive, but you live like a zombie, with your primitive DL. You try, but can’t deny, your own need for immediate stability and peace. In EL, human nature is expressed by your own language, rather than by some fanatic belief.  

 

In DL, someone is said to have a sunny nature, but it is not in someone else nature, to smile, presumably. This nonsense has been going on forever and it was your DL, which has perpetuated such crap. Every person can smile and every person can cry, but only if our EL informs us, that this is human our nature. Our usual way of dealing with language – which is not, as we believe, what we think – is caused by our DL, which is inhuman, as it goes against human nature.

 

Nature and your so-called mind are incompatible. You either have one or the other. With DL ,you have the latter, but with EL, you experience and express your nature. Moreover, since you are used to having DL, you are used doing all kinds of unnatural things, which create nothing but problems for you. Your ridiculous belief in your mind, as well as your self-defeating obsession with what you call thinking, is the effect of your almost permanent involvement in DL. It disappears like snow melting in the sun, when you engage in EL. Mind is really an illusion created by your own language.  

 

Lastly, there is – of course, only with DL and it really makes no difference at all, whether it is educated or uneducated DL – still this meaningless debate going on about the different influences of nature and nurture. We read in some textbook, in spite of the statement that the nature of organisms is the most important factor in variation, the tendency among evolutionists has been to take much more account of the influence of external conditions. This issue about external and internal conditions refers to how we use our language, that is, how we, in DL, separate ourselves from our environment. It means, quite literally, that the speaker separates him or herself from the listener, who is not the speaker.   


You can hear my songs about DL, EL and LE on my You Tube channel. I have also recently recorded some of my spoken elaborations about it and intend to do this more often. Just type in my name Maximus Peperkamp and it will show up. Let us talk, so we can stop our DL and enjoy our LE with our EL. Have a wonderful Thursday. My skype name is limbicease

Experience,

 

I just did something, I very rarely do. Every time I came up with a new title for this piece of writing, it turned out, I had used that title before. I was curious, what I had written, so, I reread four of my previous texts and recommend everyone to also read those texts or to read them again, because they are really fantastic. I didn't know, I could write so well. And, I also had to laugh so much at my style, which is my own experience and so straightforward.

 

I plan to make some videos soon in which I will read aloud from my own work. But, if you are curious about which text I am talking about, you can easily look it up. If you enter the word meaning, always, now or again in that box at the top left of my blog, the text will appear, which I just read with such great pleasure. It is something completely different from what others say or write, because I always write and speak only from my own experience.

 

I also just read some of the news. Biden is in Israel. He hugged Netanyahu and said: we have many things to overcome. Things??? Come on man! Why isn't he saying problems??? He believes, he can mollify reality by calling them things...I have a very different approach to life. I no longer have any problems to overcome because I have articulated, explored and solved them all with my Embodied Language (EL). Yes, and  I claim, anyone can do this, but it is impossible to have EL as long as we identify with some ideology. EL is not a belief or an ideology, but a possibility that has become reality in my life. If you read my texts, you cannot ignore that and you can no longer continue to claim that your faith or theory helps you to live a happy and satisfied life.

 

Your experience is more important than your explanation about your experience, because you  interpret everything with your Disembodied Language (DL). It is your usual use of language that determines what meaning you give to your own experience. Thus, simply put, your experience is unimportant and you live a meaningless life. You can continue to claim, that what you experience is indeed important, but when I listen to the sound of your voice while you speak, all I hear is your fear, struggle, pain, anger, sadness and powerlessness. You don't want to and you can't even listen to me, because when I speak, I produce a sound to which you have closed yourself off. Recognizing this fact is your only chance of having EL. You don't have to keep doing what you have already done and of which you already know the negative results. And, yes, your own experience is always new.

 

With continuing EL, your explanation of your experience is just as important as your experience itself, because your language no longer distorts, hides or eliminates your experience. You are used to having DL and to believing that something is your experience, which in reality is not your experience at all. Your authentic experience can only make itself known, when you have stopped with your pushy DL. So if, you really reflect on your own experience for a moment, your DL will also pause for a moment and then you experience and say something new about what you are experiencing.

 

You can, at any time, reinterpret your experience – with your EL – and give new meaning to your life. There is no way that you would fantasize this, because you listen to yourself and you hear your own experience of well-being in your EL. Language is no longer something that merely happens to you involuntarily just like that – your so-called mind –  but something you do consciously, voluntarily and, therefore, skillfully. DL is mechanical, unconscious, unnatural and, above all, incorrect use of language, which leads to nothing but disaster.

 

If we consider only the word experience - instead of our own direct experience - we are immediately reminded, that we have always had good or bad, deep or superficial, continuous or sudden, the same or new experiences. In DL, our language is never aligned with our experience in the moment and so we are constantly adding the past to what we are experiencing now. Only in EL are we truly able to put the right words to our deeds and to continue to view our experience as new, because of our skillful, dignified, certain, clear use of language.

 

Ervaring,

 

Ik heb zojuist iets gedaan, wat ik maar heel zelden doe. Elke keer, als ik met een nieuwe titel voor dit schrijven kwam, bleek dat ik die titel al eerder had gebruikt. Ik herlas dus daardoor vier van mijn vorige teksten en raad iedereen aan, om die teksten alsnog of nog eens te lezen, want ze zijn echt fantastisch. Ik wist niet dat ik zo goed kon schrijven. Ik moest ook zo lachen, om mijn stijl, die zo recht voor z’n raap is.

 

Ik ben van plan om binnenkort wat videos te maken,  waarin ik hardop uit eigen werk voorlees. Maar, als je nieuwsgierig bent, over welke teksten ik het heb, dan kun je het gemakkelijk opzoeken. Als je in dat vakje, links bovenaan, het woord betekenis, altijd, nu of opnieuw invult, dan verschijnt die tekst, die ik net met zoveel genoegen heb gelezen. Het is zoiets totaal anders, dan wat anderen zeggen of schrijven, want ik schrijf en spreek vanuit mijn eigen ervaring.  

 

Ook las ik zojuist even het nieuws. Biden is in Israel. Hij gaf Netanyahu een hug en zei: we hebben veel dingen te overwinnen. Dingen??? Kom op man! Hij gelooft schijnbaar, dat hij de realiteit kan verzachten, door niet het woord problemen in de mond te nemen.  Ik sta heel anders in het leven. Ik heb geen enkel probleem meer, om te overwinnen, want ik heb ze allemaal verwoord, onderzocht en opgelost met mijn Belichaaamde Taal (BT). Ja, ik beweer dus, dat iedereen dit kan, maar het is onmogelijk, om BT te hebben zolang wij nog ons nog identificeren met een of ander geloof. BT is geen geloof of ideologie, maar een mogelijkheid, die in mijn leven werkelijk is geworden. Als je mijn teksten leest, dan kun je daar niet om heen en kun ook niet langer blijven beweren, dat jou geloof of ideologie, je helpt, om een gelukkig leven te leven.

 

Jou ervaring is belangrijker, dan jou uitleg van jou ervaring, omdat je nog steeds alles geneigd bent te interpreteren vanuit Ontlichaamde Taal (OT). Het is dus jou gebruikelijke omgang met taal, die bepaalt wat voor betekenis jij geeft, aan jou eigen ervaring. Simpel gezegd, is jou ervaring onbelangrijk en leef je een zinloos leven. Je kunt wel bij hoog en bij laag blijven beweren, dat wat jij ervaart toch wel degelijk belangrijk is, maar als ik luister naar de klank van je stem, terwijl je spreekt, dan hoor ik alleen maar jou angst, strijd, pijn, woede, verdriet en onmacht. Jij wilt niet en jij kunt niet naar mij luisteren, omdat ik, tijdens het spreken, een geluid produceer, waarvoor jij je hebt afgesloten. Het erkennen van dit feit, is jou enige kans, om BT te hebben. Je hoeft niet te blijven doen wat je al hebt gedaan en waarvan je de negatieve resultaten al kent. Jou ervaring is nieuw.

 

Met voortgaande BT is jou uitleg van jou ervaring net zo belangrijk als jou ervaring zelf, omdat jou taal dan niet langer, jou ervaring verstoord, onzichtbaar maakt of uitschakelt. Je bent eraan gewend om OT te hebben en om te geloven, dat iets jou ervaring zou zijn, wat in werkelijkheid helemaal jou ervaring niet is. Jou authentieke ervaring kan zich pas kenbaar maken, als jij bent opgehouden met jou drammerige OT. Als jij dus, op dit moment, echt eventjes stil staat bij jou eigen ervaring, dan houdt je OT ook eventjes op en dan ervaar en zeg je iets nieuws over wat je beleeft.

 

Je kunt dus, op ieder moment, jou ervaring opnieuw interpreteren – met jou BT – en nieuwe betekenis geven aan jou leven. Er is geen sprake van, dat jij dit zou fantaseren, want jij luistert immers naar jezelf en je hoort je eigen ervaring van welbevinden in jou BT. Taal is niet langer iets, dat, onvrijwillig, zomaar, met je gebeurd - je zogenaamde mind - maar iets wat jij bewust, vrijwillig en daardoor dus vaardig doet. OT is mechanisch, onbewust, onnatuurlijk en bovenal incorrect taal gebruik, dat tot niets anders dan calamiteiten leidt.

 

Als wij slechts het woord ervaring beschouwen – in plaats van onze eigen directe ervaring – dan zijn we er meteen aan herinnerd, dat we altijd goede of slechte, diepe of oppervlakkige, voortdurende of plotselinge, dezelfde of nieuwe ervaringen hadden. In OT is onze taal nooit afgestemd op onze ervaring en daardoor voegen wij voortdurend het verleden bij wat wij nu ervaren. Alleen in BT zijn wij werkelijk in staat, om woord bij daad te voegen en om onze ervaring als nieuw te blijven beschouwen, vanwege ons kundige, waardige, zekere, heldere taalgebruik.

Violent,

 

Although everyone, unconsciously, engages every day, almost continuously, in Disembodied Language (DL), our common, expected, troublesome way of dealing with language is inherently violent. Yes, it is violent, to speak and not to hear oneself and expect others to listen. Our attention-demanding way of talking determines how we deal with our language and sets the stage for all other behavior. In effect, how we sound, while we speak, creates the chaos and the problems, we haven’t been able to address and solve. Violent behavior isn’t the solution, but our violent language keeps such behavior going.   

 

It is astonishing, we still haven’t acknowledged, that all our violent behavior, is caused by and, therefore, preceded by our language. Therefore, to decrease violence, we must decrease our participation in DL. You would hope, our psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists,  teachers, doctors, scientist and leaders, should be able to acknowledge this, but none of them do. Nowadays, there’s a lot of talk is going on about hate-speech, which, presumably, sets the stage for violent acts, but not a word is ever said about our usual DL, in which a speaker hierarchically separates him or herself from the listener and thus, sounds coercive and violent. Supposedly, we are allowed to be violent and we justify our violence, because, presumably, we are more important than others, better than others or holier than others. All religions are maintained by DL and preach violent nonsense. They distort our use of language and in doing so, take away our freedom. Instead of having Embodied Language (EL), we live in superstitions.       

 

Our punitive involvement in DL is involuntary and antithetical to any sense of individuality. We merely get to mechanically act out our conditioning history  and nobody seems to notice, that we are actually violent, when we say, that we think or have a mind, as we constantly force something on ourselves and on each other. We are only able to stop our violent belief in thought, if we stop our DL and engage in EL. When we do this, we don’t transcend our mind, but we fully acknowledge, it never really existed.  

 

The violent, false and utterly foolish notion, that we think or must think, is based on fear, which could never disappear, as long as we continued with our DL. Once our use of language is based on our own wellbeing, our fear is gone and our language is no longer working against us. Also the idea of having positive, empowering, non-violent thoughts is pure bullshit. In EL, we use our language correctly. All our attention only goes to our overt actions, such as our speaking, listening, writing and reading and not to violent, repressive, imaginary inner, private speech.

 

With DL, we have kept our fear going, by our belief in a non-existent mind. We fear to use language for our own benefit, as we have been punished for this over and over again. There is no support anywhere for our EL. Only if we take time, to talk calmly out loud with ourselves and listen to ourselves, can we step out of our stress, anxiety, frustration, confusion and dissatisfaction, which we experience, due to our participation in our usual DL. Only then, do we stop being violent and undermining to ourselves.

 

Since we have never addressed – for ourselves – the great difference between DL and EL, all our efforts to, supposedly, improve our communication, were, paradoxically, making us more violent. Rather than addressing and stopping our DL altogether, we got endlessly carried away by meaningless hair-splitting, as we invented issues like micro-aggressions. These, presumably, subtle, verbal or nonverbal behaviors, which can be conscious or unconscious, are directed at a member of a marginalized group and have a harmful, derogatory effect. What we are attempting to talk about, however, is DL, but addressing DL with DL, only makes things worse, as it creates more DL.

 

When DL is confronted with more DL, there is war. This war can be fought with weapons and language can be weaponized. Surely, when someone like me, who knows very well, what is DL and what is EL, engages – albeit unwillingly – in DL with someone else, who has DL, he or she knows, that he or she engages DL, while the person, who doesn’t know  about the difference between DL and EL, doesn’t know, that he or she engages in DL. Thus, I can engage in DL and say and admit it is DL, because I am conscious of it, but you, who yet have to discern for yourself, the difference between EL and DL, you don’t know or you don’t even realize that you are unconsciously engaging in DL. I have stood my ground on many occasions, but I no longer do that, as people get immediately violent, when their DL is exposed. In all so-called debates or arguments, we are violent. Since we have never acknowledged this, our violent DL has continued unabated. Indeed, only someone knowledgeable and conscious, like me, is capable of stopping our DL and unless others are respectfully listening to me, we will never get to EL. I view myself as a pioneer or scientist, as I have come to know what nobody has been able to articulate.        

 

Whenever someone – out of the blue –  commits a violent act, everyone is puzzled about how this could happen. However, all our violent behavior is always preceded by DL, that is, by violent language. The fact, that we refuse to look into it, doesn’t make it go away. Mankind’s blatant denial of DL causes enormous problems, as it always escalates in more violent behavior. EL, by contrast, truly paves the way for a different way of life, because a different way of dealing with language, effects all our other behavior. As we become capable of having EL, we eventually will stop all our violent, neurotic, self-defeating behavior, which were created and maintained by DL.

 

Our Language Enlightenment (LE) is our ability to have ongoing EL. We all know, when we say, we feel tired, we feel tired. In other words, our language refers to our experience and doesn’t contradict it. However, our experience of feeling tired, isn’t the same as saying we are feeling tired. As stated, there can be – for proper use of language, there ought to be – congruence between what we say and how we say it, between what we say and our experience. It is only during EL, that we are conscious about such congruence, but in DL we remain unconscious about the incongruence between our words and what our words actually refer to. Consciousness is a word that refers to the correct, happy, fulfilling way of using our language. Conversely, unconsciousness is the incorrect, problematic use of language. As long as there is fear, we are unable to use our language correctly. Thus, in LE, we have no mind or thoughts.

 World,

 

I live – psychologically speaking – in my own world and so does everyone else. Obviously, fire is as hot to me, as it is to you and, like you, I cannot perform any miracles. However, I care about different things, as I enjoy my Embodied Language (EL), but you stumble through life with meaningless Disembodied Language (DL). My world is based on my own truth, while your world is based on your imagination.  

 

To have DL and to keep insisting, it is the only thing which matters, is very childish, because you demand attention. Surely, you are not asking me or others to approve of your happiness, your wellbeing or your intelligence. To the contrary, in DL, everyone always only wants to drag others into their problems, their stress, their frustrations and their struggles. The only way to prevent this, is by having my own EL.

 

Most people are not allowed to enter my world, as they don’t want to know anything about EL. I used to believe, they could learn to have EL, but I have completely left this point of view. You cannot learn EL and there is no hope for you with your forceful, delusional, ugly DL. Indeed, everyone with DL is heading for disaster and I don’t want any part of it. I feel fortunate, I have somehow been able to acquire ongoing EL and I know very well what this involves.  

 

The reason, I can continue with my blissful EL, while everyone else is doomed, by their miserable DL, is that, in spite of my flaws, I am enlightened. I seem to be making less and less mistakes, as I get older and to me, aging is a wonderful process, as things  keep on getting better and better. Moreover, this endless unfolding of being myself, happens without any effort. Such is my Language Enlightenment (LE).

 

You would begin to have EL too, if you believed me, that you are enlightened too. I know that you don’t believe me, as I myself couldn’t believe in anyone either, with my stubborn DL. With DL, nobody trusts anyone and, surely, nobody has faith in themselves. Only if you verbally acknowledge your own LE,  will you be able to have EL. You can’t have one without the other. You kept failing at EL and gave up on it, because due to your DL, your world is based on fear.

 

Your fearful use of language was never addressed by you, as you never talked out loud with yourself and listened to the sound of your fears. In other words, you have never talked with yourself and dissected your fearful sound from your fearless sound. Since your DL is grounded in fear, you have remained afraid of what you might say to yourself. If you did what you must do, to overcome your fear, you will stop producing DL, as you gain control of yourself.

 

Stopping your DL is easy, although you go against your own conditioning history. Gaining control of your language is a matter of paying attention to it. Once you admit, to yourself, that your language isn’t used by you, but, somehow, it is using you – as you hear yourself having a sound, which never really fits with you – you stop producing that sound and, then, you produce and experience, the sound of your EL.

 

The moment you switch from DL to EL or the other way around, your world totally changes. That is, you witness the immense power of having your own language, because you use it, to create your own world. You either create your own heaven or your own hell. Everyone with DL, unknowingly, lives in their self-created agony. I don’t do what others with DL do and I reap the positive results of my own EL, even though hardly anyone is ever interested in it.  

 

I live in and stay in my own world and I don’t go out of it, to, supposedly, reach you anymore. This issue, that you can’t learn to have EL is very mysterious. All you can really do, is listen to someone like me, who has ongoing EL and realize, that by talking with myself, I am also talking with you and by speaking with my EL about my LE, I stimulate you to embrace your LE with your EL. The transmission happens or it doesn’t happen. If it doesn’t happen, you know that it didn’t happen, but if it happens, you know it does.

 

I invite you to speak, hear and experience your own truth, so that you create your own world and begin to live in your own reality. You are capable of doing that, but with your DL, you will continue to believe in superstitious nonsense. Your LE is realistic and your EL will let you know it is so. As a matter of fact,  you are the architect of your own world, whether you know it or not. With EL you create and maintain your world knowingly, skillfully and consciously, as your attention goes to your speaking and listening and to your writing and your reading about your speaking and your listening. With EL, you instruct yourself differently than with DL and the positive results of your EL will be instantly apparent to you.
