Tranquility,

 

Whenever you hear or read about tranquility, you almost immediately relate it to something spiritual, religious, mystical or philosophical, but this is, because you engage, unconsciously, every day, in Disembodied Language (DL), in which there can be no tranquility. With DL, you are in a constant turmoil, because you imagine, that language happens inside of you or that you have thoughts or a mind. 

Although there are no sentences or words anywhere inside of you, the belief, that you can have an inner conversation with yourself, is so strong, because you would really like to say and hear what you believe to be thinking, but your DL doesn’t allow you to do that. However, if you would be able to have Embodied Language (EL), you would overcome your tenacious belief a behavior-causing inner self and experience your life in a peaceful way, because you say what you want to say and are capable of saying. With ongoing EL tranquility is simply your natural way of being. The beauty of EL is, you can hear it in the sound of your voice.

 

Recognizing your tranquility, with your ongoing EL, makes you aware of who you are. With EL, your attention effortlessly and naturally goes to the serene sound of your voice. You do nothing to produce this sound. You have this resonant sound, because you are at peace with yourself. You have never used this sound to speak with. What will you say, when you identify this voice and say with this voice, what you can only say with this voice? And what will you do, after you have given yourself instructions with this voice? You will do exactly, as you have said you would.

 

The congruence between your conscious way of using your language and all your other behavior results in the increase of your tranquility. Nothing can produce your tranquility, as your EL can. Your EL is more than merely speaking, as it involves listening, while you speak. Also, to maintain your EL, in spoken form, you need to write about your EL, so that you can read it. Spontaneous expression and fluid formulation of EL in spoken form, needs to be documented, made solid and further elaborated on, in written form, so that all four aspects of your language – speaking, listening, writing and reading – have been fully covered.

 

Traditionally, various folklores have used texts to, supposedly, achieve tranquility, but since the difference between DL and EL has never been properly addressed – with EL – we have never used our own writing, about our own ongoing EL, to experience and enhance our tranquility. Moreover, due to our habitual involvement in DL, we experience tranquility, as a movement away from our language, rather than a movement into our language. However, in EL, there is no inner language or mind, as there is only the switch from DL to EL, which dissolves our DL-created-illusion. The experiential nature of our phony tranquility is, due to our DL, believed to involve a so-called spiritual or meditative process of quieting the mind. Yet, we all experience moments, in which we feel tranquil, we have an intuitive sense of what it is, but our insensitive, mechanical, dull DL doesn’t capture it and thus, it disturbs our experience.

 

With EL we can finally talk about our tranquility to our heart’s content. This is such a nourishing, healing, ecstatic, enlightening event. As a result of our ongoing EL, our tranquility no longer slips through our fingers. In other words, we are not anymore struggling to define it, to share it or to hang on to it. With ongoing EL tranquility lasts, as it reveals our Language Enlightenment (LE).

 

The common notion of inner peace is based on the falsehood of the subsidence or quieting of our private speech. As stated, there exists no inner language, but DL makes us imagine, that we have a covert conversation with ourselves. If we would ask ourselves – out loud – what is this presumed inner self, who supposedly, inwardly, is inaudibly talking, we are puzzled, confused or even crazy? And, who, inside of us, is having a conversation with who? One answer always only results in even more questions and on and on, because we are in the fantasyland of the psychotic, in which we quite literally believe to be hearing voices. We speak about thoughts, but the fact is, we are imagining inner speech. Only during EL, while we talk out loud with ourselves and listen to ourselves, do we get clear about the many fabrications our DL. 

 

The tranquility of EL is so wonderful, you won’t want to leave it. Although you’ll lose it again and again, you will look for it and find it, as you know, you will find it, by speaking with yourself and listening to yourself. You’ll go through whatever it takes, to have EL, because your LE – your ongoing EL – implies lasting tranquility. The times of despair are behind you, once you have acknowledged the enormous difference between your DL and EL. Your EL keeps steadily increasing, while your DL becomes less and less and, although you do, whatever it takes to make this happen, it feels as if this is happening by itself. Naturally, your EL keeps unfolding and showing, you are new, but you know, you do it, you have transformed.

 

Tranquility is a behavior, like breathing, which goes on with everything you do. During EL, your breathing, like your voice, is regular, deep and calm, but during DL, you hyperventilate, or you are holding your breath. Moreover, when you truly pay attention to how you sound in DL, you never like to hear the sound of your anger, fear, confusion, sadness, frustration or pretention.

 

With DL, we just don’t take the time, to enjoy our tranquility, but with EL, we finally allow ourselves to recognize and fully enjoy our own gracefulness. In principle, we can all see the beautiful sunset, hear the birds sing or smell the roses, but these effortless moments don’t register, because of our DL. When we, for the first time, discover the difference between our DL and EL, we are delighted, that we can pay attention to whatever asks our attention, as we can hear and feel, our ongoing EL deepens our tranquility.       

 

Dishonesty,

 

In each language there is a word for dishonesty. However, it isn’t – as we tend to believe, with our unnatural Disembodied Language (DL) – a person, who is honest or dishonest, but it is the kind of language, which is used, which is honest or dishonest. Our effortless Embodied Language (EL) is the language of honesty, but our usual, automatic, insensitive, effortful, energy-draining DL, is the language of dishonesty. Our DL and EL are different languages, like Italian and German.

 

Although, of course, it sounds ridiculous to say, that Italian is the language of lies, but German is the language of truth, within Italian, there is DL-Italian and EL-Italian and in German, there is DL-German as well as EL-German. We have not considered, let alone explored, these two very different patterns of behavior, that exist within each language, as such an undertaking requires that we stop our DL and engage in ongoing EL.

 

Res turpis is the Latin term for dishonesty. Res (noun), meaning, things, matter, business or reality, and turpis (adjective), meaning, ugly, filthy, foul, disgraceful or deformed. Other Latin words are: fraus (noun), fraud, deceit, trick, duplicity; improbitas (noun), depravity, badness, immorality, bad quality, rascality; inliberalitas (noun), dishonesty, unworthy conduct; improbitatis (noun), dishonesty. The thing to get from this writing, is that with DL, we simply cannot be honest. Moreover, trying to be honest, isn’t honesty. In EL, we are not trying to be honest, because we are honest.

 

Dishonesty – which, in our usual, unconscious, scripted way of talking, is viewed as the act or practice of being intentionally deceptive or not fully truthful in some way – is experienced very differently during DL or EL. The aforementioned description clearly derives from DL, because in EL, we would say, dishonesty is determined by a person’s inability to listen to the sound of his or her voice, while he or she speaks. Moreover, in EL, we don’t accuse anyone, who has DL of not listening to him or herself, as that would mean, we are again engaging in DL. However, in DL, we always accuse someone of being dishonest and, consequently, we continue with our DL, that is, we never become honest and engage in EL, as long as we still punish each other with our DL.

 

During DL, we endlessly attack the other person for his or her presumed dishonesty, because we assume, that they are intentionally deceiving or misleading us, by telling us lies, omitting parts of the truth or twisting the truth, but once we have EL, we realize – to our big surprise – that everyone – yes, everyone! – engages in DL unconsciously, and, therefore, unintentionally.

 

Once we recognize the immense difference between our DL and our EL, we acknowledge, we have been lying to ourselves and to others with our DL. Moreover, once we recognize the difference between our DL and our EL, we no longer want to have DL, as we prefer to have EL, so that we can recover from our dishonesty.

 

Another unaddressed aspect of why we can’t be honest as long as we engage in DL – which, as I have repeatedly stated in previous writings, is group-behavior – is that honesty, in our usual DL, is considered a key element of pro-sociality. In other words, our honesty is always directed at others, but not to ourselves. We overrate the importance of prosocial behavior, in which we intend to benefit others or society as a whole, because this means, we forget about ourselves.

 

Since we have never been able to address and fully understand – with our EL – the difference between DL and EL, we tend to exaggerate the importance of prosocial behavior and we are inclined to misjudge antisocial behavior, which, in essence, is a failed attempt, at caring about ourselves. With ubiquitous DL, we have never – yes, never (!) – been able to truly care about ourselves and this problematic inability, to care about ourselves, keeps us busy with others or with animals, to, presumably, care about them.

 

Many aspects of dishonesty are based on lies, which we have been told – and which we are currently told – about our so-called social behavior. While it surely is important, to have empathy and concern about the welfare and rights of others, to be cooperative and fair, it is quite another thing, to view the world through idealistic-pro-social-colored glasses. Make no mistake, the term pro-social has grown into a globalist-political-communistic movement, which preaches a world without borders, but is willing sacrifice, the hard-won freedoms of the individual. We have never experienced ongoing EL and we haven’t been taking good care about ourselves. Instead of working for social change and remaining busy with others, we must bring attention to ourselves, by speaking out loud with ourselves and by listening to ourselves. We only experience so-called psychological safety, if we can engage in ongoing EL, the language of our individuality, intelligence and honesty. Our usual DL is an outdated ancient group-behavior, which cultivates and perpetuates our dishonesty.       

 

Family,

 

The unit of every society – around the world – is still the family, not the individual. Although people have achieved individual freedoms, in  Western Democratic societies, these hard-won freedoms are evaporating, in front of their very eyes, because they have never acknowledged the difference between Disembodied Language (DL) – which can be called the language of the group or the family – and Embodied Language (EL) – which is the language of the individual.

 

Regardless of whether we are fortunate enough to live in a culture of so-called freedom or in an oppressive, autocratic or totalitarian culture, we all engage, unconsciously, in DL. Those, who live in ‘free’ societies are better off than those who are not, as only they can enjoy these individual freedoms. However, if we consider the negative effects of DL, they are just as much deprived as those, who don’t live in societies where there is individual freedom. The dumb language of the family – DL – still dominates every individual.  

 

Irrelevant of where one happens to be born or where one happens to live one’s life, human beings have behaved neurotically, pretentiously, problematically, mechanically and insensitively, while making it seem as if family-life is man’s ultimate achievement. It is no coincidence, that our unintelligent DL can be found everywhere and has never been properly addressed with EL.

 

The history of the noun family is interesting, in that it refers to obligation, lack of freedom and subservience. In the 15^th century family meant “servants of a household” from Latin familia “family servants, domestics collectively, the servants in a household” thus also “members of a household, the estate, property; the household including relatives and servants”, abstract noun formed from famulus “servant, slave.” In Latin, the word family rarely appears in the sense “parents with their children” for which “domus (see domestic, adj.) was used. Derivatives of famulus include famula “serving woman, maid”, famulanter “in the manner of a servant”, famulitas “servitude”, familiaris “of one’s household, private”, familiaricus “of household slaves”, familiaritas “close friendship” (from Online Etymology Dictionary).

 

Surely, it would, of course, be wonderful, if there could truly be, one big happy family, a family, that is characterized by happiness and harmony, but the unaddressed reality is, we are conditioned to have DL by our families. Our EL never really gets a chance, because it is treated as anti-social and punished. We were taught, in DL, that listening means: listening to others, but not listening to ourselves. To be able to listen to ourselves, we must talk with ourselves, to hear ourselves, but, in DL, talking only means: talking with others, but not, talking with ourselves. Said differently, in our family, we are taught to listen to authority outside ourselves, but no attention is given to speaking with ourselves and listening to ourselves. Such attention is only produced, if you talk with me, as no one with DL stimulates someone else to have EL, only someone with EL can do that. This is behaviorism 101: behavior is reinforced by its consequences. Someone with DL is incapable of reinforcing EL and, yes, only someone who has it can reinforce EL of others.

 

In every society, around the world, people have  been romanticizing about the presumed virtues of family-life. The fact, however, is that our EL could never emerge in our family. Moreover, it could only reveal itself to anyone, who is really sick and tired of the DL, which is perpetuated by our family. I myself was in that position and I was feeling very troubled for many years, as the only way to continue my EL, was to disconnect from my family, who seemed to drag me into DL again and again. It was for this reason, I didn’t want to create my own family, as I wanted to be able to pursue, what, according to me, no one has ever pursued, namely, his or her own ongoing EL.  

 

It runs in the family. Yes, DL runs in every family. These language traits are behaviors, which are passed from one generation to the next. If we are going to have EL, in the future, it will not be passed on by our family. The family’s focus on others is the biggest stand in the way for EL. EL is only for the individual, who can be alone with him or herself. Religious people retreated from their family, from societies, into monasteries, caves, mountains, forests or ashrams, but they have never considered the difference between their DL and EL, so that they could continue EL. They seek to undo the ties, which burden and bind, but they never succeed in going beyond their so-called mind, as they don’t acknowledge the language of dissatisfaction, which is our DL.

 

In spite of what people claim, the principles and beliefs of what even the best family considers to be important, the so-called family values, are a sure recipe for a life-long, self-undermining behavioral pattern. It is because DL was never addressed by our EL, we haven’t acknowledged this. These morals are emphasized, because, in reality, something is missing. Honesty, respect and a good sense of humor, don’t need to be addressed, if we are going to have ongoing EL.

 

The famous saying, family comes first, says it all. We have always sacrificed our individuality for our family. Although the family or the tribe was important to survive, in a modern free society, we urgently need to now abandon any kind of tribalism, if we want our culture of individual freedom to survive. This makes the difference between our DL and EL the quintessential issue of our time. When we keep prioritizing our family above all else, group behavior will triumph over individual behavior.

 

Unity is indeed crucial for a family’s survival. As the saying goes: a house divided cannot stand. But, how can we be at peace with each other, if we are not at peace with ourselves? Due to our unconscious DL, we make this so-called peace with others more important, than peace with ourselves. Although we may say: home is where the heart is, my heart is only beating in my own body. To feel my heart, I must speak with and hear myself. Supposedly, no matter where our life takes us, home is where the heart is, with our family, but this determines, that we are all over the place, which is what happens in DL.

 

Overrated family ties, kept through thick and thin, symbolize a chronic lack of boundaries. Tight-knit families are believed to be close and strongly united, but the reality is, everyone is enmeshed and into each other’s business. On the one hand, secrets can never stay secrets for very long, within the family, but, on the other hand, secrets of dysfunctionality and abuse are shamefully and guiltily hidden from outsiders. I was always treated as an outsider in my family, because I wanted EL.  If you like to hear me read this writing, go to my You Tube Channel: maximuspeperkamp-hw8sw

 

Connecting The Dots,

 

Besides, understanding something and piecing together hints and other bits of information, to see the relationship and to get a clearer picture of what is really happening, connecting the dots also simply refers to drawing a line between dots, as part of a children’s activity to create an illustration or design. Whenever we speak of connecting the dots, we are actually trying to refer to Embodied Language (EL), to the language which makes sense to us. However, since we don’t know anything about the difference between our Disembodied Language (DL) and our EL, we unknowingly try to connect the dots with DL – which, of course, doesn’t work – because we don’t know how to have EL, so we, basically, only pretend to have EL, while, in reality, we are engaging in DL.

 

Surely, to connect the dots requires that we must acknowledge the existence of both our DL as well as our EL. DL refers to our history of conditioning, our past, while EL always refers to our present and our future. Naturally, if our DL isn’t stopped, DL is our past, present and future and, whether we believe it or not, this is what DL has so far always been. Once we get started on EL, however, DL is only our past.

 

Although our conditioning history with DL, may rear its end again in the present, once we have come to know the great difference between our DL and EL, we know, that DL, expressed by our EL, is our past. Connecting the dots with our EL, we realize, that we have kept trying to express our problematic DL with our DL and this never resulted in EL, consequently, we kept projecting our DL into the future, no matter how convinced we were, we would put it behind us.

 

Unfortunately, connecting the dots is, due to our DL, considered as a strategic, cunning process, by which some specialistic, skillful, scripted communicators add so-called value to some organization. From this description it is immediately clear, we are dealing with a group-process and not with what serves the wellbeing of any one particular individual. In other words, connecting the dots, is usually explained as the cultivation of the habit or discipline of seeing – oddly, never of the hearing – of interconnections between issues, information, trends, which seem unrelated, because they have nothing to do with us. Connecting the dots, is the perfect way of avoiding our own issues and that is what we do with our DL.

 

By connecting the dots, we acquire knowledge, but we don’t develop self-knowledge, because we keep pretending, that our knowledge is more important than our missing self-knowledge. With EL, on the other hand, we acquire self-knowledge, which is embedded in scientific knowledge. Connecting the dots with EL, makes us realize that self-knowledge and scientific knowledge have to be related. As long as there is no connection, between our scientific knowledge and our so-called self-knowledge, we are bound to misuse our scientific knowledge, because our so-called self-knowledge is actually ignorance.

 

Another often-heard aspect about connecting the dots is that, presumably, it is a mind-set. Here, we make it seem, as if there is language going on inside our body, in our head. This is complete nonsense. There are no words to be found anywhere in our brain and there exists no mind or a mind-set, these are fictitious concepts. In DL, we cannot speak in the way we want to speak and are able to speak, therefore, we get carried away by the fantasy about private speech. There is no me, inside of me, who talks with him or herself, who reasons with him or herself. All of this is make-believe of DL. In EL, we listen to ourselves while we speak and that connects the dots, as we realize, the so-called speaker is, of course, the listener. There is neither a listener, who listens, nor a speaker, who speaks. These constructs are figures of speech, which, due to DL, we believe really exist. So, there is no mind, no thought, no self, no psyche, no personality, no ego, no being, no soul. There is only overt language – speaking, listening, reading or writing – and there is no covert language.

 

DL gave us the so-called communication strategists, who presumably connect the dots, by seeing things holistically. All of this is hogwash. All our famous, ridiculously called, ‘professional’ speakers, engage in DL, like everyone else. Even the highest educated professors, scientists, psychiatrists, psychologists or philosophers don’t know anything about ongoing EL and can at best sell us new wine in old bags. This is a parable from the Bible, which means new ideas or practices - EL - cannot be contained in old structures or traditions. Old wineskins - DL - are brittle and cannot handle the expansion of new wine, so both, the wine and the wineskins would be lost. For someone like me, who has EL, connecting the dots always means listening to myself while I speak.

 

Liberation,

 

In this writing, I write about May 5^th, which in my country origin, Holland, is celebrated, every year, as Liberation Day. It was due to the Allied Forces, consisting of brave, young American, Canadian and British troops, that the Dutch, who were almost starving to death, in what was known in the Netherlands as the Hunger Winter of 1945, were freed from the Germans or the Nazies. My father, who as a boy grew up in this horrible period, went through many traumatic experiences. While I was silently walking – myself as a boy – with him and hundreds of other people, on May Fifth, along the war memorial at the Waalsdorper Vlakte, where, in the beautiful Dunes, many people had been executed, I felt so very close to my father…

 

I use the Second World War as a metaphor to refer to Disembodied Language (DL) and the liberation from the brutal oppression, as a way to talk about Embodied Language (EL). During the occupation, you were still concerned with your DL, but shortly after the liberation, shortly after you finally noticed the immense difference between your DL and your EL, you were set free - by yourself - and you could finally enjoy your Language Enlightenment (LE) – who you really are – with your EL. You need some time, to recover from your captivity and from the torture and turmoil you have endured, but all that suffering and chaos is now completely behind you.

 

DL was never properly addressed and spoken about with EL. Radicalization of students at universities always takes place because of our DL, which is still, although nobody takes any note of it, the language of instruction everywhere. Something like this could never, ever have happened if we had EL together. And, this is a realistic, but not an idealistic view. We do it, or we don't do it and we can do it, or we can't do it yet and that's the beginning of our journey.  

 

With our unconscious DL, of course, nobody is ever going to be de-radicalized, as everything only keeps getting worse. The process by which a person or group increasingly develops views, that are at odds with, or totally opposed to, the democratic legal order, whether we want to believe it or not, has to do with our usual way of speaking. As a person or as a group, we attach – with DL – fewer and fewer consequences to our behavior, especially to our oral and written expressions. This is also encouraged by the anonymity provided by so-called social media.

 

Whenever we talk about polarization, extremism or terrorism, we are, unconsciously, talking about a way of speaking that produces and maintains those phenomena. We do not yet know anything about the difference between DL and EL and that is why we are completely unaware that the DL, which we deal with and are involved in every day, is the cause of everything, that is escalating over time, every time.

 

In EL, there is neither polarization nor escalation, as we are no longer running wild over and over again with our ridiculous belief in inner language, or in what we call us-them thinking . The so-called high level of tension between groups, happens because we, as participants of these groups, have lost our way with ourselves. When we can experience the transition from our DL to our EL, we experience, for the first time in our lives, the liberation from group behavior and, thus, our individual freedom. It is not polarization that led to radicalization, but it was DL.

 

Another feature of DL is extremism, in which a person or group knowingly breaks the law in order to presumably remain true to his or her identity or ideals. Extremism clearly involves breaking the law and constitutes a criminal offense. If we look at and listen to the origins from which these criminal acts come about, it has nothing to do with - as is often claimed - some writing, some theory, some dogma, but with how we speak and spoke with each other. As with polarization, extremism is the result of our common, never properly addressed, insensitive DL.

 

We will have to realize, at some

point in our lives, 

that the 

justification and underlying 

promise of DL, is a direct 

reference to the so-called

 liberation, that polarization,

 extremism or radicalization 

would supposedly give to us. 

This is of course a total lie, 

which DL has perpetuated, 

because it gave hope for 

something better, which 

was always in the future. 

The present moment, in 

which we have always 

continued to struggle with

 our DL, was always sacrificed

for the future, which never 

produced EL. However, anyone 

who speaks about DL with his

 or her EL, inevitably comes

 to the conclusion, that the

 possibility of our liberation

 was only a pipe dream, 

because genuine liberation

 - of the individual - can

 only take place, if he or

 she knows how to use

 his or her own language,

 in such a way, that his

 or her own experience 

is expressed correctly 

and satisfyingly.

 

Radicalization is the consequence of our DL, our unconscious, conditioned, effortful language, in which we, as individual speakers, do not listen to ourselves and are only concerned with always listening to others or trying to get them to listen to us, in some way. Naturally, radicalization is always a process in which years of compulsive DL have come to determine what our so-called sense of reality is. There is a recognizable pattern in which extremism,  radicalization and polarization will come about.

 

Simply put, everyone in DL, wants to get attention and everyone does whatever he or she can do to get the attention. It doesn't matter if commanding the attention from others happens with a pitiful victim role or with our grandiosity and arrogance, the fact remains, that in our ordinary way of speaking, there is always a struggle going on for attention, which must escalate, so it can become clear, who is the presumed winner and who is the presumed loser, who has the power - who is allowed to threaten others - and who must follow politely, obediently - who is apparently unimportant or unworthy and who has nothing to say, to whom no one listens. No conscious attention has ever before been given – with our ongoing EL – to the DL, which maintains the hierarchy or power-structure in every society. When we do that, immediate liberation takes place, because we no longer look up or down to others.

 

Our liberation from DL is

 only discernable to the 

extent that we are still 

getting used to our EL, 

because as soon as our 

EL starts to flow, we find

 our EL normal, but we 

then find our DL abnormal. 

Our LE, which initially, as

 EL continues, is something

 very wonderful and special, 

eventually becomes our 

everyday experience, where

every trigger for our DL, 

immediately effortlessly catches

 our attention and makes us 

tune into EL again. However, 

we are constantly aware, that 

our liberation from our DL, is 

achieved by us, by us alone, 

and that feels so good.

 

So, our liberation is celebrated not just once a year, on Liberation Day, but every day with EL. It is also of great importance, for those who automatically, out of conditioning, habitually carried on with their fear-based DL, to recognize that they - without ever being able to understand this before – spent all that time in hiding and were able to survive in that way. When they have EL, instead of DL, they come out of their hiding timidly and cautiously. Liberation with EL is overwhelming and almost unbelievable at first, but it is true. We are slowly, happily, getting used to it. 

   

 

Bevrijding,

 

Tijdens de bezetting, hield je je nog bezig met je Ontlichaamde Taal (OT), maar kort na de bevrijding, kort nadat je eindelijk het verschil bemerkte tussen je OT en je Belichaamde Taal (BT), werd je - door jezelf - vrijgelaten en kon je van je Taal Verlichting (TV) genieten met je BT. Je hebt tijd nodig om te herstellen van je gevangenschap en van de martelingen, die je hebt doorgemaakt, maar al het leed ligt nu geheel achter je.

 

OT is nog nooit benoemt en als zodanig samen met BT erkend. De radicalizering van studenten op universiteiten vindt altijd plaats vanwege OT, die ongemerkt overal nog steeds de voertaal is. Zoiets zou nooit of te nimmer hebben kunnen gebeuren, indien wij BT met elkaar zouden hebben. Dit is realistisch, maar niet idealistisch. We doen het, of we doen het niet en we kunnen het doen, of we kunnen het nog niet en daar is het begin. 

 

Met OT valt er uiteraard ook helemaal nooit iets te de-radicaliseren en wordt alles alleen maar erger. Het proces waarbij een persoon of groep in toenemende mate opvattingen ontwikkelt, die op gespannen voet staan met, of zelfs haaks staan op, de democratische rechtsorde, heeft, of we het nou willen geloven of niet, te maken met onze gebruikelijke wijze van spreken. Zowel als persoon of als groep verbinden wij dus in steeds mindere mate , consequencies aan ons gedrag, met name aan onze mondelinge en schriftelijke uitingen. Dit wordt eveneens in de hand gewerkt, door de anonimiteit van de zogenaamde sociale media.

 

Wanneer wij het hebben over polarisatie, extremisme of terrorisme, dan hebben wij het, onbewust, over een wijze van spreken, die die fenomenen voortbrengt en in stand houdt. Wij kennen het verschil nog niet tussen OT en BT en daarom hebben wij totaal niet in de gaten, dat de OT, waar wij ons dagelijks mee bezighouden, er de oorzaak van is, dat alles elke keer weer escaleert.

 

In BT is er geen enkele sprake van polarisatie of escalatie, omdat wij niet langer keer op keer op hol slaan door ons belachelijke geloof in het hebben van innerlijke taal, of in, wat wij dus geneigd zijn, om wij-zij-denken te noemen. Het zogenaamde hoog oplopen van spanningen tussen groepen, gebeurd, omdat wij, als deelnemers van deze groepen, de weg met onszelf kwijt zijn. Als wij de overgang van OT naar BT beleven, dan ervaren wij, voor het eerst, de bevrijding van de groep en onze individuele vrijheid. Het is niet polarisering, die tot radicalisatie leidt, maar OT.  

 

Een ander verschijnsel van OT is extremisme, waarin een persoon of groep bewust de wet overtreedt, om zogenaamd trouw te blijven aan zijn of haar idealen. Bij extremisme wordt dus heel duidelijk de wet overtreden en is er sprake van een strafbaar feit. Indien wij gaan kijken en luisteren naar de oorsprong vanwaaruit deze criminele handelingen tot stand komen, dan heeft dat helemaal niets te maken met – zoals vaak wordt beweerd – een of ander geschrift, maar met hoe er met elkaar werd en wordt gesproken. Net als bij polarisatie is ook extremisme het gevolg van onze gemeenschappelijk in stand gehouden en nog nooit eerder benoemde OT.

 

Ook zullen wij onszelf er ooit rekenschap van moeten geven, dat de rechtvaardiging en de achterliggende belofte van OT, een verwijzing is naar de zogenaamde bevrijding, die polarisatie, extremisme of radicalisatie ons zou gaan geven. Dit is natuurlijk een totale leugen, die OT in stand heeft gehouden, omdat het hoop gaf op iets beters, wat altijd in de toekomst zou liggen. Het moment van nu, waarin wij altijd met onze OT zijn blijven strijden, werd altijd opgeofferd voor de toekomst, die nooit BT heeft opgeleverd. Iedereen die hierover met BT weet te spreken, komt echter tot de conclusie, dat het ideaal van onze bevrijding slechts een lucht-kasteel was, omdat duurzame bevrijding – van het individu – slechts alleen kan plaats vinden, indien hij of zij, zijn of haar eigen taal op zodanige wijze weet te gebruiken, dat de eigen ervaring op de juiste wijze kan worden kenbaar gemaakt. 

 

Radicalisering is het onvermijdelijke gevolg van OT, onze onbewuste, geconditioneerde taal, waarin wij, als individuele spreker, niet naar onszelf luisteren en slechts bezig zijn, om altijd naar anderen te luisteren of om hen, op de een of andere manier, naar ons te doen luisteren. Uiteraard is de radicalisatie een proces, waarin jaren van dwangmatige OT, is gaan bepalen wat voor ons de zogenaamde werkelijkheid is. Er is dus wel degelijk een zeer herkenbaar patroon.

 

Simpel gezegd, wil iedereen in OT de aandacht krijgen en doet iedereen wat hij of zij kan, om die aandacht te krijgen. Het maakt niet uit, of we nou aandacht van anderen afdwingen met onze erbarmelijke slachtoffer’s rol of met onze grandiositeit en arrogantie, het feit blijft, dat in onze gewone wijze van spreken, er altijd sprake is van een strijd om de aandacht, die wel moet escaleren, zodat kan blijken, wie de winnaar en wie de verliezer is, wie dus de macht heeft – en wie anderen mag bedreigen – en wie beleefd, gehoorzaam moet volgen – wie dus schijnbaar onbelangrijk of onwaardig is en wie niets te vertellen heeft – waarnaar niemand luistert. Er is nog nooit bewuste aandacht gegeven – vanuit onze voortgaande BT – aan de OT, die in iedere maatschappij, de hierarchie in stand houdt. Als wij dat doen, vindt er onmiddelijke bevrijding plaats, omdat wij niet meer op of neer kijken naar anderen.

 

Onze bevrijding van OT is alleen waarneembaar voor zoverre wij nog aan het wennen zijn aan onze BT, want zodra onze BT begint door te stromen, dan vinden wij onze BT heel normaal, maar OT vinden we dan abnormaal. Ook onze TV, die in de eerste instantie, bij het voortgaan van onze BT, iets heel wonderlijks en bijzonders is, wordt, op den duur, onze alledaagse ervaring, waarbij iedere wending naar OT ons direct en zonder enige moeite opvalt en ons weer op BT doet afstemmen. Wij zijn ons er echter voortdurend van bewust, dat onze bevrijding van de OT, door ons wordt bewerkstelligd en dat voelt zo goed.

 

Onze bevrijding wordt dus niet slechts een keer per jaar, maar iedere dag gevierd met onze BT. Ook is het voor hen, die automatisch, vanuit de conditionering, gewoonte-getrouw, verder zijn gegaan met hun op-angst-gebaseerde OT, van enorm groot belang, om eindelijk eens te erkennen, dat ze – zonder dat ze dit ooit eerder konden begrijpen – eigenlijk al die tijd ondergedoken hebben gezeten en zo hebben kunnen overleven. Bij het hebben van BT, in plaats van OT, komen zij heel schuchter en voorzichtig weer voor de dag, uit hun schuilplaats. Onze bevrijding met BT is eerst overweldigend en bijna niet te geloven, maar het is echt waar en langzaam wennen wij eraan.

 Tsunami,

 

Tsunami is a word from Japan. It breaks down in two words tsu and nami, meaning, harbor and wave. Such a large, destructive wave is usually caused by a disturbance in the ocean, such as an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption. A tsunami consists often as wave train, a series of waves. Figuratively, tsunami is used to describe a large, generally, unstoppable surge. In Japan, as in many other countries, they talk about the grey tsunami, the global and quantum increase of the aged population, due to low birth rates.   

 

Throughout history, tsunamis have left a significant impact on coastal communities around the world. Early civilizations attributed these catastrophic events to supernatural causes or mystical creatures, such as monsters or angry gods. It wasn’t until more recent times that scientific explanations occurred. Similarly, our understanding of forceful or overwhelming events – wars, famines or pandemics – shifted from mystical to more truthful explanations.

 

The tsunami of public outrage, over the war Israel is fighting with Hamas in Gaza, however, isn’t what caused the tsunami of antisemitism, that is currently raging on college and university campuses around the country. Although there is   Marxist’ indoctrination going on in education, the constant hammering, by the right, on this issue, in and of itself, proves it doesn’t really address the workings of the propaganda and, particularly, of the language, which is involved. Simply stated, social media, with its so-called algorithms, has created this tsunami of hatred.  

 

When using tsunami in a non-literal sense – to address, the negative emotional wave, that is at this moment sweeping across our nation - it is crucial to provide appropriate context to avoid confusion or misinterpretation. Such a context is, of course, never provided by our biased, ridiculously outdated narratives, which I call Disembodied Language (DL), but is produced only by our Embodied Language (EL), which is not beholden to any already existing explanations, theories or dogmas.

 

Remember – although many ignorant people, for a long time, believed in it – the real tsunami was never caused by any mystical, imaginary force. The metaphorical tsunami of colliding religious beliefs, Judaism versus Islam or Right Wing versus Left Wing Politics, is also not caused by God, Allah or by this or that political leader, but by the DL, that is used by all people. The context, to understand rationally what is happening – emotionally – can only be provided by our non-religious, non-political EL. Stated differently, what we are really up against, is the tsunami of DL, which has devastated mankind.

 

Once we are clear, that our DL – our emotional, habitual, distorted, superstitious, unnatural, ineffective way of dealing with our language – is and has always been, the biggest threat to peace – whether it is within the family, within society or among different groups and nations –  we adopt a truly rational, realistic perspective about language, as we engage in ongoing EL.

 

In the context of the Freedom of Speech, which is still guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, it is very interesting, to stop and consider, the sad fact, that currently, the former president of the United States, is being prosecuted, because he speaks. While violent felons and criminals are let out of jail, Trump is slammed with a gag-order, because he addresses and exposes the corruption, which is going on due to our DL. Unless we address our DL, there is never going to be any reasonable, mutually-beneficial, practical and satisfying EL.

 

I can’t emphasize often enough, that our usual, by everyone-accepted, expected, exaggerated, emotionally-overwhelming way of talking is DL. It is proper to contrast the verbal acrobatics of DL – which plays out as an insidious battle of words, fought by lawyers, who are merely filling their own pockets, in courts around the world – as an emotional event, with our ongoing EL as a much-needed, rational, scientific phenomenon.

 

Once we are able to have ongoing EL – instead of a few, brief, accidental haphazard moments of it – we are no longer carried away by our false sentiments, as we are reasonable, mature, sensible people. EL will reveal our Language Enlightenment (LE), which is to be understood as our ability to keep our negative emotions in check. During DL, by contrast, our emotions get out of control, and this is why, DL-speakers force the listeners to listen. Our DL always negatively steers us, it overwhelmingly strikes fear in us and dysregulates us. The calamitous wave, the DL-tsunami – which is going to continue to destroy the harbor, which symbolizes who we really are – cannot be stopped, unless we know how to stay safe with our EL. Our EL goes further than survival, as it makes it possible for us to thrive and celebrate our LE, which is who we really are.
