Mind,

 

I’ve spent many years studying psychology. I’ve worked for many years in mental health, and I’ve taught psychology many years as an associate faculty. Presumably, psychology is the study of the human mind, and is the basis for many forms of mental health treatment, particularly, psychotherapy. If that isn’t vague enough for you, psychology is said to play a role in our behaviors, emotions, relationships, personality and much more. I don’t believe in the existence of a mind, as there is no inner language, so the only thing to really study is, how we talk about our experiences. This is what I have done and continue to do and why, unlike most people, I can continue with my Embodied Language (EL) and experience my Language Enlightenment (LE). 

 

There is also no such thing as mental health, as there is either a healthy way of dealing with our language – EL – or an unhealthy way of dealing with our language, which is our unintelligent, common, insensitive, unnatural Disembodied Language (DL), we habitually engage in every day. Once we hone in on how we deal with our language, it is very apparent, that there is no such thing as mental or emotional wellbeing, as we are only concerned about the big difference between our incorrect or our correct use of our language. EL is the correct use of our language, in which we listen to ourselves, while we speak and describe our experiences in a coherent and satisfying manner, but DL is the incorrect use of our language, in which we are not listening to ourselves, while we speak and are incapable of matching our language with our experience. In DL, there is conflict between our experiences and our own description of our experiences.    

 

Once we listen to ourselves, while we speak and engage in EL, instead of our usual DL, it’s done with our ridiculous talk about the mind, which supposedly, is a special place, because it thinks. The illusion of private covert speech of conversing with and listening to our so-called inner being, inevitably, includes the false notion, that our illusive mind can be distinct from our brain and that we have, besides an inner self, a spiritual soul, which is directing our behavior. In EL, we discover, how deeply problematic these unrealistic concepts are, as they derive from DL.

 

I hope you don’t mind I don’t have a mind. Actually, I don’t hope it, because I know, I don’t have a mind and you don’t have a mind either. I repeat, there are, 100% certain, no sentences or words anywhere inside of us. This is just the way in which we talk about stuff. If you still can’t accept this truth – by the way, this goes along the curved lines, that the earth is not flat, but round – why does everything you, so to speak, got on your mind, disappear, the moment you say it? It was never there in the first place and saying what you were supposedly thinking, shows, your language is an overt – and not a covert – phenomenon. Let’s cut through the crap and never mind your so-called mind.

 

Why don’t you just say it, hear it, experience it and realize, once and for all, that when you are getting clear about your EL, by talking out loud with yourself and by listening to the sound of your voice, that there is no mind? It isn’t fear, which is holding you back, but an unconscious ancient habit of not listening to yourself, while you speak. To you, listening means: listening to someone else or making someone else listen to you, but in DL, listening doesn’t mean, speaking with yourself and listening to yourself about the things you can say about your own experiences. The DL-concept of listening to others, makes deal with language incorrectly, because you are always busy with others, never with yourself.

 

If you do the necessary work, experimentation and reinterpretation – of everything, which you previously viewed from your DL perspective, to your new, exciting, energizing, revealing EL-way of perceiving, of listening to yourself –  you will have to admit, it isn’t me, who said you don’t have a mind or inner conversation, but it is you, who, at long last, got in touch with yourself, as you switched from DL to EL and acknowledged, that EL has nothing to do with having any belief.

 

Probably, you still don’t get the important point I am making. Let me rephrase what I have just said, so my words get through to you. Surely, there is no such thing as a mind to get through, as there is only observable language, which you can see and read and hear and experience. Yes, there is no inner speech, and you only imagine, you have millions of thoughts. All you need to do, is simply say to yourself, there are no words inside of me and then, whatever you were concocting, it stops, it disappears, because it is true. Yes, your EL only continues, if who you believe to be is no longer of any concern to you. And, yes, you can only be yourself, if you don’t have any idea of who you are. Stated differently, you are, indeed, a nobody, although you are totally yourself in EL.

 

Again and again, you keep claiming – with DL, with your horrible-sounding voice, which keeps your fanatic, tragic, pathetic belief in your mind going – to be somebody. If, however, you would continue to speak, alone, out loud with yourself and listen to yourself, you would hear it too, but that’s not what you do. Instead, you only want to find fault in me and, yes, with your mediocre, little, miserly experience and understanding of EL, you would like to accuse me of having DL. I acknowledge, I don’t always have EL, as DL can only be understood as DL, while it is happening. I’m not speaking about hypotheticals, DL is a real thing. You are stuck with it, while I’m not.

 

You don’t know, there was a fantastic scientific development happening, called Radical Behaviorism, which was distracted from, ignored and banned from academia, in favor of what is known as the cognitive revolution, in which mind is the golden calf. Noam Chomsky and other America-hating communist-activists produced the total woke mess the United States is in today, in which no one has any scientific clue about how behavior – without a fictitious inner behavior-causing self – actually works. As I have stated, the DL/EL distinction is grounded in Behaviorism and Behaviorology, in the one and only science of human behavior.

 

My ongoing EL allows me to say and connect many things, which you have always wanted to say, but could never say, with your unintelligent, unconscious, superstitious, insensitive, harsh, coercive, automatic, sentimental DL. You, with your so-called mind, are not only pretending, you know EL better than me, with your phony, arrogant, superficial, esoteric DL, but you are also jealous, that I’m able to say, what you had wanted to say. It is not me, who is your enemy, but you are your own enemy, with your belief in your mind, which is maintained by your DL. This so-called mind of yours is the product of your problematic DL, which makes you do all kinds of things, you don’t want to do. Your entire life is a meaningless, stressful, conflicted event, which is the result of your boring DL. Moreover, what you defend as yours, isn’t anything worthwhile and ongoing EL makes that very clear to you.

 

With DL, you remain forever in the dark about yourself and waste time and energy on fruitless enquiries regarding the body/mind question or the nature/nurture debate. Another enigma is consciousness. Presumably, there is a great deal of subconsciousness or unconsciousness going on, but with ongoing EL, you will find out, these are references, to what you don’t allow yourself to say, but what you can and should say, to yourself. With your miserable DL, you miss out on what matters to you. Your denial of your needs goes always hand in hand with your obsession with fake-needs, which make you chase the dragon and pursue and achieve goals, which cannot make you happy, satisfied, lively, confident, peaceful, truthful and grateful.

 

You moan and whine, because you don’t have what you supposedly want, because others, presumably, are preventing you. The fact is, you are always experiencing the consequences of what you have done or haven’t done. You stop yourself from having EL and therefore, cannot experience the positive consequences of using your language to your advantage. You do the opposite, and you don’t even realize, that you actually use your language against your own experience, as you foolishly believe, language happens in your so-called mind, involuntarily.

 

In DL, you don’t know who you are or what you are doing to yourself – and you can’t go on with EL, even if you have tasted its beauty – because you are too far gone, to admit how bad your life is. Your DL is like an addiction, you can’t stop, although you know, your life and health are getting ruined. You can easily disconnect from me and hate me for noticing, what you are doing and for being everything you would like to be. I don’t have a mind that is bothering me, but you believe you do.          

 Justice,

 

After you have talked with yourself and listened to yourself and have experienced the difference between your effortful, unnatural, unconscious Disembodied Language (DL) – in which you do not listen to yourself, while you speak – and your effortless, natural, conscious Embodied Language (EL) – in which you listen to yourself, while you speak – you will stop your DL and then, be able to continue with your EL. The justice of our ongoing EL, is what I describe as your Language Enlightenment (LE). Your LE is about your ability to share your EL with others.

 

Nothing about your ongoing EL is accidental, which means, it only occurs, because it can occur. The absence of your EL, always implies the presence of your DL, because EL and DL are mutually exclusive. Stated differently, your DL or EL, like other behavior, is lawful, that is, it occurs, because it is reinforced. Obviously, your DL occurs at a very high response-rate, because it is reinforced – rather than triggered – all the time, whereas, your EL happens, at best, at a very low response-rate, since it is not socially reinforced and thus, almost entirely dependent on your ability to self-stimulate. Surely, only someone, who knows about the big difference between your DL and your EL, can reinforce your EL. I am that person. Justice comes from Latin iustus, which means upright, righteous, equitable; in accordance with law, lawful; true, proper; perfect, complete, related to Spanish justo or Italian giusto. Ius means right, especially, legal right, as in jurist, jury and injury; also, iustum, which means, what is right or just. Since my EL is ongoing, my other behavior is in tune with my EL and any old behavior, I still might have, due to my conditioning history with DL, subsides. 

 

After someone has, somewhat, acknowledged the immensely important difference between their own DL and their own EL, they are bound to interpret their first few steps in EL, in terms of what they have come to know with their DL. In other words, they merely experience a brief reprieve from their DL and quickly revert back to it again, as they try defending their old beliefs. It is 'mind-blowing', that during EL all our beliefs dissolve, as the entire phony concept of inner language has been exposed and understood.

 

Sadly, most people have absolutely no clue at all about the lawfulness of our behavior, because in academia as well as in science, Behaviorism and Behaviorology, were never given the credit they deserve. Everything I say and do is based on my behavioristic knowledge. Our DL and EL are two observable, universal, cross-species, response classes, which are elicited by auditory or vocal stimuli. It has been a great journey for me to be able to interpret the DL/EL distinction in terms of B.F. Skinner’s Radical Behaviorism and L. Fraley’s Behaviorology.

 

It was, surprisingly, a behaviorist from my country of origin, the Netherlands, who fully endorsed my work. In the various wonderful conversations, I was fortunate to have with Bart Bruins, it was instantly clear, that my work matched with the Theory Of Dominant Active Avoidance from Beata Bakker-de-Pree, who, had lived and worked, without me ever knowing about it, in my hometown The Hague. Simply stated, there are three basic behaviors: Approach (A), Escape (E) and Active Avoidance (AA). The proportion of these three behaviors, for a psychologically ‘healthy’ person, is perhaps something like 10A:5E:85AA. What this means, is that most of our behavior has to involve Active Avoidance of anything that is threatening to us. Escape behavior is kept as small as possible, because evolutionary speaking – and that is what I am talking about – it is the costliest, as we may, inadvertently, approach danger, from which we have to flee, or we die. Ideally speaking, we only approach something, which is beneficial to us. So, as Bart has acknowledged, EL is the approach behavior, which is based on Dominant Active Avoidance.

 

I hope Bart Bruins is still around and that he reads this, because his recognition of my work, has meant a great deal to me. It was only after I had withdrawn from my PhD-candidacy at Palo Alto University and had moved back to Chico, that I had time to read and study behaviorist’ research. I still insist, behaviorism as well as behaviorology – which you can read about in my elaborate earlier writings on this blog – have played a big role in the crystallization of what I now describe as the DL/EL distinction. Unfortunately, besides my sincere conversations with Bart Bruins, behaviorists were not interested in my work, as I continued with my EL and didn’t want to get involved in their stupid, unscientific DL. This, sadly, also applied to the behaviorologist L. Fraley, who wrote a fantastic book: “About Science, Life and Reality”, which I highly recommend, but who didn’t want talk with me. EL is needed to talk about behaviorology, which, even more so than behaviorism isn’t accepted in academia. Apparently, Fraley, like so many others, are more interested in writing, than in speaking. Over-emphasis on written language and the underestimation of spoken language is the main characteristic of DL, going on everywhere. It is understandable, we want to avoid DL, based on the theory of Dominant Active Avoidence... 

 

To finish this writing, I now return to the issue of justice.  As you should already know, justice can only be served with EL. There always will be injustice with DL. We shouldn’t even call it injustice, but ineffective use of our language, as when we don’t listen to ourselves while we speak, we unknowingly dissociate from our own experiences. The justice of ongoing EL doesn’t favor anyone. No one is accused of any wrongdoing in EL, as we describe our DL as truly it is. All of our conflicts and problems were created and maintained by our DL. Once our DL stops, all of our problems stop and then we will be able to continue our EL and experience our LE. This is true justice, that we can finally be who we really are.                 

 Anger,

 

A long time ago, I had one very pleasant skype conversation with the famous neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp. I had studied his book “Affective Neuroscience” and I felt compelled, to get in touch with him. Unlike so many other people, I had tried in vain to contact, I was surprised, to get to talk with him. I remember him saying, at the end of our wonderful conversation: “Keep raking the fields of Affective Neuroscience.”

 

Panksepp agreed, that his views about primary emotional systems, perfectly dovetailed with my description of the great difference between Disembodied Language (DL) and Embodied Language (EL). These two cross-species ways of expressing affect, contain our negative and positive emotions. These negative and positive feelings, are, of course, audible in the sound of our voice while we speak. Thus, if we listen, we can hear what someone is feeling. Naturally, we can also fake our feelings, but we can detect that too.

 

The big difference between our DL and our EL, is that in DL, we don’t listen to ourselves, while we speak, that is, we just don't want or like to hear it, but during EL, we listen to ourselves, while we speak, because we like and want to hear it. Our autonomic nervous system responds very differently, when we experience negative or positive emotions. During episodes, in which we experience RAGE/Anger, FEAR/Anxiety or PANIC/Sadness, our body has what is known as a fight/flight/freeze response, but when we have positive affect, such as SEEKING/Expectancy, CARE/Nurturing, PLAY/Social Joy and LUST, these evolutionary mobilization responses to a threat are absent and we are in the ideal state to communicate.

 

The word emotion comes from Latin “emovere”, which means, to move. Therefore, to feel, is to do something, because our emotions motivate us into action, to both survive and thrive. Since we are predominantly engaging in DL, however, we are almost permanently busy with surviving, with negative affect, but seldom with thriving, with EL, with positive emotions. We can only thrive and experience meaningful interaction or EL, in which we listen to ourselves – and, therefore, to each other – in the absence of any threat.

 

Simply stated, anger is a biological response, which prepares us to fight. The big mistake inevitably made, by people, who don’t know anything about the difference between DL and EL, is in DL, we believe, we can fight injustice by changing the laws or by enforcing new norms. However, all our endless arguments, discussions, debates or disputes prevent EL and will have to be stopped entirely, before we can finally have ongoing EL.

 

Honoring our anger – by taking the time, to talk  out loud, alone, with ourselves; by describing to our best ability, what it is that is demanding our attention; by listening to the sound of our own voice; by switching from DL to EL – is important for our health and wellbeing. There are so many things, we can become angry about, but with our unconscious DL, we never fully understand, why we keep being so angry. Only if we stop our DL – since we really don’t like to hear the sound of our own voice – our anger subsides, because we consciously decrease our involvement in DL and deliberately increase our involvement in EL.

 

Due to my discovery of the difference between my own DL and EL, I have found, that the most difficult thing about dealing with my anger was, that because of my mechanical involvement in DL, I felt angry, upset and anxious about being angry. In DL, we are always shamed for our anger. Once we begin to have ongoing EL, however, we realize, we have – in DL – always been punished for being angry. In EL, we come to grips with our anger, as we realize, that it was justified and necessary. While it may have been troubling, our anger was and is blessing in disguise, a form of protection. Moreover, with EL, we don’t find inner, but outer peace, as our relations change, in that, we only engage with those with whom we can have EL.

 Lying Joe Biden,

 

In Disembodied Language (DL) – which is our usual way of talking – everyone is constantly lying. We may be able to easily recognize this in others, for instance in Joe Biden, but we don’t realize, we are doing it ourselves. Since we are all conditioned to lie and don’t know, that, we need to listen to ourselves, while we speak, in order to be able to be truthful and engage in Embodied Language (EL), we, inadvertently, keep blaming others for what we do ourselves.

 

In yesterday’s interview with Left-wing-windbag Lester Holt, who always speaks with a forceful, draining, emphatic, phony voice, Joe Biden got very testy, because the interviewer dared to ask him some questions, he didn’t like to answer. Discussing the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Joe Biden was asked, if he found it acceptable, he still had not heard, publicly, from the Secret Service Director? He answered: “Oh, I’ve heard of him.” However, the Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, is a woman. Lester Holt, in vain, then tried to save his white master’s flabby ass, by rephrasing the question and asked him “Have you heard from her publicly?” Joe Biden instantly looked troubled, as if he had pooped in his pants. He knew he had embarrassed himself, but, like Poopy Goldberg, who is really full of shit, no way, he was going to admit that, so he said: “Publicly, I’ve sat down in the Situation Room downstairs – the Secret Service, the FBI, the national security agencies, Homeland Security – all the major elements.” It would be quite a story, that Joe Biden doesn’t even know the director of the Secret Service is a woman, but slavish morons, like Lester Holt, are only on TV to enable and deceive, but not to inform. Surely, Lester Holt could have said to Joe Biden: “But, what do you mean, Mister President, you heard from him? The director is a woman?” Do you get the picture, we are all in it together, in DL? And this is just one of the many lies, we keep telling each other and ourselves. Hilarious shit, isn’t it?

 

Another funny example of someone, who, like Joe Biden, also has problems getting older and uglier, is the hairless, fully painted, pretending to be a white woman, Joy Reed from MSNBC. She doesn’t even seem to realize, that she and her twisted-clown-sisters, Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki, were, of course, only invited to the Republican National Convention (RNC), to expose themselves, for the frauds they really are and to entertain the audience. These three despicable women are the purveyors of violence on the Left, by calling for the elimination of Donald Trump. They are as good as anyone with DL, who blames someone else’s DL. This is what everyone does, whether they know it or not, admit it or not or, are aware of it or not.

 

Remember, reader, this writing is not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump or the Left or the Right. It is about you, with your DL. You haven’t listened to yourself, while you spoke and discovered your EL. If you had done that, you would talk with me or with other people, who have EL, but where the hell are they? Everyone engages, unknowingly, in DL. Even Joy Reed reads from a script, but if she steps out of line and would actually say what she would like to say, she will lose her job. Cancel culture is haunting this old hag and she probably has sleep paralysis. They call this Old-Hag-Syndrome, when a terrified person wakes up without being able to move or speak. All she can do is anxiously hang onto the script she wrote, to make it seem as if she knows. In EL, such fear is non-existent. To the contrary, in EL, we, voluntarily, become quiet, as we have said what we wanted to say. In DL, by contrast, we are involuntary, unconsciously, effortfully and unnaturally forcing ourselves to say things – if we would listen to how we sound – we don’t like to hear and don’t want to say.

 

In closing, it should be very clear – thank you, my favorite rag-doll, with funny-dismissive voice and nodding-and-turning bobble-head, Karine Jean-Pierre, for making me so happy, every time I use that word – that if you want to have EL, you will have to give up on all the lies that are promoted by Left-wing political idiots. Unless you begin to see yourself as a free, responsible, accountable individual, there is only going to be the outdated group-behavior, called DL for you. EL fits with the Right, but not with the Left. EL is about the future of mankind, in which everyone is true to themselves, because our language fits with our behavior and our experiences.             

 Different Tone,

 

In response to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Joe Biden gave a fake-campaign speech. He read another meaningless text, which was written for him - not by him - from the teleprompter. Bottom-line is, Joe Biden, of course, knows damn well, he bears responsibility for this escalation, which he has helped to create. Now his hateful adds have suddenly been stopped.  

 

Instead of calling Donald Trump a dictator and a fascist or telling the nation – as he did the other day – “We’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye”, we are now supposed to believe “it’s time to cool it down.” What demented Joe Biden, who makes things up, even while reading something from a piece of paper, clearly meant to say was “It’s time to put Trump in the cross-hears”, which means visible in one’s gunsight. Oddly, the correct expression is hitting the bullseye, which means hitting the center of a target.

 

Naturally, Joe Biden is relieved, attention is no longer going to his malfunctioning presidency. His handlers let him read from a script, in which he downplays the attack on Donald Trump and distracts the audience’s attention, by rambling on about attacks on other political figures. And, then he says “In America we resolve our differences at the battle box” instead of the ballot-box.

 

This foolish, stubborn, vindictive man - who, let's not forget, in the past, has even said, he wanted to take Donald Trump behind-the-barn, for a fistfight - now, pretends to be a mature parent, who speaks to the nation in a rare Oval Office appearance “we all have a responsibility” to tone it down, to speak in a way, which isn’t resulting in violence. Really? 

 

Surely, Joe Biden wasn’t talking about the great difference between Disembodied Language (DL) and Embodied Language (EL), but this instance is an example of how – in DL – we deal with the problems, which are created by DL. Presumably, what Joe Biden is saying is: let’s not have any more DL, but EL, but that is not what is happening.

 

Interestingly, all fear-hate-mongering race-baiting pundits are talking now about the presumed need for a change in the tone of our 'conversation', as if they know, the difference between DL and EL, is about how we sound. Nothing is further away from the truth. People talk about DL with more of the same DL. There is no end to the conflicts and problems, unless DL stops. This is only achieved if we begin to talk with our EL about our DL.

 

Joe Biden is calling for unity, after nine years of hatred, lies and attacks. He is the arsonist, who pretends to be the fire marshal. Like Hamas, he calls for a cease fire, but he seeks to destroy. Like other Marxist leaders, Joe Biden has no qualms, about making even the people of his own party collateral damage, to keep himself in power. He views – or at least presents – himself as special, but, ironically, members of his own communist party are eager to throw him under the buss, which probably is going to happen... eventually... anyway... 

 

Anyone, who is a true American, freedom-loving patriot knows, that the so-called ‘high road’ is dead-end. It makes no sense to pretend, DL is EL. Yet, DL is identified correctly as DL only, when we can have ongoing EL. For now, the difference between our DL and EL is as unknown on the Right as on the Left, but the Right is beginning to wake up to EL, the language of our individual freedom.

 

There is no room for compromise between DL and EL, because we either engage in one or the other. I call on all the people on the Right, to talk with me about EL, so we can stop pussyfooting about DL. The Left wants to make it seem, as if the crazy shooter was a ‘republican’, to label all those who support Donald Trump as domestic terrorists. Yes, they are trying to make it seem, as if they are having EL, but they are having DL. The Left has been inciting violence, by calling all the Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters Nazis, white supremacists, Hitler and a threat to democracy, but they have never addressed their own DL. They try to blame MAGA for their own DL.

 

Everything that has happened was preceded by our way of talking. Also, everything that is going to happen, will be determined by whether we engage in DL or in EL. Once we have ongoing EL, we know, all misery, all conflict, all atrocity, that has happened, was due to DL – which was never addressed with EL – because we have never had any ongoing, deliberate, conscious, skillful EL. While we may live in Western Democratic societies in the 20th century, millions of people have been killed – in China, USSR, Iran, North Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, Syria – by their own governments, who are all against the freedom of the individual. I predict that unless we learn to have ongoing EL and address our DL, the so-called ‘free’ world will turn again into tyranny...it is already happening...         

 Donald Trump Almost Got Killed,  

 

I am so relieved Donald Trump survived this almost successful assassination attempt. We need him more than ever. I can’t imagine, what would have happened, if he would have died. I am afraid, all hell would then have broken lose and we would be having some kind of civil war.

 

The incendiary, openly-hateful manner, in which so many left-wing cooks, TV presenters, actors, officials and politicians have been speaking about Trump, over the last couple months, have led up to this escalation of violence. I describe  this totally unhinged rhetoric – in which Trump is repeatedly described as and compared with Adolf Hitler – as Disembodied Language (DL).

 

You may not believe me, but DL is the way of speaking, in which you, as speaker, don’t listen to yourself, while you speak. Moreover, DL has never been properly addressed with Embodied Language (EL) – in which you, as speaker, listen to yourself, while you speak – and is, therefore, going on in every society, around the world. The difference between DL and EL reveals to us the real reason, why human beings can’t get along.

 

You hear many people, on the left, talk about the need to ‘lower-the-temperature’, but it is the left, who continues to incite violence, not the right. It is the always the left and never the right, which is instigating: raging, antisemitic, pro-Hamas, anti-America protests; George Floyd-BLM-riots; shops being looted; judges not prosecuting criminals; harassment of Supreme Court justices; anti-fascist-demonstrations, in which statues and monuments are defaced; the fact, that millions of illegals can just walk in; the nihilism, which suggests, that we cannot fix our problems in our social institutions, which need to be torn and so we can start over; law-fare or legal action, as part of a campaign against the political opponent; need for chaos, as a path to gain status and power, by  calling for the overthrow and the destruction of established order…just to name a few…

 

Although the difference between DL and EL is as unknown, on the left, as on the right side of the political spectrum, it is absolutely clear, the left – and not the right - is repeatedly willing to justify and endorse violence as a means to force their ideology. Moreover, while the right is in favor of the protection of individual freedom, merit, responsibility, accountability and family, the left is constantly on the attack, screaming, basically, like little children, demanding things to go their way. The left is against the family and supporting grooming and indoctrination of children with fake-transgender-identity. Anyone with any awareness about the difference between DL and EL can hear and see, DL fits more with the left, while EL fits with the right.

 

I obviously use this attack on the life of Trump, to let people know, we urgently need to begin to address the DL/EL distinction. Furthermore, it should be noted, DL always escalates. This is the history of mankind. DL and the wars, which are – unconsciously – justified by our usual way of talking, have continued unabated, because we haven’t addressed the quintessential issue of our time: everything we do is determined by how we talk. Once our way of talking changes, all our other behavior begins to change. This is not some spiritual, psychological, philosophical,  cultural fantasy, but a scientific phenomenon.

 

As a new American, who was fortunate to have immigrated from the Netherland in 1999, I have slowly, but surely, become politically aware. In the Netherlands, I never paid much attention to politics, but my views were mostly left leaning, determined by how I grew up and had been educated. My Catholic father, who grew up during the occupation of the Germans, was traumatized by this experience. When Holland was liberated by the Allied Forces, in 1945, he had survived, as a child, the Hunger Winter. The rebuilding of Dutch society – with the help of the Marshall plan – set the stage for his limited education, marriage, immediate employment, the creation of a family of three sons and three daughters and a labor-socialist political view. 

It wasn’t until recently, I began to make sense of politics, in terms of how it relates to DL and EL. My unequivocal conclusion is that EL is truly the language of mankind’s future, because it is the ultimate expression of individual freedom. No amount of virtue-signaling, about the need to presumably protect democracy, convinces me, that the left’s cancel-culture is in favor individual freedom, which is a core principle of the American way of life. No, it is Donald Trump and those MAGA republicans, who support him. I am proud to be one. Please also check out my videos on my two You Tube channels maximuspeperkamp-hw8sw and Maximus Peperkamp. Hear me talk and sing.     

 Language Discrimination,

 

While reading about bilingualism – I speak and write in Dutch and English – I came across the term Language Discrimination (LD), which occurs when a person is treated differently because of that person’s native language or other characteristics of that person’s speech. Of course, such different treatment is always negative. For instance, in an employment situation, an employee may be subjected to LD if the workplace has a speak-English-only policy, but the employee’s primary language is something other than English. In this case, the employee may be a victim of LD, if he or she is treated less favorably than other employees, because he or she speaks English with an accent or if the employee is told, he or she does not qualify for a position due of a lack of English proficiency. Also, outside the work situation LD may happen when a person is denied access to business or government services because he or she doesn’t speak English. In California, where I live, LD is considered a form of discrimination, on the bases of race or national origin.

 

As I have often stated, I consider the immensely important difference between our Disembodied Language (DL) and Embodied Language (EL), as the difference between languages, because, in terms of acquiring EL, the same principles of learning apply. Both DL as well as EL, exist only to the extent that they are reinforced and the very reason, that DL is happening everywhere, but that EL only happens very seldom, briefly, and unconsciously, show EL isn’t reinforced. The lack of reinforcement for EL, can be justifiably viewed as a form of LD or, more bluntly: DL is the LD, which puts anyone with EL to shame.

 

When children grow up bilingually, they often – obviously, because of DL – end up speaking only one language. This glotophobia is the rejection of people for their way of speaking, writing or vocabulary, based on the dominant norms of language. Like an identity card, the language we speak and, particularly, the way in which we speak, reveals who we really are. DL and EL occur within every language, so within French, Chinese or English, people are able to engage in DL or in EL. Within every language, there is LD, because as long as DL goes on, EL is impossible.

 

The act of elocution – the skill of clear and expressive speech, especially of distinct pronunciation and articulation – should be affirmative of who we truly are, but this is not the case as long as we, unknowingly, engage in DL. Indeed, in absence of any attention for EL, our ordinary speech is an act of denunciation of who we really are. Moreover, our negative DL always happens unconsciously. Thus, with our automatic, forceful DL, we shoot ourselves in the foot, as we discriminate against ourselves, by preventing ourselves from having any EL. It is even more insidious, as we prevent ourselves and each other from having EL, because we fear, we don’t belong to the dominant group, the majority, with DL.

 

Certainly, there is the importance to diversity of languages – such as Russian, Spanish, Swedish, etc. – but, we aren’t appreciative of linguistic plurality, because our hostile, distrusting DL, which continues our LD and isn’t interested in the vitality and richness of the world and society in which we live. There is no EL and there basically cannot be any EL, because DL and LD, belittles and practically annihilates anyone who has EL. I am still alive, and I am – in spite of endless rejection and judgement – able to make it, because I talk out loud with myself, I listen to myself, and I act on what how I have instructed myself. My ability to self-stimulate was always sufficient, to find and meet the rare, courageous, honest individuals, with whom I could have mutually reinforcing EL.   

 

DL, in which speakers don’t listen to themselves while they speak, isn’t merely a dismissal of just one or two aspects of who we are, but it is the complete denial of who are as a person. In DL, we all turn our backs on our naturalness. Yes, our DL is the ultimately form of discrimination, called LD. We do this to ourselves and others, because we were conditioned to do this and not because we want to do this. Once we talk with ourselves and listen to ourselves, we find that we don’t want to have DL, but we want EL.

 

In conclusion, I claim our DL is in essence racist. With our unintelligent DL, we discriminate against the human race.  Supposedly, DL is acceptable, as it is going on everywhere, twenty-for-seven, but anyone like me, who knows the great difference between DL and EL, doesn’t accept DL, because he or she will somehow be able to manage to continue with their EL. My skill to do that, is because I hear the difference between my own DL and EL. Once you can hear the big difference between your DL and EL, you will be able to hear it in others. We engage continuously in DL because of our conditioning history, in which we were reinforced for our DL, but we were punished for our EL.
