Something about Kamala Harris,

 

Here is something for you to read. I hope you follow my instructions. Something good will happen if you do. This text is simply, to help you to say something. Please, read it out loud. Are you hearing something? If you don’t, you are not doing as I am asking you and you might as well stop reading. Start doing something else.

 

Only if you read this text out loud, so that you can hear your voice, something beautiful will happen, which didn’t and couldn’t happen in the Disembodied Language (DL) you are used to, in which you don’t listen to yourself while you speak. Are you reading out loud? Good. Can you hear your own voice? Good. You are now listening to yourself, while you speak. I call this Embodied Language (EL). You should be feeling something unusual. You hear yourself while you speak, but, normally, you don’t do this. It is very pleasant, because it relaxes you. It is so nice and calming to listen to yourself, while reading this easy text. Reading a text from a teleprompter is what dishonest politicians do, who are uncomfortable speaking in an unscripted manner.   

 

I didn’t write these words, to explain something to you or to make you understand something, but while you read this text and while you listen to yourself, you can understand, why listening to yourself while you speak is important, because listening to yourself helps you to be and to stay in touch with yourself. EL is something that is so simple, it easily escapes everyone. We are all constantly involved in DL, in which we don’t listen to ourselves, and we don’t even know it.

 

There is certainly something to it, to read these words out loud and be able to hear your sound. Perhaps, you would like to stop reading for a moment and say something to yourself, about how it is for you, to hear your voice, while you speak? You don’t have to do it, but you can, if you want. I suggest this, to give you a break from this text, because this text is of no importance. What matters is, you get a chance to hear yourself, while you speak.

 

I was listening to some music, before I wrote this text. As I looked up some songs, something occurred to me. Suddenly, this dumb, cackling, fake person, Kamala Harris, is all over the place. She is trying to become the next president. She is now promoted all over the place. Why is everyone involved in DL and not in EL? Kamala Harris isn’t going to talk about the difference between DL and EL. She is now presented as the queen of the Left, but she is unfit, because she is incapable of saying something meaningful about listening to yourself while you speak. Like so many others, she will make you listen to her, instead of to yourself.

 

You should do something about the fact, that you keep having DL instead of EL. What are you going to do about it? There is only one thing you can do, which is, to stop your DL, so you can have EL. If you are still reading out loud and still listening to yourself, this must already have happened. If didn’t happen, it means, you either weren’t reading out loud, or you weren’t listening to yourself and you were, like Kamala Harris, engaging in DL. Kamala Harris is already making a big difference, as she demonstrates what someone sounds like, who doesn’t listen to herself. It doesn’t matter what she says, it is about how she says it. Something in her voice tells you, she is not hearing herself, but she only wants to be heard and adored.  

 

This text wasn’t meant, to get you out of your mind, but to let you listen to something you had probably never listened to. If you still read these words out loud, you hear yourself and not Kamala Harris, which is already something positive. It is a good thing, you finally really get to do something about the problems, created by your participation in DL. May be, you can let Kamala Harris know about it?

 

With your DL, you always knew something was wrong, but you never knew what it was. Now you know, you weren’t listening to yourself, but to lying, vicious, hollow politicians, like Kamala Harris. In this writing, I don’t intend to give you something to think about, but something to talk about, so you can hear and identify your DL. I am sure something good will come from listening to yourself, especially now that your attention is piqued, because I mentioned the name the new presidential candidate. Even if she never makes it into the presidency, she is of great value for pointing out something about DL. Surely, something about the voice of Kamala Harris wears out everyone, who listens to her. Luckily, by reading these words out loud, you are now experiencing something of the opposite effect, because EL gives you energy. Kamala Harris has fired many of her worn-out staff members, who simply couldn’t stand listening to her anymore.                    

 I am right,

 

Everyone is always right, in his or her view of their own way of doing things. Even the depressed and the schizophrenics are absolutely right, that their depressive view of their life or their psychosis is entirely true. In other words, everyone supposedly sticks to whatever they believe about themselves. The addict starts using more drugs or alcohol and the ambitious striver for power, money and prestige wants to acquire even more influence and property. There is no exception, the scientist is hooked on knowing and the criminal commits another crime. We are all unknowingly, therefore involuntarily, attached to what we tell ourselves about ourselves.

 

No one can see things the way that we do, because everyone has remained imprisoned in their own language, which is Disembodied Language (DL). However, if we finally start listening to what our voice sounds like, while telling ourselves what we believe is going on, then the sudden liberation of the language, in which we were unconsciously trapped, will automatically take place.

 

The big difference between DL and Embodied Language (EL) is that we don't listen to ourselves during DL, but we listen to ourselves during EL. Another big difference between DL and EL is in DL, we want others to know we are right, but in EL we agree with ourselves, and we are, therefore, right. You could also say, during DL - no matter how strongly we believe we are right, because we say we are right – which we confuse with freedom - we are always concerned about getting others to say we are right and having power over others, as we don’t believe in ourselves. We will only be right for ourselves, when we produce EL.

 

It took many years before I, with my EL, 

could fully admit to myself, I am really

 right in what I say and write about the

 big difference between EL and DL. 

Since virtually no one is interested 

in talking to me about this difference, 

I have had to learn how to handle, 

many people, who, when push comes

 to shove, could not admit, I was 

right with my EL and they, therefore, 

with their false, pretentious, rash, 

stupid, oblivious, DL, were completely wrong.

 

Thousands of people who have come into contact with me over the years, have all turned away from me again, because of their own so-called rightness. However, if they, for themselves, were to recognize their own DL as DL, they could still discover their EL and benefit from it. However, that's where the problem comes in, because they really don't want to do that. In order to maintain their own pitiful, combative and dilapidated sense of being right, they act, as if their DL was their EL. I could always tell the difference. I was and still am right. 

 

There is a great taboo on the fact, I happen to be someone, who has actually learned something about himself and others through my EL. Also, because of the ubiquitous, never properly described DL, there is still a huge battle going on between science – in which we are right about how things work - and the fabrications of our religions or cultures. Objective scientific knowledge applies to all of us and makes us all right, because it concerns the facts, but science matters in our personal lives only to a very limited extent, as there is an even greater taboo on acquiring the irrefutable information of our own self-knowledge.

 

There have been all kinds of people, who were said to be wise and who we supposedly should listen to.  None of all those vaunted saints, self-realized ones, gurus and philosophers have ever talked about the gigantic difference between our usual DL and our ability to have EL. In other words, we have listened to all these authorities, who had absolutely no idea at all about ​​the difference between DL and EL and who, therefore, never were able to talk about it. It is still a mystery to me, there was never anyone who started listening to himself and talking to himself and thus began to distinguish his EL from his DL. It took me a long time to admit I was right about this.   

 

True self-knowledge is exemplified by our ongoing EL and nothing else. So, there is no need for religion, spirituality, philosophy or psychology, because they have all taken our attention away from how we – as individuals – deal with our language.  We can tell others all kinds of things about ourselves, but if we start talking to ourselves, in order to be able to listen to ourselves, it turns out self-understanding of who we are, is something completely different from our justification, for why have are and remain involved in DL, every day. We can only truly understand ourselves with EL, but with DL, we are and remain in conflict with ourselves.

 

When we recognize the great difference between our DL and EL, it becomes clear, in DL, in which we unknowingly, unintentionally, participated, we have never been able to experience how wonderful it is, to truly be right about things and to trust our own self-knowledge as truth. You are absolutely right, if you continue with EL, because you no longer believe in the necessity, you should or can think about yourself. You know, in EL, you can no longer think about anything, because there simply is no inner language.

 Gelijk,

 

Iedereen heeft, voor zijn of haar opvatting, over hun eigen manier van doen en laten, altijd gelijk. Zelfs de depressievelingen en de schizophrenen, hebben helemaal gelijk, dat hun depressieve kijk op hun leven of hun psychose, helemaal waar is. Met andere woorden, iedereen houdt zogezegd vast aan wat ze over zichzelf geloven. De verslaafde gaat nog meer drugs of alcohol gebruiken en de ambitieuze strever naar macht, geld en aanzien,  will nog meer invloed en bezit verwerven. Er is geen enkele uitzondering en de wetenschapper is verlingerd aan weten en de crimineel begaat nog weer een misdaad. Wij zijn allemaal onwillekeurig, dus onvrijwilling, verknocht, aan wat wij over onszelf aan onszelf vertellen.

 

Niemand ziet de dingen, zoals wij dat doen, omdat iedereen ongemerkt gevangen is blijven zitten in hun eigen taal, wat dus Ontlichaamd Taal (OT) is. Als wij echter eindelijk eens gaan luisteren, naar hoe onze stem klinkt, terwijl wij aan onszelf gaan vertellen, hoe het volgens ons zit, dan vindt er vanzelf de plotselinge bevrijding plaats van de taal, waarin wij onbewust gevangen zaten.

 

Het grote verschil tussen OT en Belichaamde Taal (BT), is dat wij niet naar onszelf luisteren tijdens OT en wel naar onszelf luisteren tijdens BT. Een ander groot verschil tussen OT en BT, is dat in OT willen wij gelijk hebben van anderen, maar in BT geven wij onszelf gelijk en hebben wij daardoor, werkelijk, gelijk. Ook zou je kunnen zeggen, dat wij tijdens OT – al staan wij nog zo op ons eigen gelijk, die wij met vrijheid verwarren –  eigenlijk altijd bezig blijven, met het gelijk krijgen van, of  het macht hebben over, anderen, omdat wij voor onszelf nog geen gelijk hebben. Wij hebben alleen dan pas gelijk voor onszelf, als wij BT produceren.

 

Het heeft vele jaren geduurd, voordat ik, met mijn BT, volledig aan mezelf kon erkennen, dat ik echt gelijk heb, in wat ik zeg en schrijf over het grote verschil tussen BT en OT. Aangezien, vrijwel niemand geinteresseerd is, om met mij over dit verschil te praten, heb ik lange tijd te maken gehad met mensen, die als puntje bij paaltje kwam, niet konden toegeven, dat ik met mijn BT gelijk had en dat zij dus, met hun valse, pretentieuze, onbesuisde, domme, onbewuste,  OT, het helemaal bij het verkeerde eind hadden.

 

De duizenden mensen, die door de jaren heen met mij in contact zijn gekomen, hebben zich allemaal weer van mij afgekeerd, vanwege hun eigen zogenaamde gelijk. Indien zij echter, voor zichzelf, hun OT als OT zouden gaan erkennen, dan kunnen zij alsnog ook hun BT ontdekken en daar hun voordeel bij doen. Daar wrikt echter de schoen, want dat willen ze echt niet doen. Om hun eigen erbarmelijke, strijdvaardige en aftandse gelijk te behouden, doen ze daarom meestal alsof hun OT, hun BT zou zijn. Maar dat is dus niet zo. Ik had en ik heb nog steeds gelijk.  

 

Er ligt een groot taboe op het feit, dat ik iemand ben, die werkelijk, met BT, iets over zichzelf en anderen aan de weet is gekomen. Vanwege de alomheersende, nog nooit correct beschreven OT, is er nog steeds een enorme strijd gaande tussen wetenschap – echt gelijk hebben – en de verzinsels van diverse godsdiensten en cultuur. Objectieve, voor iedereen geldende kennis van de wetenschap, geeft ons allen tesamen gelijk, omdat het om de feiten gaat, maar toch komt dat begrip maar mondjesmaat bij mensen tot z’n recht, omdat er een nog groter taboe ligt op het verwerven van onweerlegbare zelf-kennis.

 

Er zijn allerlei mensen geweest,  waarvan werd gezegd, dat ze wijs waren en dat wij naar hen zouden moeten luisteren. Niemand van al die bewierookte heiligen, zelfgerealiseerden, gurus en filosofen, heeft het ooit over het gigantische verschil gehad, tussen onze gebruikelijke OT en ons vermogen om BT te hebben. Met andere woorden, we hebben allemaal geluisterd naar zogenaamde autoriteiten, die geen enkel besef hadden van het verschil tussen OT en BT en die, daarom hier nooit over hebben gesproken. Het is voor mij nog steeds een raadsel, dat er nooit iemand was, die naar zichzelf begon te luisteren en met zichzelf begon te praten en zodoende zijn BT begon te onderscheiden van zijn OT.   

 

Werkelijke zelf-kennis wordt geillustreerd door onze voortgaande BT en door niets anders. Er is dus absoluut geen enkele noodzaak aan religie,  spiritualiteit, filosofie of psychology, omdat die allen onze aandacht hebben weggenomen, van hoe wij – als individu – met onze taal omgaan.  We kunnen aan anderen van alles over onszelf vertellen, maar indien wij met onszelf gaan spreken, om naar onszelf te kunnen luisteren, dan blijkt, dat begrijpen – van wie wij werkelijk zijn – iets totaal anders is, dan het zogenaamde goedpraten dat wij met OT gewend zijn. Wij kunnen onszelf alleen begrijpen met BT, maar met OT zijn en blijven wij in conflict met onszelf.

 

Wanneer wij het verschil tussen onze eigen OT en onze eigen BT gaan erkennen, dan wordt het ons duidelijk, dat wij, met de OT, waaraan wij ongemerkt en ongewild deelnamen, eigenlijk nooit echt hebben kunnen ervaren, hoe heerlijk het is, om echt gelijk te hebben en om dus onze zelf-kennis als waarheid te kunnen vertrouwen. Je hebt dus volledig gelijk, als je voort blijft gaan met je BT, omdat je niet langer meer geloofd, in de belachelijke zogenaamde noodzaak, dat je over jezelf zou moeten en kunnen nadenken. Je weet, dat je nergens meer over kan nadenken, want er is eenvoudigweg geen innerlijke taal.          

 Mission Possible,

 

In the TV series Mission Impossible, Mr. Phelps listens to his next task, which is recorded on an audio-tape, which, after the message has been played and listened to, will destroy itself in five seconds. The popular series – I was between eight and fifteen years old – played from 1966 till 1973. Each episode was about a small covert team of secret government agents, known as the Impossible Missions Force and their sophisticated methods of deceiving, manipulating and thwarting Iron Curtain governments, third world dictators, corrupt industrialists and crime lords, among others.

 

I like to talk about this obviously pro-American TV program and speak and write about it, in the light of the distinction between Disembodied Language (DL) and Embodied Language (EL). It is interesting, in EL, everything we say, out loud, to ourselves and carefully listen to, disappears, just like that self-destroying audio-recording. EL can be said to be Mission Possible, but, actually, like Mission Impossible, it always proved to be possible. Although the series wasn’t intended to show the difference between DL and EL, it le us listen to and watch those, who, presumably, were the bad guys and the good guys. In doing so, it was – no matter how vague – an attempt at illustrating the difference between DL and EL.

 

The original TV series began in a similar way, by first listening to a message from the higher-ups in the secret service. Before the message had ended, a grim-sounding voice then said: your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to make Stephan – some villain – believe that Thompson’s false information is true and, thus, prevent a disastrous catastrophe. It concluded with: if any of your force is caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. If you decide to accept the challenging mission, to have EL instead of DL, there will be no team, to bail you out, as you will be entirely on your own against the evil of everyone with DL. However, the false information is contained by your DL, but you will be endlessly distracted into the belief, that being busy with the DL of others, is more important. Fact is, that the DL of others, always triggers your own conditioning.  

 

People have, historically, always tried to address DL with more of the same DL. As you can tell, from the Mission Impossible series, those who, supposedly, are the good guys, they are tasked, to wipe out the bad guys and this is exactly how DL has always worked. In the ongoing battle for the attention of the audience – others – some speaker, presumably, is more powerful, smarter, intimidating, strategic, deceiving or holy. Those who claim, to have the moral high ground, most likely do most of talking and remain in power. In EL, on the other hand, we give up on this brutal race to the top, that has been going on forever. We can only do so, if we pay attention to our own DL and stop it as often as is needed, to be able to achieve, what seems to be impossible: happiness and satisfaction, which derives from using our language to our own advantage.  

 

With DL you can never achieve the wellbeing, which occurs when your language fits with your behavior. Basically, you are, unconsciously, on a mission impossible. As you get older, you can’t keep up with you own lies anymore and like Joe Biden, you say or leak things, which reveal your real evil motives. Simply stated, during DL, you are always trying to take someone out, that is, you are always on a trip of revanche for pain, which has been caused to you by others in the past. In effect, DL is the sentimental, childish, negative, demanding way of talking, in which everyone is projecting their traumatic problematic history of conditioning on others and seeks to get away with it. It sounds horrible, to hear your own DL.

 

Lastly, in DL – which is our usual way of talking in which we don’t listen to ourselves, while we speak – we are always hiding and protecting some ugly, dreadful, embarrassing secret. There are, so to speak, many verbal-skeletons in our closet and these concepts and constructs have all been created and maintained by our DL. We need to express these falsehoods to ourselves, not to confess, but to match our language with our behavior. The LBGTQ so-called ‘coming out’, is again always directed at others, that is why we should all supposedly pay attention to them. It signifies, how, in DL, speakers dominate their listeners, as they refuse to listen to themselves. Moreover, there is, the real coming out with EL, which I do here on this blog and on my two You Tube channels 1) Maximus Peperkamp and 2) maximuspeperkamp-hw8sw. 

You may not yet know anything about the difference between your own DL and EL, but you can hear, in the sound of my voice, what this important difference is all about. You can hear me talk with myself and be myself. You can talk with yourself and be yourself too, if you listen to yourself and let yourself know it has to do with how you sound. DL is impossible, as it forces you to follow expectations of the group, but EL is possible, because it is truly the future of mankind, to speak from our own individuality.           

 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.
