More,

 

I think no more, because there is no language inside of me and there never was. It was an illusion. I have said it, I have written it, I have heard it, and, also, I have read it, just like you do, right now. Because it is true, my conditioning history with Disembodied Language (DL) is no more. I have no more requests, as my Embodied Language (EL) has answered all my questions. My DL has stopped, since I have gained access to a new way of dealing with my language.

 

With DL, you are never satisfied, as it doesn’t allow you to recognize and fulfill your needs. You always want more love, more truth, more sex, more money, more adventure, more entertainment, more knowledge, more control, more drugs, more alcohol, more time or more silence, but all your meaningless demands derive from your DL. No one could be more stuck than you, because with your unhappiness, you keep competing for attention. You win the first price.

 

You are afraid to find out more about yourself and that is why you continue with DL. Obviously, you are never really yourself with DL, why else would you be so distant, angry, argumentative, hostile, frustrated, defensive or eternally distracted? If you would talk with yourself and tell yourself about what is going on with you, you would hear in the sound of your voice, that what I say is true. You will hear that your voice is changing, as you finally begin to sound calm, relaxed, energized, present and authentic and then you will say to yourself: that’s more like it, this is who I really am, what a relief to be myself once more. Yes, it is still possible.   

 

After you have said – to yourself – you would like to have less DL and more EL, all your other behavior will begin to change, because your language, which regulates all your other behavior, has changed. This is not another one of your unachievable goals, but it is an irrefutable reality, from which you can no more turn away. In effect, with EL, you become conscious.

 

The undeniable fact, that there never really was any inner language, private speech, thinking or mind, is what you previously called being consciousness. Yes, you were always conscious, but you didn’t have the ongoing EL to express it. May be, you had a little EL - unconsciously, accidentally or momentarily - but it was no more, it was already gone, before you knew it or could enjoy it. In the past, each time you felt a little bit more comfortable, open and expressive, your habit to have DL, destroyed this wonderful experience.  

 

You have never even acknowledged, that it is your DL, which keeps making your run around in circles, after your non-existent tail, your imaginary identity, who you believe yourself to be. Only when you have ongoing EL, will you no more be deluded by this appendage of your DL. It is inevitable that during DL, you were always only fantasizing about who you are, because your language was more about others than about you. In DL, you, unknowingly, do as you were told and that is why you react and keep trying to speak truth to power. In EL, you don’t feel that obligation anymore.

 

I know of no man or woman, who is more honored than he or she, who is him or herself, with EL. I have no respect for anyone’s DL, as it represents always more of the same senseless conflicts, struggles, tragedies and violence. Surely, my EL is more important than everyone’s DL, which is going on everywhere, and that is why I consider talking with myself to be more important than talking with you. I can only continue with my EL, because I don’t want to get involved no more in your disgusting DL. I have nothing to do with your DL.

 

DL and EL result in very different consequences, but only with EL can we accurately predict what is going to happen. In DL, we are sold on so-called wishful thinking. Things supposedly will get better, tomorrow, but one day, our life will end and then, there is no more tomorrow, and we have wasted our life on a pipedream. This is why we say may he or she rest in peace, because life was one big continuous hassle.

 

The alarming, but, unaddressed fact, that everyone, everywhere, almost permanently, engages in DL, makes it more of an urgent challenge, but also more of an adventure, to step out of this madness and go on with our own EL. Since there is basically no one to have EL with, one has to go on alone with one’s EL. However, once we are done crying, complaining and asking for attention, we find, even if our EL is no more than a whisper, we enjoy it tremendously, we are stimulated by it and we are fulfilled by it. With ongoing EL, we no more believe in miracles, but our EL surely is the gift that keeps on giving.

 

Of course, we talk a lot about victims these days. There is a big competition going on about who is the biggest victim, who deserves the most attention and who is allowed to dominate public discourse with their particular unique, special kind of victimhood.  There is definitely more than one victim to DL, but nobody seems to wonder, how many? When are we ever going to be able again, to converse upon more pleasant subjects? It is only going to happen, if we call a spade a spade and recognize our common way of talking – DL – as the total disaster it has always been and say, in unison: no more of this bullshit.

Best,

 

You’ve gotten along without Embodied Language (EL) just fine? What the hell are you talking about, that everything is going to work itself out, with your unnatural Disembodied Language (DL), the way of talking, which you have been used to? You say, you only want the best, why then, don’t you stop your unintelligent, automatic, forceful DL and engage in energizing, insightful, delightful, effortless EL? You can’t, because you have bought into your adherence to the status quo, which is why you are so unhappy.

 

With my discovery of the great difference between DL and EL, the world – yes, not only my world, but your world as well – has permanently changed. Your inability to notice the enormous difference, implies you are a loser, who stubbornly continues with DL, the way you were told. You can’t decide anything for yourself with your DL, as there is no match between your behavior and your language. Whatever you say is the best for you – with your dull DL – is harming you and you don’t even know it. Surely, you never had any ongoing EL, so the best is yet to come.  

 

If you really want the best, you must go and search for gold. I’ve found gold, not by combing through the country side, not by digging out creek beds or by searching on hands and knees, along ridgelines and hilltops, not by panning in icy streams and not by looking for a show of color or gold in the river trail, but by listening to myself while I speak. This is a novel way of prospecting. If you have ever looked for gold, you would know, that prospecting is the first stage of geological analysis. The psychological gold that I am talking about, is your own Language Enlightenment (LE), which will only be found, if you express your experiences with your EL. Prospecting is the search for minerals, fossils, precious metals or mineral specimens. Traditionally, it relied on direct observation of mineralization in rock outcrops or in sediments. However, the prospecting with EL, relies on hearing and enjoying yourself, while you speak.

 

Your prospects with your EL are very good, as you will always find what you are looking for. Since you are not on anyone else’s property, when you have found your gold – your LE – you can proudly stake your claim, and you don’t need to fear anyone will take it away. To the contrary, you can calmly keep exploring and finding more riches. Let everyone know about your precious findings on your You Tube channel. Stimulate them with your EL, to become prospectors of the best of human experience: LE.

 

The phenomenon of stating your claim and letting others know, you have found psychological gold, is something very precarious. One can only effectively tell others about it, if one has acquired ongoing EL. Therefore, discovering EL, is one thing, but having it, as a skill – deliberately, consciously, continuously and predictably – is a psychological transformation, which involves abandonment of the repertoire, that was related to DL and selection and enhancement of the behaviors, which are in support of our EL.

 

People have always been as hyped up, carried away and obsessed about finding gold, as they have been fanatic about finding spiritual truth. However, all the drama, conflict and violence, involved in the Gold Rush or in the search for the Holy Grail or so-called enlightenment, always involved others and never allowed us to stop our DL and continue with our EL. Indeed, none of our religions or spiritual practices could ever bring about any clarity about how we use our language. The distinction between our DL and EL, was buried beneath strata of words and would only reveal itself, if our words were once again listened to and experienced, as our own embodied sounds.

 

In DL, we, unconsciously, merely act, as if we are strong, kind, open, caring, certain, truthful, safe, respectful, calm, powerful, enthusiastic or lost, confused, hurt, wounded, traumatized, needy, helpless, hopeless, incapable or weak. During EL, on the other hand, in which our language no longer distorts our experience, we are genuinely ourselves.

 

The fact, that with our DL, we only know how to act, goes all the way back to ancient Greek drama, which was originally entirely performed by choruses. Note, at that stage, the group is more important than the individual. According to old tradition, the Greek dramatist Thespis, of the 6th century B.C, was the inventor of tragedy and the first to write roles for the individual actor as distinct from the chorus, and the actor’s exchanges with the chorus were the first dramatic dialogue. Note, this so-called individuation is still determined by the group. Shakespear would later say: all the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. And this is also why DL – in which we act out of conditioning and react, rather than listen and respond – is still with us today. Since Thespis himself performed the individual parts in his own plays, he was also the first true actor. Ever since choruses disappeared from drama, thespians have filled all the roles in plays. Although choruses have disappeared, they are still there in DL, in which we can’t be with ourselves, as we stay busy with others.

 

Actors are the ultimate salespeople. They sell us on whatever their product is. They always say that their product is the very best and is definitely superior to or an improvement on what we have. In effect, they turn prospects into aspiring heroes, by pitting them against an antagonist. However, when I say, your EL is better than your DL, I am not selling you anything. If you notice this difference yourself, you will say it, feel it and understand it. Also, you know, you aren’t imagining about some bright distant future, as you can feel the benefits of your own EL immediately.

 

The way we have been taught to communicate, is no longer suited for a world that no longer exists. Moreover, our new way of dealing with language, allows us not only to recognize, that the world has changed, but also that it continues to change, and that EL is up to the task of shaping and benefitting from that change. During EL, we control our own language and, thus, our own destiny, as we are less and less effected by the DL that is going everywhere.

 

Our ongoing EL, which will reliably reveal to us our LE, isn’t some superstitious promised land, but it is the new world, which we instantly become aware of by listening to the sound of our own voice. Your old notion of doing the best you can – and always trying to improve on yourself – derives from your DL, as in EL, it is self-evident, you are the best you can be and you keep on getting better, because you are you.

 

There is no enemy to fight with and your DL is not some monster, which needs to be slayed. DL is our common conditioning history. Anyone, who is able to recognize this, is ahead of everyone else, who is still stuck with DL. When you know the difference between your DL and your EL, you will know, what is best for your future and for everyone’s future. What is best of all, is that all the energy, which was drained by your DL, now becomes available to you in EL. Everyone will notice – whether they say it or not – you have a very different energy, which stimulates only excellence.

 

Even while you read this, you probably still wonder, if I am making up all this stuff? You will continue to remain skeptical, until you really start to speak with yourself and listen to your own sound. It takes some exploration, but you find, you either speak with a sound, you like or with a voice, you don’t like. Now say to yourself, you can stop the latter and go on with the former and see what happens. You will begin to say many things you have never been able to say, because have stopped your own DL and you are now having ongoing EL. You don’t need anyone’s approval as you can say for yourself, this is the best of yourself you have ever experienced. The most wonderful thing is, you are no longer acting, and you know, you will continue to do best, if you go on with your EL.

Underperforming,

 

Regardless of our denial and our ability to avoid, that we are underperforming during our usual way of talking, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to continue to pretend, as if any of our so-called interactions, conversations, debates, discussions, arguments, narratives or dialogues are working.

 

Although we fail, as a  group, as a tribe, as a race, as a political party, as a religion, as a community, as a town or as a country, it is much more important to acknowledge that we underperform on a personal level. Each of us experiences, individually, the fear, anxiety, stress, frustration and powerlessness of not having any control over our language. As a result, we become more and more demanding, uptight, rigid, coercive and insensitive in our behavior.

 

The meaning of underperform is easily recognized in finance. If an investment or asset fails to produce financial gain, we adjust as soon as possible, before we lose a lot of money. However, when it concerns our language, we don’t even seem to notice, that we could actually do much better, because we are all so used to and conditioned by our dissociative, unnatural, energy-draining Disembodied Language (DL).

 

DL is the language of underperformance, because it is our automatic, common way of talking, which undermines all our actions. The often-lamented difference between saying and doing, invariably, refers to our DL, in which we say one thing, but do something else, that is, if we do anything at all. In Embodied Language (EL), on the other hand, we do as we say, because in EL saying equals doing. In EL, we take action, we are pro-active, we are responsible and accountable.

 

Whether we admit it or not, in DL, we underperform, but in EL we succeed, as no energy is wasted, and all of our efforts are always paying off. Furthermore, our positivity in EL creates a surplus, while in DL we are faced, in one way or another, with deficits. Stated differently, our underperformance in DL is always subject to penalties, terminations or reductions in our business affairs as well as in our personal relationships.

 

Since we keep trying to effortfully, domineeringly, stressfully, strategically, manipulatively, ambitiously, arrogantly, shamefully, tenaciously turn around our presumed failure – our dreadful underperformance – we accept DL as normal and we consider EL as the exception to rule. This has been and continues to be our situation, because we have no understanding about the big difference between our DL and our EL.

 

Currently, there is no incentive whatsoever, to address, let alone, stop and replace our DL, which is normally going on everywhere, as it has always done. Our consistent underperformance, which is maintained by our unconscious DL, manifests as our conflicts, wars, struggles, problems, fears, doubts and as our negative emotions and experiences.

 

Oddly, while each of us individually feels unhappy, dissatisfied, frustrated, superstitiously-confused and eternally-distracted by and endlessly-preoccupied with meaningless nonsense, we never acknowledge or talk about these troubling experiences at the level of the group, we believe to belong to. In effect, we carry, individually, the burden of the group, we identify with. Consequently, we underperform, as a group, as long as we don’t do well, individually.

 

A person may underperform, due to injury, trauma, addiction, abuse, depression, etc., but everyone underperforms, because of our unaddressed DL. In that sense, our DL determines we are in the same boat. Hilariously, while everyone is like crazy trying to out-perform or out-compete everyone else, everyone is unconsciously underperforming. By contrast, when we engage in EL, we perform at out best and, yet, we aren’t trying to out-do each other or beat ourselves up. It is this whole nasty issue of pushing ourselves, to supposedly do better, which makes us underperform. In EL, we behave naturally, without pressure or compulsion. This is why we are more effective, confident and happier than before.  

 

Interestingly, in EL we are free, which means we are not setting any standards or goals for ourselves or for each other and that is why we do so well. To be a catalyst, in a group of underperforming students – I used to be a psychology instructor and know how this works – you should introduce them to EL and have them talk with and listen to themselves, then you will begin to notice, that it was because of DL, that they were underperforming. 


Sadly, as long as this difference hasn’t been properly addressed and therefore, was never even acknowledged, we keep talking, as if people have no motivation, no respect, no confidence, no awareness, no responsibility, no accountability, no pride or just a bad attitude, while in fact, these are the inevitable consequences of our DL.

 

With EL everyone is self-motivated, to do the best they can, as their own language will bring this about. We always speak about underperforming, to describe a situation, in which someone doesn’t the meet the expectations or performs at a satisfactorily level, according to someone else. Surely, our DL is the language of expectation and punishment if this expectation isn’t met. Besides, what is presumably satisfactorily to someone who only has DL, is never satisfactorily to anyone who knows how to have EL.

 

When we, with EL, become aware of what we want and don’t want, it is easy to satisfy ourselves, as this has nothing to do with fulfilling any expectations. To the contrary, EL is the let go of expectations, which allows us to say, experience, hear, understand, feel, recognize, do, approach and achieve, what we truly want. Whatever we will be doing, when we do what we want, is always done with the utmost care and diligence. If, however, it isn’t done in that way, this simply means, it is not what we want and we are just doing something what was expected from us, which we have come to expect from ourselves.

 

Thus, we, unknowingly, underperform, when we don’t want to do what we are doing. In terms of our language, we always underperform in DL, because we do not and cannot express ourselves accurately and effectively. We underperform, as we don’t listen to what we feel, while we speak, we dissociate and are not in touch with ourselves. Our effortless focus on our language can only come about with our EL, which transforms our mediocre underperformance into a marvelous experience of success, clarity, consistency, effectivity, satisfaction and happiness. Our EL expresses our Language Enlightenment (LE).

Validity,

 

There are, of course, limitations, which life itself imposes on each of us. Someone may be high on drugs and believe, he or she can fly, but if such a person jumps off a roof, he or she will certainly fall to his or her death. Likewise, millions of people may be fanatically convinced, they are all very special or chosen, because they are praying to, talking with or even listening to their so-called higher power, but their superstitious reality is, they live in a childish fantasyland. The validity of our concept of reality depends always on how we deal with our language.

 

Reliability and validity are essential concepts in research, especially when designing studies or interpreting results. I have always approached the gigantic difference between Disembodied Language (DL) – our usual unconscious way of dealing with language as a group – and our Embodied Language (EL) – the conscious language of the individual – as a scientific issue. Only our EL can be considered as scientific speech, but our common, automatic DL is hopelessly biased, and, therefore, unscientific speech. Reliability refers to the consistency of a measurement or test. It assesses whether the same method, technique or test produces consistent results when repeated under similar conditions. Surely, our EL is neither a method, technique or test, as it is our natural way of talking with the sound of our wellbeing, yet our EL is absolutely reliable, as it consistently yields positive outcomes. Validity assesses how accurately a method measures what it is intended to measure. If a test accurately measures a particular skill, it demonstrates high validity. Validity is the quality of being logically or factually sound. The soundness or cogency of our EL is self-evident, that is, you can’t really miss it. If you doubt, whether you have EL, you are not having it. In EL, we are without any doubt. High reliability often indicated validity, that is, if a test produces accurate results, they should be reproduceable. Although EL is certainly not a test, but merely our natural, effortless way of dealing with language, it is reproduceable, as anyone who speaks with and listens to him or herself, will find out about the great difference between their DL and their EL.  

 

One doesn’t need to be a hopeless junkie or some humorless ascetic, to live a superficial, meaningless, unintelligent life. Sadly, since everyone, engages, almost permanently, stubbornly, in DL, our false beliefs, generally speaking, proliferate from the cradle to the grave. Indeed, we are conditioned and the only reason for us, to ever move beyond our conditioning history, is a different way of dealing with our language. Obviously, first, our mechanical DL must be stopped, before our EL can even begin to occur. Thus, we can only finally begin to use our language correctly, when we fully acknowledge, our incorrect use of our language has been disastrous.

 

Our astonishingly, destructive, tenacious ignorance isn’t – as we can read in the publications of clever psychologists – a matter of a lack of appropriate scientific or philosophical training, but rather, it is the habit, we have, to not listen to ourselves, while we speak. Regardless how knowledgeable we have become, our lack of self-listening is still the missing link in all our knowledge, since our self-knowledge can only be acquired, if we talk with and listen to ourselves. Of course, such overt self-talk will only occur to the extent, we find it more important than so-called thinking, our imaginary covert language. Furthermore, our talking, out loud, with ourselves and by ourselves, will only happen, when we sense that all our talking with others, is unreal and phony.

 

The validity of our ongoing EL doesn’t depend on our agreement with others, but on our agreement with ourselves, that is, on the match between our experience and our use of language. During DL, we put the horse – our language – behind the wagon – our experience. Consequently, there cannot be any congruence, between our language and experience, because our language regulates and determines all our behavior. Moreover, it is overt language – not, non-existent, impossible, inner speech or thought – which causes our desirable behavior to increase and our undesirable behavior to stop or decrease. Thus, the self-evident validity of the revealing, powerful process of listening to ourselves while we speak, can only be denied, by not listening to ourselves, while we speak. In other words, DL and EL are mutually exclusive. Once we begin to listen to ourselves, while we speak, DL will stop, and EL will continue.

 

Anyone can understand and acknowledge, that our brains mediate – but do not contain – our language. If we suffer from a stroke, our language production or comprehension is impaired, because our brains have been damaged. Any recovery from such an event requires overt speech therapy. Our language doesn’t mysteriously emerge from inside of us, but it occurs due to antecedent environmental stimuli. Babies born in Rome, learn to speak only in Italian – not Chinese – and, thus they do as the Romans do.

 

When we say, brains interpret stimuli – in terms of whether they are threatening or safe – it is not our brains, which use language, but it is due to outgoing air of our lungs, going over our vocal cords and our lips and tongue moving, that we speak a language. It isn’t until words come out of our mouth, we can hear ourselves or someone else speak. Likewise, it isn’t until someone has written something, as words in this text, that a reader can read what was written. Thus, there exists no such a thing as mind-reading, as there is no mind, as our language is always overt.

 

With our EL, we are, at long last, capable of talking as individuals, about the validity, truth, joy, energy and meaning of our behaviorally created model of reality. There is no me, inside of me, who makes me say what I say or causes or coordinates my behavior. There is no validity, to an inner behavior-regulating agent, but with DL, we keep assuming its existence. Moreover, our utterly false, profoundly problematic, verbal identity, creates a myriad of other convoluted models, which will only be abandoned, when our DL is stopped. However, our DL was never stopped by more of the same dumb, dull, forceful, reactive DL. To stop DL, requires EL. Only when we can talk with EL about our conditioning with DL, will our DL stop.

 

Stated differently, we inevitably engage in DL, due to our conditioning history, as our neural behavior was previously affected only in such a way, that we could speak – as in the previous example – Italian, but not Chinese. Only different – overt – Chinese stimuli, can and will bring about the so-called learning of this other language. Only once our neural structure has been sufficiently affected by such environmental stimuli, can we – without having language inside of us – react appropriately, in a Chinese manner, to a Chinese speaker, by speaking the Chinese language.

 

The saying, the proof is in the pudding, refers to the configuration of our neural structure, which must have occurred, once we can hear, experience and be aware of the enormous difference between our DL and EL, because our DL has stopped, and we can now effortlessly continue with our EL. We are in total bliss, when this is the case, and we experience our EL as a novel form of happiness and a source of understanding and wellbeing. Immediate as well as long-term positive effects of our EL are so tangible. We can’t miss, we are truly ourselves. Indeed, our Language Enlightenment (LE) is due to ongoing EL. However, it is very important to acknowledge, that we have achieved this new way of responding, due to the rearrangement of environmental stimuli. We have controlled and stopped our DL, so that our EL and LE could be expressed and become clear to us.

 

There is no doubt or fear, when we engage in EL, as we experience an environment, which is free from aversive stimuli. Magnificently, we ourselves create and maintain this environment. Our ongoing EL is the most supreme form self-management. With our EL, we can finally behave as an individual, who is no longer inhibited or troubled by the DL, which instills fear-based, inherently, punitive, group-behavior. In effect, with our EL, but also with our DL, we behave our own individually experienced reality. However, with our DL, we, inadvertently, behave a conflicted, chaotic, negative environment, but with our EL, we continue to modify our neural structure, in such a manner, that our reality is peaceful, clear, positive and stable. The discriminative way of behaving, that allows us to stop our DL, so we can express, hear and act on, what we say to ourselves with EL, is made possible by listening to ourselves while we speak. We hear in the sound of our voice, if we engage in DL or EL. The validity of our assessment is always evident in the consequences of our actions.

Repetition,

 

There is an enormous difference between repeating something with our Disembodied Language (DL) or repeating something with our Embodied Language (EL). With the former, you are getting deeper and deeper in trouble, but with the latter, you liberate yourself, you renew yourself, and, yes, will you stop repeating. Only those who continue to have DL, are always unknowingly repeating themselves, while they are making it seem as if they are so modern and advanced. They always repeat the same struggle, conflict, misery and tragedy and their problems keep accumulating and escalating. 

 

Anyone, who truly recovers from his or her dreadful history of conditioning with DL, will have to say, out loud, to him or herself, as many times as necessary, everything, he or she has believed, he or she was thinking, while he or she was still engaging in DL. It can be compared with having a bad dream. Upon waking up, you continue to feel upset, confused or frightened about what you dreamed about. Unless you say repeatedly to yourself, it was just a dream, a nightmare, you continue to feel troubled, ashamed, sad, frustrated or even obsessed about your dream.

 

The word repetition comes from Latin, repetitio or  repetitionem, a repeating, repetere, doing or saying things again. Later, in old French, repeter, say what another has said; actions or events recurring or done again; do over again; do, make or perform again. Reputation, as in, upon repetition, I swear; also representative; repertory, Latin, repertorium, index, list, inventory, catalogue; repertus, reperire, to find, get or invent; parire or paerere, to produce, bring forth, procure; repertoire, list of performances an actor or company can stage. Of course, in EL, we repeat not what another has said, but what we say. Thus, we produce and create our own reality. As I have said and written many times, EL is the correct way of using our language, but our DL is incorrect, as it perpetuates the falsehood, that our language occurs inside of our body, as thinking in our head.

 

There is truth to the fact, that if you keep repeating – with DL – the same propaganda, someone is going to believe it, especially, because they don’t know anything about the difference between DL and EL. However, once they have found out about this difference, this doesn’t mean, that the conditioning history with DL has all of a sudden ended, as it is the beginning of becoming conscious about this history. Each time we consciously repeat to ourselves – with our ongoing EL – our conditioning history with our DL, we are reconditioning ourselves, into freedom.

 

Due to our habitual, mechanical DL, an unhealthy process of de-conditioning has occurred. This can be compared to an elderly person, who doesn’t walk anymore, but sits in a chair all day. Our muscles will inevitably atrophy, due to our sedentary lifestyle. Surely, such a decline can perhaps be prevented or at least somewhat reversed, if we exercise again, which would then involve a process re-conditioning. Obviously, doing a regular fitness routine, to retain or regain muscle strength, would involve repetition. 

 

During the transition, from being a nonverbal baby, to becoming a fully verbal human being, our first words – Mama or Papa - were celebrated by others, but, the older we get, the less reinforcement our verbal behavior receives. We were conditioned, to have DL, not EL – because nobody knew about the difference between the two, as there never really was anyone, to socially reinforce our EL –  and we could only retain our access to our EL, by means of automatic or self-reinforcement. Only if we would listen to and enjoy the sound of our voice, while we speak – in the same way, as a guitar-player enjoys to hear the sound, he or she produces, while he or she is strumming some chords on his or her instrument – do we attain the ability or skill to continue with EL.     

 

In every religion people repeat their scriptures, but they do not know, they repeat their DL. Unless they knowingly stop repeating their DL, they are never able to have any ongoing EL. Sometimes, they stop their DL, accidentally, but never skillfully, consciously and continuously and so, whenever their DL stops, they accidentally, momentarily step out of their repetition. They fabricate many superstitious ideas around this issue of having stopped their DL, but the repetition of these assumptions never results in truly stopping their DL. Only if we get clear about the difference between DL and EL, can we stop our DL reliably. We stop our DL only, when we realize, we want to go on with our EL. This natural preference happens by itself, as we will effortlessly choose what is best for us.    


It is necessary, enjoyable, intriguing and so relaxing to repeat to yourself, that it is really true, that you can stop your DL, that you can go on with your EL and that you can experience your Language Enlightenment (LE). It is really needed to let yourself know again and again, to counteract your own conditioning history with DL. Each time, when you say and hear what you appear to be thinking, you find out that thinking dissolves, because it was an imaginary product of your DL, in which you could not say what you wanted to say. Each time you say what you can say, you let yourself know, you are enlightened because your language makes you happy and full of delightful energy.

Hole,

 

I am not an expert in astronomy, but I have read, that a black hole is a region in space time, where gravity is so strong, that nothing including light and other electromagnetic waves has enough energy to escape it. Black holes are formed by gravitational collapses of massive objects, such as stars or galaxies. I don’t find use of metaphors productive, but in the case of a black hole, I make an exception.

 

In this writing, I will refer to our habitual, unnatural,  unconscious way of talking – in which we produce what I call Disembodied Language (DL), in which we, as speakers, do not listen to ourselves – as a black hole. Black holes are often personified and talked about in terms of human actions, such as eating, devouring, and spewing matter. Often, black holes are depicted as predators, beasts or monsters.

 

Although a black hole is not really a hole, but just a metaphor, we are not very sophisticated about our use of language and this is why, many view a black hole as some mysterious space entity, which is up to no good. Perhaps, it helps to reflect on the meaning of a metaphor, as a writing or communication tool. It gets messy really quickly with metaphors, because the entire notion, that there is language inside of us and that we think, is – in and of itself – a metaphor.


To be clear, here are a couple of common metaphors, so that everyone knows why thinking is also a metaphor. Time is money. No man is an island. He had a heart of stone. Laughter is the best medicine. He was a late bloomer. Age is a state of mind. She was living in her own bubble. So, a metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. Likewise, I think therefore I am, is also a metaphor. 

 

We never talk about the metaphor, that we think, because our dull, insensitive DL simply doesn’t allow us to do that. We need Embodied Language (EL), to get clear about the undeniable fact, that so-called private speech – that, we can have a quiet, inner conversation, inside our head with ourselves and we are thinking about our thinking – isn’t the same as talking out loud with ourselves. In other words, metaphors, will only help us to learn, by making useful associations, as long as we are not getting completely carried away by our fantasy language.

 

Our DL is a black hole, because we never even talk about the immense difference between our EL and our DL, between real human interaction and the pretention or the assumption of communication. We need to have EL, to be able to talk about the great difference between DL and EL. Indeed, we have to lighten up, to get out of our dark hole of DL.

 

I can only laugh, if there is EL. All the amusement that is based on DL, I find utterly boring. Yes, you cannot laugh with me, because of your automatic DL, but I continue to have fun with my EL, without you. My humor doesn’t depend on your humorless way of dealing with language. Actually, I am quite comfortable laughing by myself and talking out loud with myself. While you may regard this as a sign of madness, I consider my EL as the basis of sanity.  

 

Make no mistake, it is you, who can’t laugh and who is insane. It is you, not me, who needs someone else to make you laugh, who is a demanding, fanatic, miserable, dissatisfied, angry problem-maker. It is you, who keeps claiming to have the solution for all the troubles, which you keep creating. Your silver bullets never hit the target they were supposed to hit. Such a great wild-west-cowboy metaphor. You are not a straight shooter and you aim at the wrong target anyway. Shooting from the hip with your DL and taking pot-shots, isn’t working, when your goal is to live a happy, fulfilling, peaceful, meaningful life.

 

You need to hit rock-bottom, with your inability to laugh. I will verbally do whatever I can, to help you achieve that deep level of profound understanding. I know, my humor is for me and not for you and that is why I keep rubbing it in, because it feels so good, to get this off my chest. I have no problem with you down there. By all means, be yourself and remain as you are: stupid, distracted, arrogant, superstitious, ignorant and phony. I will continue to do my thing and let you know how much fun I have, up here.

 

During our horrible DL, everybody always pretends to be better than or above someone else, but once we finally can have our EL, we realize, we are truly better off, than those zealous morons, who imagine themselves to be superior to others. I am not in any kind of hole, financially or psychologically. My life is a thorn in your eye and my scornful voice hurts your ears, as I am not bound by your rules of seriousness and denial. I can say what I want to say, that is why I say what makes me laugh, as I can see, you are still trying to run away, while you are already in a hole.

 

You are not as special as you believe yourself to be, and you are afraid of being exposed for your lies. It is funny, to hear you tremble. You know as well as I do, you can’t even keep up with any of your own tragic, repetitive sob-stories. I’m not listening to you, so you have the chance to listen to yourself, but I also just don’t want to hear your DL. I don’t look at you, as I don’t like to look at you. I don’t talk with you, because I have much better things to do.  

 

You are deserving of my rejection. I have such great fun condemning you, while I am moving further and further away from you. I am out of reach. You are on your own – without me – inevitably lost, unhinged and confused. You have never acknowledged, when I was still around you, I gave you comfort, I accepted you, I didn’t force anything on you, but now that I’m gone, you must admit, you are a mess, as you are no longer able to put me down. How is it going for you, down there? Having any fun yet? Yes, I am up here.

 

You put yourself above me, a million times, because I was open to you and honest with you. You put me down so often, but how do you feel now, that I am laughing at you? Your deceitfulness is hilarious and isn’t getting you anywhere. I feel so vindicated where I am, because my EL guides every step I take, but you keep digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole, you are in, because of your forceful DL. Go ahead. You are doing great, keep on digging, you are getting deep now. How could I write or say this, if I wasn’t standing – metaphorically – next to your dark hole and giving you my loud instructions?

 

You need encouragement, to finish the job. You’ve got to go so deep, that when you look up, you can see the bottom. Hahaha, stop complaining, get on with it. This is what you wanted. This is what you are good at. This is who you are. This is your life’s purpose and you are almost there. Don’t slow down, don’t give up and dig this grave, you feel so entitled to. You have put so much effort and time into it. Nobody could stop you. You have definitely made your point, somewhere, down there. Bye.

Self-knowledge,

 

When you have found your own truth, because you have acquired self-knowledge – with your Embodied Language (EL) – of course, you are right. Moreover, you want to be right, even if no one believes you. It is total nonsense, that self-realized or enlightened people don’t want to be right or, that for them, being right, presumably doesn’t matter. I say with 100% certainty, that anyone who speaks or writes about the truth, consciousness, meditation or self-knowledge, but can’t even explain the difference between Disembodied Language (DL) and EL, is always someone, who is verbally coercing others into accepting, he or she is right. They don’t know what the hell they are talking about, as they can’t handle the real self-knowledge, which can only be acquired with their ongoing EL.

 

Anyone who has ever talked with me, knows very well, that I am right. The fact, that they don’t want to admit it, is their problem. They rather go to fake people, who tell them what to do, so that they can go on imagining, they are living in la-la-land. You are damn right, that I am right, and that I am not hiding my truth. However, I don’t speak truth to power, as that would be a waste of my time. I speak my truth to myself and that is all I do. I am my own authority.

 

I’ve heard and read so often, that if a person wants to be right, or insists, that he or she is right, this is a sure sign, they are ignorant, because – according to all the wise and well-meaning gurus – someone who claims to be enlightened, cannot be enlightened. It is so incredibly stupid, as all of these creepy, holy people, sneakily keep asserting their own, presumably, humble, but always boring, lifeless verbiage. Only someone like me – who is so convinced, he is right, that he audaciously accuses all the world’s religious leaders, their so-called religions, and their psychologically sleepy, fanatic followers of being full of shit – who is never ever allowed to be right. Someone like me, with real self-knowledge, is always ignored and refused.  This is why we engage, as we have done since time memorial, in DL and create more chaos and conflict.

 

I have discovered the difference between DL and EL, but my self-knowledge is taboo for anyone who has DL. Nothing changes the fact that I am right, as I deal with my language correctly, while everyone with DL, unknowingly, engages incorrectly with their language. I always have positive consequences of my EL, but with DL, we always experience negative consequences. The fact that everyone with their DL always keeps denying this, only makes things worse.

 

It is very easy to ignore me and, most likely, even if you read and understand this or listen to and watch you my You Tube videos, you will still continue to do what you have always done. I know this, because I have found out about my Language Enlightenment (LE) with my ongoing EL. I want everyone who reads this to know, I am right. Everyone who continues with DL is completely in the dark about themselves, because of how they deal with their language. My being right, is not about convincing anyone, but about my being. There is no need to convince anyone, as you are here with me, right now, whether you like it or not. You read this and you understand these words.

 

You need to convince yourself, you can – and you should – stop your own problematic DL and engage in intelligent EL. I am right, you must do for yourself, what no one can do for someone else. I am right, being busy with someone else, is a waste of your time and energy. You have your family, your social network of friends and colleagues, your community you imagine belonging to or being obliged to, your team, your religion, your professional and political affiliation, but you are never just verbally busy only with yourself. You cannot be, because your dull DL wouldn’t let you. You are not free and when you talk about freedom, you get stuck in your DL, which is a group-behavior, that denigrates your individuality.

 

It has been said, many times – one wonders why? Oh, I get it, it was always said with DL – man exists for and in himself alone and that his highest end is self-knowledge and self-realization in conformity with the dictates of his reason, apart altogether from the state and society. Yes, yes, yes, bla, bla, bla, and, Plato said, in 399 BC, an unobserved life isn’t worth living, yet millions of people have kept on living like that, with automatic, unconscious DL.

 

The absence of self-knowledge and of the absolute certainty that we are right, underlies many of our weaknesses and problems. We have endlessly tried to fix or improve on our so-called blind-spots, but the difference between DL and EL isn’t a matter of observing something that is visible, but of hearing something that we didn’t listen to. We have never listened to ourselves, as we were all conditioned, to listen to others or to make others listen to us. During DL, listening, means listening to someone else, and, therefore, we continue to lack any self-knowledge.

 

Anyone who, like me, can have ongoing EL, is not only against DL, but he or she is also against all the group-behavior, which was created and maintained by our unaddressed involvement in DL. So, yes, I am right, because I am conscious of the self-defeating behavior everyone is involved in. I am not trying to get people involved in EL – I admit, I have done that, but I no longer do that – but everyone with their DL, keeps trying to get me involved in their DL. I hate DL and I despise everyone, who is pushing their agenda on me and on others. I don’t have any agenda and my EL shows what matters, each time I engage in it.

 

When I don’t engage in EL, I am nowhere or rather, I am now-here, without language. This absence of my language is my presence. I’m as fine without my EL as with it. I like to go wherever my EL takes me and my silence isn’t some future ideal, but my everyday reality of how I deal with my language. I am proud of what I’ve achieved, as I’ve abandoned everything and everyone that relates to idiotic DL. Surely, it is very significant that hardly anybody reads my blog, watches my videos or talks with me about the importance of EL, the language of self-knowledge, which, whether we are willing to admit it or not or conscious or not, of course, applies to everyone.

 

Many people talk these days about nonduality and have latched onto what is known in India as Advaita. This ancient philosophy identifies the individual self or atman, with the ground of reality or brahman. Supposedly, we gain self-knowledge, by studying this rotten old doctrine, which is said to take us from duality into unity. Nothing is further from the truth, as the difference between our DL and EL is never talked about. Therefore, these overrated, mystical, Vedic scriptures, like any other writing, are of course, a product of our cross-cultural, dumb DL. Indeed, all writing, which is considered to be more important than speaking, is a stand-in-the-way to our EL. In EL, duality is not an issue and neither is our listening. We make a big deal of these matters, due to our DL.

 

Our lack of attention for our own spoken language – by listening to ourselves while we speak – shows us,  how constantly distracted we are, by everything that is competing for our attention. Luckily, I gave up on this dreadful struggle, to get anyone’s attention for EL. I am no longer sad or disappointed about it, that almost nobody cares about their EL. Actually, I am very happy and relieved, that I no longer care whether you will ever be able to have EL with me. It was a great burden, I have carried for very long. Yet, I still like to be more emphatic about the undeniable fact, that I know something nobody knows or even wants to know. Go ahead and quote me on that. I write and speak about my own self-knowledge, which could only be acquired with my own ongoing EL.

 

You waste your time, energy and money on people, who don’t know themselves, let alone others. You can only acquire self-knowledge, if you speak with yourself and tell yourself, what is going on with you. I don’t tell you what you need to tell yourself. I am not into any debates, discussions or even so-called dialogues. I have found, to my own astonishment and great disbelief, that none of our well-intended efforts, to really communicate with one another, have ever resulted in our ongoing EL.

 

You either stop your own DL and, then, you can talk with me and have EL with me or you continue doing what you have been doing and things will – as they always do with DL – get worse and worse, although you will try to do everything you can, to prove to yourself and to others, that you are doing fantastic. Perhaps, you even succeed in fooling others, but if you read this, you will have to admit, that you have  never succeeded in fooling yourself. There really is this possibility of genuine self-knowledge, but you haven’t discovered, experienced or explored it yet. You still have a chance, as long as you are alive. You can do it right now and acknowledge that I am right. However, the great difference between your DL and your EL has nothing to do with working on yourself. You will only continue with your EL, if you enjoy it.

 

If you weren’t seeking self-knowledge, you wouldn’t be reading this. Yet, this text or what I or someone else is saying, cannot give you self-knowledge, as you need to tell yourself – with your EL – what you know and what you don’t know. Self-knowledge is like EL, you either have it or you don’t. When you have it, you know that you have it and if believe that you don’t have self-knowledge or that you only have limited self-knowledge, this simply means, that you are still engaging in DL. In EL, your self-knowledge is unlimited and constantly renewing itself. There is no such thing as wrong self-knowledge. You were never having any self-knowledge in the first place, if your self-knowledge turned out to be completely bogus. And, this is the situation you are in, due to your DL.

 

When you have had EL, you will have expressed your self-knowledge and, then – only then – can you sit in contentment and be empty. As I have stated in my other writings, this has nothing to do with meditation – which is an outdated construct – as this is an entirely different process of, first, having been busy with language and, then, being without any language. The immaculate silence and peace, we are experiencing, is a product of our EL. As we stabilize in EL, we are aware of our LE, our presence, which is there, while we are having EL and which continues, after we are we are done with our EL.
