Verspilling,

 

Het was eigenlijk een frustrerende verspilling van mijn tijd en energie, om anderen te willen laten weten, dat Belichaamde Taal (BT) mogelijk en nodig was. Ik heb echter niet de indruk, dat mijn spreken met mijzelf of mijn schrijven naar mijzelf, ooit voor niets is geweest. Op deze wijze heb ik alles, wat ik heb geprobeerd te delen en dus heb weggegeven, weer teruggenomen en terug gekregen. Het voelt zo goed, om dat te doen, omdat niemand van mij meer iets krijgt en alles nu voor mij is.

 

Volgens iedereen, die het doet voorkomen alsof  Ontlichaamde Taal (OT) heel normaal is, ben ik een vreemde, die een ongemakkelijk gevoel in hen oproept, omdat ik niet meedoe. Aangezien ik het heb over het grote verschil tussen OT en BT, kan ik met mijn BT verder gaan. Mijn mening hierover is beslist geen kwestie van zoeken of raden. Ik weet dat iedereen, in OT, bezig is met de verspilling van wat hen gegeven is, terwijl ik rustig verder ga met mijn unieke, heerlijke BT.

 

Ik kan mezelf niet meer – net zoals iedereen dus  doet – ontkennen en verstrooien. Ik wil niets met dwangmatige, belachelijke OT te maken hebben. Vroeger voelde ik dit ook al zo, maar het was mij toen nog niet echt duidelijk, dat BT al mijn leven bepaalde, ook al was ik, net als iedereen, geconditioneerd met OT. Ik voelde mij keer op keer door mensen met OT afgewezen, maar ben hen nu dankbaar, omdat, door deze onvermijdelijke ervaring, mijn eigen verspilling is opgehouden.

 

Net zo goed, dat ik altijd al BT heb willen hebben, zo ben ik ook altijd tegen OT geweest. Mijn BT is de triomfantelijke omkering van alle verspilling, die ik overal zie. Niemand heeft de energie, die nodig is voor BT, omdat OT hen doet leeglopen. In de situatie, waarin er sprake zou zijn van een verspilling van menselijke capaciteteiten, wordt, vanwege OT, volledig over het hoofd gezien, dat het altijd mensen zijn, die elkaar’s situatie zijn.

 

Als wij – met OT onbewust – spreken over een of andere situatie, dan zijn wij geneigd, om de personen, die die situatie bepalen, buiten beschouwing te laten. Indien wij echter, vanwege voortgaande BT, onszelf beschouwen als degene, die die situatie creert en bepaalt, dan bevinden wij ons, ineens, in een geheel nieuwe situatie. De verspilling, in OT, vindt ongemerkt plaats, omdat wij niet naar onszelf luisteren, terwijl we spreken. BT heeft niets te maken met anderen de schuld geven van hun invloed – niet op de situatie, maar op ons – omdat wij het heft in eigen handen nemen.  

 

Ook al zijn wij, in OT, nog zo druk bezig, om, zogezegd, ons stempel te drukken op iedere situatie, toch zijn wij, qua taal gebruik, passief, omdat taal – wat wij vanuit onwetendheid dus denken noemen – ons onvrijwillig overkomt en omdat die zogenaamde innerlijke taal een eigen leven lijkt te hebben. Onze fantasie van stille taal, die uiteraard nog verder wordt aangedikt met alles wat – vanuit OT – werd geschreven en gelezen, leidt tot verspilling van onze energie.

 

Gedurende onze onnatuurlijke, manipulatieve, geacteerde OT gaat het altijd over verspilling, maar in BT ervaren wij, vanwege BT – onze natuurlijke taal – een verstilling. Anders gezegd, in OT, is ons idee van stilte gebaseerd op de afwezigheid van taal, maar in BT, wordt stilte gecreerd met onze taal. Jazeker, gedurende OT, wordt ons taal gebruik als zodanig eigenlijk altijd afgekeurd, maar in BT, wordt het juist aangemoedigd. De aanwezigheid van onze eigen taal – BT – maakt, dat wij bewust zijn, maar de afwezigheid van onze eigen taal – OT – maakt dat wij automatisch met taal omgaan en niet ontkomen aan de alomvattende verspilling.

 

Het is vanwege onze OT, dat miljoenen worden verspild aan wapens, maar ook aan allerlei pogingen om anderen iets op te dringen, door middel van propaganda. Alles-verwoestende verspilling zal blijven doorgaan, zolang als onze manier van praten niet verandert. Iedereen die het verschil erkent tussen zijn of haar OT en BT, die weet, dat OT een verspilling van je leven is.  

 

Verspilling staat ook voor ondoelmatigheid. Ook vullen een aantal mensen hun zakken, vanwege hun vermogen, om anderen te beinvloeden, we blijven, met onze drammerige OT, om de pot heendraaien, wat betreft ons eigen leven. Er is geen enkele betekenis aan wat wij doen, omdat wij niet in contact zijn met onszelf. Wij streven met OT allerlei doelen na, die niet de moeite waard zijn. Verspilling betekend ook frustratie, depressiviteit, verwarring en zinloosheid. Ons eigen geluk kan alleen vanwege ons taalgebruik centraal worden gesteld. BT is eenduidig gericht op de ervaring die wij hebben, wanneer wij spreken, luisteren, schrijven of lezen, wanneer wij dus bezig zijn met taal. Wij laden onszelf op met BT, maar we lopen leeg op OT. Voortgang van BT garandeert, dat wij ons doel bereiken, want wij ervaren onze Taal Verlichting (TV).

 

Indien wij blijven hangen in onze conditionering met OT, dan komen wij nooit toe aan het maken van het onderscheid tussen onze OT en BT. Dit onderscheid kan alleen worden gemaakt met onze BT en wanneer wij dus onze OT hebben gestopt. Onze gebruikelijke omgang met taal is – of we het nou willen geloven of toegeven of niet – gebaseerd op de verspilling van ons leven. Simpel gezegd, we kunnen niet in onze ware natuur verwijlen met OT. Alleen BT stelt ons in staat, om de verspilling van OT een halt toe te roepen en om van onze TV te genieten.            

 

Update,

 

Here is a little update about the dismal state of affairs on planet earth. So far, only two people – yes, only two! – are able to have Embodied Language (EL). The rest is hopelessly stuck with stupid Disembodied Language (DL), in which nobody is listening to themselves while they speak. They keep wondering, why they are so unhappy, but they can’t honestly admit – by talking with me – that their DL isn’t working, as it is the cause for all their problems. This update is for you, because you are incapable of speaking satisfyingly about your own experiences. Your DL makes you deny this, and it has to stop, before you can have EL.

 

My update isn’t doing you any good. Reading my texts or watching my You Tube videos, isn’t going make any difference, because you refuse to acknowledge what I say is true. Absurdly, you read this, but you don’t contact me, to talk with me about the difference between your DL and your EL. Such a conversation is needed, so that you can begin to give yourself an update, about the sad fact of your miserable, shallow life, that you don’t know, how to have ongoing EL, while you engage, without wanting it, day in, day out in energy-draining, demanding, meaningless, dumb DL.  

 

If it makes you feel any better – and, probably it doesn’t – everyone is in the same situation as you. Human beings are still primitive brutes, who, although they have language, believe that they can force their way. Here is a little update for you: coercive, unnatural language doesn’t work. And another update: you do to yourself, what you do to others. You also impose DL on yourself, and you don’t even know it. How free can you be, if are unconscious about how you sound? With DL, your freedom is a pipedream.

 

I have another update for you: your DL prevents you from finding out how you are doing in your life. It is only my EL or the EL of my dear Dutch friend AnnaMieke, which can inform you how totally rotten your life really is. It isn’t a pretty picture, and it is getting worse by the day. One day, your life will have come to an end, then it will be too late, as you have missed out on being yourself, because your DL prevented you. Your life is a senseless, nasty, boring drama. As long as your fake DL keeps going, you basically have already died.

 

I know, it is not nice to read this update, but I write with utmost sincerity and humor, because it is so very sad for you, that all your life seems to consist of nothing else but big tragedies and troubles. I don’t feel bad for you. I dare to give in to my empathy-fatigue and I don’t feel any compassion for anyone with DL anymore. These days are over. Besides, you deserve what you get and, believe me, you are going to get much more, because you ain’t seen nothing yet. With EL, life just keeps getting better and better, but with your DL things get worse and worse. If you, perhaps, sometimes feel as if life is difficult for you, get ready for the calamities that are ahead.

 

Everyone with their insidious DL, feeds into the DL of others and, consequently, everyone is into everyone else’s business. I am absolutely not into your creepy business, as there is no overlap between your horrible DL and my wonderful EL. The two are mutually exclusive – update – there are absolutes. I know what I am talking about. I am the originator of this particular formulation, this conceptualization of the DL/EL distinction.

 

The expression: the same shit, but a different day, derives from your soppy, sloppy, droopy, vulgar, sleezy, cheap, slimy DL. You are affected by how you sound while you speak and never give yourself an update about where you are, why you are there and what the hell you are doing there. Of course, you are always in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with people you hate or dislike, because you don’t take any responsibility for your own idiotic behavior.

 

If you would listen to yourself while you speak, just for once, when you are alone, you would hear yourself say, that you are disagreeing with what you do and why you do it. Yes, you would give yourself an update, that you got yourself involved into activities and behaviors, you don’t want. You are a slave to your conditioning. You are also a coward, that you don’t face the great challenges which come with freedom. You rather go on bitching endlessly about stuff, than to actually do whatever it takes, to be a proud, capable, liberated human being. You rather whine and complain, than to speak your own truth and stand alone.

 

I didn’t know, I had so many updates for you, but here they are. Go to sleep now and forget that you have read this. It wasn’t meant for you, as you were so convinced, you already knew what I am writing about. Your belief is so much more important than this. Your DL has given you all you ever wanted from life, that is why you have such joy in everything you are doing. Oh, yes, you always, supposedly, think of others first, but you never seem to notice, nobody gives a shit about you.

 

This writing is about the urgent need to update our way of using language. DL is outdated. DL is on its deathbed. We have had DL ever since we became verbal, and our group-behaviors do not work in societies in which people have acquired individual freedoms. Such freedom requires a language, which is adjusted to our experiences as individuals. We have forever danced around this need and all our problems are stacking up higher and higher and escalate into all sorts of horrific events. Societies across the globe, are all based on DL. Even in democratic societies - with the exception of me and AnnaMieke - the so-called freedom of speech has never resulted in ongoing EL.         

 

 

Reality,

 

There is physics, chemistry, biology, and, there is Embodied Language (EL), the language which creates, and, therefore, brings us into and keeps us grounded in, our own reality. In a similar way, that many people are still ignorant about or in denial of science, we refuse to acknowledge the difference between our Disembodied Language (DL) and EL. Consequently, we experience and live in the chaotic reality, we create with our DL. Surely, our EL is a scientific, but our DL is an unscientific behavior. 

 

EL is about realism, not mysticism. It is also not a philosophy, a path, a tool or system. EL is the way in which we talk with ourselves and others and use our language to our own advantage. In DL, our language is working against us. Since we are all conditioned to have DL and not EL, we are all experiencing the negative effects of how we deal with our language. Of course, we try to get away from these outcomes, but we cannot escape the reality, we maintain with our own automatic, insensitive, unintelligent language. With our DL, we can’t create a satisfying reality.

 

No matter how highly educated we become, without having mastered our EL, we remain entrenched all sorts of superstitious nonsense, since we are not in touch with our experience. As I have stated in my previous writings, being in touch with our own experiences, requires a language, which describes these experiences accurately, while we are having them. We are not in touch with our body, when we engage in DL, but when we have EL, we feel with our body that we engage in language. Embodiment of our language brings us in touch with our reality.

 

For better or worse, we live in the reality, which we individually create with our language. In DL, however, we believe, that reality exists separate from us, but in EL, we acknowledge, everything exists, because we exist, that is, we perceive it. Furthermore, we behave our own reality. This has nothing to do with our so-called thoughts or mind. When, due to environmental stimuli, neuronal changes in the body of a healthy baby occur, that baby at some point begins to speak. This learning process has absolutely nothing to do with internal language. There is never any language inside the body of a baby or an adult, as language is always overt. By overt, I mean observable, we can hear it or read it. This is the reality, which is only apparent to us during EL, because with DL, we fantasize, we have internal conversations with ourselves. This fallacy is only going to be dissolved, if our body is exposed to and effected by different environmental stimuli, than those, which brought about our DL. If we have EL instead of DL, we have a different physiological experience. Similarly, in a cold or in a warm room, our body feels very different.  

 

We create a different environment with our DL or with our EL. When we manage to stop our DL and have EL, we do ourselves a big favor, as our ongoing EL reveals our Language Enlightenment (LE). Basically, LE is our ability to stay in the reality, we have created with our EL. We always speak of the harsh or painful reality, because we engage in DL, but in EL, our reality is beautiful, enjoyable and interesting.

 

The notion of reality, that we have traditionally entertained – with DL – is of an environment outside of our body. However, the environment, like anything else we describe, is merely a word or a construct, that is neurally behaved by our body. You could say, the environment is in our body, but there is no language inside our body, yet the environment requires a living body. In EL, we are aware, we behave our environment, but during DL, we are totally oblivious about this.

 

During EL reality takes over from fantasy, as we realize, that reality can only exist, because we exist. In other words, we are one with reality, as we, literally, embody reality. Other than the reality, we are able to perceive – and describe with our language – there can be no reality. It can also be stated that our reality is only what it can be, due to our individual learning history, that is, it cannot be any other way, than how we are able to experience it. In DL, we are unable to express our experiences, as they are for us, individually, and, as a result, we live in a dissociated reality.

 

Whenever you refer to the reality, you always, inadvertently, speak or write about your own neural behavior, that is, what is experienced and verbalized by you. However, there is no you, inside of you, who experiences you. Therefore, the sentence, I experience reality, is false. In DL, in which you don’t listen to yourself while you speak, you not only imagine, that you have a mind and thoughts, but you also fantasize, that the environment is external from your body. All of these highly problematic misconceptions belong to DL and will be instantly dissolved by your EL.  

 

Awareness about the aforementioned sensory behavior, can only come about by your correct use of your language, which is EL. Perception of reality deriving from your DL, is based on your fixation on words, to which you have never listened. By simply talking out loud, alone with yourself, you begin to set the record straight, as the feedback from your body – we usually call listening or experiencing – becomes part of your language again. By giving attention to everything that asks your attention, by describing it to yourself, in your own words, you are now able to stop DL and engage in EL. Your perception of reality will have completely changed, as you are now for the first time using your language correctly, because as a speaker, you are your own listener. You can’t miss your LE, as you continue with your EL.                

 

Missed,

 

Since they engage Disembodied Language (DL), most people live vacuous, superficial, dull lives. This writing reveals the wonderful Embodied Language (EL), they have missed, which, most likely, they will continue to miss. Their sloppy way of dealing with language determines, that hearing what they would effortlessly be able to say to themselves is not important. Certainly, what others say, or what they say to others, is emphasized, to the point, that talking with or listening to themselves, is completely forgotten.

 

In EL, we listen to ourselves while we speak, but in DL, we don’t. Everyone can verify, recognize and acknowledge, that based on whether we listen to ourselves, while we speak, we adhere to two different ways of dealing with language. To anyone who notices the difference between their DL and EL, it is immediately apparent, that he or she unconsciously engages in DL, but consciously in EL. Thus, it is not a matter of our EL being better than our DL, but it is a matter of EL being effective, while our DL is ineffective.

 

We keep, unknowingly, involved in DL, as we have, until now, missed out on the conversation with ourselves, in which we admit, we would do ourselves a great favor, if we would stop our DL and engage in EL. When we actually do that and experience the difference between our DL and our EL, we feel so incredibly relieved. Compare it to someone, who lives in a city, who goes walking in the woods or mountains, who says: I never realized how much I have missed nature.

 

When we haven’t seen or talked with our family or friends for a long time, we say: I have missed you, but when we talk out loud with ourselves and experience the tangible shift from our DL to our EL, way say gratefully to ourselves: I have missed you. In EL, we reconnect with ourselves, but each time, we revert back to DL, we lose touch with ourselves. It was impossible, until now, to return to our EL, because we have never explored and verified the immense difference between our DL and EL. Our EL only happened accidentally, if the circumstances permitted it. Since we’ve never investigated these circumstances sufficiently to be able to create them, we’ve missed out on our EL.

 

We simply lack the skill to have ongoing EL and because of that, we continue with DL, without even realizing it. During DL, however, we are not only out of touch with ourselves, but we are out of touch with reality. The only way to be in touch with our reality, is by having EL. Nobody has ever considered this irrefutable fact about our language. Our language either expresses our experiences correctly or incorrectly. The former refers to EL and the latter refers to DL.

 

Stubborn ignorance about our own language, always results in what has colloquially been called our ‘private Idaho’, which, in essence, is a form of psychosis. We are not in touch, and we cannot be in touch with what is real, as long as we still engage in DL. The truth about DL – our ordinary way of talking – is, we are using our language out of fear. The issue of psychosis is totally misunderstood with DL. Presumably, it refers to a loss of contact with reality, when our so-called perceptions are altered to the point, that it is difficult for us to know, what is real or what is a figment of our imagination. However, in EL, we know, there is no inner language and any reference to inner language is utterly false.

 

EL is full of humor, but with DL, you have missed the joke again and again. With your DL, you are mediocre, thirteen in a dozen. You won’t be missed, but with EL, you are special, because everyone engages in DL, without even knowing it. Once you have had some EL, you will feel, as if you miss yourself, if you don't have it. I am special, but you can’t see me in that way, as you, like everyone else, unconsciously engage in DL. I may not be special to you, but I am special to myself, because I know very well, that I really do something, which is unique, and which has great consequences for me. If it happens, that you determine – for yourself and by yourself – what is your DL and what is your EL, you will realize, you have actually always been looking for your EL, as you have always missed being yourself. Being who you are and EL go together and you couldn’t be yourself without your EL.

 

With your dreadful, self-defeating, problematic DL, you have already missed so much of your life and of all those, who, supposedly, are close to you. If you don’t manage to get to your EL, you will have missed the greatest experience of your life: Language Enlightenment (LE).  Only if you have ongoing EL, can your LE truly reveal itself, but with merely a few brief moments of EL, you can only catch a haunting glimpse. From knowing the difference between your own DL and EL, you derive a profound sense of longing, for what you know you have missed, each time you fall back into your habit of having DL. Each time, you manage to stop your DL, however, what you have missed - EL - presents itself again and you will know, you will miss it even more, if you lose it again, until you notice, much to your own surprise, you continue with your EL. Your EL can continue, because you simply can’t miss it.                             

 

Aging,

 

Whatever has been said or written about aging – like everything that has been said or written about anything else – was based on our usual way of talking: Disembodied Language (DL). If I say or write something about aging, however, it is because I express myself from my Embodied Language (EL). Although, basically, nobody has EL, I am still able to continue with it, because I know the difference between DL and EL. I am sure, I will continue with EL until my last breath.

 

I love getting older, as it shows, that my history with DL is further and further behind me. My participation in EL is now steady and certain, but when I was younger, I felt often paralyzed by DL. It is so nice, to look back on those days, which seem like a long time ago. Everything that happened, didn’t seem to have happened to me, but to someone, I once knew, who has disappeared without a trace. Also, the people, I once knew – some of them are still alive – with whom I have lost contact, aren’t important to me anymore, in the way I once believed they were, because I wanted so badly, to be with them, and, particularly, to have EL with them.

 

Occasionally, I still watch the news, listen to what is on TV, to some You Tube video, look at a website or turn on the radio, but each time I do that, I want to go back to my own way of using language. All I hear is DL, which doesn’t relate to me. I can imagine, although people don’t know anything about the difference between DL and EL, they also, unknowingly, want to have EL, but they can’t, like me, get to it. Their aging process is very different from mine, as there is no satisfaction in what they are doing. Doing less and less, is the only relief they know, but stubborn inactivity speeds up their decline. For me, doing less of DL or no DL at all, is a blessing.

 

I have ongoing EL, which reveals my Language Enlightenment (LE), which means even though I am getting older, my life is getting better and better, but people, who age with DL, they only get to witness the ugly effects of their DL, they have always been involuntarily involved in. For them, aging is isolation, because they can no longer do what they have always done, to keep the belief, that their lives are meaningful alive. Before physical death, they die a psychological death of regret about having been so dishonest about themselves. Aging is tormenting, as they can no longer defend against this obvious fact.

 

People anxiously take anti-aging supplements, but, of course, it is all in vain, they are just sold on pills. With DL, they only know how to keep fighting with life. I see them fanatically exercise in the gym, where they have some opportunity to socialize and talk, but whenever they open their mouths, only the usual DL comes out. Surely, in principle, they could still discover their EL, and this would greatly enhance their aging process, but they are too entrenched in their DL-dramas.

 

Unless I return, again and again, to my EL, there is always a negative lingering effect of the DL, I exposed myself to. When I write words, such as these, or make a video about how I love to have EL, I no longer feel the deleterious influence of the DL, which is going on everywhere. If I would close myself off completely, I wouldn’t have any of these effects. I go through periods, when I do that, but I still want to do certain things, which I like, but which also, inadvertently, bring me in contact with DL. I like to sing my songs at Open Mike, but no one has EL with me. Only after I sang my song or someone else sang their song, there occurs, sometimes, a short chat, with one or two people. That is all there is, nothing else.

 

If I just wait for things to happen, nothing ever happens. The only EL I have ever had, is the EL I initiated. My aging process is one of great relief, as I no longer feel, I have to bring my EL to others. I felt compelled to do this in the past. It was quite a troubling experience for me, to feel, that I wanted something from people, who only want to continue with their DL. Right now, I leave them alone. They seem pathetic to me, and I laugh at their pretentious youthfulness.

 

The search for eternal youth is ridiculous and is proof, our DL goes on until we die. People are very interested in hearing about the possibility, that scientists may be able to tweak our genome to remove aging, but there is no animo for the genuine opportunity of stepping out our history of conditioning with DL, so that we can have EL. Throughout my life, people have asked me, how is it possible, that I am always so positive, that I come across so youthful, energetic and alive? The other day, someone asked me: what is new? Pointing at myself, I said: me! He looked puzzled, shook his head, but then, suddenly realized, I meant it and for a brief moment, he felt, I wasn’t lying.

 

Alive refers to the state of being living or having life. I am so alive, because I live my life with EL. With DL, people say to each other, go get a life, but with DL, they will only be able to get more misery, struggle, loss and frustration. A lot has been said about the aging process, but nothing has ever been said about the way in which our usual way of talking – DL – wears us out. In DL, we are not in contact with our body, because we don’t listen to ourselves while we speak and our words disconnect us from our experience. It is amazing, that only I can talk about this. While DL is on its deathbed, we still do not know how to talk about it, as we can’t have ongoing EL.

 

People keep looking for meaning, but what they actually want, is to be more alive. We are aging beautifully, when we can say what we really feel and know, we have spoken authentically. Our EL makes us feel alive and EL gives meaning to our lives, because we can accurately express what we need and have our needs fulfilled. Our pride in having accomplished our goals, makes aging a process of increased gratefulness. By contrast, in DL, we are like a doll or a robot, who seems alife.

 

Alife is an adjective, that describes something that is animated or has the appearance of being alive, but is actually not alive. So, alife is not the same as alive, as the former refers to DL, while the latter refers to EL. To put it bluntly: with DL, we can only pretend, with our language, as if we are alive, but only with EL are we truly alive. Wisdom and aging are related, but only with EL.  

 

 

Personal,

 

Let's finally get personal. Contrary to what everyone believes and says about this, in our everyday conversations, we are completely impersonal, since we are all used to talking with Disembodied Language (DL). People say that talk doesn't fill holes (Dutch expression), but it is and has always been a blatant lie, that merely talking won't do anything. There is, indeed, always a negative consequence of our usual, negative, unconscious way of speaking and it is high time that we dare to take personal responsibility for this.

 

Even though no one wants to admit it, the fact is, in our ordinary - but required - way of speaking, we do not listen to ourselves and continue to pretend that others should listen to us or we pretend, that we are listening to them . In DL, we unknowingly pretend to listen to others or we assume that others should be listening to us. This remains an unaddressed phenomenon of enormous proportions, because we deal with DL, day in, day out and are, therefore, absolutely incapable of distinguishing between our DL and our Embodied Language (EL).

 

From our conditioning history, 

no one is capable of having EL. 

So, we are all in the same boat 

and it is actually not something

 personal, that we have DL. Only

 someone with EL is truly personal.

 With DL, we can only pretend, 

that something is personal to us.

Moreover, when – with DL – 

we talk about our grievances 

or passions, we are always

 unknowingly faking it. As

 speakers, during DL, we 

demand the listener's attention. 

In DL, speakers always demand 

attention, but in EL, speakers

 give attention to the listener. 

The difference is enormous. 

 

Even though everyone, from the impersonal conditioning history, remains busy with DL, we, in Western, individualistic, democratic societies, apparently still agree, due to the freedom of speech - which in the United States is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution – that we should be allowed to speak about anything, no matter how confrontational or uncomfortable it may be when we strongly disagree. Nevertheless, the difference between DL and EL is avoided by everyone like the plague. 

 

I have lived in the United States for many years and now want to say something about the left- and right-wing politics. Exclusively left-wing, 'liberal' activists prefer to avoid conversation or even make it impossible. Due to the lack of communication and the complicity of school administrators, teachers, doctors, psychologists, therapists, politicians and social media companies, thousands of children are changing their sexuality and pretending this is okay, while nothing indicates, life is improving for those who, because of confusion, have taken on a different  gender. It is very personal, that children have been indoctrinated and that in recent years, trans-clinics have suddenly appeared everywhere. That a female judge, of the Supreme Court, is unable to say what a woman is, is pure madness, but it is the predictable, inevitable consequence of how people – with their superstitious, insensitive DL – talk to each other.

 

The American philosophy of life,

liberty and the pursuit of 

happiness, does not come

 – according to me – from

 the English, but from the 

Dutch colonists. The vast 

majority of Americans - if 

they’ve learned anything 

about it at all - do not know

 any better that their history

 only begins with the Pilgrim

 Fathers, but they have no 

idea, that a Dutch colony 

existed in the seventeenth 

century, called New Netherlands

 or New Amsterdam, which

 was later renamed New York

 by English colonists. The term

 Yan-kee – a resident of New 

England, and later, American – 

is a corruption of Jan-Kees, 

two common Dutch names

and dollar, comes from the 

Dutch thaler (daalder), which

 is undoubtedly a reference to

 the tolerant Dutch commercial

notion that we can profit from trade 

and become rich, which  

became an important part of the 

American national character.

 

The Dutch - liberal - influence is of a completely different nature, than the puritan influence of the English colonists, who, to avoid persecution, first fled to the Netherlands and after that, founded their fundamentalistic Christian colony in America. However, those British, who first came to the Netherlands, they wanted to leave very soon, because they took offense to the Dutch mentality, they believed was too loose. Of course, it was also their adventurer's or freedom's urge, that made them dare to take the dangerous crossing across the Atlantic Ocean with the May Flower. I dare say, the change from DL to EL is equally monumental. 

 

I have the feeling - even though I only emigrated to America in 1999 - I embody something of the Dutch colonists at the time, because I was born and raised in the Netherlands. The exam that you take as an emigrant contains some questions about English Pilgrims, but not a word about Dutch colonists. The Dutch influence is also not mentioned anywhere in any history book, and I find it important, to once more write about it here.

 

My cultural contribution, to my new country, is my fearless ability to demonstrate the difference between DL and EL. In fact, it was the Dutch, who created The American Dream, not the English. I view my ability to have EL, as a connection to the irrefutable Dutch influence on American culture. Numerous translated documents show, that the multi-ethnic immigrant society had its origins in New Amsterdam. It was only there, that everyone, regardless of skin color or origin, could climb the social ladder. Things were very different in the intolerant English colony. Like their modern-day, narrow-minded descendants, who are still obsessed with Christianity, they also condemned the Dutch at that time, who enjoyed their life. The Dutch mirrored to the English, how stuck and unhappy they are.

 

Please, consider the foregoing as an introduction and a setting of the stage, for the issue I want to talk about in this writing. The difference between DL and EL, is a vast topic that, just like the unknown, but very important, Dutch influence on American history, is pushed aside by everyone. Other topics are apparently of greater importance; therefore, we never get around to recognizing and admitting that the great difference between DL and EL exists, and that the future of America as well as the rest of the world, depends on whether we are going to accept and explore the importance of this difference or not.

 

By not recognizing the difference between DL and EL, we are involuntarily and unconsciously talking about our own experience, but if we keep endlessly busy, with those weighty topics (politics, religion, philosophy, sports, economics, immigration, art, entertainment, etc., etc), which prevent us from addressing the difference between DL and EL, then we - as individuals - without realizing, continue to hide behind some group, we supposedly represent or belong to. Supposedly, we always speak on behalf of others, but never on our own behalf. However, EL is the language of the individual. The naturalization process should mean, that every new immigrant should be able to distinguish between DL and EL and is able to choose EL, the language of freedom.

 

Only when we start discussing the difference between DL and EL, does everything suddenly become personal. Moreover, after recognizing the difference between DL and EL, it becomes clear to us that only with EL – and never with DL – can we understand why so much goes wrong in so-called communication, in peace-talks, in negotiations, and in all of the conversations, in which the difference between what we personally experience and what we keep harping on, as participants of one faith or another, is mixed-up and intertwined and during which personal experience or own way of looking at things, always wins out over presumed 'advocacy' due to membership and allegiance to some group.

 

During DL, we are unknowingly speaking from our personal experience about what we believe to be dealing with as a group. In fact, in DL, we hide our individuality behind the group process and abuse that group process to our own 'benefit'. Although it is always only about power and influence, this normal, customary, accepted exploitation of the group process for one's own gain, never results in any clarity about the major difference between DL and EL. On the contrary, people continue to turn away from anything personal, as taking it personal, is considered by everyone, who wants to take a higher step to gain status on the social ladder, as a weakness. Persistence in safely representing the pretended group interest, is best defense against any criticism of our own personal behavior, which is conveniently ignored as an ad-hominem attack.

 

The higher one climbs on the social ladder, the less chance there is, that one will be held accountable for something that is personal. Everyone protects and defends themselves politically or strategically. People sometimes babble about the politicization or weaponization of all kinds of issues or institutions, but they run away from the indisputable fact, which is visible – and audible – to anyone, that everyone in DL does not listen to themselves and only acts as if they listen to others and are actually trying to force others to listen to them or simply try to make them do what they say. In DL, we manipulate, dominate, humiliate, intimidate and argue, but we never speak naturally, honestly, sincerely, as an individual.

 

By competing for attention – the basis of DL – we are and will always remain impersonal. We also demand a lot of attention by saying nothing and by avoiding any form of interaction. The victim's role very effectively commands the attention of others. This is also done during verbal the acrobatics in the courtroom or in politics. Lawyers, like priests and many other so-called leaders, always insist that they speak on behalf of others. Legislators and lawyers control the entire public discourse and determine what is acceptable. However, when we ourselves determine the difference between our own DL and EL, it turns out, that nobody knows anything about their own DL and EL and that we have relinquished our power to others, to our own detriment. I would say, it is un-American to do this. With EL everything we say and do is personal, not because we take it personal - as they accusingly say in DL - but because it is truly personal and because, from our DL, there has always been a rigid condemnation about what we ourselves experience. I consider EL to be the currency of the future, as it signifies the dignity of the person who has it. With our continued EL, we revive The American Dream, because our Language Enlightenment (LE), means Living in Freedom and creating the spoken realization of our Happiness.

 

Everything is personal, due to EL, as that is exactly where our challenge lies. Only in EL is there is real progress and innovation. Finally, our individualistic, personal approach, will emphasize and guarantee honest, dignified, conscious objectivity – our LE – and will not, as in DL, condemn, abhor and deny it.

 Persoonlijk,

 

Laten wij eens eindelijk persoonlijk worden. In tegenstelling tot wat iedereen hierover gelooft en zegt, zijn wij, in onze alledaagse gesprekken, volslagen onpersoonlijk, omdat wij er nou eenmaal allemaal aan gewend zijn, om vanuit Ontlichaamde Taal (OT) te praten. Men zegt wel, praatjes vullen geen gaatjes, maar het is en  blijft een faliekante leugen, dat praten alleen niets uit zou richten. Er is wel degelijk een – nadelig – gevolg van de gebruikelijke, negatieve, onbewuste wijze, waarop wij telkens spreken en het is hoog tijd, dat wij daar eens persoonlijk verantwoordelijkheid voor durven gaan nemen.

 

Ook al wil niemand dit toegeven, het feit is, dat wij gedurende onze gewone – maar vereiste – manier van spreken, niet naar onszelf luisteren en blijven doen alsof anderen naar ons zouden moeten luisteren of pretenderen, dat wij naar hen aan het luisteren zouden zijn. In OT, doen we, ongemerkt, alsof we naar anderen luisteren, of we gaan ervan uit, dat anderen dus naar ons zouden moeten luisteren. Dit blijft vooralsnog een ongeaddresseerd fenomeen van enorme properties, omdat wij ons, dag in, dag uit, met OT inlaten, en daardoor absoluut niet in staat zijn, om onderscheid te maken tussen OT en Belichaamde Taal (BT).

 

Vanuit de conditionering is niemand in staat om BT te hebben. We zitten dus allemaal in hetzelfde schuitje en het is eigenlijk niet iets persoonlijks, dat wij OT hebben. Enkel iemand met BT is werkelijk persoonlijk. Met OT kunnen wij slechts alleen maar doen alsof iets persoonlijk voor ons is. Wanneer wij – met OT – over onze grieven of onze passies spreken, zijn wij altijd ongemerkt aan het faken. Als spreker eisen wij, in OT, de aandacht van de luisteraar. In OT, vergen sprekers de aandacht, maar in BT, geven sprekers de aandacht aan de luisteraar.

 

Ook al is iedereen, vanuit de onpersoonlijke conditionerings geschiedenis, met OT bezig, toch zijn wij, in Westerse, individualistische, democratische maatschappijen, het schijnbaar nog steeds met elkaar eens, dat wij, vanwege de vrijheid van meningsuiting – die overigens in de Verenigde Staten ligt vastgelegd in het eerste amendement van de grondwet – zouden mogen spreken over wat dan ook, zelfs al is dit nog zo confronterend of oncomfortabel, omdat wij het niet met elkaar eens zijn. Desalniettemin, wordt het gigantisch belangrijke verschil tussen OT en DT door iedereen angstvallig uit de weg gegaan.

 

Ik woon al vele jaren in de Verenigde Staten en wil iets zeggen over linkse en rechtse politiek. Uitsluitend linkse, ‘liberale’ activisten, willen conversatie het liefst uit de weg gaan of zelfs onmogelijk maken. Vanwege het gebrek aan communicatie en de medeplichtigheid van school-besturen, leraren, artsen, psychologen, therapeuten, politici en media, laten duizenden kinderen hun sexualiteit veranderen, en doet men alsof dit okay is, terwijl niets erop wijst, dat het leven erop vooruit gaat, voor hen, die vanwege verwarring, een andere sekse hebben genomen. Het is heel persoonlijk, dat kinderen zijn geindoctrineerd, en dat er, in de laatste jaren, ineens overal trans-klinieken verschijnen. Dat een vrouwelijke rechter, van het hoogste gerechtshof, niet in staat is, om te zeggen wat een vrouw is, is waanzin, die het voorspelbare, onvermijdelijke gevolg is van hoe mensen – met bijgelovige OT – met elkaar praten.

 

De Amerikaanse filosofie, leven, vrijheid en geluk nastreven (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) is volgens mij niet van Engelse, maar van Nederlandse kolonisten afkomstig. Een onpersoonlijk gegeven is, dat verreweg de meeste Amerikanen – indien zij er uberhaupt iets over hebben geleerd – niet beter weten, dat hun geschiedenis begint bij de Pilgrim Fathers, maar er geen flauw benul van hebben, dat er in de zeventiende eeuw een Nederlandse kolonie bestond, die Nieuw Nederland of Nieuw Amsterdam heette, wat later, door Engelse kolonisten, tot New York werd omgedoopt. Het woord Yan-kee – wat inwoner van New England betekende, en later, Amerikaan – is een verbastering van Jan-Kees en dollar, komt van de Nederlandse daalder, wat zonder meer een verwijzing is naar de tolerante Nederlandse handels-geest, die zo’n belangrijk onderdeel is geworden van de Amerikaanse volksaard.

 

De Nederlandse – liberale – invloed is van een totaal andere aard, dan de puriteinse invloed van de Engelse kolonisten, die, om vervolging te ontkomen, eerst naar Nederland vluchtten, om vervolgens in Amerika hun fundamentalische Christelijke staat te stichten. Die Engelsen, die  eerst naar Nederland waren gekomen, wilden echter gauw weer weg, want ze hadden moeite met de Nederlandse mentaliteit, die volgens hen te losbandig was. Uiteraard was het ook hun avonturier’s of vrijheid’s drang, die hen de gevaarlijke oversteek over de Atlantische oceaan deed wagen met de May Flower.  

 

Ik heb het gevoel, dat ik – ook al emigreerde ik pas in 1999 naar Amerika – iets belichaam van de toenmalige Hollandse kolonisten, want ik ben geboren en getogen in Nederland. Er staan in het examen, dat je als emigrant doet, wat vragen over Pilgrims, maar niet over Nederlandse kolonisten. Ook wordt de Nederlandse invloed in geen enkel geschiedenis boek vermeldt en vind ik het van belang, om hierover te schrijven.

 

Mijn kulturele bijdrage aan mijn nieuwe land is mijn onverschrokken vermogen, om het verschil aan te tonen, tussen OT en BT. Eigenlijk waren het altijd al de Nederlanders, die The American Dream hadden gecreerd en niet de Engelsen. Ik bezie mijn vermogen, om BT te hebben, als een aansluiting bij de onweerlegbare Nederlandse invloed op de Amerikaanse kultuur. Uit tal van vertaalde documenten, blijkt over-duidelijk, dat de multi-etnische immigranten samenleving zijn oorsprong had in New Amsterdam. Het was alleen daar, dat iedereen, ongeacht huidskleur of komaf kon klimmen op de sociale ladder. In de Engelse kolonie ging het er heel anders aan toe. Net als hun hedendaagse, nog steeds van het Christendom bezeten, bekrompen nazaten, veroordeelden zij ook toen al de Nederlanders, omdat die van het leven genoten en daardoor aantoonden, dat zij eigenlijk ongelukkig waren.

 

Het voorafgaande is slechts een introduktie en een sfeer-setting, van waar ik het hier over wil hebben. Het verschil tussen OT en BT, is een veel-omvattend onderwerp, dat, net als de onbekende, maar zeer belangrijke, Nederlandse invloed op de Amerikaanse geschiedenis, door iedereen aan de kant wordt geschoven. Andere onderwerpen zijn schijnbaar van groter belang en daardoor komen wij er nooit aan toe, om te erkennen, dat het grote verschil tussen OT en BT bestaat, en dat het, voor de toekomst van Amerika, maar eigenlijk voor de toekomst van de gehele mensheid, van enorm groot  belang is.

 

Bij het erkennen van het opmerkelijke verschil tussen OT en BT, hebben wij het onwillekeurig altijd over onze eigen ervaring, maar indien wij  eindeloos bezig blijven met al die gewichtige onderwerpen (politiek, religie, filosofie, sport, economie, immigratie, kunst, vermaak, etc., etc), die ons ervan weerhouden, om over het verschil tussen OT en BT te praten, dan blijven wij ons – als individu – zonder daar erg in te hebben, verschuilen achter een of andere groep, die wij zogenaamd vertegenwoordigen of waartoe wij zeggen te behoren, omdat wij het woord te voeren voor anderen. In dit geval, spreken wij dus nooit namens onszelf. BT is de taal van het individu. Het naturalisatie proces zou, volgens mij moeten inhouden, dat iedere immigrant in staat zou moeten  zijn om OT van BT te onderscheiden en om aldus voor BT te kunnen kiezen.

   

Enkel wanneer wij het verschil tussen OT en BT gaan bespreken, wordt alles ineens persoonlijk. Bovendien wordt het ons duidelijk, nadat wij het verschil tussen OT en BT hebben erkend, dat wij alleen met BT – maar nooit met OT – kunnen begrijpen, waarom er zoveel mis gaat in de zogenaamde communicatie, in het overleg, in de onderhandelingen, en in al de gesprekken, waarin het verschil tussen, wat wij persoonlijk ervaren, en waarop wij maar blijven hameren, als deelnemers van een of andere geloof, door elkaar loopt en waartijdens het de persoonlijke ervaring of eigen kijkwijze betreft, die het altijd wint van de ‘belangen-behartiging’ vanwege onze lidmaatschap bij een of andere groep.

 

Wij zijn, in DL, altijd onbewust bezig, om vanuit onze eigen persoonlijke belevenis te spreken over waar wij zogezegd als groep mee te maken zouden hebben. In feite verschuilen wij, in OT, onze individualiteit achter het groeps-proces en misbruiken wij dat groeps-proces, om daar ons eigen ‘voordeel’ mee te doen. Ofschoon het  altijd gaat over macht en invloed, dit gewone, gebruikelijke, geaccepteerde uitbuiten van het groeps-proces voor eigen gewin, heeft nooit tot gevolg, dat er duidelijkheid onstaat over het grote verschil tussen OT en BT. Integendeel, men blijft bezig, om zich van het persoonlijke af te wenden, want dan zouden wij het letterlijk –  persoonlijk – gaan nemen en dat wordt door iedereen, die uit is op het innemen van een hogere trede of status op de maatschappelijke ladder, beschouwd als een zwakte. Volharding in het vertegenwoordigen van het voorgewende groeps-belang is de beste afweer tegen iedere kritiek op ons persoonlijk gedrag, die altijd daardoor als ad-hominem wordt genegeerd.

 

Hoe hoger men klimt, op de maatschappelijke ladder, hoe minder kans er nog is, dat wij zullen worden aangesproken op iets, dat persoonlijk is, maar waar iedereen zich hiertegen politiek of strategisch indekt. Men bazelt wel eens wat over de politizering of bewapening van allerlei kwesties of instituties, maar loopt weg van het, voor iedereen waarneembare, onomstotelijke feit, dat iedereen in OT niet naar zichzelf luistert en dus alleen maar acteert, dat ze naar anderen luisteren en er eigenlijk alleen maar op uit zijn om anderen te dwingen, naar hen te luisteren, en om hen te laten doen, wat zij zeggen. In OT, manipuleren, domineren, vernederen, intimideren en argumenteren we, maar we spreken nooit op een natuurlijke wijze.

 

In het strijden om de aandacht – wat de basis is van OT – zijn en blijven wij altijd onpersoonlijk. Ook eisen wij natuurlijk de aandacht, door niets te zeggen, en door iedere vorm van interaktie uit de weg te gaan. De slacht-offer’s rol dwingt heel effectief de aandacht van anderen af. Ook wordt dat gedaan tijdens de verbale acrobatiek in de rechtzaal of de politiek. Advokaten doen, net als priesters of andere zogenaamde leiders, altijd het zegje voor anderen. Deze wet-gevers hebben de gehele publieke conversatie onder de duim en zij bepalen wat aanvaardbaar is of niet. Wanneer wij echter zelf het verschil tussen onze eigen OT en BT gaan bepalen, dan blijkt, dat niemand eigenlijk iets weet van OT en BT en dat wij ten nadele van onszelf, de macht uit handen hebben gegeven. Met BT is alles wat wij zeggen en doen persoonlijk, niet omdat wij het – zoals men in OT zegt – persoonlijk nemen, maar omdat het echt persoonlijk is en omdat er, vanuit OT, altijd al een strenge veroordeling is geweest, naar wat wij zelf ervaren. Ik beschouw  BT als het nieuwe betaal middel, omdat het de waardigheid bepaalt van de persoon, die het heeft. Met voortgaande BT wordt The American Dream nieuw leven ingeblazen, omdat wij met onze Taal Verlichting (TV), in Leven met Vrijheid,  de gesproken realizatie van ons Geluk creeren.

 

Alles wordt persoonlijk vanwege onze BT, want daar ligt de uitdaging en alleen daarin is de echte vooruitgang en vernieuwing. Tot slot, onze individualistische benadering met BT, zal onze persoonlijke, waardige, bewuste, eerlijke, objectiviteit – TV – benadrukken en niet, zoals in OT, veroordelen, verafschuwen en ontkennen.
