Mystery,

 

Every night, as long as you are sleep, you don’t know who you are. Especially, when you don’t have any dreams, you wake up completely rejuvenated. However, the moment you open your eyes again, you put on the world – or what you believe to be your reality – like a coat, you behave again how you remember yourself to be. Perhaps, you would like to sleep some more and be without your identity? Since there is no problem, during your sleep, to be without an identity and since it is, in fact, required for good sleep, you can also be immensely happy during the day, without having your usual identity.   

 

When you talk out loud with yourself and listen to what the sound of your voice tells you, you engage in Embodied Language (EL) and enter the space in which you can dream your Language Enlightenment (LE). Talking out loud with yourself about your LE, is like dreaming while being awake. By saying what you want to say and can say, you experience the mystery of creating your own reality with your EL.

 

We have all heard, read or even talked about, the presumed importance of transcending our ego, but no matter what we do, we always assume, that we remain confined in or by our so-called mind. Stated differently, during the day, when we experience our waking consciousness, we continue – like we do in our strange dreams at night – our entanglement with language. Yet, these so-called mental, inner, covert activities subside, once we express our LE.  

 

During our usual way of talking, in which we do not and cannot listen to ourselves while we speak – as listening to others is more important than listening to ourselves – we engage unconsciously, habitually, and automatically in Disembodied Language (DL), the way of talking, which gives rise to the illusion that we are, who we seem to be and believe to be.

 

If we don’t pay any attention to how we sound, we are bound to produce a vocal vibration, which is disembodied and, consequently, unknowingly, we are constantly negatively affected by the effortful, energy-consuming, demanding sound of what we wrongly consider to be our normal speaking-voice. Surely, when we take our first steps into allowing ourselves to have EL, we will produce the sound of our wellbeing, while we speak and our voice sounds and feels very different from how we sounded and felt during DL. To put it squarely, in DL, we speak as  a somebody, but in EL, we only speak as a nobody. Moreover, if you talk with me, nobody has more to say than somebody, therefore, my EL has right of way over your DL. If you can’t have EL, you simply cannot talk with me or someone else who has EL.  

 

LE is the mystery of creating our own reality with EL. The effortless production of our language occurs, as we allow our voice to guide us, into what we want to say and can say. Since there is absolutely no fear,  conflict, stress or pressure during EL, we are able to speak without having any author-ship, as we know, there is no speaker, only speaking. Likewise, there is only listening, but there is no listener. Furthermore, our speaking and listening behaviors are joined, as they happen at the same rate and simultaneously.

 

To someone, who is used to having DL every day, it is incomprehensible, that the whole notion of being a speaker or a listener is completely gone, due to a new way of talking, in which we listen to ourselves instead of to others. However, when we begin to do this, the joyful results will be evident, every step of the way. To be without who we believed ourselves to be is a tremendous relief, as we finally trust our own language. After we have said it, after we have heard it, after we have written it and after we have read it (let’s not forget, there is also no writer or reader), we will act on it, as we know, that it is true.

 

We can and will have EL with others, after we have explored our EL on our own. These others are, like us, also nobodies. All the somebodies continue with their DL, but without us, as our LE urges us to retire from DL. Initially, we still feel, as if we are missing out on something, by withdrawing from DL, but this is necessary, as it allows us to continue EL on our own. We get used to being nobody, as we receive, experience and enjoy the gift of our LE. Thus, in EL, we will all be enlightened together and the mystery of our combined LE is the future of all of mankind.
