Naturally,
Of course, Embodied Language (EL) has its
place in our daily lives. If not, it would be utterly pointless to discontinue our
Disembodied Language (DL) and explore what other positive effects arise from
our ongoing EL. It is precisely these remarkable consequences which make EL so
attractive: this brings our Language Enlightenment (LE) to light.
The many awesome aspects of our new
handling of our language produce an enormous contrast to our usual oppressive,
superficial way of speaking, which causes and modifies all of our other
behaviors. The enormous difference between our EL and our DL evokes the unforgettable,
astonishing perception, we have indeed
missed out on something profound, beautiful, delightful and important, because
of our boring, automatic, phony, forceful, unnatural DL.
The subtlety of our EL is unprecedented and
we can't help but admit that all our other behaviors are completely dwarfed by
this, because we suddenly realize that our other behavior has sprung from DL. It
is truly devastating. So, whenever we, for the first time, discover our EL, we recognize,
there's really nothing else left for us to do, but to somehow stop our entire behavioral
repertoire, which, of course, kept our
DL going. It's very simple. For example, someone who may smokes cigarettes,
someone else believes in God and another person insists that he or she is always
right. Behavior is lawful, thus it is predictable, that when such a person ceases
such behavior, an immediate increase in EL will occur.
Anyone who wants to continue to enjoy their EL, will
have to make many absolutely necessary adjustments.
They can no longer afford to stupidly smoke, to
superstitiously believe in a higher power or to
arrogantly pretend they supposedly always know it
better than others. Quitting such foolish, tense,
self-defeating behavior is a true liberation. The person,
who has now become able to continue with his or her
EL, has achieved this all by him or herself and has
thereby acquired a dignity, which he or she wants to keep.
Instead of inferior behavior, a dignified, respectful,
sensitive, intelligent behavior now emerges, which
makes him or her happy and fulfilled. Obviously, this
individual transformative experience also has major
social consequences, as the person, who has withdrawn
from DL, no longer participates in the struggle and the
conflict, those who have DL, unconsciously, continue
to engage in.
EL creates a space, an opportunity or a connection
that, without any pressure or expectation, will bring about renewal and innovation
to the behavior of others. Naturally, EL in one person evokes the EL in
another, and that other person - who most likely doesn't want to hear or know about
the difference between DL and EL - is going to have EL, all by itself and unnoticed,
even though the person who knows that he or she has EL, never discusses EL with
them. I experience this each day in my job. It is impossible for me to talk
about DL or EL with the people there.
In my previous work situations, I often still was making
the mistake of expecting others to be able to talk to me
about the contradiction between DL and EL. I used to
elaborate in vain on matters that I now manage to keep
to myself. It's much better this way and I'm glad I can
do that now, while before I had problems with that. In
the meantime it is also clear to me, that there is actually
no one to talk to, who still has DL. This was unimaginable
for me, just a short time ago, but now it is the most
normal thing in the world. I have, to my own surprise,
stopped talking to people who still have DL. I don't even
feel the need anymore - I felt so strongly for such a long
time - to talk about EL with others, who have DL.
I'm now with both of my feet on the ground,
so to speak. I'm just doing my job and my life has never been so peaceful. My
free weekend is a pleasant change from my busy work, where I do exactly what
needs to be done. I've had many jobs in my life, but this job is special since I
was chosen for it. I deliver irrigation products to all kinds of companies and
projects and drive to different sites my big truck. I always do more than I
have to, because I want to do it. My physical work makes me important in a way
I've never felt important. It has something to do with my manhood. I feel really
needed and I love it, to be able to meet what is expected of me. All of this
only became possible after I made the decision – for myself – never to speak
about EL to people at work.
I am very proud of myself that I can continue
with my EL in my work and am therefore aware of my freedom. No one stands in
the way of my progress with EL anymore, because I myself recognize how it works
for me. This certainly wasn't always the case, but now that I've figured out what to do and
what not to do, it's all so straight forward. Surely, there is no compulsion to do anything, but I simply know
that some behaviors work, while others don't. I only want be involved in behavior
that works for me and I have effortlessly, almost unnoticeably, stopped doing
what doesn't work. I am still amazed at how easy my life now is, but how
difficult it was, when I had DL. Because my EL has increased so much, my LE has
started to shine. I remember, like yesterday, how hesitant I was, to address my
LE. Instead of uncertainty, I experience
the power of who I am.
