Generally,

 

Generally speaking, people, everywhere around the world mainly, engage in Disembodied Language (DL) and only occasionally, accidentally, and, therefore,  quite rarely, experience some Embodied Language (EL). We still, sometimes, unconsciously, happen to have some EL, because human nature doesn’t go away, even though we live absurd and tragic lives, due to the way in which we deal with our language.

 

Generally speaking, people have no understanding at all about the difference between DL and EL, yet, they pretend to know about this difference, while they endlessly argue with their own DL over the DL of others. If they had known about the difference between DL and EL, they wouldn’t even attempt to address our general tendency towards DL with DL, but they would, like I do here, address it with EL.

 

Generally speaking, all writing is based on the way in which we habitually speak. Consequently, we are, unknowingly, not only, most of the time, engaging in dull DL as we speak, but we also only read stupid writings, which are derived from our common DL. It isn’t known to us, that everything we read is based on DL, since writings as these, cannot be produced.

 

Generally speaking, fear remains the foundation for our unintelligent, insensitive and superficial way of dealing with language, because, someone like me, who is able to produce ongoing EL, is constantly, completely ignored by everyone with DL. At best, I am tolerated, but I am never accepted, in the sense that others allow themselves to have EL with me.

 

Generally speaking, the shift from DL to EL, that is, the shift from fear to fearlessness, isn’t happening, because it cannot be addressed by anyone with DL. Someone famous once said: the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, which illustrates my point, as it is clearly an example of addressing DL with  more DL. Any threat undermines our verbal ability itself.

 

Generally speaking, listeners don’t realize, that they  don’t like to listen to speakers with DL, but actually enjoy hearing the sound of a speaker with EL. They have not attentively, deliberately, and, continuously  listened to themselves and, therefore, they cannot acknowledge this rarely addressed fact. And, most importantly, surely they hate to hear their own DL.  

 

Generally speaking, we don’t accept or explore the delight of listening to ourselves, while we speak, as listening to others, that is, listening to the coercive, manipulative, dominating speakers, is considered to be more important in DL. When we somehow have found our way to writings as these – which derive from my EL – we fear acknowledging what we read.

 

Generally speaking, because we treat ourselves as if we are someone else, we fear listening to ourselves. There are many ways to describe this. For instance, let’s consider the sentence: I feel good. Presumably, there is the experiencer, the I and the experience of feeling good. We talk as if we are separate from our own experience, but we are always that experience.

 

Generally speaking, due to our usual DL, we have only heard about the imaginary separation between the speaker and the listener, but when we listen to ourselves while we speak, we recognize in our own EL, that such a separation doesn’t exist. Thus, our so-called struggle within ourselves, between what we supposedly feel and think, doesn’t even arise.

 

Generally speaking, DL, the divisive way in which we keep using our language, is hopelessly ineffective. It is only in writings, such as these, that we can begin to get a sense of our own, personally experienced, living truth, that any type of conflict and effort has always prevented us from having EL. In ongoing EL we can finally recover from our long history with DL.
