Talking,
I always want to talk about my Embodied
Language (EL) because I know I can do it when most other people really can't.
Continuing to research my EL has allowed me to learn things that could not have
been revealed in any other way. When I first noticed the difference between my
Disembodied Language (DL) and my EL, I had no idea where my EL was going to
take me. I was amazed at the undeniable fact that my DL had suddenly ceased and
that I had apparently somehow brought this about. Moreover, I proved to be able
to continue with my EL untrained, effortlessly and confidently.
EL is the ability to speak in complete
peace and quiet. No one with DL could ever realize that it is possible and
pleasant to speak from a sense of supreme sensitivity. It is then a matter of
surrender, since you are no longer focused on what you say, but how you say it.
And the meaning of what you say is determined by how you sound. There is no
threat in EL and you feel completely at ease. To speak without fear is to say
what makes you happy. That can be anything and that is why it is very important
to say everything that can be said. If we want to continue with EL, we set
ourselves the task of also speaking about what we don't know.
Talking without knowing what we are going
to talk about is a big taboo, as no one is in charge and the conversation
develops naturally. Our habitual way of speaking is mechanical because, before
we open our mouths, we already know what we are going to say and because what
we all pretend is what we say is the most important thing. The discomfort and
stress of pretending is why we can recognize our DL. For example, when we begin
to listen to ourselves - which is something we don't do in DL - we realize that
we are speaking with a voice that we actually dislike. We continue to hold
judgments about ourselves because we hardly speak with a sound that expresses
our well-being.
In EL, we find out that it is very
important to sound the way we want to sound while talking to each other, but
during DL we don't listen to each other because we don't even listen to
ourselves. The so-called great importance of true listening is discussed repeatedly,
but we only talk about listening to others and never about listening to
ourselves. Listening to ourselves, however, is much more important than
listening to others, because listening to ourselves enables us to listen to
others.
Obedience is not only the compulsive listening
to attention-demanding speakers, but also the
obligatory forgetting to listen to ourselves.
Regardless of what culture we grew up in, we
are all conditioned to have DL, in which we
must listen to some authority outside of ourselves.
So, eventually, when we begin to pay attention
to listening to ourselves, we tend to punish
ourselves because we have been taught – implicitly –
that doing so is immoral. Also, it becomes clear
to us that in DL we have remained unconscious
and ignorant of ourselves because, during our
normal speech, the speaker is supposedly more
important than the listener.
When we have EL and thus talk to ourselves,
the same phenomenon still occurs that the so-called speaker in us seems to be
more important than the so-called listener in us. There is, of course, no
speaker in us who speaks or a listener in us who listens, therefore in EL we
can speak listening, because our speaking and our listening are synchronized.
In other words, in EL we are freed from the illogical and therefore very
problematic reasoning that listening to ourselves is meaningless. In EL our own
intelligence unfolds, which I call Language Enlightenment (LE). Our own logic
is at odds with what is socially expected of us.
Moral or morality is what we see as good
behavior and that means that we don't kill anyone, but we also don't steal or
hurt anyone intentionally. In DL, speakers pretend that listeners should keep
listening and thus never become speakers. Also, DL- speakers pretend that they
cannot or should not listen to themselves and that others should listen to
them. Even though the listener is not literally killed, he or she is not given
a chance to speak in DL. So speakers and preachers with DL are immoral, because
DL is behavior in which we continue to short-change ourselves and each other.
