Naturally,
Everyone
is, in one way or another, always busy, with a lot of pain and effort, doing
this or that, in the hope that this (or that) will lead to better results. In
that way, however, no real improvement can ever take place, because our
ingrained, obsessive tendency to want to change something all the time and, therefore,
to maintain the illusion of control, no matter what, holds back the change.
Change
which improves our lives happens naturally, but change for the worse, is the always
the result of Disembodied Language (DL), our habitual, phony, energy-consuming, experience-negating way of
speaking. In contrast, Embodied Language (EL), happens all by itself, and the
changes that result from it have exactly the same, natural, effortless,
dignified and simple character.
The
fascinating fact that EL reveals our Language Enlightenment (LE) in an organic,
understandable and self-evident way, does not mean that LE can be acquired by
chance. On the contrary, LE becomes clear to us only when we focus all our
attention on our ability to have EL. There is no effort involved in EL, but many
efforts must be made to stop our DL.
Whenever
we could – while listening and speaking and intently considering our
experiences – step out of our conditioning with DL and then, effortlessly, engage
in EL, with ourselves, by ourselves, welcome consequences of our temporary EL
are tangible and perceptible. All of a sudden, many things are much easier for
us. However, these out of the ordinary changes
are so subtle and minimal, we hardly notice them because of our expectation of
a major change.
Ongoing
EL is only possible when we let go of all our expectations. This would mean, that,
although we repeatedly talk with ourselves, we do absolutely nothing about the
acknowledged and accepted fact that we feel, for example, dissatisfied, angry,
lonely, depressed, jealous, addicted, forgetful, victimized, sexually-twisted or
emotionally feeling confused. Of course, this could also mean, we consider
ourselves to be more important than others, we would like to tell others what
to do, we want power or we are ashamed to admit our need for safety,
simplicity, peace, love, beauty and… attention.
When
we talk with EL about our DL, we can finally understand that all our previous attempts
to talk to DL about our DL, were doomed to failure and we have therefore, unconsciously,
given up trying to map out and explore, why we repeatedly keep talking, in the
mechanical way, that we usually do. In other words, before we came to recognize
the stark difference between our DL and EL, our imposed, rehearsed, compulsive,
hypocritical DL was never before been stopped by our own skill. Successfully
stopping our own DL will irrevocably progress our EL.
As
mentioned, only then will our DL be stopped - and thus all related,
self-denying, self-defeating, self-confident and so-called self-assured
behaviors truly come to an end and we don't have to wait (hahaha ) anxiously,
until we have perished, to rest finally in peace – when we continue to focus
all our attention and energy on how we actually use our own language. Although
it may not seem so at first, EL is not a one-time, ephemeral issue, but a
lasting change, that will continue to challenge us to stop being content with
our conditioning with DL, which can only be effectively uprooted by our EL.
Solitude
is a very valuable quality. Someone who is psychologically mature is self-sufficient
and likes to be alone. From DL, however, there is a big judgment towards those
who don’t participate, who therefore prefer to be left alone. They are looked
down upon and described as monotonous, self-absorbed, people-shy, introverted and
anti-social, but when we have EL, it turns out to be precisely these people who
joyfully realize, that EL is synonymous with freedom, comfort, authenticity and
openness.
Our
ongoing EL can only come about when we catch ourselves, again and again - as
often as necessary - that we have DL again. By acknowledging and by accepting that
this is really so, our DL stops and then turns into EL. We do ourselves a great
favor every time we experience this and begin to embody our true nature in this
ecstatic way. Certainly, it's a miracle, that our LE, naturally allows us to
come out of our long history of conditioning with DL.
