Senseless,

 

While you may have nothing but doubts – about who you really are, about your so-called true identity, about who you believe to be – there is simply no doubt about one thing: you just feel hopeless, helpless, and distraught . If you start talking to yourself out loud and keep listening to the sound of your own voice, then you can and then you will say all kinds of things that you have never said, but that you can and want to say and that are true for you and of immense importance.

 

You can only humbly, honestly and sensitively admit to yourself that you feel negative all the time, because this unusual, pleasant and sincere way of speaking and therefore this new, innovative, interaction with and entrance into your own language - with others - is almost never possible. Simply put, for yourself it is very easy to have Embodied Language (EL), but with others this free, unique, valuable, rational, candid way of speaking is not or hardly ever feasible. With others, your language is constantly getting out of your hands, because we, unnoticed, habitually always get bogged down in Disembodied Language (DL) with each other.

 

Of course, you cannot help but behave unreasonably or irrationally, as long as our usual, generally accepted and required way of speaking is characterized by dissociation. I call our habitual way of speaking DL, because, due to the lack of attention to the sound of our own voice, we cannot be aware of our bodies. In other words, if we hear our sound as we speak and thus speak listeningly, then we embody, experience, acknowledge and feel really, what we say to ourselves.

 

It is undoubtedly true that all chaos and conflict is  always accompanied by a certain type of verbal behavior. Every human being, with his or her use of language, creates his or her own individual reality. It is undeniably and also inevitably true that as long as we cannot continue to listen to ourselves – while speaking to each other – we will engage in all sorts of other foolish, stupid, useless, rash, pointless, ill-advised, unwise, unwanted, unconscious behaviors.

 

Since we never return or travel back, with our language, to the origin of our language – to the sound perception of our voice – we are, without realizing it and without having suffered brain damage, aphasic. Aphasia is usually understood as a language disorder resulting from an acquired brain injury, but when we come to recognize the vast difference between DL and EL, we irrevocably realize that our conditioned, learned, compulsive, forced, stressful, but colloquial speech (DL) is the cause of generalized language aphasia. DL can be heard everywhere.

 

People with DL always have difficulty with speaking sincerely, attentive listening, genuine understanding, calm reading and joyful writing. However, EL is an effortless, joyful, energizing way of speaking, that gives individual or deeper meaning to our use of language. Although all of humanity is constantly engaged in DL - because no matter how intelligent people are supposed to be, they don't even know the difference between DL and EL - we all feel helpless, hopeless and lost, in our use of language. .

 

There is no significant attention to EL anywhere and this is setting us all up - whether we want to know it or not - into more destructive, escalating, bigger catastrophes. There is no point in having faith in the so-called authorities (scientists, CEOs, politicians, priests, generals, etc.), who, all in an unscrupulous, manipulative, but also unconscious way, know how to use the fact, that one usually feels hopelessly lost. Order has never been brought about by their contribution, which has only brought about the progress of DL. The future of humanity looks grimmer than ever before. We cannot afford to fool ourselves and each other any longer with our lying, manipulative, idiotic, superstitious DL. Only and only with EL is it possible to get out of our malaise.

 

Anyone who – despite all the violence, who despite all the distractions, who despite all the negativity caused and sustained by DL – has managed to retain some sensitivity and sanity can hardly help feeling distraught. The inevitable, overwhelming sense of our desperation, finally brought to the table by EL, awakens us to the undeniable, unspoken fact that, despite pretending otherwise, we all feel hopeless, fearful and desperate.

 

Even though we will shed many a tear when, at long last, we begin to speak to and listen to ourselves – rather than to others – we can experience the benefits of EL right away, untrained. There is a tremendous power in our EL that immediately makes us aware of who we really are and who, despite all our suffering, we have continued to be.  The wonderful transformational effect of EL lies in the fact that we can talk with others exactly as we have come to talk with ourselves. In EL everyone comes directly to themselves and that is why I call it Language Enlightenment (LE).
