Hierarchy,

 

I suddenly want to write something in Dutch again. It is, of course, about my conditioning with my Disembodied Language (DL), which has its origins in the Dutch Language. As I talked out loud with  myself this morning, it dawned on me that the language of others - contrary to what is often claimed - does not really give any security, to live without fear. Only our own language, Embodied Language (EL), can reassure and protect us.

 

The DL of others has always distracted, confused and disturbed us from ourselves, as we have never spoken to anyone who found their EL. In EL there is no longer any lying about the undeniable fact that we have always spoken exclusively and only to those who, in turn, have merely imitated others. There is something going on that no one has ever been able to speak clearly about. Only he or she, who has EL is reporting on this for the first time.

  

To find out what really happens to us as individuals - even though, as social beings, we are constantly focused on each other and therefore hardly have the opportunity to express ourselves with our own sound, energy and wording, to let ourselves know how we feel about things - it is very important not so much to leave the other, but rather to leave the language of the other - DL - behind us. Of course, only with the help of our own EL are we able to gain the self-knowledge that remains of lasting value.

 

When we have finally been able to listen carefully to what we have to say to ourselves, it turns out that we are in complete agreement with ourselves and therefore have no conflict whatsoever about the incontrovertible fact that we have something to say, which, apparently, no one else seems to do or want to do: by speaking aloud, alone, to ourselves about anything and everything and listening to the sound of our own voice, we are able to effortlessly break out of the hierarchical conditioning with DL.

 

The individual, who can have EL with him or herself knows and acknowledges that he or she knows something which others do not know - and cannot know because of their DL - but this knowing is very different from the other knowing, because it is about self-knowledge. Knowledge gained through the study of other people's books and texts results in specialization, which places us in the hierarchy of society. Those who, so to speak, are more knowledgeable and more responsible than others, are higher on the ladder than those who are ignorant or less irresponsible.

 

With EL, we take great responsibility for ourselves. This means, we don’t care at all about the so-called rank or status that people occupy because of their knowledge, skill, profession, education, ambition, origin, money, violence or power. In other words, no one is higher or lower, better or worse, conscious or unconscious, because EL lets us know that we, as individuals, really cannot be compared to anyone. EL is so transformative because we really only talk to ourselves and, therefore, we don't listen to or see ourselves from within the hierarchy, but from who we are authentically.

 

While EL allows us to remain unaffected by whatever everyone, everywhere in the world, is dragging their feet on, there's a process taking place in which everyone, the servants of those who were in charge, can have their say, so to speak. If you really want to know the ins and outs, then there is nothing to learn from those who, so to speak, have it all figured out. They lie that it is printed and they write best-selling books.

 

With EL, we make all listeners feel that what they have to say is very important. With EL we realize all too well that with DL, a hierarchy is created again, always, everywhere. Rich or poor, criminal or addicted, insane or homeless, everywhere there are people who take control and others are subservient. Nobody has any interest in listening to speakers from below their station. The lower you go in the hierarchy, the less those people have something to say, because everyone feels too good to really listen.

 

In EL we continue to listen to what we have to tell ourselves and the whole of humanity is reviewed. It is obvious that, from top to bottom, everyone is forcing each other to speak as, according to that layer, should be spoken and to listen, as, according to that rank, should be obeyed. Everyone knows their place and for those who do not recognize this, there is no justice, for they are heartlessly and mercilessly punished everywhere, without any discussion. It's not fun, but it's true.

 

It is impossible to speak with DL about hierarchy. Those who do this – involuntarily, unconsciously, also with their DL – are in enormous danger, both literally and figuratively. So we all just keep acting as if nothing is happening at all. The well-known proverb, see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil, says it very well, with those three monkeys, who of course represent people. Those who have climbed the highest on the social ladder are expected to lie most convincingly, but those who live at the bottom of society, shamelessly expose everything that is wrong with man. We can imagine what we are about to learn – about ourselves – even if we don’t speak with them directly. I am not saying they are the solution to the world's problems, but there is simply no getting around the fact, the unheard man everywhere is desperate, criminal, chaotic, anti-social, mad, addicted, hopeless, unreasonable, helpless and unconscious. I'm not talking about listening to others, but about listening to ourselves. It is a form of protection and self-nurturing.
