That,
Now that I
have recognized that my Language Enlightenment (LE) could only be expressed by
my ongoing Embodied Language (EL), my history with Disembodied Language (DL)
recedes further and further into the background. Yesterday, I briefly spoke
with someone, who noticed my accent and asked where I was from. I told him, I
immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands in 1999. He asked, if I still had family in Holland and if
had been back and I said, I never felt the urge, as my life is happening here.
He then spoke of his own family with whom he had disconnected, after his mother
had died and he found out, he had two half-sisters from other men, than his
long-ago deceased father. He had tried to stay in touch, but, apparently, there
was no real contact. He let me know, it is okay to go our own way and not be worried
about the family we grew up in. It was interesting, as he seemed to tell me
this, to be able to say it to himself. I could hear, he was getting a little
emotional, but he had said it correctly. We shared a genuine moment.
Whenever we disclose
our authentic experience, we dissolve. The experience, whatever it may be, is
what it is. There’s no one trying to be better than the other, trying to compete,
by, presumably, being the owner or the cause of a more important, better
experience. Thus, during EL, nobody is bragging, pretending, manipulating,
hiding or rejecting. Of course, we have all experienced such instances of EL,
but we never continued with it, as our ability to experience these precious moments,
has always depended on the absence of the experiencer.
When we honestly
communicate our experience, the experiencer dissolves in experiencing the expression
of his or her experience. However, this is incorrect, as there really wasn’t any
experiencer, in the first place. There never was an experiencer, as there was
always only our experience, but our DL wouldn’t let us see it that way. Only
with ongoing EL do we get clear on that. The continuation of our EL, which – when
we begin to discover the difference between DL and EL – seems like an impossible
task, is enhanced by our persistent attention for the fact, that there truly is
no one inside of us, separate from our experience, who is having the
experience. If one can stay with that, one experiences one’s LE, that is, one’s
EL continues without any sense of identity.
Your EL
happens by itself, as there is nobody, who is doing it. Whatever you do happens
by itself, without someone, who does it. Thus, you speak, but there’s no
speaker, you write, but there’s no writer, you walk, but there’s no walker or
you sleep, but there’s no sleeper. This reality is only expressed by EL. You
see, but there’s no seer, you understand, but there’s no one who understands,
as there is no memory in the seeing or the understanding. Stated differently,
you see everything afresh and this newness cannot be expressed by your DL, as
in DL, you speak, see or understand from your history of conditioning. In EL,
by contrast, you are free, you have temporarily stopped your history of conditioning,
as you have stopped your DL. EL and DL are mutually exclusive, they never happen
together. Initially, inevitably and annoyingly, you will still go back and
forth between DL and EL, but eventually, your EL will continue.
After you
have acknowledged, your conditioning history pulls you back into DL, you’ll notice,
your increased awareness makes you want to stop your DL and engage in EL.
Moreover, you realize, you are free from yourself in EL, for as long as you are
able to stop your DL. And, as stated, you are, of course, not stopping your DL,
nor were you having EL, as these fluctuations in your behavior happen because
they could happen. With DL, there will always be a forceful, effortful
unnaturalness in your behavior, which repeats and stays the same, as you don’t
and can’t allow change to occur, but in EL, your behavior is fluid, as you
know, there is no one, who behaves.
Only your EL
can reveal the nature of your DL. There is, however, nobody to whom anything is
revealed, as this is simply our common, incorrect, problematic way of talking about
stuff. Although during EL, you will feel liberated from the experiencer, who falsely
claimed your experience, this absence is continually overtaken by your DL, in
which you imagine, you return, as the
experiencer of your experience and, therefore, you feel worried, stressed,
agitated or confused again. Going back and forth, you’ll notice you are
unconscious in DL, but conscious in EL.
The words
you use are still the same, but you use your words differently in EL. In EL, you
still say: I see, I taste or I remember, but there is no one who sees, there is
no one who tastes, there is no entity, who remembers, as there is only seeing,
tasting and remembering the truth, which was hidden in your language for so
long. When we have EL together, we all agree, our profound understanding is possible,
as there is no you, who speaks, nor a me,
who listens. As our experience is finally correctly expressed by our EL – even
when it is occasionally still necessarily the experience of our history with DL
– we feel that our body changes or, as we usually say, we let go of our identification
with our experience, which is, of course, our identification with our body. We
attain our LE, by verbally staying with the scientific fact that there is no
behavior-controlling agent inside.
