Realization,

 

From our current dealings with language, it is almost inconceivable, that our true happiness lies in speaking while listening - in talking to ourselves and listening to our own voice, which leads to writing with and to ourselves - because in this way we finally begin to have our own language. In other words, talking to others has never made us happy as it kept us from discovering our own language. Only if we can be alone with ourselves are we able to appreciate our own Embodied Language (EL).

 

Our EL can only be shared with him or her, who, like us, can be alone and who is allowed to be, who wants to be alone, with himself or herself, in his or her own language. This realization is inevitable and necessary, because every human being creates and lives, as an individual – whether we recognize it with our language or not – in his or her own world. Of course, for anyone who can have EL, there is the understanding, that it really is true, that everyone lives in the self-created reality with their language. So, there is no conflict in EL, because we know and we fully recognize, that everyone has his or her own language. Our appreciation for someone's language can only be genuine, when we have come to have our own language. As long as this is not the case, the language of others is always in conflict with our own language, because our own language has never actually come to fruition.

 

Due to our Disembodied Language (DL), we live under the assumption, that what others have said or written is more important than what we could have said or written ourselves. This creates a distortion of language, in which one person, supposedly, is more intelligent than the other. Furthermore, our concept of rationality is, inadvertently, based on what is demanded from us and forced on us. For example, it is said, one has the right to have one's own opinion, but one does not have the right, to determine one’s own facts (according to others, who, presumably, know better and always seem to be in charge). We firmly believe that scientific facts represent an objective and, therefore, disembodied, external reality, outside ourselves and our opinions are always subjective, internal, preventing us from sticking to those important facts. To be factual, scientific or rational, we throw our own experience overboard, because – so the DL reasoning goes – our subjectivity prevents us from observing objectively. Thus, our science supports our DL.

 

Be it math, physics or chemistry, it doesn't matter, learning something is always difficult, because what we are naturally inclined to do should be ignored. In order to learn, it is said with DL, it is of the utmost importance, to unlearn what stands in the way of our so-called learning. There is no getting around the fact, that having our own language stands in the way of the learning process, in which we are driven into the straitjacket of the language of others.

 

Since we do not yet recognize the big difference between DL and EL, there is no clarity whatsoever about what has always prevented or impaired the learning process for having desirable – instead of undesirable – behavior. All of our problems are really behavioral problems and come down to our inability to control undesirable, reactive, impulsive, unconscious behavior, so that we can finally get to conscious, free, intelligent and civilized behavior.

 

It is always said – with our common DL – someone is unintelligent, if he or she resists, doesn’t want to be forced, doesn’t accept, what is pushed down his or her throat and doesn’t agree, learning always has to be uncomfortable. We are being told that feeling uncomfortable and finding something difficult, are challenges we must accept, otherwise we cannot  progress and will not grow or develop in this brutal so-called intellectual process. Intelligence, we are strictly told, requires effort, but not our relaxation. In EL, however, we are completely relaxed and so, we don't make any effort, while our own language flows, naturally, like a clear, splashing stream.

 

We always know exactly, with our own language, with EL, what is going on with us and we see no need to be forced by anyone or by anything, to gain knowledge or to learn anything that alienates us from ourselves. From EL's point of view, most of the knowledge – which we, unconsciously, have carried around with us for years, with great pain and effort, and about which we, in the vain hope of convincing ourselves of its so-called value, have continued to brag – is a headache-inducing, weighty, exhausting burden. And, this is not Eastern wisdom, but a fact.

 

As soon as we take our first steps

 in EL – in talking to and listening

to ourselves – it becomes clear, 

that we don't know what we 

believe we know, from our 

grandiose, DL-imagined ability

 to supposedly think. The 

so-called mind is a huge 

problem for everyone, because

apparently everyone is trapped 

by what we call our mind, which 

perpetuates the belief that our

 language is something external 

as well as internal. With EL, 

however, we know – at once – and 

without any effort, that our language

 is, always, exclusively, only spoken, 

heard, written or read. The duality 

of what is presumably outer or 

inner dissolves in EL. Certainly, 

there is absolutely no language 

within us – as there are no words

 anywhere in our brain – and 

therefore, there is no such a thing, 

as the mind, our covert, private 

speech or so-called silent thinking. 

It is our unnatural, forced way of 

speaking – DL – that perpetuates

 this auditory illusion. We believe

 that something is there, which 

isn’t really there. Surely, DL sets 

the stage for our mental health problems. 

 

We may have heard about visual illusions. For example, a painting on the ground can create the illusion of an abyss, one fears falling into. Because of our DL, we have, since time immemorial, remained bewildered, overwhelmed and mesmerized by the sound of speakers, who – even though they did not know anything about the difference between DL and EL – pretended to have EL. Our intelligence, in EL, comes to mean and function very differently from DL, because we have come to realize that our language, consisting only of words, has to be heard or seen and any reference to language as an inner process, known as thinking, is confusing nonsense. If someone says something and the other does not understand it, it is always, yes, always, because of the sound of the speaker's voice was not adapted to the listener. And, if the speaker would start to listen to himself or herself - which never happens in DL - he or she would come to the astonishing realization, that he or she, as a speaker, wasn’t even listening to himself or herself and therefore is experiencing body-dysphoria.

 

Realization of the undeniable fact, that we, in our  normal, everyday way of speaking, do not listen to ourselves, means our language prevents us from realizing the far-reaching negative consequences of the lie, we have called our thinking. Simply put, it is our belief in our thinking, which has caused us to stop talking to each other. Above all, of course, we don't talk to each other, because we don't talk to ourselves. However, in EL, we talk to ourselves in the exact same way as we talk to each other, but in DL, we experience the eternal conflict between how we talk to others or to ourselves. Even though we never talk to ourselves, out loud, as we would in EL, even though we don't yet know the huge difference between DL and EL, the difference is already there. The conflict between how we talk to ourselves or others, like our thinking, is an illusion. In DL, talking to ourselves is merely the fantasy of having an inner conversation with ourselves, which is always at odds with and distracting from what is actually being said by us or by others.
