Understandable,

 

Although it is perfectly understandable and obvious, there is absolutely no language anywhere inside of us, we have been conditioned to believe, we have a mind and that we have thoughts. In spite of the fact, that we know very well, there are no words in our brain, we talk – day in day out – as if it is possible to have an inner talk with ourselves. Surely, we only believe to have thoughts, because of how we deal with our language. How we deal with our language, is determined by how we talk, how we listen, how we write and how we read. More specifically, how we talk can be heard and how we write can be read and, therefore, has nothing to do with some covert conversation, supposedly, happening inside of us.

 

Since it is our Disembodied Language (DL), which makes us continue our belief in the falsehood, we have a mind and we have thoughts – which is as ludicrous as saying that we can fly – our Embodied Language (EL) is needed to debunk this fiction. Only with our EL, it is understandable, that our belief in the deeply problematic fantasy, that we can have thoughts or have an internal dialogue, was created and maintained by our DL, that is, by how we were conditioned to deal with language. Without EL, we can’t overcome or counter-act our DL-conditioning.  

 

According to people who meditate, watching your mind or your thoughts, presumably, calms, clears or even dissolves the mind. This is said and claimed to be an inner process. It is understandable, inevitable and explainable, our so-called mindfulness is against us becoming more involved with our language, as that would be considered judgmental. However, when we discern the difference between DL and EL, we realize, our DL was always the reason, we didn’t and couldn’t accept and express, in our own words, in our own way, what we actually experience.  

 

Rejection or misrepresentation of our experience and perception is always grounded in how we deal with our language. In what is known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), this fact is somewhat acknowledged, but it never could result in the exploration of or in any awareness about the great difference between DL and EL. Moreover, so-called cognitive restructuring is the biggest stand in the way for EL, as it prevents us from communicating our feelings. In effect, we tend to believe, we have troublesome, faulty, distorted thoughts, because we cannot express our emotions properly with our DL.

 

In EL, we can finally, easily, naturally, satisfyingly and most importantly, whole-heartedly, say what we feel and – low and behold – the veil of our imaginary, but overrated mind is suddenly lifted. However, we fall back into our habit of having DL, each time we stop engaging in EL. In DL, we don’t just assume we think, but we believe, we must think and in order to think, we should stop being preoccupied with how we feel. Attending to our feelings simply doesn’t make any sense, as long as we haven’t changed from DL to EL. As a matter of fact, as soon as we become capable of having EL, we let ourselves – rather than each other – know what we feel and this allows us to be very rational, practical and effective, as we only do what brings us good consequences and we will avoid doing anything that harms us.  

 

In DL, our feelings are always diverted into some version of – or grandiose fantasy about – letting others know about how we feel. Therefore, in DL, we never let ourselves know how we feel. To do that requires EL, in which it becomes understandable to us, it is more important to talk with ourselves than to talk with others. We already have this ability, but we haven’t had the EL, to express this to ourselves.

 

Once we experience the tangible, instantaneous, positive consequences of our EL, we realize that our DL has always befooled us into believing that we have thoughts, because we didn’t verbalize our experiences correctly. The correct expression of what we experience is a tremendous revelation, as it brings to light our Language Enlightenment (LE). Funny how, we have always known this, but we didn’t yet have the right way of dealing with our language, to be able to affirm our own experience.

 

Everything that was wrong is set straight by our EL, which always expresses our LE. Each time we catch ourselves – seemingly thinking about something – we say it and hear it and, if we continue with our EL long enough, we will write about it and read it, like I do in this writing. So, instead of quietly witnessing our so-called mind, we speak, so that we can hear our fantasized inner thoughts. We become sure that we don’t have any thoughts, but we definitely have something to say. Moreover, as this writing on this blog repeatedly illustrates, you don’t need to listen to me, but to yourself, as only that initiates you into your EL. Of course, you can’t believe that your EL works and is really true, as your conditioning history keeps telling you: it is too good to be true. Your LE, expressed by your EL, dissolves that suspicion. Your EL makes it understandable, why you feel so good.
