Gravity,

 

We don’t realize the gravity of the situation, we are in, as human beings, with our usual way of dealing our language. There is a lot of talk about climate change, but no one wants to talks about the terrible circumstances we keep creating with our language. Our Disembodied Language (DL), is causing us, world-wide, so many problems, that it becomes more and more difficult to deny, that the enormous mess we find ourselves in, was, of course, created by how we talk. Although the tendency still is – as it has always been – to overrule the coercive DL with even more forceful DL, the fact is that our blunt DL is outdated and, in essence, on its deathbed.

 

Gravity keeps everything from floating around. If it wasn’t for gravity, life on earth wouldn’t be possible. When we speak of the gravity of someone’s voice,  we mean that their sound attracts or even demands our attention. The Latin word gravitas translates as weight. However, if someone has gravitas, his or her demeanor is characterized by a sense of substance,  importance, seriousness or dignity. Thus, someone’s gravitas makes us sit on the edge of our seat, to hear and pay close attention, to every single word that comes out of the mouth of some great speaker.

 

I use this word, gravity, in this writing, to make my case. I convey an extremely serious matter. Either we will discover and use our Embodied Language (EL) or our DL will be our demise. We have already moved very far on the path of self-destruction. Only the self-instruction of our EL can turn things around. Basically, our usual, mechanical, violent way of dealing with language, DL, creates a fictional reality. The center of gravity in DL, are the words that we say, but in EL, what we say only matters, because of how we say it. This doesn’t mean, we are trying to sound a certain way, because an embodied sound, is a natural, effortless, easy sound. The significance of our voice, in EL, makes it so, that we can say what we want to say, in the way that we want to say it. Moreover, our resonant sound creates balance, it straightens us out, makes us upright and aware.  

 

We say, that someone defies gravity, when he or she appears to be unaffected by the force of gravity. For instance, high wire trapeze artists seem to defy gravity. Also, magicians appear to defy gravity, by floating someone in midair unsupported. Of course, these acrobats only appear to defy gravity and the magician pulls off a great trick. This make-belief is also happening during DL, in which we all believe to have a mind and thoughts. When I engage in EL and say something, it is not because I think it. This belief, that we say what we think, derives from our DL, in which we cannot say what we want to say. Thus, we refer to something we couldn’t say, as something we think, but once we say what we want to say, in EL, we know for sure, that our thoughts don’t exist.

 

During EL, our so-called mind and our imaginary thoughts simply vanish, because our belief in having them disappears, the moment we say what we want to say and are capable of saying. We can accurately speak about all our feelings and experiences, but only if we engage in EL, not if we, as usual, engage in DL. We have never verified this truth, that we can speak about anything we like, in a satisfying manner, if we change the way we deal with language. In our dissociative DL, we neglect our language, because, presumably, the words of others are always more important than our own words, but in EL, what we say is more important than what any one else says.

 

In my view, which is afforded by EL, it is of utmost gravity, we stop making the person, who produces the language, more important, than the language itself. There is a big difference between these two, because with the former, our belief in who we are, seems to be more important, than what we actually are saying. The me, who speaks, sucks all the energy out of the room. People called this ego, but it is DL, because we merely imagine there is a self, inside of us, who does the talking, while, in reality, there is no such an inner entity. In other words, who we believe to be, is a merely verbal construct, which dominates everything else we are capable of saying and doing.

 

The word chair isn’t more important than the word table and the word me isn’t more important than the word you. All words are equally important and some words are not more important than others, as that would be a limitation of our freedom of speech. We can only speak freely, if there is no belief in an inner self, who does and edits the speaking. Surely,  there are no thoughts, as there is not and cannot be any language inside of us. Inside our body are only organs, blood, nerves, muscles, neurotransmitters and bones, so there is categorically no language to be found anywhere inside of us. Therefore, there is no mind, there cannot be a mind, but there is only language when we speak, listen, write or read.

 

People who take drugs, may believe they can fly, but gravity makes them crash to the ground. Something similar is happening with our pretentious DL, which always brings us negative consequences. We try to blame others for these consequences, while we ourselves have created these outcomes with our intoxicating DL. It is astonishing, that nobody has been able to reason from this obviously important scientific perspective – that there is no mind and that we don’t have any thoughts – yet, due to our conditioning history, this is the human condition.  

 

For a long time, people believed the earth was flat, but it wasn’t. Likewise, we have believed in a mind, but there never was a mind. What we call our mind or our thoughts is a product of our DL, in which we cannot say what we want to say, as we remain too busy with others, to be able to do that. In EL, we finally listen to and hear ourselves, while we speak. This process of listening to ourselves while we speak – in which we simultaneously speak and listen – makes it clear to us, that every time we say, I think this or that, we actually say this or that and there is no need to refer to any speaker or any listener, as the speaker and the listener are one, that is, the speaker and the listener, are simply two words, which aren’t more important than any of the other of the words we use. We are perfectly fine talking with and listening to ourselves, without referring to ourselves as the speaker or the listener. As a matter of fact, there occurs a great sense of liberation in EL, as we recognize, there is no inner speaker or self, who does the speaking and there is no inner listener or soul, who does deep or attentive listening. All of this nonsense is fabricated by our usual, fearful DL, in which we don’t listen to ourselves while we speak and stay preoccupied with whether others are listening to us or whether we are listening to others.

 

I know, it is spelled out in a rather tedious way, but I’m not trying to win a price with this essay. Indeed, in EL, there is no competition, as we are not fighting to get the listener’s attention, as we ourselves are that listener. As anyone who reads this, should be able to understand, everything I have explained is logically coherent and should already be common knowledge, in the same way, that we already know that the earth is round and meteoroids, which get to close to the earth, can be pulled toward the earth by its gravity. We haven’t been able to be truthful with our language, since our common way of using  language, DL, continues to insist, we have a mind, a self, a soul and a whole slew of falsehoods, which, in turn create the reality we live in. In effect, we live in the illusion, which is created by our own language.

 

When you switch from DL to EL, you will know that you have switched from DL to EL, because gravity has taken over and your get very self-conscious. It is inevitable, as your self-imposed verbal fabrication, will disappear instantly and effortlessly. With EL, we create a different reality, in which we are free from our language. EL makes us totally silent and capable of speaking with, what can best be described as, a sense of eternity. EL always expresses our Language Enlightenment (LE). What we, in DL, used to call our intelligence is, in EL, nothing else than the relaxing, joyful and energizing expression of our language. In EL we always use our intelligence, in that, we always do as we say. You could also say, that because of EL, we say things, by doing things. All our behaviors are coordinated by EL and we experience only positive consequences, as our successful behavior continues and doesn’t need to be stopped or changed. Water flows downwards, because of gravity and everything begins to settle, due to the flow of our EL, which always goes to whatever asks our attention, while our energy, keeps soaring higher and higher.
