Hitler,

 

Even before Hitler came on the scene, people have tried – in vain – to describe the common reality, which is the expected result of our unconscious participation in Disembodied Language (DL). None of the so-called Holocaust experts have spoken about the difference between DL and Embodied Language (EL). We are at a complete loss today, to speak of the evil, which is tearing us apart, but which has continued, because of how we use our language. We make it seem, as if it is all about the hate-speech of others, but it is our very own DL, which has unknowingly continued and  was never properly addressed. The personification of evil is a feature of our usual way of talking.

 

The seemingly endless battle between civilization and barbarity, between good and evil, at its roots, is the struggle between the speaker and the listener. In DL, the speaker forces, manipulates, dominates, exploits, overwhelms, distracts and punishes the listener. Moreover, the speaker separates him or herself from the listener and there is a struggle for attention going on, between the speaker and the listener. Hitler’s dramatic, forceful, incendiary and accusatory speech, is in essence, no different from how everyone talks, every day, around the world. Those who win the battle for attention, get to do all the talking, while the rest are merely listeners. This is why only a few determine everything for others. Supposedly, they are the voice for others and talk on their behalf. This ludicrous, corrupt arrangement is the best we are capable of with our stupid DL.   

 

Calling someone a Nazi or Hitler, is name-calling and  virtue-signaling, which could never solve anything, as it didn’t address the difference between our DL and EL. Look at where we are today? It is apparent, that millions of people have very different opinions about what is moral or immoral. The antisemitism we see today, shows even our highest institutions of education are utterly powerless and ignorant about what is actually going on. What we are witnessing is the inevitable escalation of our DL, our usual way of talking. It is often said, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. However, the past, is always what someone else has told us, but our own past, is what we tell ourselves, that is, if we get to speak with ourselves and listen to ourselves.  

 

When we talk out loud, alone with ourselves, about our own experiences and listen to the sound of our own voice, we begin to attend to how we deal with our language. Before we took the time to finally do this, language was only something, which happened to us, like the weather. However, when we listen to ourselves while we speak, we instantly, effortlessly and joyfully discover the great difference between our own DL and our own EL. As we talk more often, we find, that our EL continues and our DL subsides, since we prefer the former, but we were burdened by the latter. Thus, by talking out loud by ourselves – instead of with others – and by addressing the big difference between our own DL and our own EL, we come to terms, with our own history with language.

 

The ugly, brutal, senseless history mankind keeps repeating, is always repeated with our language. It isn’t repeated by our EL, but by our DL. With DL, we are – whether we know it or not, admit it or not or are aware of it or not – digging our own graves. In fact, we are already brain-dead, since we engage automatically in DL. Once we manage to stop our DL, because we speak with and listen to ourselves, we realize, in retrospect, all problems were caused and maintained by our DL. As soon as our DL stops, we are flooded with bliss, as we have opened the gates of heaven. This is not some spiritual fantasy.

 

People who commit suicide, are like Hitler, because they realize, they aren’t winning – they can’t win – their battle. Giving up on the battle is out of the question, for anyone who doesn’t talk with him or herself, who doesn’t have a conscience. However, anyone who is in a love-relationship, will have to acknowledge, that giving up on the struggle is essential. Moreover, we are struggling with each other, because we pretend to be something, which we are not. We try to show to others, how powerful and certain we are, but by ourselves, we feel lonely and insignificant. Remarkably, Hitler was married with Eva Braun only for 40 hours, which they lived, as husband and wife, in their bunker. When we have our first taste of our EL, we cry, with relief, because, at long last, we can let go of our pretention. Hitler greatly admired Mussolini, who described him as a pleasant and old sentimentalist at heart. Not surprisingly, the failed painter cried in Mussolini’s presence, as he was a fan of Italian art and he even had a vague plan, to retire to Italy, after the war.

 

Hitler got it right – about DL – and about getting the attention from others. Reportedly, he said: if you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things. This is what we have kept doing and this is why our DL has continued unabated. We have never explored what it would actually be like, to have ongoing EL, as we have only been able to experience a few, accidental, brief moments of it. If we recognize and prolong our EL, a whole new way of life would be possible. I live that life and I can tell you all about my Language Enlightenment (LE). If you talk with me, you are going to find out about EL and LE as well.
