All,

 

Regardless of what everyone is claiming, saying, pretending and writing, we all basically engage in Disembodied Language (DL), every day. First of all, we don’t even know, this is the case. Secondly, we all believe, we can say what we think, but once we express our Embodied Language (EL), we finally  acknowledge, our thinking or our so-called inner dialogue, doesn’t exist and is a delusional product of our usual way of talking. Thirdly, we accept and expect DL as normal, but we reject and ignore our ability to have EL. However, EL – the language of individual wellbeing – is the essence of happiness.  

 

All these millions of people, who come to Western Europe or to the United States, unconsciously, want the freedom, which is enjoyed by the inhabitants of these countries. They didn’t have that freedom in the countries where they came from. However, they are not necessarily supportive or respectful of this new freedom. To the contrary, they mostly wish to continue to live with the same beliefs, they used to have, before they went to these freer societies.

 

Everywhere you go, people talk a lot, but we are still not very good at communicating, getting along with each other and understanding each other as well as ourselves. I am talking about you, my dear reader. You really aren’t all that good, as a communicator of  your own experiences. The fact, that you engage in DL almost permanently and have failed to continue with EL so often, that you gave up on it, illustrates an aspect of your meaningless, dreadful, mechanical life, which you refuse to admit and talk about.

 

Since we find ourselves repeatedly in threatening environments, we have all become habituated to it. Surely, this is an effect, which occurs, due to how we have come to deal with our language, which in turn, is, of course, a consequence of how we interact with each other. Due to our DL – which is our common way of talking – we all, unknowingly, experience threatening environments as normal and experience non-threatening environments as abnormal. This is also known as the learned-helplessness paradigm. It is because we believe, we cannot escape the DL, which is going on, everywhere, all over the world, that we give up on our own individual freedom.

 

We have used all kinds of ridiculous prayers, rules and affirmations, but we have never stopped our DL in its tracks. For that to happen, we must all speak with ourselves and listen to ourselves. Yes, as long as we keep speaking with each other and attempt to listen to each other or try to make others listen to us, our DL will not stop and, thus, we are unable to have any EL at all. We are deluding ourselves, by saying, that it’s okay, that we know, what we experience is all right. With DL, we may say to ourselves, all is well, I am safe – this is just a lesson, an experience, which, for my own good, I must pass through and learn from – but the bottom-line is, our DL remains unaddressed and continues unabated.  

 

It is very interesting to watch, that on the one hand, all Western civilization is giving up on itself – which is an alarming consequence of the fact, that, as of yet, individualism hasn’t affirmed EL, the language, which is necessary, to be an individual – while, on the other hand, millions of people are, seemingly, eager to acquire what Western people have or at least, are trying to enrich themselves in every way they see possible. Surely, they make good use of the democratic values, which allows them to demand rights, like everyone else. Certainly, their birth-rates are going to determine the future of the free world.

 

Although we hear a lot about the great difference between the Western culture and the cultures of these new-comers, the importance of so-called cultural differences has always been exaggerated. All over the world, people, generally speaking, very much want the same thing. However, people in the West and people from elsewhere, pursue incredibly different agendas, since they engage, all the time, in DL and seldom if ever in EL. And, if they have a few, brief moments of EL, it is not a conscious act, but a coincidence. Yet, these lucky moments are bound to occur, because, in spite of the fact, that we deny this with our DL, all human beings still want to feel safe, happy, peaceful and, yes, free of threat or coercion.

 

Due to our common conditioning history, we all, unconsciously, engage, day in day out, in deeply problematic, unrealistic, superficial DL. Even though we have failed at it again and again, even though we have we forgotten or never even acknowledged, the possibility, the necessity, the importance of EL, we still want to have it, as it is the natural, effortless expression of who we are, when we feel good. And, although DL disconnects us from our experience, our experience is still there, waiting for our EL, to fit with it. When our language fits with our experience, we will realize our Language Enlightenment (LE).

 

I know I am going back and forth between a lot of things, but hang in there, until it all comes together. As I was saying, regardless of all our absurd beliefs, which – how could it be otherwise? –  of course, are created and maintained by our DL, we are still trying to achieve a sense comfort, affluence, health, safety and peace. Although, understandably, we all claim to have truth on our side, we don’t succeed, we can’t succeed in creating and prolonging our happiness, because we don’t know, how to skillfully step out of our DL, so we can have EL. Such an ability will only be acquired if we talk, first, with ourselves and then, with each other, about the difference between our DL and EL. We haven’t done that. It remains to be seen – and heard – if we are ever going to do that. No matter what, I am already doing that and that is why I can speak and write like this. After all, my EL is the language of freedom, and its continuation is my LE.

 

Anyone who reads this – I am really happy to notice, all of a sudden, many people are reading my blog – can get a sense, my language is not beholden to any group and is only true to who I am. However, I am a proud US citizen. I went through a legal immigration process, when I immigrated in 1999 from the Netherlands to the United States. To me, America is the country of individualism and my contribution to America, is my EL and my LE. Of course, I am concerned about the fact, that our borders are clearly not protected by my government anymore. By the way, the same thing is happening – with a few exceptions – all over Europe and in the Netherlands, my country of origin. When Western people – like myself – notice that their freedom and culture is trampled, eroded, overtaken, disrespected and obliterated, by those, who are illegally invading them, they should not want to have anything to do with them. Let all of them take care of themselves. I mean this quite literally. People must get things in order where they are. 

 

All you need to know, is the difference between DL and EL, to be able to gain clarity about the immense chaos, which is currently rapidly unfolding. Anyone who has understood this gigantic difference, doesn’t want to have anything to do with anyone, who has DL, as DL is against our individuality. You can only be yourself, if you can express yourself. Only if you recognize and avoid all DL, will you be able to express your LE with your EL. Once have acquired the language of your own individual freedom, you will happily, effectively and bravely avoid everyone with DL, like the plague.  EL is about being proud of your own independence.

 

The American Dream of freedom and prosperity has been exploited and continues to be taken advantage of by many, because DL has remained the common way of dealing with language. If we are truly a country of individuals, we would abandon our DL and have EL and permanently leave behind all destructive behaviors, which were created and maintained by our DL. Surely, we wouldn’t want to do any business, with anyone, who isn’t as sympathetic to us, as we are to them. Right now, Western civilizations continue to make deals with the devil, because they have failed to establish and celebrate EL, as the language of individualism. In the name of commerce and trade, we are throwing our values about individualism overboard and this goes on, for the sake of having oil, weapons and products, which were produced by cheap labor, in non-democratic countries, which are ruled by dictators and regimes.

 

Sadly, Western culture has given up on itself, as it has never dealt with DL, which goes on everywhere. Stated differently, the West has been living in a contradiction, because, supposedly, individual freedom is the ultimate, but, in reality, when it comes to how we actually use our language, we are just like all those other countries, which are against the West. It is hard to believe that this is true, as we assume, we are more advanced, but – to put it squarely – there is no difference whatsoever, as far as speakers dominating the listeners.

 

All around the world, the same foolish, primitive, unnatural DL is going on, in which speakers force, intimidate, manipulate, distract, ignore and oppress the listener. All DL-speakers insist, the listener must listen, and do as he or she is told. They justify their authority with their status in the social hierarchy of their society. All those, who have power over others, tell them what to do and how to behave. This has always been going on and it is still going on, as our DL was never properly addressed. In EL, nobody has power over anyone. Since we talk without any fear or pressure, we always express our positive emotions. There is punishment in DL, if we don’t behave the way we are told to, and this is why so much of our behavior is so problematic. Our ability to avoid punishment, is a natural inclination, but it is also a huge problem, because it creates problem behaviors, which will have to be stopped, if we want to be happy. With EL, by contrast, we never have to stop or decrease any of our behavior, as all our behavior is effective.
