Osho,

 

I have written about my Language Enlightenment (LE) many times, but today, I want to say something about it, which I wasn’t able to say before. I was, for many years, a devoted disciple of Osho, formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. I am no longer a follower of his teachings, but my life has forever changed, because of my participation in the many therapy groups and meditations.

 

If you would ask me, on a scale from one to ten, how enlightened are you? I would say, without any hesitation and laughter: ten. With a tongue-in-cheek sense of gratefulness and respect, I would add, my enlightenment is different from Osho or anyone, I have heard or read. To me, language is the key. I don’t teach and according to me, there is no mind. I am only a master of myself, not of anyone else.

 

I don’t create any following and everything I talk and write about is something, you either are willing to do and verify or you will simply just not do it. You will either manage to hear, recognize and stop your own idiotic, problematic, unconscious Disembodied Language (DL) and become capable of exploring, enjoying and expressing your beautiful Embodied Language (EL) or you will never find out about your LE. I will continue to express my LE with my EL.

 

For many years, I tried to figure out, what I wanted to do with my EL and my LE, but I am no longer busy with that. It feels so good, to say and write this, as it has been a big deal for me. It turns out, that writing this blog, producing videos of my songs and views, on my You Tube channel and conversing with anyone, who is capable of having EL with me, is all I really want. Although I would love for more people to know about EL and LE, I know this isn’t going to come about by any effort from me, but from you.

 

I have always been a guru-basher, because none of the many people, I have met, heard or read about, have acknowledged the importance of DL, EL and LE. I have never met Osho in person, so I couldn’t really say, how he would have responded, but it is clear to me, none of his sannyasins have any interest in language. Also, any other spiritual people – who are into religion, prayer, empathy, transcending the mind, non-violent communication, being present, psychology, meditation, consciousness, Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta or philosophical truth – have shown respect for what I have found. Although this has frustrated me, it really shows how taboo EL actually is.

 

In the past, I have never talked about anyone else but myself, as I only wanted others to get what I am referring to. It seemed like such a distraction, to mention the names of Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj or Alexander Smit, but anyone who knows their work and compares it to my work, will immediately recognize, why I was so reluctant to mention any of these men. When I, after I had emigrated to the United States, studied psychology, I learned about many great scientists, who had made their contributions and mentioning their works, also proved to interfere with my work.

 

I studied the works of many different psychologists, neurologists and philosophers and always tried, if they were still alive, to get in touch with them, to tell them about the difference between DL and EL, but, basically, none of them responded. If I ever got any kind of reaction, it was short and dissatisfying to me, because the only thing, I was always after, was to have EL with people. I love my wife Bonnie, who knows who I am, but only one person, a woman, my dear Dutch friend AnnaMieke, is exploring, on her own, as well as together with me, where our EL can take us and this is so tremendously fulfilling.

 

I don’t consider myself, like Osho, a mystic. All these so-called important people, who somehow manage to get all the attention from others, are only able to do so, at an enormous cost. I know that I will never be well-known, as I go on with EL instead of DL. It has never been addressed – with EL – that anyone who is famous, became that way due to DL. Osho was telling people many stories and he entertained them with many jokes, but I don’t have any stories or jokes, but I guarantee we will laugh a lot, if you talk with me. The fact that I am not famous, is because I don’t struggle to get anyone’s attention. Certainly, my work is very important and due to my own conditioning history with DL, I believed, I needed to let the world know about it, but at this point – I recently became 65 – I just enjoy my LE with EL and whoever wants to talk with me, can come to me and have a direct experience of it.  

 

Osho did what he could do and I do, what I didn’t, at first, believe I could do. I became enlightened in my early twenties, but it was only recently, I fit my EL with my LE, that I was able to put words to my experience. I write and speak the words of my EL for myself and not for anyone else. Anyone, who will discover his or her EL, will do the same and that will be his or her LE. With EL, we become the master of our own language and, yes, we will be able to speak with each other, as enlightened human beings. I am reminded, that back in the days, I always wanted to talk about meditation, but everyone tried to shut me up, because I was disturbing them. However, EL is not meditative communication. Leave the stupid meditation bullshit out of it and let’s have some EL. By the way, this is my Christmas message for you.
