Blasphemy,

 

Please, read very carefully, what I am about to tell you. Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God. My freedom of speech, to say what I want to say, and to believe what I say – rather than to believe and say what others say – also is blasphemy, in many non-Christian countries. You will get yourself in trouble, anywhere, if you say, you don’t believe in their local belief. A little less known, is that blasphemy is the act of claiming the attributes of some deity. Acting as if you are God, is considered, cross-culturally, as a sin. Basically, it is taboo in every culture, to be your own authority.   

 

I immigrated, legally, in 1999, from the Netherlands, to the United States. I am a proud US citizen, who is definitely going to vote for Donald J. Trump. This writing is especially meant for my fellow Americans, many of whom, in my opinion, have become utterly complacent and ignorant, about their individual freedoms, which are, as of yet, still enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. A similar tendency – to give up on the individualistic culture – is happening in all Western societies, who have enjoyed peace and prosperity, since the end of the Second World War.

 

As an American, as a citizen of the free world, but, foremostly, as the individual, who has discovered psychological gold – my Language Enlightenment (LE) – with his Embodied Language (EL), I am acutely aware, our so-called inalienable rights, didn’t come from some mystical higher power, but from myself and anyone, who bravely fought or died, to defend our freedom. To me, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, have absolutely nothing to do with any religion! Since practically all the people on the left, these days are, sheepishly, blatantly, insidiously, disgustingly, disrespectfully against the freedom of speech, I am in favor of right-wing politics, as it is more aligned with EL, than woke lefties, who are more likely to punish it as blasphemy, than the right.  

 

Conservative Christians consider it blasphemy, when left wing zealots attempt to rewrite the foundational principals of our country. However, their insistence and emphasis on God, isn’t helping them in winning the election. Only someone like me – with EL – can understand, why this is the case. Interestingly, all the socialists and the communists – who virulently hate America, want to destroy it, and, presumably, then rebuild it, from the bottom up – unknowingly, view big government, as the replacement of God.  

 

Modern, secular, technologically- savvy Americans, for the most part – like Europeans, in spite of their own superstitions and hang-ups – are never going to go back to the unscientific nonsense, that has been preached in the name every religion. The genie of individualism is out of the bottle, the freight-train of individualism has already left the station, the horse of freedom has left the barn. And, unbeknownst to everyone, everywhere, our mechanical, unnatural, forceful, senseless Disembodied Language (DL) is on its deathbed, as individualism has given rise to EL.

 

Both the left and right political parties are frantically virtue-signaling, by constantly accusing each other of blasphemy. Each party claims to have the moral high ground and, presumably, is on the right side of history. However, only when we transcend our tragic history of conditioning with dull DL, are we going to be on the right side of history. EL is the real future of mankind, not DL. Our problematic, stubborn DL is the language of punishment, but – whether we will be courageous enough, to admit it – individualism requires our EL, which is the language of positive reinforcement. Both parties consider anyone as sacrilegious, who disagrees with their contentious, but, supposedly, holy narrative. The argument that our individual rights come from God is flawed and is outdated, as we all know, that millions of lives have been sacrificed, so that others could enjoy freedom.

 

The famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, God is dead, but the fallacy of our superstition has continued unabated, due to our unconscious DL, which was never properly addressed. No matter how individual or liberated we believe ourselves to be, we still adhere to DL, the brutal, anti-intellectual way of way of talking, that has been going on, ever since human beings became verbal. Our shift from DL to EL, is the quintessential issue of our time, as it is going to determine, whether free, individualized societies, will be able to continue to exist, in the face of the relentless onslaught of group-behaviors, which are instilled and maintained by our dumb DL.

 

As long as individuals of free nations engage in DL, they seem to have no real backbone, as they, again and again, adhere to the very group-behavior, which contradicts and undermines individualism. There is hardly any EL, anywhere, in the so-called democratic societies, because our EL is religiously and cowardly considered, as heresy, by anyone with DL. Although we are – due to our, primarily, Christian founding fathers and due to our Constitution – on paper, in writing, only in name, free individuals, each of us, has yet to become a whole, enlightened individual, who always expresses LE, as his or her only real freedom, and who pursues his or her happiness with his or her ongoing EL.

 

I keep hearing – both left and right – stupid rhetoric about some sort of crusade against evil, but nobody addresses our common, unconscious, coercive, repetitive, dissociative, unintelligent way of talking, which is antithetical to our freedom as individuals. We are constantly swayed by others, as we don’t have the fortitude, which comes from distinguishing between our own DL and our own EL. To make wise decisions and to take actions, independently, requires ongoing EL.

 

The sad fact, that so many people on the right, have had their social media accounts cancelled and are even banned from speaking about their ideas – as people on the left have decided, it is blasphemy, shows that idiotic religious zealotry is alive and well on the presumably secular left. Surely, it is because of our DL, that America has become a country in which people are persecuted and punished for their political views.

 

There is, however, a bright side to the freedom-hating cancel-culture, as it is quite apparent, that those who have the power,  to prevent large audiences from hearing, what others want to say and want them to know, and, those, who control the media, who can prevent the public from reading what others have written, they are clearly not interested at all in what anyone is, presumably, thinking. Indeed, all they really care about, is what is being said, heard, written or read. This irrefutable fact shows that any emphasis on our so-called belief, on thoughts, on the language, which is said to occur inside of us, is superfluous.

 

In DL, we inadvertently believe in private speech or inner language, also known as our mind, but in EL, we are absolutely sure, that all language is and has always been overt. And, yes, the truth is, we have, until now, with our DL, always been trying, to shut each other up, outcompete each other with what we say, win the argument or struggle for attention – which is the main characteristic of DL - and our stressful world of chaos, divisiveness and conflict is the result. Any difference of opinion is seen by millions of people as blasphemy, a crime for which people are imprisoned, tortured and murdered, all over the place, because we refuse to acknowledge the difference between our DL and EL, which has allowed our coercive, brutal, ugly DL to continue.

 

With our EL, we are the creator of our own lives, and we are in charge of our own destiny, as our language makes us into empowered individuals, who can accurately describe their own experience. Our sense of resilience and oneness is the essence of our individuality. Our ongoing EL reveals our LE and results in a wordless silence – as there are no words or thoughts inside of our heads – from where more of our effortless, delightful EL emerges. 

There has always been a conflict between religionists and those who pursue scientific knowledge. Many times, what was known was lost. The earth is round, not flat, and it is equally true, that there is no language, no mind, no sentences, no thoughts inside of us, as this is just the way we talk, because of DL, in which we cannot really express ourselves, in the way we want to and are able to. As the person, who has discovered his EL and who has realized his LE, I know very well, that LE is considered as a blasphemy by everyone who still engages in DL, but I feel fortunate, to have become an American, for who freedom means the celebration of my EL and LE. I challenge and invite everyone to have EL with me. As long as we keep accusing each other of blasphemy, we don’t live in twenty-first century and our hard-fought individual freedoms will be lost, as we have wasted our chance, to take our individualism truly to the next level.
