Immediately,

 

I find it very interesting, that people, who engage in Disembodied Language (DL), always demand, to get what they want – from others – immediately, but they never experience, the great satisfaction, the truth, or the wonderful results, which always occur immediately, of their own Embodied Language (EL). It is matter of insensitivity – to themselves – , but also of unawareness – about themselves – , which determines, they can’t say or have what they want.

 

When you sense the difference between your DL and your EL, you will feel immediately a great relief. This tangible liberation, which is felt, immediately, is because, with DL, you have used your language incorrectly. The direct positive effects of EL, let you know, with DL, you did things, unconsciously, wrong all the time. Immediately comes from Latin immediatus, which means without anything in between. Also, it means, with nothing interposed, at the present time, at this moment. An in (im), meaning, not or opposite of and mediatus, meaning, in the middle.

 

When we consider the real meaning of immediately, we inevitably talk about instant gratification. In our modern way of life, we tend to remain completely oblivious, about the irrefutable fact, that we always want things, as consumers – cheaper from others – in increasingly short order. The more we obtain our food, entertainment or shopping online, the less sensitive we have become about what we can give to ourselves, with our own language. In effect, we have been literally sold, hook, line and sinker, to our DL and we are enslaved by getting things immediately.

 

It is more valuable and costly, and it is making us happier, to get what we want, from ourselves. Of course, our attention will have to be brought back to ourselves with our language. We can accomplish this and truly become, free, responsible individuals, who don’t childishly and immaturely demand everything – from others – if we transition from DL to EL. Right now, a lot of young women, supposedly, transition into becoming men and a lot of young men, presumably, transition into becoming women and we are told, that we should all cheer them on and constantly walk on eggshells with our new language, because the real issue of DL versus EL remains unaddressed.

 

The digital age drives the need for immediacy. The quick-fix solutions and instant-gratification-fueled impulsive behaviors, to which we are conditioned and, ultimately, addicted, make us into zombies. As dopamine, the reward neurotransmitter, is already flooding our brain, before we will have our fix, our brains are rewired to increasingly pay less attention, to the more meaningful, long-term goals. All of this is happening with the language that facilitates this. Our EL acknowledges our real need for safety and avoidance of aversive stimuli. Moreover, it reveals to us, immediately, that effective use of our language always depends on whether we are in charge of it.
