Reality,

 

There is physics, chemistry, biology, and, there is Embodied Language (EL), the language which creates, and, therefore, brings us into and keeps us grounded in, our own reality. In a similar way, that many people are still ignorant about or in denial of science, we refuse to acknowledge the difference between our Disembodied Language (DL) and EL. Consequently, we experience and live in the chaotic reality, we create with our DL. Surely, our EL is a scientific, but our DL is an unscientific behavior. 

 

EL is about realism, not mysticism. It is also not a philosophy, a path, a tool or system. EL is the way in which we talk with ourselves and others and use our language to our own advantage. In DL, our language is working against us. Since we are all conditioned to have DL and not EL, we are all experiencing the negative effects of how we deal with our language. Of course, we try to get away from these outcomes, but we cannot escape the reality, we maintain with our own automatic, insensitive, unintelligent language. With our DL, we can’t create a satisfying reality.

 

No matter how highly educated we become, without having mastered our EL, we remain entrenched all sorts of superstitious nonsense, since we are not in touch with our experience. As I have stated in my previous writings, being in touch with our own experiences, requires a language, which describes these experiences accurately, while we are having them. We are not in touch with our body, when we engage in DL, but when we have EL, we feel with our body that we engage in language. Embodiment of our language brings us in touch with our reality.

 

For better or worse, we live in the reality, which we individually create with our language. In DL, however, we believe, that reality exists separate from us, but in EL, we acknowledge, everything exists, because we exist, that is, we perceive it. Furthermore, we behave our own reality. This has nothing to do with our so-called thoughts or mind. When, due to environmental stimuli, neuronal changes in the body of a healthy baby occur, that baby at some point begins to speak. This learning process has absolutely nothing to do with internal language. There is never any language inside the body of a baby or an adult, as language is always overt. By overt, I mean observable, we can hear it or read it. This is the reality, which is only apparent to us during EL, because with DL, we fantasize, we have internal conversations with ourselves. This fallacy is only going to be dissolved, if our body is exposed to and effected by different environmental stimuli, than those, which brought about our DL. If we have EL instead of DL, we have a different physiological experience. Similarly, in a cold or in a warm room, our body feels very different.  

 

We create a different environment with our DL or with our EL. When we manage to stop our DL and have EL, we do ourselves a big favor, as our ongoing EL reveals our Language Enlightenment (LE). Basically, LE is our ability to stay in the reality, we have created with our EL. We always speak of the harsh or painful reality, because we engage in DL, but in EL, our reality is beautiful, enjoyable and interesting.

 

The notion of reality, that we have traditionally entertained – with DL – is of an environment outside of our body. However, the environment, like anything else we describe, is merely a word or a construct, that is neurally behaved by our body. You could say, the environment is in our body, but there is no language inside our body, yet the environment requires a living body. In EL, we are aware, we behave our environment, but during DL, we are totally oblivious about this.

 

During EL reality takes over from fantasy, as we realize, that reality can only exist, because we exist. In other words, we are one with reality, as we, literally, embody reality. Other than the reality, we are able to perceive – and describe with our language – there can be no reality. It can also be stated that our reality is only what it can be, due to our individual learning history, that is, it cannot be any other way, than how we are able to experience it. In DL, we are unable to express our experiences, as they are for us, individually, and, as a result, we live in a dissociated reality.

 

Whenever you refer to the reality, you always, inadvertently, speak or write about your own neural behavior, that is, what is experienced and verbalized by you. However, there is no you, inside of you, who experiences you. Therefore, the sentence, I experience reality, is false. In DL, in which you don’t listen to yourself while you speak, you not only imagine, that you have a mind and thoughts, but you also fantasize, that the environment is external from your body. All of these highly problematic misconceptions belong to DL and will be instantly dissolved by your EL.  

 

Awareness about the aforementioned sensory behavior, can only come about by your correct use of your language, which is EL. Perception of reality deriving from your DL, is based on your fixation on words, to which you have never listened. By simply talking out loud, alone with yourself, you begin to set the record straight, as the feedback from your body – we usually call listening or experiencing – becomes part of your language again. By giving attention to everything that asks your attention, by describing it to yourself, in your own words, you are now able to stop DL and engage in EL. Your perception of reality will have completely changed, as you are now for the first time using your language correctly, because as a speaker, you are your own listener. You can’t miss your LE, as you continue with your EL.
