Dishonesty,

 

In each language there is a word for dishonesty. However, it isn’t – as we tend to believe, with our unnatural Disembodied Language (DL) – a person, who is honest or dishonest, but it is the kind of language, which is used, which is honest or dishonest. Our effortless Embodied Language (EL) is the language of honesty, but our usual, automatic, insensitive, effortful, energy-draining DL, is the language of dishonesty. Our DL and EL are different languages, like Italian and German.

 

Although, of course, it sounds ridiculous to say, that Italian is the language of lies, but German is the language of truth, within Italian, there is DL-Italian and EL-Italian and in German, there is DL-German as well as EL-German. We have not considered, let alone explored, these two very different patterns of behavior, that exist within each language, as such an undertaking requires that we stop our DL and engage in ongoing EL.

 

Res turpis is the Latin term for dishonesty. Res (noun), meaning, things, matter, business or reality, and turpis (adjective), meaning, ugly, filthy, foul, disgraceful or deformed. Other Latin words are: fraus (noun), fraud, deceit, trick, duplicity; improbitas (noun), depravity, badness, immorality, bad quality, rascality; inliberalitas (noun), dishonesty, unworthy conduct; improbitatis (noun), dishonesty. The thing to get from this writing, is that with DL, we simply cannot be honest. Moreover, trying to be honest, isn’t honesty. In EL, we are not trying to be honest, because we are honest.

 

Dishonesty – which, in our usual, unconscious, scripted way of talking, is viewed as the act or practice of being intentionally deceptive or not fully truthful in some way – is experienced very differently during DL or EL. The aforementioned description clearly derives from DL, because in EL, we would say, dishonesty is determined by a person’s inability to listen to the sound of his or her voice, while he or she speaks. Moreover, in EL, we don’t accuse anyone, who has DL of not listening to him or herself, as that would mean, we are again engaging in DL. However, in DL, we always accuse someone of being dishonest and, consequently, we continue with our DL, that is, we never become honest and engage in EL, as long as we still punish each other with our DL.

 

During DL, we endlessly attack the other person for his or her presumed dishonesty, because we assume, that they are intentionally deceiving or misleading us, by telling us lies, omitting parts of the truth or twisting the truth, but once we have EL, we realize – to our big surprise – that everyone – yes, everyone! – engages in DL unconsciously, and, therefore, unintentionally.

 

Once we recognize the immense difference between our DL and our EL, we acknowledge, we have been lying to ourselves and to others with our DL. Moreover, once we recognize the difference between our DL and our EL, we no longer want to have DL, as we prefer to have EL, so that we can recover from our dishonesty.

 

Another unaddressed aspect of why we can’t be honest as long as we engage in DL – which, as I have repeatedly stated in previous writings, is group-behavior – is that honesty, in our usual DL, is considered a key element of pro-sociality. In other words, our honesty is always directed at others, but not to ourselves. We overrate the importance of prosocial behavior, in which we intend to benefit others or society as a whole, because this means, we forget about ourselves.

 

Since we have never been able to address and fully understand – with our EL – the difference between DL and EL, we tend to exaggerate the importance of prosocial behavior and we are inclined to misjudge antisocial behavior, which, in essence, is a failed attempt, at caring about ourselves. With ubiquitous DL, we have never – yes, never (!) – been able to truly care about ourselves and this problematic inability, to care about ourselves, keeps us busy with others or with animals, to, presumably, care about them.

 

Many aspects of dishonesty are based on lies, which we have been told – and which we are currently told – about our so-called social behavior. While it surely is important, to have empathy and concern about the welfare and rights of others, to be cooperative and fair, it is quite another thing, to view the world through idealistic-pro-social-colored glasses. Make no mistake, the term pro-social has grown into a globalist-political-communistic movement, which preaches a world without borders, but is willing sacrifice, the hard-won freedoms of the individual. We have never experienced ongoing EL and we haven’t been taking good care about ourselves. Instead of working for social change and remaining busy with others, we must bring attention to ourselves, by speaking out loud with ourselves and by listening to ourselves. We only experience so-called psychological safety, if we can engage in ongoing EL, the language of our individuality, intelligence and honesty. Our usual DL is an outdated ancient group-behavior, which cultivates and perpetuates our dishonesty.
