Tranquility,

 

Whenever you hear or read about tranquility, you almost immediately relate it to something spiritual, religious, mystical or philosophical, but this is, because you engage, unconsciously, every day, in Disembodied Language (DL), in which there can be no tranquility. With DL, you are in a constant turmoil, because you imagine, that language happens inside of you or that you have thoughts or a mind. 

Although there are no sentences or words anywhere inside of you, the belief, that you can have an inner conversation with yourself, is so strong, because you would really like to say and hear what you believe to be thinking, but your DL doesn’t allow you to do that. However, if you would be able to have Embodied Language (EL), you would overcome your tenacious belief a behavior-causing inner self and experience your life in a peaceful way, because you say what you want to say and are capable of saying. With ongoing EL tranquility is simply your natural way of being. The beauty of EL is, you can hear it in the sound of your voice.

 

Recognizing your tranquility, with your ongoing EL, makes you aware of who you are. With EL, your attention effortlessly and naturally goes to the serene sound of your voice. You do nothing to produce this sound. You have this resonant sound, because you are at peace with yourself. You have never used this sound to speak with. What will you say, when you identify this voice and say with this voice, what you can only say with this voice? And what will you do, after you have given yourself instructions with this voice? You will do exactly, as you have said you would.

 

The congruence between your conscious way of using your language and all your other behavior results in the increase of your tranquility. Nothing can produce your tranquility, as your EL can. Your EL is more than merely speaking, as it involves listening, while you speak. Also, to maintain your EL, in spoken form, you need to write about your EL, so that you can read it. Spontaneous expression and fluid formulation of EL in spoken form, needs to be documented, made solid and further elaborated on, in written form, so that all four aspects of your language – speaking, listening, writing and reading – have been fully covered.

 

Traditionally, various folklores have used texts to, supposedly, achieve tranquility, but since the difference between DL and EL has never been properly addressed – with EL – we have never used our own writing, about our own ongoing EL, to experience and enhance our tranquility. Moreover, due to our habitual involvement in DL, we experience tranquility, as a movement away from our language, rather than a movement into our language. However, in EL, there is no inner language or mind, as there is only the switch from DL to EL, which dissolves our DL-created-illusion. The experiential nature of our phony tranquility is, due to our DL, believed to involve a so-called spiritual or meditative process of quieting the mind. Yet, we all experience moments, in which we feel tranquil, we have an intuitive sense of what it is, but our insensitive, mechanical, dull DL doesn’t capture it and thus, it disturbs our experience.

 

With EL we can finally talk about our tranquility to our heart’s content. This is such a nourishing, healing, ecstatic, enlightening event. As a result of our ongoing EL, our tranquility no longer slips through our fingers. In other words, we are not anymore struggling to define it, to share it or to hang on to it. With ongoing EL tranquility lasts, as it reveals our Language Enlightenment (LE).

 

The common notion of inner peace is based on the falsehood of the subsidence or quieting of our private speech. As stated, there exists no inner language, but DL makes us imagine, that we have a covert conversation with ourselves. If we would ask ourselves – out loud – what is this presumed inner self, who supposedly, inwardly, is inaudibly talking, we are puzzled, confused or even crazy? And, who, inside of us, is having a conversation with who? One answer always only results in even more questions and on and on, because we are in the fantasyland of the psychotic, in which we quite literally believe to be hearing voices. We speak about thoughts, but the fact is, we are imagining inner speech. Only during EL, while we talk out loud with ourselves and listen to ourselves, do we get clear about the many fabrications our DL. 

 

The tranquility of EL is so wonderful, you won’t want to leave it. Although you’ll lose it again and again, you will look for it and find it, as you know, you will find it, by speaking with yourself and listening to yourself. You’ll go through whatever it takes, to have EL, because your LE – your ongoing EL – implies lasting tranquility. The times of despair are behind you, once you have acknowledged the enormous difference between your DL and EL. Your EL keeps steadily increasing, while your DL becomes less and less and, although you do, whatever it takes to make this happen, it feels as if this is happening by itself. Naturally, your EL keeps unfolding and showing, you are new, but you know, you do it, you have transformed.

 

Tranquility is a behavior, like breathing, which goes on with everything you do. During EL, your breathing, like your voice, is regular, deep and calm, but during DL, you hyperventilate, or you are holding your breath. Moreover, when you truly pay attention to how you sound in DL, you never like to hear the sound of your anger, fear, confusion, sadness, frustration or pretention.

 

With DL, we just don’t take the time, to enjoy our tranquility, but with EL, we finally allow ourselves to recognize and fully enjoy our own gracefulness. In principle, we can all see the beautiful sunset, hear the birds sing or smell the roses, but these effortless moments don’t register, because of our DL. When we, for the first time, discover the difference between our DL and EL, we are delighted, that we can pay attention to whatever asks our attention, as we can hear and feel, our ongoing EL deepens our tranquility.
