you don't know. You will be in a difficulty for few seconds only for the first day, because how do you speak a language you don't know? It can be spoken, and once it starts, any sounds, nonsense words, just to put the conscious off and allow the unconscious to speak...
When the unconscious speaks, the unconscious knows no language. It is a very, very old method. It comes from the Old Testament.

Within weeks you will feel a depth in your sleep, and in the morning you will feel completely fresh. Then, even if I try, I cannot put you to sleep.

Your mind needs an antidote. Look at it this way: because the western mind particularly -- and now no other mind exists, only the western mind less or more everywhere, even in the East -- is in a hurry. That's why it has become interested in Zen, because Zen gives the promise of sudden enlightenment. Zen looks like instant coffee, and it has an appeal. But I know Zen won't help because the appeal
