"I have the can opener to open your mind."
Like you, The Chemical Buddha was a somewhat normal little boy before he set out on his path. Legend has it that he found his calling at the age of 5 when a friend of his parents gave him his first hit of acid. Actually, he saw everyone else doing it and asked for some. The friend was too far gone to refuse and placed the tab on his little tongue. As he did so, he said, "This'll open your mind.” As TCB took his trip, one of the things he thought about was can openers. It felt like someone actually opened his skull and poured in new thoughts, sensations, and ways of seeing the world. Before adopting the name The Chemical Buddha, he often said the above phrase and referred to himself as The Can Opener. But that seemed more like a name for a professional wrestler than a leader of an enlightenment movement.
What ideas are you closed to and don't even consider?
What one thing could you open yourself to just to see what happens?
About The Elvis of Enlightenment
- The Chemical Buddha
- Not much is known about The Chemical Buddha (as he preferred to be called) other than he was a crack baby with fetal alcohol syndrome born into a family of hippie hedonists. Throughout his life, The Chemical Buddha sought spiritual enlightenment through excess. To put it quite simply, he saw himself as the Elvis of Enlightenment. While still in his-mid twenties, The Chemical Buddha left this earthly plain for the last time while beer bonging chicken gravy and shooting heroin as he engaged in an orgy that included at least four members of the amphibian family. His last coherent words, before he asphyxiated on vomit that was not entirely his own, was “Nirvana. Choke! Gag! Cough!” Did The Chemical Buddha transcend his earthly bonds through his unorthodox lifestyle? Did he find the key to “Nirvana?” Or was he answering a music trivia question? Here is a collection of the thoughts, sayings, views and bathroom graffiti that has been attributed to The Chemical Buddha. Was he a mystic sent to show us the way or just another drugged out freak that incoherently babbled a few crude views about life? Decide for yourself. This blog of his teaching is maintained by his "monks."
