“Why do controlled substances lead to uncontrollable behavior?”
As demonstrated by today’s insight, The Chemical Buddha had an appreciation for irony and word play. He was said to have mumbled this in the drunk tank at his local jail. The cops and his fellow inmates didn’t share TCB’s ironic appreciation. He also tried this insight when trying to get his fellow citizens to sign his petition seeking to take controlled substances off their leash and make them uncontrolled. And while all of the street people were totally in favor of it, no one else was. And without a valid address (rather than ‘under the 6th street viaduct’) the signatures he did get, didn’t count.
Whose opinion do you value and why?
What sway does their opinion have over you?
What things to you do or don't do because of their opinion? What’s the impact on you?
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."
