“If you want to know what life is all about, ask a kid.”
Kids bring so much honesty to the table. They still haven’t figured out what is and is not socially acceptable to say to someone else. And their views of the world are pretty simple. However, it confused The Chemical Buddha when parents would tell their kids, "Honesty is the best policy," but then chastised them for giving someone their honest opinion like, "You’re ugly" or "You smell." It only served to remind TCB of one of his favorite Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy. To paraphrase, it went something like this: "The face of a child says so much. Particularly the mouth part of the face." There was a time that TCB liked the blunt directness children dished out. Until it started to hurt his feelings. So what if it was true, it still hurt. That’s why TCB preferred to talk with adults who were afraid to be direct.
Are you honest with yourself? What do you not admit to yourself?
Are you honest with others? What do you not tell other people?
How might being honest with yourself and others impact your life?
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."
