Follow the Leader

"I’m full of light. Light beer."
Shortly after starting out on his 'spiritual path', The Chemical Buddha found people were receptive to his 'teachings'. At first, the fact that other people were listening to him made The Chemical Buddha nervous. Then, when his followers/groupies said he was 'the light', he downplayed it by saying it was only because they were high. But as he began to trust his own gifts and insights, he became more comfortable with people looking to him to show them how to live a life of expanded awareness. His disciples saw The Chemical Buddha as the living embodiment of 'following your buzz'. This was the dawning of the enlightenment through pharmaceuticals movement and the compiling of The Chemical Buddha's philosophies into its current marketing juggernaut.
Are you willing to be someone others follow? Why or why not?
Whom do you follow? Whom do you lead? (Whether or not you’re aware of it, you are being influenced by, and influencing, others.)
