“Guilt is for those who actually remember what they did.”
Even in the face of overwhelming photographic or video evidence of, oh let's say The Chemical Buddha putting peanut butter on his dick and making a dog lick it off, if he didn’t remember it, it didn’t happen. So there was no way he was going to own up to feeling any guilt or shame about something he didn’t remember. That’s probably why one of the first tenets of enlightenment through pharmaceuticals is to get fucked up beyond remembering. Only then can one find what remains. (Which in The Chemical Buddha’s experience, was mostly blackness. But he did know he always came out on the other side.)
What events in your life would you be better off not remembering?
What would it take for you to forget it and/or forgive yourself?
