“Drugs prevent you from feeling your life.”
Other than helping him achieve enlightenment, one of the things The Chemical Buddha liked about taking drugs was how it took any anger, fear or sadness and changed it into an even mellow. Of course, alcohol did sometimes bring out the anger and tears. And coke and meth made him a little manic but it was usually better than what he was feeling. The Chemical Buddha believed this was the reason people took drugs. TCB also thought we all take things as a way of preventing ourselves from truly experiencing what it means to be human and alive. But it beat the hell out of feeling the pain of the past and the possibility of healing it. (Of course, none of this applied to The Chemical Buddha because he was an enlightened spiritual leader.)
How do you keep from feeling your feelings?
How do you justify doing things you know are hurtful to yourself or others?
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."
