Spiritual Materialism

“Give your life to God. Give your money to The Chemical Buddha.”
The Chemical Buddha had no problem with people giving up their material possessions in order to follow their spiritual calling. In fact, he encouraged it. As long as they were giving their stuff to him. As a spiritual leader, he felt it was necessary he have all the stuff his position entitled him to. Mainly sex, drugs and gourmet food. And believe us, TCB had to spend a lot on all of those to get his fill (or to get someone to fuck him). If any of his friends even hinted they were going to join a monastery or walk the earth to find their purpose, The Chemical Buddha would offer to ‘watch’ their stuff while they were gone. If, by chance, they returned for their stuff (be it months or hours later) he would usually say something about them being happier without all that 'shit' weighing them down.
Do you think it’s possible to live a spiritual and material life?
Do things, people or experiences make you happy?
